I'll have to pick it up later there are FAR too many games coming out early September. I've already earmarked Astrobot and MvC Collection.

Tempted to pre order as generally they’ll be decent Xbox codes around. Shame I can’t be my old crew the space wolves. Interested to see the S performance as that is what my son will be on. All the pc preview footage looks way better than what will be on Xbox. I haven’t purchased a game for a long time but this could be the one, looking on game pass there a game I want October, November and early December so this keeps me busy before that.

I’m definitely in the “I really want this” camp but I’m being good and not buying anything else until SH2. Bloody loved the first game and everything I’ve seen of this looks brilliant.

Famous last words Wunty. I fully expect to see you playing at least three new games before SH2 releases 😉

Don’t even. I’ve just bought a load. I REALLY need to tone it down! I barely even have time to play anything!

A couple of people from work are buying, it does look good. One colleague said it plays a lot like Gears...to which I replied so why not just play Gears then, he knew then he had been hoisted by his own pertard

There’s no cover shooting in Space Marine, and Tyranids are waaaay cooler than the Locust, but tonally it’s similar.

If it's anything like Space Marine 1 then it's mainly about the melee combat rather than the shooting.

For anyone interested in the actual miniatures, there's a new magazine that launched this week with a very cheap and great value first issue.

I loved it as a kid, was a space wolf. Not really interested now although I do like a good board game. Been playing hero quest lately and my friend is currently painting some of my blood borne miniatures.

I have heroquest upstairs, patiently waiting for my kids to be a bit older.
The playing board from the original is one of the few memories I have of my childhood.

Mine loved it the other day as there is a free app to use on a tablet and it’s excellent. It plays as zargon and sorts out most of the rules and board placements for you so there’s no need to keep referring to the rule books etc. has some ambient music and also it’s voiced for campaign briefings and when enemies die etc etc. |

They're 5 and 2. 5 year old's first day of school was today. I think he'd like it, but his attention span at present wouldn't be good enough |

What are the performances like? on PC and on Console?
On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, is there a performance mode, quality mode, and what FPS can we expect? And other specific details.
Quality Mode: 4K resolution at 30FPS.
Performance Mode: Up to 60FPS at 1080p.
Please note that on Xbox Series S, the Quality Mode will allow for 1440p at 30FPS and the Performance Mode will not be available.
What kind of communication tools will we have in-game?
➡️ There is a Voice Chat, a Communication Wheel with preset messages and a Text Chat (exclusive to PC versions) to facilitate your exchanges with your teammates.
Does the game support the haptic features of the DualSense controller?
➡️ We support force triggers on the DualSense controller, but not haptic feedback at launch.
What about RayTracing, DLSS, and other PC-specific technologies?
DLSS2 / FSR2: Available at launch.
DLSS3 / FSR3: Planned for post-launch.
RayTracing / HDR: Not supported.

If the only upgrade is the resolution I’ll deffo go for 60fps on series x then. |

"Upto 60fps" is an interesting phrase.

Probably will be mid 40s then and 60 when not too much going on. If it fluctuates too much the locked 30 4k version might be better.

No PvP between console/PC, just PvE co-op only.
I can see the reason for this, but it still would have been an idea to allow console players the option to toggle matchmaking with PC players on or off.
Splitting the online player base never seems like a great idea tbh

It's good for consoles because they won't have to put up the with cheating fucks on PC that ruin all cross play shooters.
