Warhammer 40K: Space Marine Announced for PC
Relic is also working on a PC version of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine.
Monday, THQ said that a PC version of its upcoming 3rd-person Action RPG/Shooter Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine will launch alongside the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions in "early 2011."
According to Canadian-based developer Relic Entertainment, the loyal PC audience is "incredibly important" to the company. They should be: Relic was strictly a PC developer until 2006 when it launched its first console title, The Outfit for the Xbox 360.
"We are delighted to be able to announce the PC version of the game," Relic's General Manager Jonathan Dowdeswell said.
The premise of Space Marine sounds rather typical of most action-oriented shooters as of late: players are thrust into the boots of "one of humanity’s elite soldiers, genetically engineered and equipped with state of the art weapons and armor." Players find themselves in the middle of a battle to defend an Imperial Forge World from an invasion by the Orks.
"Through extensive genetic modification, psycho-chemical conditioning and years of rigorous training that would kill a normal man, a Space Marine becomes superhuman," reads the game's description. "When one of the industrial ‘Forge World’ planets where humanity creates its greatest weapons comes under attack and the thousands of imperial soldiers stationed there are overwhelmed, the only thing standing between this planet and its total destruction is your Space Marine."
Currently the game's website only plays host to a small description and a trailer. Stay tuned for more in the coming months.

But it's going to be a crappy port...
They named it "Space Marine?" - REALLY? They're going to get nailed for being an unoriginal shooter even more now.
Meh. Despite being nerdy the WH40K universe has had years to mature and grow so at least were garunteed a great story.
Relic's marketing team were clearly not listening in the back-story brief. In the 40K universe, mankinds weapons are anything but technologically advanced considering they don't know how most of them actually work anymore and thus pray to their machine spirits to keep them working. Aside from Orks, mankind probably has the least advanced weapons in the universe, they just have sheer weight of numbers and the genetic abominations they call space marines.
Still it should be a good story, i always love a 40K video game almost as much as i love playing the TT game.

Tell that to DoW 1 + 2 (spoiler: humans kill orcs, eldar appear, humans kill eldar, sudden realisation that eldar were there for a reason, new race appears, humans kill tyranids/Necrons/Chaos, etc etc).

It's a shame they've never really taken advantage of some of the awesome parts in the story, a 40k RPG could potentially be amazing if done right.
Yeah agreed, but again, for the massive Games Workshop fanboys it will never be good enough because of the developer not being able to include every pedantic bit of detail.
I'm very interested in the new MMO thats coming out, i think it will be good fun.
