Space Marine demo on steam

I quite liked it. Glad I pre ordered it. Certainly fun and quite challenging when using an Xbox Controller. Can't say it is the greatest looking game out there and it did freeze a bit (Crossfire perhaps?) but it should be more polished when it is released.

Well, downloaded the demo and played.
First setup my video controls for Eyefinity play, you have to select the Aspect Ratio to find the correct resolution. I selected 5760x1080 with all settings on High.
The HUD menu messes up and I found out that the ingame video doesn't scale to that resolution so you miss half the action. Once that's over, the field of view is fine and it's playable, but weapon counter is on your far right, weapon selection is on the middle monitor. Subtitles are half on the middle and right screen. Health bar is on the middle monitor as well. I suggest you change game controls and options before you select an large resolution, because after I set it, I found it very hard to see the menu and move around it.
The maps do look great, but I can't help feeling it's like Dawn of War but in first person.
Anyway, here is some screenshots that I took: http://www.iwgames.game-maps.net/spacemarinedemo/

Press Q...
Q is used to throw a grenade. The question is directed at the grenade launcher weapon.
Unfortunately I do not know as I was too busy slashing all things with the chainsword.

He's showing off his 100mb again
Yup. I didn't think it would, but it's more than happy to.
I'm sure I'll be just as humped as everyone else come releases/sales though.
