Drawing Inspiration from Fan-Made Film, Astartes
Here’s a cool bit of news for all you Warhammer 40K fans out there. The upcoming game Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is bringing a dose of authenticity. And guess what? They’re doing this by taking a cue from Astartes, a fan-made film. The team at Saber Interactive are working hard to ensure that the Space Marines are as true to their nature as possible. This means they can’t be sluggish or too fast, they have to be just right. It’s no easy task, but the devs found inspiration in Astartes. Thanks to the film created by Syama Pedersen, they now have a reference for a perfectly balanced Space Marine.
Fan Film Leads to Authenticity
Astartes wasn’t just popular, it was essentially a masterclass in how to depict the legendary Space Marines. The animation in the film depicts the warriors without overdoing it or being sloppy. It’s this blend of power and precision that the developers at Saber Interactive aim to recreate. They took note of how the film showcases the Space Marines – standing tall and moving swiftly in battle. Taking cues from such a faithful interpretation could just be what the devs needed to pull off an equally impressive illustration.
Digging Deeper into the Space Marines Lore
But simply imitating the film version wasn’t enough. The game also needed to deliver a thrilling experience for players. So, Saber Interactive sought the help of Jes Goodwin, the original artist behind the Warhammer 40K Space Marines. Goodwin offered a deep dive into the anatomy of a Space Marine’s armor. From magnetically suspended shoulder pads to a deep understanding of their movement in heavy armor, he added a wealth of knowledge to the mix. Armed with the visual reference from Astartes and Goodwin’s insider tips, the developers crafted a game that effortlessly weaves lore and action.
Excitement Builds for Space Marine 2
With a release date slated for September 9, 2024, the excitement is already building for Space Marine 2. Lt. Titus from the Ultramarines chapter returns as the main character, promising more action-packed adventure in the Warhammer universe. Saber Interactive’s commitment to authenticity promises players an immersive experience. So get ready to suit up again, tackle hordes of Tyranids, and journey through the grim world of the 42nd millennium.
