WH40K: Dawn of War
Will we be lucky this time? Back in the days, Wahammer games were cool ( space Hulk, Shadow of the Horned Rat, Dark Omen ). Then they were bad, or even cancelled. The we got false hopes ( Firewarrior, disapointing ). So here's the new challenger: Dawn of War

http://www.relic.com/product/dawnofwar/index.php

Well it's by Relic ( Homeworld ). I do think that's a good start, right? Then it looks good ( not something jaw dropping, but you won't look away with disgust, at least ) , so all the better. And it seems awfully action packed ( check the Battle II screenshot, love the pieces of space marines flying away in the background :p )And finally, there's muchos gore, which ownz :D ( the dreadnought shot :p ).
Well I have high hopes on this one, just hope it won't be orks VS space marines only...

  • huh?.. Who?.. hey you kids, git off me lawn!
well, there's an untold 4th race in this game, so that may add to the dynamic somewhat..

and it's from relic, so they do have a decent pedigree as far as RTS's go.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Ah, st00pid me, they talk about it in the latest White Dwarf:
Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, Orks and Eldars.
This game won't please the casual Starcraft fan, btw, it's real time, you have a base and everything, but you also have the usual warhammer stuff like leadership tests and stuff like that ( under heavy fire, your units will bow down and be less effective, well, at least, they won't flee, it seems :D ).

If you forget about the crappy unit design and the amount of them onscreen, yeah :p

Well, the thing will be 100% moddable it seems, and I'm pretty sure there's some way to extract the fire warrior meshes "hint hint" :D

Doesn't look very appealing.
Modern man is the missing link between ape and human being.

Oh, I don't know, for a game still in development, that doesn't look too bad at all :)

It does. But then again, it's crappy full 3D so what can you expect :ick:

Yay! Low resolution sprites for the people! The people demand unadvanced isometric displays!

Please...

I watched this in action at E3. It looks fantastic.

I am looking forward to more info on it. You might be able to tell from my nick that I am/was a W40K fan ;)

IG is in DoW.

Only in single-player campaign as allied forces, but it's there.

And I'll just say that this game rocks.

Lol, I never made the link, to be honest :p

ABout the IG, according to White Dwarf, there's gonna be Forgeworld stuff in DoW, so, considering half their imperial armour range is IG, well...

And I can't find your friggin' vids, CmdKewin, mind giving us a direct link?

Forgeworld stuuf doesnt nessecarily mean Ig, though  a space marine ally in sp most likely does. Be daft to leave them out really.

100% moddable eh? Better go have a look for the forgeworld warhound titan assembly instructions then.
