I'm one of the few people who actually enjoyed The Outfit, because it was one of the first 360 games to focus on destruction and it had some original ideas in it that games are still using today. The Outfit was a change of pace for Relic because they were known for their highly acclaimed real time strategy games( Dawn of War and Company of Heroes) and it was their first action game. The Outfit was met with mediocre reviews and since then Relic has gone back to developing real time strategy games exclusively, until Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. Although I enjoyed The Outfit, the prospect of Relic develop another action game didn't interest me. I still should have given Relic the benefit of the doubt since they did develop my favorite RTS, Company of Heroes. Even though Space Marine kept looking better and better it still wasn't getting me interested. That was until this combat system trailer finally made the game look fun and showed off some features that define it from other 3rd-person action adventure games. The combination of melee and shooting looks promising and hopefully each aspect is as well developed as the other. I'm surprised that everything seems to be coming together nicely with it and it's already looking a lot more polished than I thought it would be at it's release. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is set to release on Sep. 6, 2011.
