I have wondered just how successful Space Marine has been as a franchise for them. I don't care for the Call of Duty type FPS games, but enjoyed Tribes (in the olden days) and really do enjoy this one quite a bit. If Planetfall had a bigger following it would have been a fun game as well.
Seeing a game like this get a proper implementation would be magnificent. I'm disappointed that DM won't be a MMORPG, was looking forward to that.
Though I guess I can take solace in that I will be allowed to continue to have a life outside of the timesink that is an MMORPG.
Ryan did you play Tribes AA on PS2? Loved that fucking game, had an awesome small community like this one. With the players keeping it going.
No, I played Tribes and Tribes 2 on PC on a number of different servers with different rules. Never really had a community that I was aware of per se. Heck, Space Marine is the first console game I've played with any duration. I mean I completed Mass Effect 1, Dragon Age 1, but I couldn't even finish ME2, DA2, or Skyrim. I've never been a big fan of the Call of Duty series or those like it.
I imagine the next game I'll invest time in will likely be Mechwarrior Online if THQ can't get its act together. I had sworn off MMORPGs ever since I gave three years of my life to the original EverQuest, but I was ready to make the sacrifice for Warhammer 40,000.
