Ok here is a video of Dawn of War 3 narrated by the most boring man Relic could find on their staff

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment
I want it be be good, though

>>344089484IV THOU
A Spess Mahreen in a Termiantor armor isn't supposed to jump around like that. Even if he is a big guy
Is this for fucking real? This looks like a bad SC II campaign editor map. How does it look worse than not only DoW II, but also DoW I? The fuck is that ugly interface? The fuck is that ugly everything? Why does it look so floaty and cartoony? Why are all the attack animations so shit?
This looks like some shitty mobile game. Another hope crushed and killed.
>no Paul Dobson
>>344086539
>guy in terminator armor jumping around like a JRPG protagonist
HAHAA IT LOOKS LIKE A SHITTY RIPOFF OF LOL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI4czKLL6i0
>>344086539
Jesus christ that looks so fucking bad, from gameplay perspective alone.
I'm glad everyone in the demo was polite and waited their turn to fight each other
>>344086539
>that cover mechanic
Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?
>>344086539
>Literally DOTA
Fuck Relic forever. Fuck DOTA for ruining RTS games
Fuck everything.
>>344086539
>different Gabriel Angelos voice
>flipping around like an eldar harlequin in terminator armor
God damn this shit looks worse than DoW 1.
The gameplay looks so fucking simplified.
>>344086539
What the fuck is that?
Thats not Gabriel Angelos. How could Relic fuck up the one thing they were known for and not have the god tier voice acting they had before.
>I want DoW 3 to have basebuilding and big battles back!
>>344086539
The trailer gave me high hopes at first.
RIP

PAY RESPECTS
BRING BACK DIOMEDES, FUCKERS
>>344086539
>female space marine
Emperor why thou forsaken us?
Why does it look like Warcraft III?
>>344096087
At least watch the video m8.
The female is the knight pilot. Knight pilots aren't space marines.
>>344086539
>mfw people literally asking for brown and bloom filters
The only thing I don't like are animations and that Gabriel looks overpowered as fuck
>>344096167
Even the fucking tabletop models are grittier than this. It looks like a world of Warcraft knockoff.
Every time I see a screenshot of this game, with those non dynamic squads I die a little inside.
>>344086539
>m-muh base build
>m-muh scale
>m-muh apocalypse mod
lel this is what you get dumb cucks, DoW 2 was near perfect but you fucks just have to ruin the series with your shitty nostalgia
>>344086539
I don't know, it doesn't look so bad to me. I'll miss the tactical maps of the SS and DC campaigns tho, I liked that.
>>344088936
How do you still have hope?
Everything we've seen looks like trash and no "i-its a pre-alpha" will not change it.
No Paul Dobson? HERESY!
>>344096310
>Muh graphics
The game looks perfectly fine for an RTS
the cover mechanic is disgusting.
>>344097921
Not really no. If it was an indie dev, it'd be fine, but given that it looks worse than DoW2 there is no excuse
it looks horrible. what were they thinking?
I'm more hyped for Eternal fucking Crusade than this shit at this point.
At least EC has nailed the aesthetics of 40k pretty well.
>>344098440
Are you excited for Deathwing?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etm3Z8E4F18
Are they fucking everything up on all fronts?
>>344098661
Yeah, but there is no info on when that is gonna come out.
EC is supposedly coming out this year.
>it looks worse than DoW2
Maybe tac marines
Gabriel, dreadnought and knight are way better than anything in dow2
Ground textures, textures in general and special effect are a lot better too.
>>344086539
Jesus.... what the fuck is this? It looks too fucking cartoony to look like a Dawn of War?
Are they trying to copy Warcraft?
>>344086539
>it's a moba
yaaaaaay
>>344098440
That looks good, but I doubt they'll manage to make a good game. The problem with multiplayer paid games is that the community and the playerbase dies very quickly.
Wish it or not you need a reliable PvE if you want the playerbase to remain steady.
>>344098715
dear god I love them
>>344099226
They are planning on implementing Tyranid based PvE.
>>344086539
The game looks pretty nice for the scale they're going for. artistically, I love it. Gameplay wise is such a departure form CoH2 I can tell it won't hold my interest for very long. Very obvious that this game will not hold strong for the Relic fans that were into DoW2, CoH, or CoH2. This looks far more macro-strategy oriented with most of the player micro going to the special units. Might explain why they simplified the cover mechanic to something similar to "garrisons". They game will probably play out like late-game CoH2; all terrain cover is blown to bits, so garrisons are the only focus for turning infantry engagements (if they're not blown to bits already), Special units will act as the super heavy tanks, but all of this on a far greater scale than CoH2 usually does it.
>>344086539
the game looks good i dont get why people is so mad
I'll be the >alpha and consider there's probably a lot more development and polish that's been put into the game.
>>344099595
Then call me when it happens, so far I'm not sold on buying a multiplayer game when everything else besides the ones sold by blizzard failed.
>>344086539
Relic was resurrected for THIS?
>>344086539
hahahahahaha how does it look and sound so horrible
The imperial knight animations and sounds are humiliatingly bad.
>>344086539
It's the old warcraft 2/3 where it got shitty from too much focus on heroes.
>>344099676
Im not mad but i do think some stuff needs to change.
>Twink space marines zipping around like sonic
>Having heros with special abilities is fine dow 2 did it just fine but maybe take out some of the more moba-y elements
>The cover mechanic needs to be reworked back to dow2 levels
>>344100575
But the heroes always had abilities, the farseer for example was always able to do a shitton of things.
>>344099676
You have absolutely shit taste if you think that crap looks anywhere close to good.
>focus on "ebin super duper hero and elite units"
>cover being bubble shields you capture.
>spammy global abilities
>aeo abilities out of the ass
>static as fuck firefights, with warriors standing around in rows, shooting each other, like it was the 18th century
>fucking backflipping terminators.
It looks like a bastard child of a Moba and the worst aspects of both DoW 2 and 1.
those model animations are so goofy
>>344086539
I don't understand why they pick such a boring voiced person to narrate the obvious.
I really like the movement of all the units and the effects and motions of the buildings and the Knight. The bubble cover thing is interesting, not really what I'd go with over a normal cover system, but the general style they seem to be going with is having everything be super identifiable so I guess the choice makes sense. The effects left on the ground are cool although the environment itself is rather boring. I really hope they have more in store then just the crystal planet.
Not the original voice of Gabriel Angelos and its very different but its not horrible but it kills the nostalgia. I'll leave till I hear an actual speech out of him to make a decision. The jumping around in the super heavy armor is weird but I suppose that has something to do with needing a gap closing move and at the very least it looks cool in an over the top way.
Never was a fan of dozens and dozens of Space Marines and Eldar dying in a single engagement and am not crazy about drop pod building lore wise but they already ripped off that bandaid with the reveal, and I suppose for an RTS at this scale its something I'll have to bear with. I still blame the IG fans for encouraging a swing in this direction though.
Chaos When?
>>344101841
We have to understand that this is a much younger gabriel angelos, but yeah he sound boring.
Wish they would bring back player choices from the WA DC and SS campaign tho.
>>344100881
>focus on "ebin super duper hero and elite units"
DoW games always had super units
Baneblade, Monoliths, Avatar, Demon Prince, Land Raider and what not.
>cover being bubble shields you capture.
ok
>spammy global abilities
Drop pod call? it's a fucking campaign mission
>static as fuck firefights, with warriors standing around in rows, shooting each other, like it was the 18th century
This is how RTS game work
>fucking backflipping terminators.
Thats a fucking backflipping chapter master
>>344102285
In previous DoW games, the super units weren't the complete focus of the game, wheres everything we know of DOW 3 seems to indicate that those "elite" and "super" units will be the main focus.
>Drop pod call? it's a fucking campaign mission
Didn't you watch the video? The Drop pod call is a production mechanic that will likely also be in the multiplayer.
>This is how RTS game work
Shitty ones maybe.
DoW 2 combat is far more dynamic, due to it's mechanics encouraging movement, flanking and outmaneuvering your opponent.
>Thats a fucking backflipping chapter master
Is that supposed to justify the retardation of a backflipping terminator? It is still a suit of terminator armor. It shouldn't be jumping anywhere.
>>344098440
>Tau fire warrior commander wielding and slashing an ornamental blade with ofuda cloth wrapped around it when?
>>344103692
Fucking never, thank god.
Eternal crusade won't have tau in it.
>>344103692
Fucking weebs, always trying to ruin everything they can get their hands on, even my W40K.
I mean, that map looks fucking dire, empty, flat, and linear.
The old campaign maps had linearity too, but they didn't look that fucking mundane.
>>344103318
What if it's on a low gravity planet?
it would make sense for him to do backflips if he had the assault marine jump pack at the very least, and even that's a stretch
>>344103318
>Didn't you watch the video? The Drop pod call is a production mechanic that will likely also be in the multiplayer.
Have you played a DOW game? thats pretty much a staple of the space marines. Yes its going to be in multiplayer but balanced hopefully
Chaos when?
Do not trifle with me worm.
>we want the moba audience
Good job Relic, you are only like 4 years late.
>>344097921
Sequels are supposed to look better and yet this one utterly fails in that.
>Dawn of War 3 is a perfect game for newcomers to both the series and Warhammer in general!
Why do I have a feeling that the dev team working on this aren't the people that had anything to do with the last two DoWs.
>>344109109
>it's still going to run worse and have higher requirements
>>344098440
Is there any armor customization available at all in this game? I remember they promised that back when they first announced the game.
>>344086539
Fuck this looks awful. Still hoping Deathwing ends up good.
>>344086539
>looks like 3ed
>Heroes being heroic
>Big battles back
>Even basebuilding
Looks good. /v/ proves they're just casuals for 40k as usual.
I'm glad they're going with the old requisition system but goddamn the animations and art style completely fucking ruin it
>>344086539
I just want a good, new Warhammer game. Is that really too much to ask?
>>344103318
>In previous DoW games, the super units weren't the complete focus of the game,
Dark Eldar, SoB, Eldar a Necrons disagree with your bullshit. What's more campaign missions on DoW2 revolved SPECIFICALLY around abilities and heroes.
>>344110874
Depends.
Do you even know what Warhammer is? or are you a DoW /v/tard?
>>344094041
>here's your (you)
>>344098440
Can they just scrap the whole MMO thing and just make Space Marine Multiplayer 2.0 featuring Eldar, Orks, and Tyranids?
>>344086539
>No Blood
>No gore
>Maps pulled straight from Burining Crusade's Outlands
>Gameplay looks hectic and Mobalike
This isn't Dawn of War
Dawn of War was fun because it stayed to true to what 40k fans like: to jerkoff to psuedosatanic splatter porn.
>no Chaos
>>344111447That's what they're doing
>>344099598
I miss times when Glider Commandos were useful.
>>344100881
This is what retards get for complaining about DoW2 being too fast and micro heavy.
>>344102243
>younger angelos
Wait wait, they're not even going to pick it up after Retribution. Fucking why?
>>344113514
No idea, this is a prequel tho.
Everybody complaining about a pre-alpha like it's going to damn the game to be utter shit is retarded.
Sure, talk about what's wrong and what could be better, but come on, Pre alpha. Don't get worked up into a tizzy over "gameplay, art, and sound assets may be subject to change"
>>344113673
Whelp. Fuck it. I was only interested in what they could do with the shambles of the Ravens after Retribution. That would have at least been interesting.
>>344113673
you're retarded, this happens way after retribution.
>>344111732
>they literally show blood and gore in the first 6 seconds
>map was made specifically for e3
>gameplay looks like dow 1 with more abilities
dow 2 retard spotted.
>>344113673
then how is Angelos acknowledged as chapter master?
>>344113880
That's not what I've read though.
Where are the dark eldar? I thought there would be dark eldar.
>>344114285
>That's not what I've read though.
whatever you read was full of shit then. gabe is the now chapter master of the blood ravens, sporting his 'borrowed' terminator armor. he was never chapter master before retribution, nor has he ever worn terminator armor, and he got godsplitter at the end of dow 1's campaign, so him having it in a prequel wouldn't make sense. plus, he's scarred from the end of retribution when he went up against a daemon prince and got fucked up.
>>344093943
This is a game killer for me. The cover mechanic and flanking are pretty much the only thing that gives relic rts game depth, without it its just a shitty death ball vs death ball no-brainer.
I guess I shouldn't have expected anything after the COH2 and DOW2 disasters, though.
>>344090501
>tfw Relic should've died in 2012
>>344086539
>They plan on showing Grimgutz
Oh god I can't FATHOM seeing how they rape the poor ork Boyz. This style is autistic enough...and seeing what an ork might look like in it makes my skin crawl.
>>344098440
>40k CoD clone with shitty graphic
>>344086539
soooo if this looks exatcly like starcraft 2 and it´s a dead game how this is gonna live any longer? is there a huge multiplayer scene or wtf?
>5 years too late
That looks like dogshit. Fuck basebuilding as well. DOW3 should've been a Sudden Strike like game with requisition points that allow you to purchase units only before a mission instead.
>>344110727
>DoW
>big battles
kek SupCom have larger maps and better graphic.
>>344098440
>Still no Orks presented, not even Nobs
What the fuck? Why do Orks never recieve any love? Zog yer humies and panzee eldar gitz just lemme stomp sum grotz az a big nob!
>>344113821
Shil, please.
>>344113821
I think Company of Heroes (before Tales of Valor) was point blank the best RTS ever made and one of the best games ever.
I actually think that DoW2 became a great game with Retribution.
I can even tolerate CoH2. It's not as good as past efforts, but they have it at the point where you can sit down and play it and enjoy it for what it is.
But this looks absolutely terrible and there is no excusing it with "pre alpha" footage. Unless Relic goes back to the drawing board HARD, there's no saving this turd.
And the only thing that will convince Relic to do a 180 on a lot of these awful decisions we can already see shaping up is for the players who are watching these videos to point out how incredibly fucking awful this looks.
