Warhammer 40.000: Eternal Crusade: Exclusive Pre-Alpha Gameplay Footage Revealed

in News & Features Discussion

This is footage we took off-screen from Behaviour Interactive's studio in Montreal. It's pre-alpha footage for an early unfinished look at how the game's combat will play. Bear in mind that all of the "grayboxes" you see are just placeholders for art assets to come, but that you can already see how responsive and frenetic the combat is this early on. Enjoy!

NOTE: The handsome mug you keep seeing popping in and out of frame is none other than our own Garrett Fuller, who visited the Montreal Behaviour Interactive studio. The audio on the original track was a bit wonky, so we dubbed over it with music from the studio and Bill Murphy's lovely tones. Garrett's currently writing another article on his impressions of the game for next week. Cheers!

    After the incredible, near-perfect animations of Space Marine, Behavior Interactive will have quite a challenge ahead of them to not be considered inferior to the Space Marine multiplayer right out of the gate. Even though Space Marine only had peer-to-peer multiplay, it was of such an incredible quality level that I worry for Behavior's foreign imitation title.

    I have a feeling this won't be the direction of the game, but I wish the fighting would be on the same epic scale as Planet Side 1 and 2 and not smaller separate BGs or arenas.  I know this is only alpha, and I have no idea what the devs final vision is for this game, but I really do hope they think of "massive" battles with 100's of players and vehicles that would be worthy of a true WH40K game and not just something more akin to Kill Team.  I guess we will see though.

    Wait, this game is PvP only, deathmatch style?

     

    Why did I think this was a PvE MMO? Damn...

    The scale will indeed be at least as large as planetside. They are talking about having the entire continent be seamless.

    We already knew the game would take influence from Space Marine, so this video shows nothing except that they have a lot of work to do. I'm hoping that little arena is just their developer testing area too.

    This literally looks just like Space Marine.  Not that it's a bad thing.

    there will be open world PvP, not just scenarios, also there will be PvE events runing.

    For pre-alpha it looks very good ... from video i'm just afraid mouse is not used to move avatar (and I will never ever play again with that disgusting, inefficient wasd combination, just I can not understand how could I for years before) but to execute.

    confirmed i own too the SpaceMarine from THQ and the movement mechanics are EXACTLY the same ..! also the map meshes have the same feeling of a closed arena-battlefield ...

    that means in a realistic way they showed us nothing ...

    Looks so much like space marine.... which is a good thing. Space Marine Meshed with Planetside 2 would be amazing.
