Some gameplay of DoW 3 was released today, with german narration.
Surprise surprise, it looks like utter fucking shite.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyspr4Tkt58
Abandon hope, relic has forsaken us!
Looks pretty bad not gonna lie.
They said that return to basebuilding would be a good thing.
They said that big fights would be coming back.
They said that they would be going back to DoW 1.
it really does look like utter dog shit
Looks a little too fucking bright for me.
Also, the level of detail is very inconsistent wich I don't like either.
Theres still time for them to fix it though so theres that.
>>341017107
looks pretty good to me
>dat base building done right.
>>341017107
that artstyle
>>341017637
I doubt it.
The aesthetic direction, as well as the gameplay itself, seems to be going into completely wrong direction. Simplified to hell and back, dudes just shooting at each other while standing still, hero and super units taking the focus etc.
All they had to do, was to take the combat of DoW 2 along the cover mechanics etc (though scrap the retreat button), and bring back bigger scale, and some basebuilding, for factions to whom it fits, and it would have been fantastic.
Instead, they made something that looks like a chinese moba.
>>341017762
>press button to see a structure fall from spesh.
Wow, so neat, so dept, such fun, wow.
>DoW 3 looks bad
>bfga fucked up in the last patch, status: barely alive
>deathwing becoming vaporware
HOPE IS THE FIRST STEP ON THE ROAD TO DISSAPOINTMENT.
>>341018058
Curiously, EC is actually looking somewhat decent these days.
Might there still be hope?
no cover system
I like the way it looks, it's a bit bright, but but brightness is hardly an issue. The animations on the knight and the dreadnaughts are great.
>>341018264
No, I want it more grim and more dark. I hate this bloom shit.
>Gabriel Angelos isn't voiced by Paul Dobson
This fact alone proves that the game will be shit.
>>341017107
that looks good cuckpai. It seems you have unredeemably bad taste. Try a different hobby than warhammer and vidya maybe
>>341018230
lel fuck no
Melee is still a mess, game is still unoptimized as fuck
dead on arrival
>>341018526
What I meant was that the brightness can be turned down, that's basically always an option. The colors are fine, the tabletop models are basically the same.
The artstyle looks fucking awful
>>341017107
why is uther killing elder?
He didn't really say anything of interest. About base building: It seems like their purpose is only producing units, but not something the enemy has to throw his troops against its defenses.
>>341017953
>DoW 2 along the cover mechanics
>>341018236
>no cover system
/v/ once again confirmed as filthy casuals once again. The cover mechanic was the single most despised thing in DoW2 it basically made ranged units super shit because they spent half the time humping cover instead of shooting.
>>341018668
>thinking that the cartoony crap in the vid in op looks good
>accusing others of bad taste.
Not to mention the gameplay itself looks like crap. No cover system, units just stand there shooting each other like frigin statues, while the "awesome" hero and super unis stomp trough shit.
It looks like casualized garbage.
>>341017107
>The "muh basebulding" and "muh big meat grinders" memes will create a game with simplistic and spamy combat
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
My knowledge of the 40k comes mostly from games so tell me:
what are the mech units there? certainly not dreadnoughts, I think I heard "Titan" somewhere in the vid, but I thought those things were supposed to be BigMACFuckingHuge?
>>341018894
The cover system of dow 2 was better than the "stand in this crater to get a toughness buff" shit DoW 1 had. Seems like DOW 3 won't even have that.
Also, funny how you call DoW 2's cover "casual" when it was far more complex than cover systems are in most rts games, if they have them at all.
>>341019051
DoW1 did it right.
>>341019104
It is an imperial knight. Mini titan basically.

>>341018230
Eternal Failure. There is still hope for other games but EC is the only one that completely failed because of its development hell and the shitty dev team behind it. No matter how many streams they make how "open" they are, they are amateurs that cant handle this game.
>>341019104
There are dreadnaughts and a knight (google it) in the video.
>>341017953
>press button to see a structure fall from spesh.
Thats how stuff works in Warhammer and it's way better than le gook clicking shit.
>>341017107
Knights deep strike? I always thought they were bought in via dedicated transports. Or did they just think Titanfall was super cool and figured so did the audience.
>>341019104
The big mech you see stamping around is barely a titan, it's the smallest one out there.
>no more cover mechanic
Why?
>>341018894
>>341018894
>The cover mechanic was the single most despised thing in DoW2
By casual retards maybe
It allowed for better distinction between melee and ranged plus terrain became an important factor during advances.
The artstyle looks shit.
Other than that, I don't hate it too much
>>341019238
>Thats how stuff works in Warhammer
No, that's how stuff works in DOW1
Nowhere else, do Space Marines drop fucking cathedrals from space to the battlefield. Space Marines don't even fucking build shit on he battlefield. They are shock troops that arrive via drop pods or thunderhawks straight into combat.
>>341019114
I wasn't calling cover casual I was calling /v/ casual for trying to earn epoints on an anonymous image board by parroting bullshit they clearly know nothing about.
Dow's cover was pointless, DoW's 2 cover negatively impacted the game and was the number one feature people who actually played it wanted removed because having your techmarine hump a rock while hormies eat your tac marines isn't deep or anti-casual or fun it's just shit.
>>341017107
wait what? the knight is deployed like a drop pod..is this canon with the universe? i thought they would have transport ships like titans just on a smaller scale
>>341019238
Space Marines don't build giant bases to operate from. They're strike teams.
I don't understand why everyone is so obsessed with base building in Warhammer. Yeah, DoW2 wasn't perfect in that regard but it was miles better than DoW1.
>>341019468
They deploy everything that way in the DoW games.
>>341018894
>/v/ once again confirmed as filthy casuals once again. The cover mechanic was the single most despised thing in DoW2 it basically made ranged units super shit because they spent half the time humping cover instead of shooting.
stop being shit
Looks perfectly fine to me, but keep bitching
>>341019269
Because "Muh DoW 1, everything DoW 2 did was shit because no basebuilding" retards.
This is what they wanted.
>>341019445
That just meant that the ai of the units in regards to the cover needed to be improved, not that the cover system itself should be removed.
>>341019468
Lorewise, they are deployed via grav chutes which are basically some sort of anti gravity lifts.
![EYE_Divine_Cybermancy_Background_Family[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/mImkuqL.jpg "EYE_Divine_Cybermancy_Background_Family[1].jpg")
The gunfire looks like a sparkly clusterfuck in the video, but maybe not so bad in the real thing. Sure looks like DoW1, even down to the "shoot hundreds of bullets from huge mech autocannons and barely reduce healthbars of enemy infantry" bit. If you truly think this video looks 'utter fucking shite' go back and play DoW1. It really WAS 'pretty shite' at best.
If you're totally patootie-plastered over this teaser, and also hate the ARPG (looks pretty bad at following the 40k combat tone imo) at least there is still the Streum On Studio FPS to look forward to. There hasn't been any recent news of it has there?
>that animation style and overall graphics
It says that it's just pre-alpha, but what the hell
it looks like a crappy ASSFAGGOTS game
>>341019147
No it didn't.
Creators knew this and that is why DoW2 came to be.
I love DoW, but compared to the sequel the combat was only spectacle.
>>341019487
>Yeah, DoW2 wasn't perfect in that regard but it was miles better than DoW1.
pretty much this base building mechanics suck dick nobody outside a few SC autist want this shit.
It looks so fucking simplistic. And the shockwaves from the Space Marines landing with their jump packs look awful.
In fact, every effect looks awful. What the fuck happened?
>>341019445
The fuck are you talking about? Especially early on cover was immensely useful and decided skirmishes because you were lacking the necessary units to destroy it and it required tactical counterplay and flanking to get past strong ranged units who were already in place waiting for you. Nobody except maybe asspained DoW1 players fucking complained about having your units stand still while firing to recieve a huge defensive boost.
>>341017107
eww it looks like league of legends
stop going for the bright cartoon colours meme
Looks pretty good considering its a year away!
Looks far better in motion than it does in screenshots.
Simpler graphics but with better lighting and some great particles. If they improve and add a lot more animation I'll be pretty happy with it.
>>341017107
Teetering between cautious optimism and irredeemable mess. Fuck me that artstyle is awful, it just makes everything look way too sterile.
>>341019529
>>341019289
>>341019230
Can a single one of you shitposters actually tell me the player implemented 'fix' that made cover kind of work in DoW2 and chaos rising before relic 'fixed' it in retribution.
The answer is no because none of you have played the game you're just parroting a 'popular' opinion to earn epoints and a Tehranian hair waxing board.
>>341017107
That Gabriel Angelos's retarded cartoonish running animation...
>>341017107
I know the cartoony aesthetics is a major buzz these days, but who the fuck would ever greenlight this? It looks so fucking cheap, almost something you would put on aconsole.
>>341019812
looks like a fucking moba and hes smash animation
>>341019793
>>341017107
Of course it's shit. Since when you can leap in Terminator Armor? In Cathapractii Armor to boot?
>>341019762
40k is full of bright colours.
>>341017107
All i want is a new version of dark crusade. relic why must you make DoW 2 again...
>wasted the last 3 years shitting on DoW2 and Retribution
>they listen to them and go back to DoW1 style
>wow why isn't this like DoW 2
it's true that developers should just ignore fan input
>>341019590
>Because "Muh DoW 1, everything DoW 2 did was shit because no basebuilding" retards.
There was cover mechanics in DOW1 idiot.
it's just pre-alphait will look better a full realease right ;_;
You fuckers will all buy it anyway, so shut up
>>341020041
Why? It looks like it will be a free-to-play moba game.
>I want DoW 3 to have basebuilding and big battles.
without a cover system this game looks like a Star Craft addon
>>341020006
Yeah, the "stand in a crater and receive a buff variety" which barely even counts when compared to DoW 2, who actually had directional cover.
>>341020041
The hell I will.
It looks like utter shit, and a step backwards from both DoW 1 and 2 in pretty much every way.
Why would I pay money for it?
>>341019976
t. havent checked the art for the last 15 years
>cartoony aesthetics
Into the shitter it goes. What a shame.
At least that 40k survival shooter looks decent.
looks pretty good desu, wasn't as bad as I was imagining
>>341019234
Why couldn't they just outright copy warhammer space marines movement shooting and melee systems, and put it in an MP environment, that's all they needed to do really, but no instead they want to be all original and act smart when they are clearly now.
>dow 3 looks like a fucking moba
Top kek. This is what you "muh basebuilding" fags wanted. You brought this to yourselves.
>>341017107
OK, apart from Gabe's ridiculous stunts in his new Termie Armour, the game doesn't look bad.
Also is the Knight Titan pilot a girl?
>>341020334
Biel-tan are still paint their vehicles ivy green with matching thorn vine patterns, their guardians are still stark white, the Smurfs are still ultramarine blue which is a very vibrant pigment. The setting is GrimDark, the armies, not so much.
>we want base building back
>actually no, we hate it
Looks like a Starcraft 2 mod.
>>341020408
That's exactly what they did though. They just added stuff atop of it. EC combat works fundementally the same as Space Marine does. The only thing where there are major differences is in the way melee works, as Space Marine was more about timing and chaining combos, whereas EC has a sort of rock, paper, scissors counter system based on fast and strong attacks, and defensive bashes.
>people complain about cartoon graphics in a game based on tabletop toy soldier painting hobby
kek
>>341020632
Correction. It actually looks better than SCII.
How normal it is for a chapter master to be leading the battle on the front lines in wh40k? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to let one of the commanders do the work and concentrate on the chapter's internal work?
>>341020670
Not only that, everyone seems to forget that DoWIII was supposed to be a homage to the tabletop in terms of looks.
The devs said that the units looking like the tabletop models are done so on purpose.

>>341020534
>the Smurfs are still ultramarine blue which is a very vibrant pigment.
>>341020534
You can have bright colors, without looking like pastel colored cartoons.
>It's literally reusing assets from DoW2 the drop pod being a prime example
>OMG CARTOONY GRAFIX ITS JUST SC2
What? Like do people just read what they write or do they just meme?
>>341020632
but Starcraft 2 is shit mate.

>>341020807
I think it looks fine, just some iffy animations
>>341020790
That's a poor excuse.
Compare picture related to this>>341020827
Notice the difference?
>>341020807
>>341020827
Check out the official models on GWs home page. They're not murky dark washed bullshit. They're vivid.
>>341019051
>doesnt do base building or mass fighting well
>LOL I TOLD U DOW2 WAS BESTUS
Yeah, no.
>>341020645
Awh man it looks so bad.
I feel bad for the developers who have to keep working on this pile of shit.
>>341020909
Just checking you posted that as a response so you believe this picture is neither virbrant or cartoony?
>>341020728
From the scouts to the chapter master every marine is a grunt first. They are not the kind of leaders who just keep behind a desk. That would be a wasting of a space marine.
>>341020728
A Chapter Master leads a chapter directly when shit is serious or when the Chapter is rebuilding.
In the case of the BRs, after the events of SS and the whole DoWII line, Gabe now personally is rebuilding the chapter back to full strength.
>>341020827
I really like the current Fire Prism model.
>>341020936
Yeah. No ivy and thorns. Also no shading. Maybe they'll add the latter later.
>>341017107
Are they still using that god awful and clunky engine that they've used ever since the first CoH?
>Knight walking through drop pod destroys them
Nice touch
>>341021003
>Awh man it looks so bad.
How so?
It is basically space marine, but with more stuff in it combat wise.
Of course, being still in development, it's graphics aren't that good.
>uses Gatling spray ability
>its just 1 small line of bullet trails
>doesnt knock anything back
>doesnt kill anything
Yup. Its DoA.
>>341020907
that's the point, my man.
I kinda like it
i think it looks good. i'm so desperate for a good RTS that i'm willing to close my eyes on that art style
>>341017107
hmm looks like shit
>>341021179
It's just the general movement and especially the melee combat.
Now I never really played much of Space Marines multiplayer because it was more or less dead when I got it so I can't comment on that.
>>341021190
It's not out for another year. They call in an orbital strike right after and I love the detail of the individual units getting sucked up and turned to atoms
>>341021267
>>341021221
I think it looks fine, the space marine run animation is a bit odd
>>341017107
It's pre-alpha.
Give it time anon.... give it time...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVnJH2scIVk
I don't like the artstyle, but the battles are indeed "more readable"
DoW2 fights would often turn into complete clusterfucks because of shit flying everywhere.
>>341021320
The melee stuff is still being worked on by the devs. They tweak that shit almost weekly. But combat wise, EC is almost completely like Space Marine, but with more stuff in it. Like for example, you are far more mobile in EC, as you can just vault over obstacles while you run, whereas in Space Marine, a chest high wall would stop you dead on your tracks.
>>341020461
Nigga what, DoW2 is the most moba like DoW by far
Hell, the issue with DoW3 is that its neither DoW1 or DoW2, its some sort of abomination trying to combine both and failing at both.
>>341021437
Not that anon, but how long?
>>341021460
Agreed here. You can see where and what is hitting or being hit.
>>341020645
>That's exactly what they did though. They just added stuff atop of it. EC combat works fundementally the same as Space Marine does. The only thing where there are major differences is in the way melee works, as Space Marine was more about timing and chaining combos, whereas EC has a sort of rock, paper, scissors counter system based on fast and strong attacks, and defensive bashes.
Then why is the movement so lethargic?
Could've been worse but now all I care about is if there will be a playable Alpha or what the gameplay with Orks will look like.
>>341021554
The only real thing is taking from DOW2 is the loot system for the campaign
>units still pretty tough
nice, maybe dow2 gimmicks are still gona be around
>>341021554
>the game has commanders/heroes and doesn't have basebuilding, therefore it's a moba
This meme hasn't been spicy for a long time, anon.
>>341020985
>>341020534
I-I just don't know anymore
g-gonna be patient and keep my hopes up...
Looks good.
Stop being an ultra negative faggot.
GUYS, NOTICE THIS JUMP. MORALE?
>>341017107
Everything looks great and fun
Stop being contrarian faggots, be grateful that you are getting a sequel to this series.
Stop spitting on the fucking plate because you are Slaneesh-tier jaded losers who can't find pleasure or fun even in things like a fucking chainaxe being shoved up your asses anymore.

DoW2 is the closest to a moba
![99120101086_BaalPredatorNEW_02[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/1mCqrnk.jpg "99120101086_BaalPredatorNEW_02[1].jpg")
>>341020985
>>341021554
>DoW 2
>moba
I'll never get this meme.
In DoW 2, all of your units are crucially important, and your hero character is basically just an unit among the rest, with his own role to fullfill, be that of a tank, a support unit, or a harasser.
DoW 2 demands that you have good control of your whole army, and use their abilities well, because losing units is a far bigger blow to you than it is in DoW 1.
Mobas just have a single, uber powered hero, and a bunch of cannon fodder minions that you can't even control. DoW 2 plays nothing like a moba.
>>341019652
To be fair, that's sort of the point of RTS. Most games that decide not to focus on the spectacle of it go 4X or Grand Strategy.
Hell the entire reason Total War is so popular is because the battles are huge and a shitload of fun to watch.
>>341021739
This Tbh. I can understand not liking the art style a bit, but I ike it and the gameplay looks better than DOW2
>>341021765
Learn to read
>>341021627
It was said that DoWIII will be mostly DoW, but with some elements from DoWII.
>>341021731
YAY. Morale is back.
Ready forSQUAD BROKEN?
>its a moba inspired game
>>341021582
Probably because the game is still work in progress?
The Eldar were literally added to the early access last friday. They are still very much unfinished. The devs have already confirmed that the Eldar will be moving far faster in the future.
>>341021762
That looks pretty similar to the red color in DOW 3
anyone who thinks it looks cartoony or too bright has never played the tabletop
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY GRITTINESS?
>>341021874
wich is why I picked it, only the tank is battle damaged and looks less plastic than those toy marines in dow 3
REPAY THEM WITH HATRED
>>341021745
Confirmed for never playing DoW 2.
DoW 1 units were far more fodder like than in DoW 2. Unit control and keeping them alive is crucial in DoW 2.
>it looks worse than 12 years old game
But muh pre-alpha omega beta theta demo version not for public eyes, right? Totally gonna look completely different in one year, right?
Eh, dunno what i was expecting after the second one. At least deathwing still looks somewhat promising.
>>341021918
Yeah, tabletop is much more gritty
>>341019864
You mean on aphone
>>341017583
No they said it was both, you're retarded
>>341021745
>massive focus on hero units with multiple abilities and buyable items
DoW1 also featured wargear you could but and a focus on your commander, it was just restricted to the campaign and had very little depth.
>other units are just fodder
This just flat-out wrong. Look at any videos of high level DoW2 play and this is patently false.
>rock/paper/scissors system, unlike DoW1 which was entirely just highest DPS wins to the point where bullets could penetrate tanks
Another total over-simplification that's indicative of someone who never passed the '3v3 pls no rush high res annihilate' phase of his playing career in DoW2
>>341021918
There's a difference between the tabletop and video games. In the tabletop they need bright colors because a lot of the models are so small and need to stand out more since there's no movement.
A video game doesn't have that problem and can safely get away with using more muted and realistic colors.
>>341020985
This still doesn't look like pastel colored cartoon.
>>341022064
>>341022057
The art style won't change but the textures/effects/etc will probably be improved. They JUST revealed this game a few weeks ago
>>341021860
You're an uninspired shit eater.
You think that looks bad? Have a look at this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nitWhOp1pgE It's so bad it looks fan made.
>>341017107
Is nobody else bothered by the space marine doing fucking back flips with that hammer and generally jumping all over the place like in some fucking anime?
>>341017440
>>341017107
Are you stupid and retarded or both? It clearly says pre-alpha, and I think it looks pretty good

>>341022064
nice cherry picked image, that's not at all how the tabletop units are supposed to look.
>>341021918
One quick look at dakkadakka and the most common theme is battle worn and rusted miniatures
>>341022142
>>341022198
No they all should look like this.
Thick layers of clear defined paint ofcurse
>>341021579
I'd say give it till the beta. If they haven't responded to community feedback by then well...
>>341021731
The yellow bar looks like weapons packing up and light blue one indeed looks like morale.
That seems to be a squad of dire avengers with starcannons maybe?
I'm also intrigued about the energy and arrow icons
>>341022170
That's how space marines move you dummy.
>>341022198
Tabletop units are supposed to look like the way the person who paints them wants them to look like senpai.
>>341022193
Dumb nigger. It's footage they purposely chose to reveal in order to advertise the game and get people's impression of it.
If we're not supposed to judge it then they shouldn't fucking reveal it.
>>341022298
DoW 3 Marines
Looks like trash. Wow.
looks pretty bad
i wish they had a marketing team that had their shit together and got us semi complete footage
i want dakka
>>341022168
That trailer is crap, but it doesn't really showcase any gameplay outside of few second clips.
The vid in the Op shows gameplay and it looks horrid.
>>341022476
PC gaming show will show the entire mission uncut today
>>341021745
you have no idea what you are talking about
In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, there is only no grim, or darkness, just shitty blizzard tier cartoons.
>>341022458
The trailer for the game looks like it is for a completely unrelated game.
Why couldn't we get a game with this art style instead?
DoW 1 and 2 had trailers that matched the artsyles of the games.

>>341021918
Just because you, your friends and the people at your local are all shit at painting it doesn't mean it's ok for this game to look shit too.
Properly painted models look amazing and are all through the thread, the typical grognard slathers vivid neon colours on their shit though and doesn't know how to wash and weather let alone mix colours.
What are you guys hating exactly other than the art style and mad DoW2 kids missing their RTT shit? Looks fine to me
>>341019623
Why is it so cartoony? Everything from animations to design.
>>341022692
That is literally all it is. Every thread for an entire year will be this. Just stop browsing, serious
Its not even the fucking units, its the fucking ground. They're literally standing on blue WoW undead shit
>>341022056
>>341022592
>u neva played it u have no idea
Played both more than you both combined. But shitpost away with no valid argument, you just proved my point.
>>341022692
The gameplay looks like simplified shit, where your units only serve as back up dancers for your "TOTALLY AWESOME" Hero and Super units.

Maybe they'll make the graphics dirtier.
Then again, when it comes to modelling it is the player's decision on how his dudes should look.
Want clean looking models? No problem.
Want to add some dirt to them? No problem.
Don't want them to look clean and instead look like they were gobbled by the warp, spit out, and survived everything the galaxy threw at them and laughed it off? No problem.
And the models in the game look like standard ones made by GW.
>>341017107
Wow that looks awful, even starcraft 2 from 6 years ago looks better
Rip
>>341022645
Because now game cutscenes are like movies, I don't think the games art is bad, even tho it's not like in the trailers it looks pretty good

You realise that picture supports my statement, right? Despite it being artwork from 3 decades ago.

The blowout from DoW3 being a sequal to 1 and not 2 is going to be felt for a very long time. Dow2 fags are going to be shitposting these threads as much as possible.
3 looks good. Cant wait to play it.

Uh ,yeah? What?
It's okay, guys. Elite Mod will still welcome you with open arms after DoW3 drops 'n' flops.

Considering 40k is a mini universe gone horribly wrong in a crystal ball in Warhammer Fantasy? Yeah, it's not that serious.
But it works pretty well. The Ciaphas Cain novels are pretty good.

Other way around mate. Also, Warhammer fantasy doesn't exist anymore.
>There are people in this thread, that are actually, unironically defending the absolute abysmal shit graphics of this shit looking game
At this point I have to believe you are trolling, especially when the only counter argument you have is that the tabletop game looks similar to the graphics we're seeing here. What kind of fucking argument is that? Everybody paints their models differently, or are you referring to the shitty box art which doesn't look a single thing like any of this?
Look at the graphical direction of dawn of war 2, and tell me they weren't going in the right direction with that. Now look at where we're going with this steaming stinking pile of shit. The only justifiable excuse they had was that they were sacrificing graphics for gameplay and bigger battles, which both look shit as well now.
As a big 40k fan with over 1k hours played in both games I really don't want this game to suck, I've been waiting years constantly googling dawn of war 3 hoping to hear something. But there is no denying this game looks like an absolute turd right now in every aspect.
Does anyone on /v/ actually like DoW for more than just compstomping
>>341023212
No, my main gripe is with how the gameplay looks completely fucking shallow. Wow, your hero unit and super awesome big mech stomps trough shit, while you call super awesome powers from space.
Meanwhile, the rest of your army just sorta stands there, out in the open, shooting at the enemy/occasionally doing some abilities, while the enemy army just stands there and takes it.
It looks fucking boring. There seems to be no flanking, no cover system, no actual tactics. Just a move your dudes and watch as your hero and super units stomp shit dead.

I meant the gameplay, not the graphics. Though, while aged, DoW 1's artsyle is far more pleasing to my eyes than DoW 3, mostly because DoW 1 doesn't look like a fucking cartoon.
>>341023549
>Just a move your dudes and watch as your hero and super units stomp shit dead.
Sounds just like the tabletop.
>>341023485
We can't judge gameplay unless they show the actual gameplay. Watching a couple of units shooting at each other with no frame of reference isn't going to provide anything.
>>341023685
PC gamer show I think today has this unedited and with devs commentary and QnA
>>341023535
You mean aside from voice acting, faction and unit variety, the fast gameplay?
>>341023594
Probably far more, unfortunately I don't go counting every hour I've spent painting up the models and playing the tabletop with my mates. Were you really hoping to discredit my opinion with a shitty question like that?
>>341023632
You gotta be joking, right? Even the fucking voice acting was horrible, as much as I love itSPESS MAHRENESS
>>341023604
>The cover system is like DOW1's
no it's not
German narration says there won't be cover in DOW3 to force you to advance
>>341023632
>>341023352
DoW1 Still looks really frakking even though it's 12 years old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVnJH2scIVk
>>341023604
And it was fucking shit.
DoW 2's directional cover system was way better, because it encouraged flanking, and using your units to flush people out of cover.
In DoW 1, flanking was not possible because the defense bonus applied to shots coming from every direction, equally.
>>341022347
The energy (white bar) are shields. You see their life starts dropping only after the white bar is depleted
>>341023485
From what I can discern from the video
>massive focus on your commander and superunits spamming AoE attacks/abilities
>no discernible in-depth cover system/a more improved system from DoW2
>regular infantry blobbed up providing walls of fire with no focus on micro, just another clusterfuck meatgrinder like we're used to seeing in DoW1 teamgames
>the basebuilding is as barebones as it's ever been, the game doesn't even have fucking builders, the buildings just drop out of the sky and build themselves
And then we have the obvious non-gameplay complaints, like Angelos' voice actor being different (could just be a placeholder) and the sad state of affairs with the overall artstyle.
>>341023718
Sweet. Gonna check that out then.
>>341023790
But there is cover. The eldar were in cover structures
>>341023730
Don't forget the memes
>>341023842
>DoW 2's directional cover system was way better
Really glad retards like you arent in charge of the new game.
i don't really like it. i guess the graphics do their part for gameplay, even though i'd rather have dow2 style.
but that gameplay, jesus. also i really don't get how can terminators do backflips and shit

>"Das Herzstück von Dawn of War 3 sollen schließlich die großen Schlachten werden. Damit die auch dynamischer ablaufen werden als etwa bei Company of Heroes 2 verzichten die Entwickler in Teil 3 auf ein Deckungssystem".
Huge battles are meant to be the heart of Dawn of War 3. To make them more dynamic than they were in for example Company of Heroes 2 the developers forego a cover system
>>341024062
Nice argument faggot.
In DoW 2, cover actually made the gameplay more dynamic, as buff to their defenses was pretty significant, but only for shots coming from a certain direction, which encouraged flanking tactics, and generally kept the pace of the game going, because if someone just stuck to cover forever, they would be flanked.
In DoW 1, you could just sit your dudes in a crater and enjoy a universal defense buff as long as they sat heir asses there.
Why Blood Ravens again?
After last game don't they have less men than chapters like the Flesh Tearers?
>>341024062
Prepare for an eternal shitpost war heretic
>>341024230
You're arguing against a PC gamer article that came out the day of reveal
>Cover in the demo I saw consisted of circular barricade structures that units can capture. Units in cover are resistant to ranged fire, but can be quickly eliminated by close-combat squads.
>>341024279
They could probably skip a few years
i guess idk wtf im talking about because i watched it and thought "looks like dawn of war"
>>341024279
Blood Ravens are pretty much Relic Marines now, also i like the whole story arch they've built

So they can write their own fluff without having neckbeards scream about lore rape.

>defending one of the worst aspects of daw 2
What the fuck makes you think you need cover mechanic to flank? daw 2 introduced a mechanic it didnt need, which needlessly slows down the game. Its not my fault that youre so bad at the game that you need to bank on a cover system.
Just compare the likes of Total War Atilla to Company of Heroes 2. Total war is an infinitely more exciting game because its just all out war, not your boring campy bullshit.
>>341024585
>Narrated
PC gamer got exclusive first dibs on DOW3 from Relic/Sega and are a much bigger magazine. You are false. What exactly do you think the buildings were then?
