Kill Team: The Video Game

[DCompanyChris]

Anyone know when this will be available on Xbox Live?

[wittdooley]

Tomorrow. Can't. Wait.

[Bigthunda]

I really hope if comes out for steam...otherwise I may have to man up and get a 360 or PS3 (especially with Space Marine comin' soon)

[Calgar33]

I'm pretty sure it comes out on the 20th, also I just checked live and it wasn't available so I am guessing the 20th.

Typically, video games (along with CDs and DVDs) are released on Tuesdays. The 20th is a Wednesday.

[pgarfunkle]

THQ said that it would be available on the 13th (today) on Xbox live and whenever it clears the submission process on PSN , I have a PS3 so I'm waiting for more info.

[adamkula]

cant wait to see it on PSN looking forward to it maybe tey should make an offical game like vassel....

[pauljc]

Yeah, my buddy and I are waiting on this for the PS3 to get some co-op pew-pewing done! Deathwatch stylee!

In other news: damn it sucks that Space Marine ain't coming out on PC.. *sad panda*

[pgarfunkle]

Yeah my buddy and I get together to play GW on Wednesdays after work and would have been playing Kill Team instead tonight if it had been released on PSN.

Update:

The latest from THQ is that it could be a few weeks before the game appears on PSN due to it not having been cleared through the submission process yet, however it is now starting to appear on XBL.

I'm wondering if the delay on the PSN side has been caused by the network crash from May/June

Yeah, I just bought it on Xbox Live. Downloading now. Strange that arcade games come out on Wednesdays though.

[pgarfunkle]

You'll have to let us know what you think when you've had a go.

[wittdooley]

Played it a touch this morning before work. The controls were a clumsy at first (but I think that's because they're CoD counter-intuitive) but the game is just what you'd expect: A fun, shoot-and-slash 40k fest. I only played through the first level, but I know I'm going to put some time into it tonight as well.

[snikrot]

i just finished playing through the first two levels on my xbox once with the devastator and then the assault marine both are tons of fun cant wait to play a few co-op matches though.

[DCompanyChris]

Download it right now....can't wait to play.

[Calgar33]

Apparently I lied/was lied too! It is out on XBox live and I am currently downloading it! :D

[Denzark]

Yeah, my buddy and I are waiting on this for the PS3 to get some co-op pew-pewing done! Deathwatch stylee!

Really? THHQ website is still linking to pre-order a PC version.

[relasine]

I'm d/ling it right now. Shoot me a PM for a friend request to jump in with some multi-playerness.

[wittdooley]

Can't wait to get home and play it some more!

[relasine]

Feels like a standard beat-'em-up action game. Plays okay so far. I'm liking it.

[DrLove42]

It not online multiplayer is the only problem

Played through all but level 2 on co-op. its not too long but good fun!

[Night System]

Just downloaded and played first level.

I must say im very impressed.
For a game that was under £10 in price its a ton of fun. I played through as a devastator and gunning down hordes of orks with my heavy bolter while gaining power ups was extremely satisfying. And you gain points! sigh* leaderboards will be forever my new goal =[

One problem is lack of online multiplayer but that isnt a big worry, its much better to have your friend sitting next to you anyway =]

[DrLove42]

Techmarine is the best class.

Good heavy weapons (the meltagun is a stead stream of death). Good combat (better than sterngaurd at least). And the Tarantula turrets are great against nearly anything

[wittdooley]

Do any of you programmy-types happen to know how difficult a later online implementation would be? If the game sells well enough, would that be a patchable thing?

[relasine]

It not online multiplayer is the only problem
That... is disappointing.

[DrLove42]

Its difficult. not impossible. But tricky.

[wittdooley]

Its difficult. not impossible. But tricky.

I got my balls stuck in my jeans zipper tricky, or I'm 16 and knocked up my GF tricky?

[DrLove42]

Having only been in one of those situations....

Tricky as in its possible and has happened in games in the past. If theres been considerable clamour from the crowd they could add it, but only if they feel it would add to sales.

If it was coming out on PC it'd be easier on that than 360 or PS3

[Deadlift]

It reminds me of the old smash tv game where you used 1 stick to move and the other to fire. I have played the 1st level as a tech marine and the second as the libby, Its a good old fashioned no frills fun game, I like it so far.

[Xas]

good game. definatelly worth its price and a good marketing trick to promote the fullprice "space marine".

[DrLove42]

News just in...there will never be multiplayer nor any DLC for the game...

The developers just got shutdown, with the exception of handful of staff to make sure it releases on the PSN succesfully

2 hours or so...

Nids turn up at the tail end of Mission 3, and mission 4 is entirely dominated by them. Haven't been able to play past 4 yet - 4 has been tough enough for me that I feel like I need a friend there to help, or at least relieve the frustration when I'm forced to go back to the last checkpoint for the nth time.
