In a talk with Eurogamer marketing manager James McDermott said that Dark Millennium Online will contain some of the combat elements of their latest title Space Marine

He adds that Vigil Games, the developer currently working on the MMO, has also used elements of Space Marine as influence for their title.

"In terms of some of the core mechanics, they were looking at our combat system quite carefully at one point to see if they could try and make it - not the same - but just have some level of consistency. That's definitely been a consideration."

How well do you think some of the combat type elements will translate over to an MMO?!

Very interesting, it's good to see THQ taking a 'whole I.P.' approach. I have high hopes for the combat system in DMO, and Relic's assistance should really help put icing on the cake.

This has helped restore my faith in DMO, that RELIC are taking an interest in how other games using the IP will be progressing and helping them out. One of the great downfalls of most MMOs are poor or boring or repetitive combat systems so if Space Marines combat system is really good & DMO uses elements of it then it could be an exciting MMO to actually play.

erm.. isn't that kind of a "new" video? Not really a new one, just the old IoM trailer with a tad more info in it. I don't remember seeing Predators in the IoM trailer for instance... nor a squad of BTs where one (red secondary colors instead of white) seemed to have some sort of leadership role. Or have I just missed this one for some bizarre reason... >_<

It's the Imperium of Man announcement trailer. It was first shown at Gamescom '10 - July @ Netherlands. It's an extension of the E3 2010 trailer; it has about 20 seconds more footage than the E3 trailer. The new info is in the text not the video.

Gamescom 2011 is on August the 16th - 18th.

Think it'll have space marine melee in it? From the space marine gameplay I've seen it just looks like button mashing on the same button for melee.

Like the post says.. it'll probably be influenced by Space Marine. What combat system it uses I'm not sure about tbh, but button mashing ala Diablo or auto attack ala WoW... can probably bet it'll be one of em. I guess it's a possibility they'll have something like AoC perhaps... which is actually best for this game depends on the pace of combat etc.
