Darktide!

Remember when there was a time when I was talking about how I wanted to see a shooter game where you play as an Imperial Guardsman? Okay, I know I was ripping off Titanfall by suggesting you get a Knight at the end, but we all know that was never going to happen.

Fortunately, we have Darktide!

This is...amazing. It looks absolutely amazing. I want this. I am a big fan of horror shooter games - probably nobody knows this because I have never written about this in my blog, but I love Doom 3, I love the Dead Space franchise (well, the third game fell a little flat for me), I enjoyed the Resident Evil remakes, my favorite game (and probably first ever game I have ever played) was the Aliens versus Predator franchise, which began from Gold Edition by Rebellion, included Sierra/Monolith's Aliens versus Predator 2 and the Marine campaign in the third game. Oh, and Alien: Isolation was absolutely amazing. Well, I only ever enjoyed the Marine campaign, was not a big fan of playing the Alien or the Predator campaigns. For reasons I won't go into, I didn't like Aliens: Colonial Marines (particularly when you spend most of the game shooting at Weyland-Yutani Corporation mercenaries instead of, you know, xenos), but by and large I love horror shooters.

And now we have Darktide. I want to play it. I can't wait to play it. Hooray! We'll see how it goes, but from what I've seen so far, it looks promising. You get to play as a Guardsman! And we get plasma guns! I want that plasma gun! WOOHOO! This is going to be awesome!

Sorry for getting hyped, but this is a dream come true for me!
