THQ Announces Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine headed to the PC alongside Xbox 360, PS3 Versions
by Xav de Matos, Jul 26, 2010 11:40am PDT[Update: 6:25pm] THQ has told Shacknews that "no details" regarding Games for Windows Live support for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine are being announced at this time.[Original Story] For PC users experiencing a serious lack of balding space marines, we have some good news for you this afternoon. THQ has just announced its upcoming third-person action-shooter Warhammer: 40,000: Space Marine is headed to the PC alongside previously announced Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. "The loyal PC audience is incredibly important to us here at Relic so we are delighted to be able to announce the PC version of the game," Relic Entertainment general manager Jonathan Dowdeswell said in a press release announcing the PC version. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is scheduled to hit stores in early 2011.
Developed by Relic Entertainment, Space Marine puts players in the role of "one of humanity's elite warriors" and the "last line of defense." Essentially, shoot anything that isn't you.
Shacknews has contacted THQ to confirm whether or not Space Marine will follow previous Warhammer titles in the company's catalog and feature Games for Windows Live support on the PC. At the time of publishing the company had yet to respond.

I agree GFWL is a pain, I've got a 360 account so its no bother. I have friends who don't and it makes them crazy. Can't say I blame them. Still, really really happy this will come to PC. Relic is one of my fav PC devs!

We all really wait for such a title. Please "produce it" (or should I say, push the "port" button).
Irony off ... (for the blind, and consoleros)

Shouldn't that be "and require Games for WIndows Live on the PC" AFAIK there is no game where GFWL is an optional feature.

Delay the PC version by 3-6 months to maximize profits on the console release, Relic. I won't hold it against you. Just thanks for a PC version.
