Whats up with the sudden Warhammer flux of games hitting around the same time? The hype level for Warhammer games is almost palpable.
General Warhammer game thread
>>336382056
You forgot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2TvGQ6TzjQ.
Yeah, its hard to keep up atm.
>>336382056
I hope the Felled Auras are playable.
>>336382189
See even that one too. There was almost no Warhammer games now suddenly there's a ton to keep track of. Its like everyone had the same idea to release around the same time
>>336382056
I know this is not the post about it, but fuck me, I had the fun of my life in Warhammer Online. :(
>>336382056
Warhammer Fantasy is just Tolkien with a worse aesthetic. Fuck that whole ip for spawning the abominable art style that permeates every fucking fantasy property.
>>336382469
There's a private server some people have been managing for that. Look up Warhammer online return of reckoning.
>>336382435
About a year or so ago Games Workshop switched from 'We license to one studio to make our games' to 'We license to everyone who is interested'
>>336382519
Please take your shit opinion and shove it up your ass. Warhammer Fantasy has very little to do with Tolkien aside from having Humans, Orcs, Dwarves and Elves.
Why couldn't this be a Telltale-style narrative adventure game with an original Eisenhorn adventure? It makes sooo much more sense to do that instead of being a third-person action game (on the iPad, no less) that also tries to follow the story from the books which use action scenes in moderation.
>>336382650
>has very little to do with Tolkien
Non-tabletop faggot detected.
>>336382823
>says the guy that thinks Warhammer Fantasy is a Tolkein reskin
>>336382435
Since THQ went down they've been giving the licence to anyone that wants it.
>>336382056
>Whats up with the sudden Warhammer flux of games
GW feels the hot breath of 3d printers good enough to cheaply replicate their plastic soldiers coming in a few years and are branching out to minimize the losses.
>>336382469
Whatever happened to that? I remember that it was touting to be one of the pvp only mmo games then suddenly it dropped off the face of the earth.
>>336382519
Nah Warhammer proper has its own fun stuff
>>336382435
More like GW is passing around the IP like candy on Halloween because they finally realized that it's easier to sell overpriced plastic models if you hook the nerds with videogames first. Then eventually they'll move up to buying the $140 Imperial Knight models.
>>336382695
Because the setting is about a perpetual state of war between various imperialistic factions with overdesigned equipment and impractical battle tactics. It is not, under any circumstance, designed for meaningful or complex narratives. It's a property whose purpose is to sell complicated and expensive models for a tabletop wargame.
Good 40k stories are a rarity, and setting out to make one would be a gamble which would not play to the franchise's strengths.
>>336382519
WH drinks more from Robert E Howard that it does from Tolkien.
>>336382056
>Whats up with the sudden Warhammer flux of games hitting around the same time
Games workshop stock went to shit two years ago and since then they've been trying to compensate as hard as they can. Lots of licenses were sold so we've got Space hulk, deathwing, vermintide, mordheim and such being reanimated. Those licenses were completely dead until recently.
>>336383242
>Because the setting is about a perpetual state of war between various imperialistic factions with overdesigned equipment and impractical battle tactics
That's not the setting or theme of Eisenhorn, though...
>yfw year of warhammer
>>336383505
How much you want to bet Gorkamorka and Necromunda come back too?

What's with the mountain of bodies?
im gonna purge so many fuccn xenos
I feel the Emperor's blessing return!
>>336382519
Fucking idiot, warhammer fantasy is one of the best fantasy aesthetics ever and is no where near as Tolkien as a vast majority of fantasy.
>>336383543
Who else found this to be absolutely retarded.
>>336383543
This is so accurate.
>emperor explodes into orks
what did they mean by this?
>>336384096
>space marine smiles as a wraithknight is about to crush him
What did he mean by this?
>>336383976
>Best fantasy aesthetics
Then why don't you find a picture of something without a myriad of extraneous details and trims?
Or are you the type of easily entertained faggot who loves ceremonial armour being depicted as practical?
>>336384096
To stand against the Ork tides is to worship the Emperor, brother.
>>336384168
Only in death does duty end.
>trumpet kicks in
Dont care if theyre the most underpowered faction in any rts ever. I want Imperial Guard
If you want a super balanced rts go play starcraft or something
>>336384243
Its high fantasy numb nuts, elites have to look fantastical or its pointless.
>>336384268
>Only in death does duty end
???
>>336383976
Only a gas-huffing WoWdrone would think that armour looks good.
Tell me, is this visually appealing to you? Do you enjoy pointless creases and grooves with details upon details?
>>336383713
>When the predictions hit just right.
>>336384552
are you serious? The knight armor is literally a replica of late holy roman empire.
Are you retarded?
>>336383869
The Skull throne friend
>>336384849
It was a particularly fancy example, most knights look something like pic related
>>336383746
That and overpriced, poor quality models aren't selling like they used to.
>>336384325
Me too but we both know we'll have to wait for the first, or maybe even second expansion for IG. Or Astra Militarum, as they'll probably be called in the game.
At least, they'll get a whole expansion attached to them. Maybe instead, Relic will just give us preorder bonus shit:
>Take comamnd and assemble your battlegroups as the Astra Militarum, onlu 9,99 extra!
>>336384552
man nomura is one of the worst designers ever
>>336385082

vidya games > tabletop autism
except crpgs fuck crpgs
Hey guys what happens if Imperial Guards gain actual survivability for a battle or two
>>336385082
So when will GW finally die?
>>336385094
*At least, they'll get a whole expansion
Personally im hype for deathwing.
Whatever happend to eternal crusade? I cant find anything about it since it released in January.
Is it good?
>>336385323
Once they realize 3D printing will catch up with their already decayed molds.
>>336385094
>>336385450
Fuck me, same mistake twice in a row
*At least, I hope they'll get a whole expansion
>>336384495
They aren't dead
>>336385614
they would have died
>>336383869
My guess is it is some kind of manifestation of the death from the battle in the Warp. Chaos will probably be the fourth faction just like how they revealed Tyranids a few weeks after the initial announcment with DoW2
>>336385663
What if it's actually some C'tan bullshit and the crons are initiating their endgame
Despite their victory in Aurelia, and Inquisitor Adrastia's protests, the Blood Ravens were declared Excommunicate Traitoris. Spurned by the Imperium and hunted by the Inquisition, the Blood Ravens became a Fleet-based Chapter and traveled the stars fighting their own personal war against the enemies of Man. Without their recruiting worlds they were driven to extinction.
However, the unusual amount of psykers birthed by the Chapter's gene-seed was merely a consequence of their inherent psychic abilities. Death would not deter the Blood Ravens from their endless struggle. Now they stalk the great battlefields of the galaxy as wraiths bound to eternal war, for none shall find them wanting.
>>336384013
Sounds like you have some remorse there bud
>>336382056
>>Whats up with the sudden Warhammer flux of games hitting around the same time?
Games Workshop can't break even with selling overpriced figures alone so they whore out their IP. Pretty nice though. I am looking forward to Deathwing.
>>336384096
Maybe they found some artefact linked to Emperors magic? Or Ravens finaly found traces of their primarch, who happens to be heretic.
>>336385750
I thought Blood a Ravens used a dull beige colour, not pure white.
>>336385745
GW would never allow another company to advance the plot of 40k
>>336385889
Probably doesn't help that they spit in the faces of part of their fanbase by killing WHFB to make golden marines
>>336386030
Why are they angry? Did they shit on the lore? In the end, doesn't mankind fall and the forces of chaos, tyranids and orcs just ruin everything until there is nothing?
I hope is a progressive game
>>336386182

Khorne does not care from where the skulls come.

>>336386480
I'm Guard through and through. It's just that if the SM are getting slaughtered like cannon fodder then what hope for the guardsmen?
Called it before, calling it again: IG will forever be the "first expansion faction". It will never be in a vanilla launch;_;
>>336386981
Orks are already in the game, retard. They're the second race to appear in the fucking trailer.
>>336382056
>all these dumbass pricks complaining about only 3 factions being shown
Because Dawn of War launched with more factions than Orks, Space Marines, Eldar and Chaos, right?
For fuck's sakes, people. No-one complains about the fact that you had to pay money for expansion packs, what difference does it make if they make the expansions downloadable or include new factions as DLC?
What fucking difference does it make you goddamn retards.
>>336387396
Not titans
>>336387360
They were Imperial Knights. Basically 1 man Titans.
Also, is that Tau fighting with a Marine in your image?
>>336387660
Dude people are already bitching up a storm and all we have is a trailer, 2 screenshots and a pittance of info
>>336387660
Doesn't bother me at all. I'd rather they have really focused and polished gameplay rather than a clusterfuck of balance because so many factions are in the game.
>>336387702
mini titans
>>336387565
Something's wrong if you're guard and you're NOT expecting guard to get slaughtered even worse than SM
>Gorgutz "Runs Away To Fight Another Day" 'Ead'unter
Why can't we have a capable Ork Warboss for once
>>336387783
>2 screenshots and a pittance of info

>>336387819
Fair enough
>>336387906
Google pc gamer dow 3
Basically we now have hero units, basebuilding dow 1 scale fighrs. and a whole bunch of other cool shit. But the game looks ugly right now, probably to help low end computers play the game
The Eldar look amazing as fuck in the trailer.
Too bad that the ingame graphics seem like shit.
Also, for fuck's sake, DoW 1 style Basebuilding didn't fit the Eldar in DoW 1, it won't fit them in DoW 3 either.
God fucking dammit, the ability to summon forces from the webway at your whim shouldn't be mechanically bloody identical to that of Ork factory spewing out new tanks, like it is in DoW 1.
Basebuilding in general fits only on a fraction of 40k factions anyways. If they implement the same sort of shit DoW 1 had, with every faction having basically the same unit production and base building mechanics, I'm gonna be pissed.
>>336387783
Anyone have said screenshots?
Fewer unit counts than Dawn of War 2! More annoying pinning enemies! Fewer upgrade and customization paths for squads other than Space Muhreens! Fewer playable races! Simpler maps with even less base building! More asinine "balance" patches!
>>336387360
I don't know how I managed to watch the entire thing without remembering it was my birthday until I saw this.
It makes it 100x better
>>336388087
It probably looks ugly so more people can handle more it im perfectly fine with it desu, im not a graphics fag
>>336387726
thats a gue'vasa anon, literally "Human Helper"
Hes with the Tau, not the otherway around
Also those imperial knights looked fucking dope, I guess dreadnoughts would be a lot smaller than that wraithlord thing
>>336388163
Shitposting!
>>336388183
More units*
>>336388087
What the fuck kind of Craftworld are we dealing with, here?
More Gabriel x Macha heresy
>>336382056
That Beksinski-inspired/ripped art.
I'm in love.
>See people bitch about Elite Units.
>Read up on it
>Sounds mostly innocuous and interesting.
>>336388087
>The designers want Dawn of War 3 to be their most accessible RTS yet, and that means making battles easier to read. Laser fire clearly shows where damage is being directed, and effects such as the Assault Marines' superhuman leaps are carefully calibrated to stand out in the busy battlefield. The result is a a visual hierarchy of threat that, Relic hopes, will make huge clashes easier to read.
>In aid of this, some close detail has been sacrificed so Dawn of War 3 can shine in large-scale encounters, and Relic's artists have taken more inspiration from the colourful paint jobs of the tabletop game. It's a step away from the dark doom-laden tone of the fiction, and the game looks fantastic in motion.
>>336388183
Part of the appeal for me is watching the 40k universe in real-time, blowing shit up and bleeding profusely.
Good graphics are part of that appeal, but there will probably be a slew of high-res mods, regardless of how nice or shitty the game looks on release.
>>336384013
It's obviously a surreal dream sequence
>>336388516
This was my take on the whole video.
>>336388516
Is the narrator an Eldar or what?
>>336388471
Sounds good
>>336382189
Looks pretty neat. Hope the engine or whatever they're building for the destructible environments is able to be used by other companies.
Otherwise not too excited.

And last but not least, more ASSFAGGOTS and Warcraft 3 hero survival minigames!
It's more the art style than the graphics as such that sucks.
Is gorgutz back?
>>336388471
A bad excuse to justify making the game look like shite.
Tabletop models look thousand times better than the shit we have seen in the screenshots.
>>336388320
I fucking love Beskinski.
I wish I could have some of his art hanging in my room, but it's probably way too expensive and would give me nightmare's anyway.
>>336388471

Stop posting on things you haven't even touched.
>>336388910
this guy know what hes talking about the DOW 3 models look plastic and flimsy like green army men compared to DOW 2 wear and tear armor with scratched of paint like there armor is made of plasteel and ceramite or eldar boneweave. instead of looking like they have been casted in a plastic not even the profesional painted table models look like that when fully painted just saying i hope ther not going for the whole free to play any body can play it on there toaster and of course people with a toaster will just love the downgrade
The imperial knight looks pretty cool atleast although missing some of that extra detail you would find in DOW 1 and DOW 2
>>336389805

>>336389542

DoW1 has less detailed models and textures, but noisier textures for surface variety. DoW3 has more detailed models and textures, with surface variety being created by normal mapping. That means more detail for less work.
What you're taking offence with is the colour priorities. But those priorities mean a faster read of game elements; for example the shot here >>336388862 makes it clear which player has control of which barrier.
Fuck I want some new maps for Vermintide. Game's super fun but it got old after around 100 hours of running the same maps. The game's practically dead and the devs are taking too long to revive it.
They need to start doing free weekends to help with the player numbers.

Is the tabletop game fairly balanced? If so, why not make it a lot closer to that only real time? Having large armies doesn't seem like a big issue, so why is the game more squad based in 2?

Honestly 3d printers are starting to get pretty good and all you need is a good plastic then you are set.
I'd rather play warhammer shit in a video game setting, the tabletop community is too autistic and there is just a heavy influx of gamer sluts atm. Plus all the new kids are hoping onto this new skub train, sigmar shit.
>>336385750
The Ravens even fucking stole Legion of the Damned's traits?
For those complaining about the models, zoom in on the commander and titan then on other units, the other ones are obviously unfinished and will be improved.
Because Games Workshop finally got the stick out of their ass about having full control of the IP and realized how much of a fucking mint they could make off of video games.
Only took them a decade after the success of DoW1 completely outdid every 40k and Fantasy game before it combined to realize this, but hey, better late than never.

3 maps apparently.
The official announcement should be this week.

>>336389469
Vermintide is pretty average, the quality is really lacking. Compare it to what we've seen of Deathwing and it looks like trash. It's got the quality of Age of Reckoning. Plus I feel like they've put themselves in a bit of a corner lore and gameplay wise. Primarily because it can only really be skaven you fight.
I would love it if they just made it a fantasy warhammer l4d where you can fight orks and be a chaos shitlord. Fuck just give me an updated Age of Reckoning, the universe has so much shit in it. They can't just pigeon-hole it into Empire vs Skaven.

If Games Workshop had a movie made on the 40k universe, what kind of movie would you guys like to see?
I want to see the Horus Heresy.
>>336392720
No.
It is not.
For reference, last edition the wraithknight was a powerful unit in a powerful faction, and it received a lot of hate.
So they buffed its damage, doubled its durability, gave it the ability shot shit out instakilling AoE firepower, and gave it a fuck ton new cool bits, and made it cost like 1/4th more.
As an Eldar player, I am STILL mad I'm lumped in with faggots that bring 3 unpainted wraithknights to the table.
>>336393246

Hopefully they'll do a bit of balancing the weapons as well.

Nah.
After all the bullshit they had to go through they deserve some steam off...and time to rebuild themselves.
>>336393106
Also when you look at the models and compare them to the two previous games...they aren't actually bad.
The smaller models may look off, but models like the Imperial Knights look gorgeously.
Maybe with patches they'll slightly tune it up in the future?
>>336393439
That pic always gets me.
>>336393480
Okay then, how about a GoT-style TV drama?How do you think they'd go about fucking that up?
>>336393246
Its based on the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay nigger. All the characters are from that.
Also skaven are an excellent (and underused) enemy, they've got hordes of small shits to kill but they also have a ton of interesting special units to mix things up. You're an idiot if you think Skaven are a bad enemy to choose.
Also Vermintide has some of the most satisfying melee combat I've ever seen. The heavy weapons have actual impact to them and the skaven ragdolls get sliced and flung in satisfying ways.
Would playing with video settings fix it?
Are they gonna start licensing out loads of Fantasy games as well?

>>336393738
Oh I understand it's part of the fantasy universe but it's part of the whole "wrap up for sigmar" shit. I don't think Skaven are a bad enemy to choose at all, I enjoyed the game. The issue is they sorta locked themselves into one thing by calling it vermintide and not "end times" or some shit then being able to add more diversity as the game goes on.
My primary issue as I said is the lack of polish that I can see in deathwing and no real room to expand. I'd gladly play a vs mode, some new maps and get some more gear but I can only see it going so far. Where as if it was more varied I could even see shit like you doing chaos missions (slaughter a village then fight off the empire while you setup a portal), ork purging as a dorf, like so many options. Fatshark tried to play it safe was my main issue.
Don't hate the game just wanted to see more room to expand and a bit of polish.
What is Battlefleet, how has it stolen Imperial Guard but still got Tau, Space Marine etc. Even though 40k can no longer use Imperial Guard?
>>336392639

The war against the Great Devourer makes for strange bedfellows. Blood Angels and Necrons, for example.
>>336394347
Its a primarily single player game where you play as a Librarian.
When playing the missions in co-op your partners can play different roles like Apothecary or Devastator.
But I don't think there is any RPG elements. At most you'll choose which weapons you use when embarking on missions.

No.
What worries me is that the screenshots make it look like the game is returning to DoW I's 'stand in the open and shoot until the other guy falls down' gameplay. There is absolutely nothing that could be used as cover beyond those weird little wall-circles, which look suspiciously like the "cover" from the first game.
If there was one thing that DoW II did right, it was the cover system. Far, far better than everyone standing in the clear like a bunch of idiots.
>>336394804
It's debated if they have the parts to do so, however it's agreed upon that they have no urge to do so either way.
Unless you're apic related

Partially, they gain a shitload during end times and join the realm of chaos. The entirety of chaos actually takes over and khorne ends up just fighting everyone because chaos wins.
Humans end up hiding in dank little holes or some shit. It's pretty much "the bad ending" of the universe. Then Age of Skub happens and it's pretty much just fantasy 40k but "angels vs demons" on the mortal realms.

Yes, but the babies are not marines and most marines don't have sex drive anymore, it could also be wondered what all that hormone therapy did to their willies.

Not really. They do some shit to teleport Skavenblight into space and fuck up a lot of cities but from a narrative perspective they're fairly unimportant.

>>336394915
Honestly it's not. Few new skeletons and models will create the bulk of an army. Then throw in a few unique units. Like I didn't expect it on release but I can't see Vermintide going far.
I'm not honestly expecting all that much. Like it's sorta clear they can still do it but they haven't marketed it like that. You bought Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide, but you should have bought Warhammer: End Times then the first chapter would have been Chapter 1: Vermintide. I feel like it would actually have hyped everyone up alot more about the game if they were like "Chapter 2 when?!".
>>336395675

agreed, should post in the dawn of war forums, they read it.

>>336396056
>The space marines look fine
There's one screen showing a bunch of them close up facing away from the camera. They really don't look fine, especially the Dreadnought. The Dreadnought is goddamn horrible.
>>336396785
Space Marine did all the weapons a huge disservice
>>336396785
They're just two bolters duct tapped together
>>336396785
>>336396785

>>336396927
>The Dreadnought is goddamn horrible.
Looks fine.
It's a matter of perspective.
Static stuff cannot match to something in move.
>>336397002
A Stormbolter is its own unique weapon that is superior to the old Combi-Bolter it replaced
A Combi-Bolter was just two bolters strapped together. Chaos still uses them
>>336395940
>making AI behavior patterns from scratch, completely new models and animations, not to mention voice acting. Also top it off with the need to design completely new special units for each enemy army. Also need to design maps and spawn points to allow for the new enemies (zombies can't climb walls like rats) and also pathfinding since they can't jump
>this is not asking for much
You are literally unironically asking for then to completely remake the entire goddamn game. Might as well make a new fucking game at that point. Unless you wish for a half-arsed attempt which would just replace skaven models with the new models which would be utter trash.
Think with your brain some time before posting you magnificent retard.
>>336397064
So the Orks can just take abnormally much damage in the game?
Also, any battle against the Ork or Nids would just have giant piles of bodies after minutes, wouldn't it?
>>336397002
No, they behave differently. Chaos has dual bolters instead of Stormbolters (the Stormbolter was invented after they all fucked off into the Eye) and they both have different stats in the tabletop.
>>336397064
And this guy has meme'd himself too hard.
>>336396927
What dreadnought?
>>336397227
>>336397227
That's what Bolters seemed like to me.
A fucking 35mm Cannon shell but with half the bang.
And all the books I remember reading as a kid that's precisely what they came off as sounding akin to to me.

>>336397419
Bolters are basicly rocket launchers
>>336397598
>wanting more than Jeanstealers
Pretty sure the EYE devs only know how to code enemies that run right at you
>>336397419
Space Marine was actually pretty accurate in the visual effects department for the boltgun - a 'normal' bullet impact followed by a little bang a fraction of a second later. The dimensions of the round, and the fact that it's an armour-piercing one, means that there won't be more than a few grams of explosives (10-20 odd) in it. However, that much inside a body will made a very, very big mess.
>>336397598
Maybe in expansion packs. It's fairly common to encounter Orks on Space Hulks as well as The Lost and the Damned. For the base game we'll probably just be seeing Genestealers and Genestealer Hybrids though.
>>336398059
Bullshit, they can also code snipers that hit you from a 3km distance

They scaled back their goals to be more realistic about development. They realized that it's going to take too long to get the open world Planetside-esque battles they wanted so the plan is that it's going to be a post-launch feature. Pic related is what's on the slate for launch, with TEQs following soon after.
>>336398309

>>336397137
haha wow you are salty as fuck I called out vermintide as subpar aren't you?
Everypoint is so hyperbolic, you even included spawn points as a huge deal lol. It isn't asking for much for the game to have been marketed as a continuously developed game, like pretty much every game out atm. All the shit you are pretending is a big deal honestly isn't. 20 dollar episodic expansions to the original 30 dollar game with what is being asked for content wise is extremely reasonable.
It also builds the game assets and the ip substantially, which in turn means the final product is more complete. Then once you have everything released you ship it as GOTY for 80 and make smaller content packs with much more varied assets and a larger world to work with.
The game was cheap as chips and it means they can release more content easily. Honestly they can make another game and slap it on as dlc for 30 dollars I wouldn't care in fact it should have been the idea from the start. Fatshark should have seen this as their big break to be the mainstream war of the roses, but it seems like they pushed something out that is subpar to fulfil a contract.
You also need to accept that being angry at people on the internet won't fix your IRL problems. Learn to engage in healthy dialogue and you won't get cucked so much. (see I can end in pointless ad hominem aswell :^) )

Which is a sorta shit for 40 dollars and the eventual microtransactions. It's also not finished yet and early access is a huge red flag to people atm. When the game is finished and if they set their goals it would ideally go f2p and then it would probably be worth talking about. This is the game they said orks would be f2p but shit right?
So yeah once the game is actually what they wanted, then it will be worth talking about.

One thing is the cinematics never make the Orks the comic relief they are in the lore/games.
Except for Battlefleet gothic armada, they hit that right on the head.
>>336393246
Vermintide was surprisingly good quality at least as good as Left 4 dead which was a much bigger title. Its bizarre the game ever got made seeing as the idea is so niche but they really worked hard and plan to support it with new enemy races and vs modes.

Yes Orks are supposed to be the Free 2 Play option, with basic classes available to those F2Pers and limited access to the Trukk vehicles. You can't play as the Space Marines, Eldar, or Chaos Space Marines without buying the game (or buying character slots via microtransactions.)
Basically what they want to do now is have a persistent map where player battles influence territory control, but those battles will be split into instances rather than fully connected. BHVR's excuse is that the tech they want to implement just isn't quite there yet and they don't expect it to be until after launch.

It was good quality but it lacked "polish" is my main issue and yeah as I said I wanted new enemy races and vs modes, which were a clear idea from the get go. With the whole"you bought Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide, not Warhammer: End Times" issue. Poor marketing or just lack of confidence from them I think, which is a bit sad.
Games Workshop is trying to diversify now 3d printing is going to become a thing and fatshark made war of the roses so that's probably the main reason vermintide got made. I just think they need to be more ambitious, probably hire some more people as well. I don't hate the game at all, in fact I just want more of it.

Everyone bitching is dumb, we are looking at Alpha textures and no filters; which as you literally just showed play a major part in the presentation.
It's a fucking RTS game, the visual aesthetic will always take second place to playability.

>>336401916
Dawn of War II came out n February 2009, anon. It's 7 years old.
>>336401457
They did a livestream today and it was disappointing.
New quest system will come this summer maybe later.
3 maps coming this month supposedly but they didnt say anything about them.
Dodged the questions about new playable characters(since they dont even have a plan about them apparently) and joked about new enemy types.
Did a rigged giveaway too.
I really like the game(played for 200 hours with only 1 achievement remaining) but knowing Fatshark, I really have no hope for the future of the game.
>>336401916
It's the current year you mongoloid.
DOW2 was released in 2009.
>>336402203
Yeah I had my doubts after it was released, it seemed like a game that was setup for continuous development and was just early-access in disguise. The company needs to get some ambition and stop cucking itself.

if it's shitposting, why do you want to know?
>>336402673
Well it was poor phasing but they will be "shit" in that the f2p people can only pick basic dudes and not drive vehicles. So they concept was to have a shitload of orks because it was f2p. The rest of their shit would probably be balanced in the vehicles and more specialised classes, because they're more sparse.
I actually liked the concept when I heard it but the game isn't worth my time yet. Once they make the game they wanted to then I'll play it.
>>336402537

>>336388862
Those rings on the lower right and top left are the new cover system. You stand in them and get defensive bonuses. I believe this is why in the two screenshots there was no texture to the terrain, just flat or elevated.

Agreed, people seem to forget how shit DoW2 looked in alpha
>>336402673
I think the idea is that people who bought the game and stay green get access to the bigger, badder units while F2Pers mostly get Boy of different flavours. Least, that's what I take from it and what I'd do with it. Let people playing free be part of a huge tide of weaker infantry lead by their bosses who are all stompy in Meganob armour.

Warhammer isnt related to Tolkien m8. Check out the Elric books(and others set in the same universe) for some blatant copying.
>>336404251
And you're delusional if you don't think aesthetics aren't important for a game, especially in a franchise based around autistically detailed paintings of miniatures. I mean would Dawn of War been half as successful if every model was replaced with color coded blobs? Yeah probably not.
>>336403819
haha, of course not
>>336404251
Considering I'm staring at the screen for hours upon hours to play the game, I expect it to have at least a decent art style.
Just look at DoW1, it looks gritty and great, even if it has a low polycount and mediocre textures.
>>336404590
>it's not a ripoff because there exists an even more shameless one
okay champ
>there are people who don't think necrons are the legitimate heirs of the universe
Should I play DoW 2 multiplayer if I've never touched it before? I'm assuming everyone is godlike at this point with the game being out so long that I'd just get trashed over and over again and not learn anything.
>>336404637
>Considering I'm staring at the screen for hours upon hours to play the game, I expect it to have at least a decent art style.

You are not a special little snowflake and devs don't make games to pander to your specific needs.
>>336404891
Oh yeah, graphics are totally not a selling point.
I'm clearly the mutant here, wanting acceptable graphics instead of something that would have been alright in 2006.

You are autistic that is for sure, you don't get to choose how the game looks. It is down to the devs what art style they use and what the graphics are like.
>>336405119
>And who's needs are Relic pandering to with this bizarre plastic-y look, exactly?
No one, they are making it the way they want to and not the way you want them to.
Why are you acting like SJW?
>>336405668
>you don't get to choose how the game looks. It is down to the devs what art style they use
I sure get to choose where to spend my money.
>they are making it the way they want to
It's a shame the way they want to make it will sell like shit.
It's great and all you're sticking up for the developers, but they're creating a product that costs money and the only impression of the product I'm getting is that it looks like shit compared to their previous game made a decade ago.

Considering the setting and property the game is based on is autistically painting and detailing tiny figures until they look as gritty and awesome as the sourcebook images, I doubt I'm alone in this.
Hell, a sizable chunk of the DLC for DoW2 was just visual overhauls for your troops to make them look like your favorite space marine chapter. I can't see them successfully charging money for unit skins with this art style.
Dawn of War 1 and 2 were both state of the art, gritty and great looking RTS games, and it's a shame that DoW3 is going the neo-blizzard route and making lazily crafted textures and models.
>>336404637

Blood Ravens are worse than the Ultramarines.

>>336406690
U MAD? That the Blood Ravens gets more screen time and named character than first founding chapters like the White Scarfs, Irond Hands, Raven Guards?
>>336406690
What about Space Marine? Or games that came out before the chapter was invented for DoW?
>>336406690
BLUHT RAHVENS kinda grew on me, i used to hate them but dow 2 story flashed them out pretty well imo. Plus they are memetastic as fuck.
>>336397419
Who even uses 35mm cannon anymore?
Russian fed and other ex ussr cunt trees use old soviet cannon in 20, 23 etc .
In the west the closest I can think of is the 37mm bushmaster autocannon
>>336406835
Good for you, but some people have standards.
Space Station 13 and Sil are some of my favorite games, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want them to have better aesthetics
It's a bigger drawback for this game, especially considering they're most likely going to sell this game for 40+ bucks, and it's based on a setting that's almost entirely it's aesthetic
>>336406690
at least they have hilarious character flaws like stealing relics and lisps, ultramarines are just boring US marine shit
>>336397976
Bolter weapons are rpg heat launchers with full auto capahility in a Spess Muhreenz portable calibre and package
>>336407003

South Africa uses a CIWS setup with 35mm on their Frigates.
British Marksman SPAAG, the american Bushmaster III (You mentioned this) and the swiss for the Skyshield system.
>>336398190
That's because game devs are idiots who cannot read. A bolter shell is like heat. But each round is mass reactive. Remember. Think of it like having an armour piercing round that converts its ap tip into exploding melty death as the mass of a target (ie its armour) forces some decelleration and compression of the molecules. This squishing sets off the chain reaction.
>>336406690
Yeah no shit idiot. It's called "Avoiding continuity errors." Even 40k Space Marine, which featured a grand total of FIVE fucking Ultramarines, has continuity errors. Blood Ravens are a proprietary Chapter that Relic can do whatever it wants with.
Who even does the stealing for the Ravens
>>336382189
>all that destruction
I've been asking for this since Red Faction 1, muh dick.
>>336406903
not him, but it does hurt that Raven guard gets no attention.
>>336383242
Eisenhorn is one of those "rare" good stories you fucking newcunt. It's pretty well known as a highlight novel of the series.
Looking at the Giantbomb look at it, the story is solid but with the budget they have they definitely should've gone with a TellTale/KRZ style thing; it's mobile garbage.
>>336407589
>A bolter shell is like heat.
No, it really isn't. Bolt shells are consistently described as penetrating the target then exploding, which immediately rules out HEAT because it doesn't work like that. Bolt shells are APHE rounds, which would behave as depicted in Space Marine.
>>336407931
Everyone, that shit's a gene-seed flaw. Compulsive kleptomania.
>>336382056
Games Workshop is bleeding money fast and they threw their IP at every single willing developer in hopes of recreating the success of DoW. That's what's up.

>>336408239
Are you fucking retarded?
They recently lost a lawsuit, they alienated all third part and subsidiarity companies that worked with them and FLGSs, and recently rebooted Warhammer Fantasy because 40k is literally the only thing that still makes them some money, even though they've had the smallest sales yet and have been in a long decline.
Right now the only reason they haven't gone down-under is because of their rabid fanbase of literal 14 year olds who buy purposely overpowered codexes and ever more expensive but quantitatively smaller models. Then there's stuff like this http://www.iii.co.uk/news-opinion/richard-beddard/games-workshop-agm%3a-relentless-profit-machine
If you're seriously defending GW, you should re-think your choices in life.
>>336408872
There's also the fact that they've been closing stores left and right, in addition to the aforementioned alienating of general stores. Plus, companies like Privateer Press are slowly catching up to them, and, just like Pathfinder, are profiting off people jumping ship.
>>336382056
>Whats up with the sudden Warhammer flux of games hitting around the same time?
Games Workshop got a new CEO last year, probably due to declining sales. The CEO is still being mostly a bitch, keeping prices ridiculous and breaking gameplay in favor of "collecting" overpriced units, but hes also allowed for an expansion of IP to include more video games, a return of specialist games, and a tighter control over literary canon (aka the old "there is no canon" in 40k is dying out).
>>336388862
It looks like Clash of Clans.
>>336397419
Bolters are .50-75 calibre (depending on model) weapons that fire caseless rocket-assisted rounds that explode after penetrating something. The closest IRL equivalent would be a much larger XM25 that fires mini-rockets instead of grenades.
>>336404637
>tfw I don't care about graphics. The only games I really play anymore are Starcraft 1, WC3, and Age of Empires 2
>>336410072
Except Starcraft 1, WC3, and Age of Empires 2 all have great and detailed art styles, and looked great at the time they were released.
DoW3 not only manages to look worse than it's predecessor released a decade ago, but is a sequel to a series known for it's aesthetic
I know nothing of Warhammer other than it looks neat, and possibly caters to my interest.
Where should I continue if I want to learn more about the universe? Let's say WH40k?
>>336404637
I bet they use the same engine as blizzard.
>>336410456

>>336403127
That's awful.
>>336410268
Yeah but my point is, a game can have SC1-tier graphics and I'll still like it if it's fun for me
>>336385510
They really wont. I don't think you understand anything about compression moulding OR 3D printing.
By the time a 3D printer that can print to the quality GW moulds models now, compression moulding would still be significantly cheaper, since why 3D print an entire product range, when you can use a cheaper 3D printer to make a mould to be put into a cheap to operate compression mould machine?

>>336382056
GW's miniature business is failing.
They made a desperate attempt to spark interest by rebooting Warhammer Fantasy as Age of Sigmar with little success and angering their most loyal customers.
They've begun shutting down their brick and mortar stores and replacing them with smaller 1 man shops with a single table for demonstrations. They are far and few between.
Their only saving grace is that they can whore out their IP to random publishers and development studios in hope to desperately stay afloat.
They've gone through multiple CEOs and continue to distribute their miniature in smaller qualities at a higher price.
They're an abysmal company riding on their decent IP while slowly (or hastily in the case of WHFB) killing them.
Fuck Games Workshop.

Dreadnought, titan, whatever, who cares.
>>336404257
>Eversors are too slow
Do- Do you even have any idea what you are saying? They are the fastest infantry unit in the game. 3D6" charge. So fast they fire their pistol four times in the same amount of time a space marine or your space elves can fire theirs once. Even Cypher, one of the most skilled and oldest space marines alive, with the best marksmanship in the game, can only fire his twice in the same time an eversor can fire 4 times. An eversor is so fast he can swing his melee weapons 8 times in the same time a banshee exarch can swing hers three times.
If you want to go fast, that's your man. Two hearts and blood that is more chemical stimulants than cells, a man-made murderfast machine.
>>336419285
Honestly speaking, it's a warmachine that's like, 2.5 times larger than the dreadnought you see in the second picture. I'm still not sure how you confused it for something like that.

Yes they really are. If you want quality sculpts you go to third party models which have more resolution, but more importantly artists that can actually sculpt a human face.
On top of the worse quality of artists game workshop has for sculpting, their base concept designs have gotten worse in quality too and devolved into generic fantasty/sci-fi garbage for a number of units.
Meanwhile video game devs for 40k knock their designs out of the park like battlefleet gothic's tech priest portrait.
