EDIT: A developer talks about multi, and has gameplay sequences: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2sCb8gia1o

Aww, yeah.

This excites more than the idea of getting laid...I really am a nerd.

The demo has only been out for people who pre-ordered on Steam for about a day, and there's already mods for it:

God, I love the RelicNews community.

Also, that forum, which never agrees on anything, has agreed that the demo is made of win and awesome, and the only major failure it has is being too damn short.

Has it? i pre-ordered it and have had no word about a demo or is that just for US pre-orders only?

[SpardaSon21]

Steam pre-orders, sorry.  Let me edit my post for clarification.

And yes, pretty much every time someone talks about the demo it is to heap massive praise on it.  Let me get a link.

There were a few Steam-related issues, but overall the response to the demo is that it is ****ing awesome.

[StarSlayer]

Heh 

Always Angry, All The time...

Ahh their lies the problem as Space Marine has been removed from the UK Steam for some reason, nobody at THQ is willing to say why, it has also been dropped by a lot of retailers for some reason. I don't get why the UK is having this problem and no other country to my knowledge is. Also Warhammer 40,000/Space marines are a UK IP

Yeah, there's been a lot of anger from the U.K. on that forum as well.  I don't know what the issue is, myself, and nobody else on the forums do as well.  People from Relic have said it isn't their decision though, and that leaves Steam (who would want Space Marine on their store) and THQ (who may have been pressured by retail stores in the U.K.).

Its not just Steam, UK retailers are being dropped as well, sofar i am only aware of GAME(which is selling it at a stupid price, nearly a £100s) and PLAY.com that are selling it. HMV have been dropped and my pre-order to Amazon was cancelled as i got an email of them saying they aren't stocking it so i changed to Play i just hope that doesn't get dropped .

I think a chat to THQ UK is in order, also i couple of phonecalls to the people i know that work for THQ to see if i can get answers on whats going on.

I play to mod Space Marine and play it as my own chapter:

Steam is downloading the demo as I type this.  I'll be sure to let you know if it is any good.

[SpardaSon21]

Alright, so I've played the demo, and I only have one thing to say.

**** YOU RELIC, **** YOU IN THE ASS WITH A CHAINSWORD!

The demo is totally balls-to-the-wall awesome, filled with pure win and lots of brutal Marine-on-Ork violence and murder, complete with massive sprays of blood when Ork body parts are vaporized and exploded by your Space Marine fury.  The combat is smooth and fluid, and melee and ranged combat blend neatly together with instant and easy swapping between the two.  The controls are also easy to use, and keyboard and mouse work well for both melee and ranged combat so one doesn't need an Xbox 360 controller.

The demo is also two relatively short levels.

Damn, I was beaten to the punch.

Yeah, I felt like a Space Marine - an awesome achievement. Putting this on my "Must buy" pile

[mxlm]

Put it on hard and the game is actually pretty hard. Good times.

[NGTM-1R]

It's pretty cool, but the short bit available to play worries me about overall game length.

[Hades]

It's pretty cool, but the short bit available to play worries me about overall game length.

One of the devs said it is supposedly 12 hours long, so I wouldn't worry too much.

[NGTM-1R]

Also, I just took a moment to watch the IG fire on the Orks in the big fight at the lift. The local guard has full-auto lasguns, and...

Holy ****, they even made lasguns look awesome in this game. Mother****ing lasguns!

[starbug]

Crap why the hell is the UK not allowed the demo(funny how WH40k is a UK IP)!! Website says Worldwide release for Space marine Demo, click on the link and Steam says " This item is unavailable in your region"  So if this game requires steam how are we supposed to get the game activated on Steam UK when it has been removed?????????

[The E]

Played the demo, liked it. Probably not going to buy it at full price, but I have this sneaking suspicion that it's going to be in a Steam christmas sale sooner or later.
