Feeling Blue? Space Marine Dev Diary #2

Last month we had Relic talking about the universe of Warhammmer 40,000: Space Marine, putting a positive spin on the fact that Space Marines are basically one-ton fascists who can survive by eating dirt.

This month Relic are talking about combat. What's the quickest way to regenerate your Marine's health? By pulling "over the top execution moves", of course. This builds "fury", which... ah, I don't want to give the game away. It's all waiting for you after the jump.

Let me tell you, I don't remember seeing half that many orcs when I previewed the game last year. I wonder if they decided to take the game in a more bombastic direction, or if this footage is just of later levels?
