looks soulless as fuck, built for nu-40k fans, not DoW fans
hard pass

it completely misses the mark tonally. you can tell just from the way that the gunshots in the cinematic sound like a fucking nerf gun instead of anything like an actual autocannon.

fan favourite stuff like Astartes is good because it blends wh40k and tacticool ""realism"" (it's not actually realistic but it's the kind of faux-realism that adds a gritty edge to the heroism instead of it just being marvel quipshit).

it's like that quote from kingdom hearts about how the closer you get to light the bigger your shadow is, or whatever. the violence needs to be VIOLENT in an impactful way, so that the fundumb marvelshit heroism and characterisation and narrative can stand out. without that edge all you're left with is the marvelshit and that sucks.

>>719071447 (OP)
Looks just like any other DoW game. Don't know what these bluds are yapping about.

People would've had more confidence if it was developed by someone with a good track record and not the mediocre CoH with mechs guys

Looks as abd as dow3, what the fuck. Why do the units move like cartoons again?

>>719071447 (OP)
Hope it's good.

>>719071447 (OP)
Kinda lost interest when they said all focus will be on the campaign. An RTS without online multiplayer is pointless.

Why do I see so much advertisement for "Horus Heresy" like it's a new thing? Isn't this shit old as fuck?

Scale of 1 to 10 how good are Ad Mech going to be?

>>719072114
But DoW fans are nu-40k fans.

>>719074079
There are no RTS developers anymore anon.

>>719081910
Is Iron Harvest not an RTS?

>>719079771
Damn, I gained interest now, death to competitive niggers.

>>719080415
They will just be IG with protoss pylons (noosphere) and RA tesla towers

>>719081998
Your father must be proud he raised some uncompetitive little faggot like you.

>Devs with good track record
They are all dead, there's a reason they're going with a brand new studio instead of Relic.
I hope these devs pull it through, it would be nice to have a new good RTS studio, I know their first game wasn't all that... But it also was their first RTS ever. They have more than a year for polishing this game.

>>719079827
they make shitloads of money from new models from the horus heresy (and scouring to come), and by doing horus heresy they don't have to advance the plot in M41 which pisses people off

>>719082212
Cry me a river faggot. Go play that shitty StarCraft ripoff, game was made for retards like you.

>>719071447 (OP)
I wish this game turns out to be good, I wish it implements what's best in DoW 1 and 2, but knowing the current state of GW and 40kfags I have a sneaking suspicion they're going to release a turd because 40kfags A.D. 2025 are going to gobble it up anyways.
40kfags were somewhat obnoxiuos 10-20 years ago, and they got way worse since then, just like GW was back then, and it grew even more cancerous since.
>inb4 what do you care about people enjoying the game rather than the game itself
A game is made for a certain audience, which in turn defines the product.

>>719082648
I don't think 40kfags will have any pull on this, DoW3 was shitty regardless of everyone telling Relic it was shit.

I would like them to make a good game but I'll keep my expectations low.

>>719080415
They'll be good
>Orks
Melee mob faction, large quantities of cheap shit that want to rush in close
>Necron
Small quantities of elite generalist units, rely on spells and abilities to even the odds
>Space marines
Small quantities of elite units specialist units, rely on simple rock paper scissors matchups to win
>Admech
...

They're going to be the spammy ranged DPS faction to counterpart Orks, probably with a lot of powerful damage spells, so that we have two simple brainless factions with opposing playstyles (orks, SM) and two complex factions with opposing playstyles ('Cron, Admech).

Ranged DPS and spellcaster factions are ALWAYS overpowered in RTS games until they're nerfed 50 times. RTS devs famously don't understand the math that goes into their games.

>>719084136
DoW3 was shit because Relic was gutted under SEGA with most of its old guard laid off. SEGA were the ones who wanted a MOBA, and they are famously intransigent when it comes to user feedback. Not to absolve Relic of responsibility, modern Relic is shit. But how could they not be shit when their publisher rugpulls their funding and forces them to lay off all their talent? Relic went from being a canadian company that employs canadians to being a schizophrenic multinational agglomerate that employs 3rd world "tech talent" and mainly serves as a relay and holding firm to pass SEGA's money to 3rd parties who make the jigsaw pieces of what might eventually constitute a game.
