l'espace marin 2 le leader dit Doom 2016 a été une grande inspiration, tout comme le Space Marine original inspiré de Doom 1 qui à son tour a inspiré Doom 2016: “C'est un grand cercle de fraîcheur”

Warhammer 40,000: l'espace marin 2 est presque là, 13 années et one massive leak later. According to chief creative officer Tim Willits of developer Saber Interactive, previously studio director at Doom house Bien que seul le cadre de ces deux premiers jeux se poursuive dans les nombreuses suites, the upcoming sequel was looking directly at the modern Doom for reference on some key details, and he reckons the two series have traded notes multiple times over the years.

Speaking with GamesRadar+ at Gamescom, Willits argues “one of the things that a lot of gamers, Je crois, do not understand is how influential Warhammer 40,000 was for so many games. The original Doom marine looked a lot like a Space Marine. The chain sword in Gears of War was not the first chain sword. Even the power armor in Fallout, it looks a lot like a Space Marine.”

This comes to an especially sharp point with Doom and the Space Marine Warhammer games. “I know nothing about the original team at Relic that worked on the original [l'espace marin], but I believe that they were inspired by, obviously, Doom and Quake,” Willits says. “But what I do know is that when we were working on Doom 2016, we looked at the ‘push forward’ combat that they did so well in the original Space Marine. And we leaned into that push forward combat that Doom 2016 is a signature for. And then in Doom, we added the Glory Kills, and the Space Marine 2 team looked at that and was like, ‘That’s awesome, we need more of that.’ So you can see these over-the-top Glory Kills that are in Space Marine 2 – obviously, you know where those were inspired from.

“There are lots of similarities. For me to work with the team on a Space Marine game after working on so many games that have pulled inspiration from Space Marine is a great honor for me. C'est un grand cercle de fraîcheur,” Willits concludes.

One element Space Marine 2 has heavily emphasized is the sheer power that Space Marines command. It deliberately caps co-op at three players because you’re already “almost invincible,” alors adding any more Space Marines would make it “too easy.” Likewise, multiplayer is balanced in such a way that, même si “your teammates are idiots,” you can still make headway with a capable Space Marine leading the charge.

Warhammer 40,000: l'espace marin 2 le plomb dit Helldivers 2 “legitimizes what we’re making” by showing “people like multiplayer co-op games where you can just blow s**t up.”
