It's going to play like Gears 3, but it WILL NOT feel like it. I for one cannot imagine Marcus Fenix shouting "SPACE MARINES, ADVANCE AND ENGAGE! WE SHALL NOT KNOW FEAR!!!"
Space Marine Dev Not Worried about Gears Comparisons

Chainsaw bayonets? *yawn*
Power Fists that can Shoryuken a tank? Halberds that can cleave a Dreadnought in twain? A hollow tube that, when injected into the chest cavity of a man a wire springs forth, uncoils, then rotorblades his insides into a mush? Fuck yeah!
Really, Relic shouldn't be worried because they're working on bringing the original Space Marine to life, baby. And some people should be ashamed of using the term "Space Marine" so lightly in describing a generic sci-fi action hero; Gears of War cannot come close to matching the unbridled, beautiful insanity that is the 40K universe.
However, I would have preferred a DMC-style character action game featuring a Harelquin. Seriously, even the Space Wolves are dull and boring compared to space elf ninja killer clowns who, despite how that description makes them sound like great villains, are as good as good gets in the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium.

When I first heard about DOW, I thought it was going to be a starcraft clone...
...Then I saw the opening mission where the governor shoots an imperial guardsman in the back of the head for cowardice... Mid battle... And then offering himself up for execution for failure when the space marines arive.
Yeah, I've got no worries about the remotest connection between Gears and Space Marine

Of course they're gonna be similar. All shooters are. And Dawn of war has always had the cover base thing going since the first DoW series to DoW 2.
But DoW is an army, not 2 guys that might be homosexually inclined.
Also, I'd buy a DoW shooter, thats a big difference

Yep Warhammer seems to just get there 1st with most things really.manythings said:
Though I will still be getting this game regardless, been looking forward to it for a while.
I was into warhammer when I was younger, more for painting the models than the tabletop game. I played it a few times. The Lord of the Rings one was awesome for an 11 year old.
I kind of grew out of it though, I've never been too interested in the game itself you see. but the dawn of war series is cool, I'm not a massive RTS fan so this shooter sounds awesome, i'll definatley pick it up if its good.

Uh, am I crazy but everything that is Gears, was ripped off from 40k. I was painting models, with chainsaw guns and marines in huge body amour before Gears, was an itch in its daddies pants.
It's so blatant, that the Devs of Gears, played 40k and Star Craft. Drooling over Blizzards amazing game cinematic, that are legendary.
On a side note. You want to see good story telling, watch the any of the Craft Series cinematics.

Here another point of difference.
Gears of War pioneered the cover system that most shooters use these days.
Space Marine doesn't have a cover system becuase Relic (correctly) believed that using cover isn't Space Marineish.

It's not hard to see why people might compare the two games: both feature burly space marines shooting at aliens with enormous guns, with the occasional improbable, chainsaw-esque melee weapon popping up from time to time.
Space marines did it first....A few decades before gears of war i believe

I hope the Devestator Marine isnt limited to a lascannon or heavy bolter. I want to fire some king sized plasma or sweep orks in to ash with a multi melta.
Must...resist...Warhammer 40K...quote...can't...
FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!
I will defiantly be getting this. I personally never found anything appealing about Gears of War. It was just a gritty-brown shooter with a bunch of bland macho guys wearing power armour with radio speakers carrying around portable chest high walls because they're scared of bullets.

If anyone is going to be done for a rip off its GOW. Space marines have been out for around 30 years and on another note new Greyknights out this saturday final now my army wont suck vs deamons so time for some pay back plus my case wont weigh a ton -_-
Fuck cover, I AM A GOD DAMN SPACE MARINES.
ALWAYS ANGRY, ALL THE TIME.
COVER IS FOR PUSSIES, you hear that Gears?
So long as it still has the co-op aspect, so long as my friend can drop in with an assault jump and fuck shit up with a thunder hammer while I cover him with a heavy bolter, this game will be the best thing to come out of this generation.
Ever.

It is such a shame, I mean most of Blizzards stuff is essentially Warhammer, but with little tweaks here and there.RT-Medic-with-shotgun said:
GOW? are you MAD? Warhammer 40k came first B4 starship trooper, B4 halo, B4 GOW, B4 Terminator, B4 Xenomorph, B4 all modern/nextgen Heavy armor space solders, Even B4 freaking Starcraft!(yeh, people need to know, Starcraft is a Warhammer rip off that did a piss poor job, they don't even have space ORCS!) Don't compare the glorious Warhammer40K to some thing as unworthy as a "space marine (Warhammer40k space marine by the way) rip off", possibly only good because it's got nice cover based mechanics 3rd person shooter with awesome game engine, and lets not forget the THICK/EPIC LONG storyline, and heritage of Warhammer40K, compares to the "random, we just create plot/story/history as we go along Gears Of War...Common! "Bring out the HAMMER OF DAWN!~" What? Dawn of war? War Hammer40K? it's CLEARLY a REFERENCING Warhammer40K Dawn Of War! Either that, or the Dev can't think of a cool name, but their mind at the time are filled with Warhammer40K stuff!~ ... space marine would be TOTALLY opposite from that... see... GOW have heavy emphasis on "shooting" and melee is only icing, but in Warhammer40k, guns are prerequisite, but melee, is the "Big Game", because when it comes to the "captain classes" and above, melee IS the game, so i expect the game to have TONS/robust of melee combat system... thus become something COMPLETELY different from old-GoW...
