what was the last non-edf sandlot game, come to think of it?
I think it was Zangeki no Reginleiv.
wow, that’s a long time D:
not really a fan of the space ww2 aesthetic they got for this game. The first one was goofy and colorful and this one seems to be leaning into po-faced unironized fascist aesthetic too much, like an operation barbarossa phonk amv
this game came out a few months ago. it was started in 2006 by a three person company, suffered from feature creep, then one of the devs died, and eventually the two remaining people vowed to finish it up, which they did so very recently
it sure looks like a game from 2006!
it’s giving grimdark platform masters. i love it.

i was like haha clever and then i watched the video and you are ONE HUNDRED PERCENT SPOT ON
extremely ugly looking game that really does look like it should have been abandoned on the Xbox 360 to die. the aiming looks so bad and the guy playing cant stop whiffing his melee attacks. I can’t believe games workshop still uses the tyranids in videogames like their making a starship troopers fps instead of literally anything else more interesting than wow they’re like big evil bugs
Also the fucking horde mechanics are lifted from world war z which nobody played so I want to point that out. Like 6 mins into that gameplay there’s a setpiece that is exactly the same as one near the beginning of jerusalem 4 in WWZ. How weird.
I love how much this reminds me of dos shareware
in space marine 2 then they go through two giant closing bunker doors as well…and all the fucking enemies all stack up the same way!!!
love the idea that one of this games big inspirations is the Israel campaign setting from world war z. Games workshop can’t fool me. You hired the fucking world war z developers to make this game, and so everything is frankensteined out of other saber properties like that and mudrunner
i think they call that kitbashing in the miniature modelling community
yeah that space marine 2 footage aint doing it for me, the first one was so colourful and stuff and made it stand out in all the grey games of the era, and now the sequel looks like all the grey games of that era lol. also looks like it plays like ass
I’m insulted
i came home from vacation to an update and i was like who else could this be for but me? who is playing this game? you apparently.
its an underrated left 4 dead clone!!!
I actually think it’s awful, a limp, hollow feeling kind of thing, so underwhelming that I actively side eye anything being made by Saber Interactive
so who’s making Space Marine 2 again? Saber?
oh that’s too bad
That looks rad! I have no idea what kind of game it is, but the transparent textures for spider webs and fences and all that are my favorite sort of 3d trappings!
