>>336354696
They only revealed 3 at this time, I think Chaos will also be in there on a later reveal but that is probably gonna be it. Other factions will probably be in a seperate expansion or DLC.

DOW has to be one of, if not THE, best RTS of the last decade. Every game has been more or less excellent. Extremely hyped for this. I'm sure that whatever changes they make it will still be amazing.

>With war raging and the planet under siege by the armies of greedy Ork warlord Gorgutz, ambitious Eldar seer Macha, and mighty Space Marine commander Gabriel Angelos, supremacy must ultimately be suspended for survival.
>You collect and level up elite units
The designers talk about Dawn of War 3 armies in terms of line and elite units. Line units deliver continuous damage and try not to die; elite units deliver decisive strikes.
IT'S A FUCKING MOBA
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

It's 2016 people, it's time to stop.

>>336356610
>those terminators
Wha.. how?
>>336356692
>>336356789
What I expect is it will be like CoH2 commanders but instead of just a portrait, you will get to use a specific prepicked commander on battlefield (like in DoW2 but with bigger roster).
In short, this is where DLC will most likely go.
>>336354218
>Space Marine Commander Gabriel Angelos
I wish they'd call him Chapter Master. Bastard worked overtime for it.
>>336356610
I'm actually feeling pretty cautious from what's been shown so far. Rather than being a glorious return to DoW1's style this looks and sounds more like a simplified DoW2 to me. Sure they have buildings again but the way they're going on about streamlining the battlefield and making everything clear and neat, in particular with these weird designs, have me thinking that the focus will be on stripped down and gimmicky individual encounter management to be decided by who more effectively uses their 'elite' super-power.
Anybody else concerned?
>>336356610
>no cover
I hope they make the infantry combat like in DoW2.
In DoW1 its was literally a standoff every time.
>Relic entertainment presents

this
Niggas we barely know shit yet chill out.
Liked both DoW 1 and DoW 2 but this seems a little off. Not sure about the style, 3 factions or tweaks to the formula. That said I appreciate the inclusion of Titan units, hopefully the battles scale upwards accordingly.
>>336357280
I'm concerned that those "elites" will be prime DLC food.
But i already have DoW1 and 2, might as well play Elite Mod for the rest of my life.
>>336356610
Look at those rocks on the right, it looks painted on
As do those lava effects
I think it might be actual in game models that were not finished on a map, which then got a touch up in a photo editing software of some sort
>>336354696
I know next to nothing about Dawn of War. We've seen the Orks, humans and the Eldars? What race are missing?
>>336356610
these shaders look unfinished
>no gameplay
Hot garbage
>>336356692
not really a fan of that "counter-pick" shit
>>336356610
background looks like a piece of concept art
>>336357606
Tyranids, tau, chaos, necrons, and imperial guard are the big ones missing.
>>336356610
I don't like this at all.
>>336356164
>bases are back.
NO!
FUCK NO!
Basebuilding doesn't fit 40k AT ALL.
>>336356613
your explanation was shit.
their threat is that theyre huge compared to humans and have raw strength and numbers to their advantage.
>>336356610
It's look like shit.
>Ask for another Dawn of War
>Get a modern Dawn of War
>It's shit
What a twist. Holy fuck you're retarded.
>>336354696

Its 2016 sega gotta get the dlc rolling.
>>336357746
Level looks okay. The plasticy models I'm not a fan of. Even Starcraft with its clear visibility has stuff made from believable looking materials.

I don't see anything bad in picking system, so stop sperging.
>>336354218
>3 races
>You collect and level up elite units
>we want the forge world audience
Can't say I was ever hyped for DoW3 but this is already shaping up to be a load of shit. They mention big armies yet only 3 races. Leads me to believe we're going to see JewLC at it's max.
At least that marine died happy serving the Emperor, right?
>>336356820
>tfw they probbably leave the sisters of battle as one of the final expansions, if they get added at all
>>336356610
I wouldn't be too concerned about the graphics just yet, as we don't even know when the game is gonna be released. That shit looks very much work in progress.
Also, those wraith guards are hilariously out of scale. They are way too big.
>>336354218
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
>>336356610
cartoony terrain makes me think they're purposefully making it look simple
probably trying to make it run on even the most simple of toasters as part of their push for accessibility
>>336357840
It does for Orks or IG
SM just drop shit on ground.
Eldar and Chaos just makes a bigger portal.
I just don't like construction fetishist pushing it on every race.
>3 Factions
>Perfect opportunity for 4 Chaos factions dedicated to each God
I swear to fucking god if they fuck this up even harder than they already seem to be promising to fuck it up.
X years later, Soulstorm is still the definitive W40k RTS
What the shit
>>336357575
Between Elite Mod and Ultimate Apocalypse I think I'm covered if this doesn't work out.
>>336354218

What the fuck? Are you telling me that there is no less than FIVE races missing? DLC jews?
>>336358215
>three factions in an RTS is now considered weird
All the people crying about the grim and girt and all that shit...
All the miniatures are usually colorfull and bright or grey. This looks more like tabletop than dow2 did and im okey with that.
>>336358135
>Not wanting to build additional monoliths
do you even necron?
>>336358135
Even Orks and IG at most build shit like landing pads and defensive crap. No research structures of factories that churn out new shit. Well, orks might actually make factories if given enough time and resources, but IG certainly would not.
>Knights confirmed
FUKKEN YES
I like this more organic look for the wraithbone, it fits the sort of Fall from Grace thign the Eldar got going.

>>336358328
Nigga do you know how many factions W40k has?
>>336358681
Chaos is shit. I bet they removed them intentionally simply because that every their game's plot revolving around le bad chaos guys wrecking the planet over some le obscure artifact. Its annoying.
>Trailer full of creeps
I don't get it, shouldn't they be showing off heroes?

>>336358891
>chaos is shit
>>336358828
yes, I've been playing the tabletop all my life
this is an RTS, and it needs balance. If you want to have all the races, you can be patient enough for them to add them in gradually enough for the balance to be not entirely fucked
Just look at Battlefleet, they're up to 4 races now and the balance is fucked because of it
How do I dawn of war? I always found trying to get into Warhammer was hard since there's like a shitload of lore
>>336358473
>the loyal are rewarded
??????????????????
>>336358761
Looks like it was traced straight from Bloodborne senpai.
>>336359013
Soulstorm has 9 factions
>>336359014
yeah but none of it is necessary to enjoy Warhammer.
It's appeal is mostly visual as it's a tabletop game, and therefore shit needs to look rad as fuck to be engaging
>>336358428
That looked fucking fantastic. Too bad the actual in game graphical direction seems to be utterly shite.
Was the trailing showing titans?
Were those titans?
>Space Marines

>>336359014
Lore isn't too bad really, Dawn of War + Expansions in chronological order should tell you enough. If you want the gist of it you can go to either a proper 40k wiki or 1d4chan (/tg/wiki for an easier read) to get your head around the finer details.
The games should start you fine, then maybe read each race's page on 1d4chan once you have a basic idea of what each is and you'll get the setting more or less.
>>336358778
Fuck off bitch nigga and go back to overwatch threads. Even DoW II had more than 3.
>>336357606
Dawn of War + Winter Assault + Dark Crusade + Soulstorm (all the expansions) had:
Space Marines
Chaos Space Marines
Eldar
Dark Eldar
Orkz
Imperial Guard
Necron
Tau
Sisters of Battle
that leaves Adeptus Mechanicus, Exodites, Tyranids and maybe some more obscure factions like the Lost & the Damned (non-marine heretics) and you could consider Chaos Daemons a seperate faction. Maybe Planetary Defense Forces.
>>336358778
WE WANT THE ESPORT AUDIENCE
>>336359093
yeah and how many years into DoW1 post-launch development was that?
You can't expect them to launch the game with more than 3 factions
>>336359010
Do they literally go wub wub on the battlefield?
>>336359216
Not titans, but close seconds. Knights.
>>336359216
Warlord level units in the Tabletop. Knight Titans and Wraithknights
>>336359093
Not that guy but to be fair, DoW balance went all over the place with Dark Crusade
This better have Davian Motherfucking Cool in it.

>Reddit audience
This has got me thinking, what's the crowd that actually plays rts games? Aside from koreans, autistic europeans and /v/ who cares about them?
>>336359093
And Soulstorm was utter shit in terms of balance. Vanilla DoW and Winter Assault were playable in multi, Dark Crusade was already broken beyond salvation. Race beggars need to leave.

PLEDGE YOUR ALLIEGENCE TO CHAOS
LOYAL ARE GRANTED GIFTS OF THE DARK GODSand chaos dlc
The trailer got me pretty hyped but the screenshots showing the visual side of the game just makes me feel uneasy about looking forward to this not to mention there was no game play or voice acting in that has been shown and those two factors are what will make or break this game for me. This has got to be the most flaccid reveal for a video game ever.
>>336359381
Soulstorm's post-patch balance isn't bad. A good player can shit all over their competition with any race. 90% of those good players might favor the Space Marines over other factions but they're all at least viable.
>>336359159
he might need the basic knowledge, like the imperium follows the emperor whom they believe is a god. Chaos are like them but traitors. The Chaos gods are Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch and Slaanesh. Representing rage, plague, magic/change and excess.
orkz are spess hooligans who just wanna fight. Eldar are spess elves. That kind of thing.
>>336359449
Even if I don't get this thing right away I think I might need to get in on this. A free Elite Unit down the line or something like that sounds like a cool deal for a couple of pointless emails.

Dude plz
It's a well known fact that starcraft is a rip-off of 40k. I think they had the IP rights for a while, then lost them and had to rebrand it.
>Basebuilding is back.
God fucking dammit, no. Unless they actually do something new, and interesting with that shit, that actually fits the lore and factions, I'm gonna be pissed. DoW 1 basebuilding style is shite.
What I want, is a game where any would be basebuilding mechanics, would actually fit the given faction. So in this case, with only Eldar, Spesh Muhreens and Orks, the Orks would get basebuilding shit like factories that churn out tanks and dredds, fortifications, big stationary guns etc.
Eldar and Spesh Muhreens on the other hand, should have something that fits them respectively.
Eldar shouldn't have any fucking basebuilding. They should just summon their shit via webway gates they can open anywhere on the battlefield or something like that, with the bigger units needing bigger gates (that would take longer to open etc).
Spesh Muhreens on the other hand, should largely just drop their stuff on the field via drop pods/ships, and maybe be able to establish some defensive structures.
DoW 1 solution is just fucking boring, and unimaginative. Basebuilding, if it is part of the game, should work in an unique way for each faction. Having every faction build their shit in the same exact way essentially, makes for super boring gameplay.
>>336359448
How about Starcraft is literally Warhammer 40k?
Checkmate
>>336359649
Thats Warcraft, the game was originally meant to be based on WHFB universe. Obviously once Blizzard got away with it once, they thought why the fuck not do the same thing in spaaaace
>>336359448
You realize StarCraft started as a W40k game and WarCraft started as a WFB game, right? Like...literally. Blizzard were making Warhammer games for Games Workshop before the thing fell flat and they repurposed the thing
Space marines got absolutely btfo in this traitor
>>336359657
thats pretty much how DoW I basebuilding for the eldar worked though. the aspect shrine and war factory are just webway gates.
>>336358473
"You can now use your Relic Account to sign in to our community forums, as well as Relic titles like Dawn of War II and Company of Heroes 2."
... but DoW2 is just steam?

>basic sisters units outplaying EVERY game unit in the same category
>basic sisters units costs less
>basic sisters units with unlimited moral and free flamethrowers
>even fucking sisters turrets costs less and do more damage than any other faction defense structures
Yeah, right, so fucking balanced. Even slagrush from the very first vanilla was less of a bullshit. It was hard to control, indeed, but it was atleast real to overcome.
>>336359830
>>336359658
>>336359649
It's still a blatant rip-off. I hope Blizzard fucks GW in the ass for this obvious infringement.
>>336359448
Starcraft is babies first W40K, nig.
>>336360036
weak b8
>>336360036
>>336359657
I wish they'd just change it to calling actual reinforcements, you know like on the tabletop.
So combat scenario results will depend on your strategic skill instead of how fast you can click your mouse.
Tyranids when?
>>336360036
(You)
>>336359657
What would you say to the IG having a base-building FOCUS as their gimmick when they get introduced? For the other factions it could be minimal, but the IG specialize in turrets and artillery and have big factory type setups to churn out tanks and all the rest? I think that Ultimate Apocalypse gets weird in places but feels so right as the IG.
>>336359980
If Sisters were truly that powerful they'd be all anybody played, not a little niche faction that you see maybe 1 in 10 games. They cost less, but early game that isn't enough to give them the numbers they need to really overwhelm unless they're playing well or pull off a particularly bastardly rush. I've been screwed by the SoB pulling the stuff you're talking about but it isn't common.
Whats up with that Dread looking like a fucking turtle in the trailer?

Is it me or does it look a lot like Starcraft 2?
Also 7 years ... 7 YEARS
>>336359968
You don't fucking understand. Mechanically, they were just C&C style factories that churned out units, that you needed to build with a builder unit first, which is completely inaccurate to the lore.
What I want, is for the Eldar to be able to just open webway portals on the map, and request reinforcements from them which would arrive after some time. The portals shouldn't be fixed structures that you have to build, (because the Eldar don't fucking build shit on the battlefield.) instead, they should just be gateways into the webway, that you could use to both request reinforcements, as well as move your forces around.
Not boring as shit factories with fancy animations, like they were in DoW 1 and 2 basically.
>>336360154
That would be acceptable solution as well. In general, I dislike the whole C&C/Starcraft style production bs in 40k, as it makes very little thematic sense for the wast majority of the factions.
>>336360282
IG are one of the few factions to whom DoW 1 style basebuilding sorta fits, lore wise, if it was reeled back a bit.
>>336360036
at least you tried :^)
>>336360618
Thats concept art you twat
>>336360379
>playing edgy shit catered to teenagers
underage please leave. Adults play Imperial Guard.
On a scale of 1 to BLESSED BE THE EMPEROR, how hyped are you?
>>336360618
But maybe with bigger maps
>>336360618
It's probably alpha, and shaders aren't finished.
Maybe they're going back on the graphics department, so they can actually have massive battles without everyones PC's fucking dying.
DoW 2 has small battles simply because it wasn't designed to handle as many as CoH and DoW1.
>>336360685
What are you implying exactly? I'm sorry I don't understand.

>>336360736
Not very, seeing how the article about it made it sound like a step back in most ways.

>>336360847
But this is concept art. Its not even gameplay related.

The closer the third game is to 1 the better.

That shit was the worst part of DoW1. Nobody gave a fuck about these xbox hueg units that did nothing except stomping the ground and making combat longer than it should be.

>>336360736
This coming out along with Total Warhammer? 9-10 hype level.
>>336360847
The stupid thing about saying "it's just a beta" is when it's a month away from release. Relic haven't stated a release date and it's definitely not releasing anytime soon.
I am hopeful that they will actually address to the problems and flaws that we can see at the games current state.

In a regular 1on1 match, the game mode the game was designed around, you never ever came to the point where someone got their titan unit.
It happened in 1% of your matches probably.

Knights was easily the best bit.
When the [DEFF DREAD] killed the space marine, and was killed by the eldar walker, I thought: "Hang on, wait a second, that's not a wraithlord. that's a-..."
And then the knights came along. And I jizzed myself around 5 times in succession.
>>336361157
Big units were ALWAYS fun. In DoW1 they made a 40k battle feel like a fucking battle.
They didn't fit in DoW2, because they moved so dumbass slow and DoW2 wasn't made for huge scale battles. So when they had nurgle demons, land raiders and baneblades all moving at 1mph, it was just a pain in the ass.
Read this http://www.pcgamer.com/dawn-of-war-3-inside-relics-biggest-rts-yet/ because it gives you a good insight.
The fact they're bringing back bases and huge battles again is a dan oudda dan.
>if they make chaos DLC i'm going to flip.
>>336361442
They already crashed it into the ground with DoW2.
3 is their chance for redemption.
>>336361132
those were wraithknights, theyre bigger than dreadnoughts and imperial knights.
>>336356610
Gabriel has a mix of terminator and centurion armor. Can he get more badass?
Relic has a history of being sneaky with factions
Chaos showing up in DoW1
Necrons showing up in Winter Assault
Chaos being the final wave in DoW2 Last Stand
I think that if theres gonna be another secret until release faction it'll be Necrons again, because of the last stand DLC and "Death comes for all"
As for the graphics and commander bullshit i'm waiting on gameplay for a final verdict, until then i'm cautiously optimistic
>>336359313
yes. Ear shattering wubwubs.
>>336354696
I just want to play as the necron and purge all living things
>>336361442
DoW 2 already killed the series.
>>336361615
>The fact they're bringing back bases and huge battles again is a dan oudda dan.
There's always has to be a retard who thinks that WH is about huge numbers and base building.
>>336361203
I think it was a mistake to make their first impression with such unfinished looking visuals though.
>>336361114
The only thing where DoW 1 is superior is in having a bigger scale. Otherwise it is clunky as fuck game, that is pretty inaccurate to 40k universe.
DoW 2 has far better combat, but its' crippled by various retarded mechanics, like the retreat button. Neither are that good games overall.
Unfortunately, from what little info we got, seems like DoW 3 is just regressing, instead of learning from both DoW 1 and DoW 2.
Return to DoW 1 basebuilding is fucking retarded, as is the whole banal hero focus DoW 2 had.
>>336361676
>They already crashed it into the ground with DoW2.
DoW 2's campaign was at least one of, if not the best in the entire series.
They fucked up Retribution, they fucked up CoH 2. I don't expect them to not fuck them up.
looks like shit
>>336361615
Superunits are fucking awful in every RTS they've been in, doubly so if we're just talking about DoW
Just a big fucking waste of time that's only use is generating 'hype' among morons
>>336361729
Nope, that's Horus Heresy era terminator armour.

>>336361756
I won't be surprised if the weapon thing in the campaign is actually some Necron made shit

>>336361971
>talking shit about the DoW1 Baneblade
>>336361854
But base building is the best bit. It's the unique, custom approach to where you set up shop across a massive battlefield.
The fact DoW2 took this away from you, made it impossible to relocate or flank from a forward base.

about a 5, it's good to see a big rts on the horizon and 40k is always cool. but that's about it. The actual game doesn't look impressive yet. I haven't been put off by what I've seen, but I'm not excited either.
Were not 90% of races in DoW 1 and 2 released through DLC?
3 is a fine starting point. If the units / tech rosters are large enough, some well crafted DLC could introduce 3 more and 3 more with a nice story like classic expansion packs.
Chill out, your race will come.
>>336361854
I always felt that DoW 1 more captured the essence of "big ass war boys lets fuck shit up!" while DoW 2 felt more like "Lance down the street is being a nigger lets egg his base with the crew"
>Dow 1 is btter than 2 hurr
Stop being so edgy anon, you're scaring the children.
>>336362129
>bitching about gore in wh40k
>it's in nearly every artwork
>it was in DoW1 cinematic
Go back to /mlp/
40k isn't a happy-go-lucky, clean kill setting.
It's fucking brutal, always has been.
>>336361548
>they don't build tanks in the middle of a fucking warzone
Armageddon says hi.
>>336362095
>it's unique.
Hardly, when all races in DoW 1 basically build the same way.
Also, it barely fits most of the factions, and what makes it especially grating, is the fact that each faction has detailed methods of how they get their shit on the battlefield, that would result in far more interesting gameplay mechanics, that would be truly unique for each faction, than just copying C&C style basebuilding does.
I already ranted about it here, so I won't repeat myself further;

The early screenshots of DoW 2 look pretty close to the final product.
>>336362223
>Were not 90% of races in DoW 1 and 2 released through DLC?
DoW 1 and 2 had stand-alone expansions.
Even then the base games of 1 and 2 had 4 factions.

Hello Armageddon, still an unfun unbalanced clusterfuck I see
>>336362223
I think a bigger issue is that we've all seen how much of a difference the factions add, and how people have a strong preference for certain factions. using the same 3-4 factions over and over gets a bit annoying.
I like the Eldar, but i´d love to see a game with the Sisters of Battle taking a bigger role for example.
>>336359657
>hey should just summon their shit via webway gates they can open anywhere on the battlefield or something like that, with the bigger units needing bigger gates (that would take longer to open etc).
So the Scrin basebuilding from CNC then?
>>336362289
DoW I required a lot less micromanagement, and stationary defenses and fortifications allowed you to much more effectively lock shit down and not require you to move your entire army all over the place constantly.
some people prefer DoW I, some II. that´s fine, theyre very different games. I just hope they return to DoW I more than II.
>>336362476
>Sisters of Battle
Sounds like Soulstorm. I can see it working the same way. Just give it a chance.
>>336361886
Retribution was the best DoWII
If you played the MP.
CoH2 is also great.
I guess what you said wasOPINIONS
>>336362289
This.
DoW1 was THE epic 40k battles, those which would be written in the annals of imperial history.
On in da big green book o' krumpin', which you'd sit around the fire and tell the boyz.
Wheras DoW2 was more like a scouting force bumping into another scouting force, knocking seven shades of shit out of one another before limping back home.
Granted, 40k has both in lore, but the former is far more iconic to the setting, to the artwork, generally 40k all in all is about "bigger is better"
If you're not 8ft tall, you have a mech. if you don't have that, you have a knight. if you don't have that, you have a titan, ranging from warhound to emperor class. If you dont have those, you have entire SM chapters, if you don't have those, you have a battlecruiser, if you don't have those, you have an entire imperial navy fleet. Etc etc.
>>336362445
No you fuck, Armageddon Steel Legion. The foremost armored division of the Imperial Guard. Armageddon got hit with 3 major wars, 1 from chaos and 2 from orks which they still have not cleared away. As a result they get a lot of practice fighting orks in their fuck huge tanks and during the 3rd war for armageddon tanks would roll out of the factory into a warzone.
>>336362602
I'd be happy with a healthy mix of the two.
>>336360807
>Not noticing the Skull throne in the trailer
also
>DoW 2 trailer
>No Orks
>Only a hint that there might be Tyranids
Should I get Soulstorm? I own the other games/expansions. Also, should I get DOW II, if yes which ones and can I pirate the DLC?
>>336362406
>some people will never ever know this feel of stomping 6 vs 6 messy battlefield with a fucking Squiggoth
Multiplayer in vanilla was so fucking rad, holy shit...
>>336362613
im not knocking the faction expansion packs idea, I think it works well. It´d just be nice to start off with some other factions than the usual space marines, chaos, eldar and orkz.
>>336362643
>Retribution was the best DoWII
Well yeah, Ret is obviously superior to DoW 2 but the campaign was shit.
>>336362643

Yes, some race is just dropping them into the pit of despair and that is definitely not the warp where some dark god is going to abuse them for its amusement.
>>336362406
Bloodthirster is the best in the game if you know how to use him right. Can practically solo armies.

However the material released after the trailed detailed the Orks being in the game. The material we have is pretty clean cut.
Looks OK. Weird choice of art style. Genuinely just makes them looks like Terran and Protoss.
