While this is very early footage, I couldn't tell if there was any difference between the CSM and SM as far as animation goes. I'm hoping that in the final product, CSM won't just be a copy/paste of animation sets to different models since the other two factions will likely be sporting unique animation sets. Additionally, it'd be nice if, say, a Khorne aligned character could be made to move more erratically or twitchy, while a Nurgle follower may move its own way. Time will tell, I suppose. Anyway, the video shows a lot of promise as far as I'm concerned. Can't wait for more progress updates over the course of development. Its gunna be awesome! Super excited!
It definitely looks similar to space marine in a good way. I'm really eager to see how they handle eldar (and tau eventually) but what we see here is very good. Space marine is a wonderful game to build off of!
I think i saw the Unity Game Engine. You would know what i am talking about if you have used it before. Other then that during the game play footage i saw some of the textures. I wonder what it will look like in the final build.
unity is pretty unimpressive graphics wise, but if they can make it look good with their own render code im all in for it. so far what ive seen of unity in general is pretty sub par.

Pretty neat. Liked the execute feature - I wonder if it will have the same benefits as it did in space marine ?
