DAWN OF WAR 3 TRAILER

On a side note, more Blood Ravens. Honestly with the amount of them dying how the hell are they not extinct !?

Also, is it bad I consider the quote at the beginning a good omen because it means the universe won't end in our lifetimes? Have I been playing 40k too long?

The wraithbone is more...bony than usual. I guess it makes it more alien and less plastic-looking.

Seeing as the Blood Raven ending had him rebuilt and chosen as the new chapter master while none of the others confirmed or denied his survival (but I doubt that the Chaos or Tyranids, for example, would have helped patch him up) does this mean that the Blood Raven ending is canon?

>>47059168
If the trailer is anything to go by, that may very well happen soon. Never saw marines taking so many losses and the high point for them is a 2v1 knights vs elves where one of them dies in one hit and the other kills a marine too.

That said, the trailer seem to imply more small scale skirmishes like DoW2, not sure if want.

i don't really know why people are so opposed to DLC. it's mostly the expansions of old in smaller cheaper chunks.

>>47060193
DLC is okay, if it's something that either upgrades the game (like an actual expansion, like The Witcher 3 did) or is something that isn't necessary for the core game.
But if you go down the Total Warhammer route and turn major factions like Chaos into DLC, that's a load of groxshit

>i don't really know why people are so opposed to DLC
It's because games used to release complete without them and it worked fine. Now publishers use DLC as an excuse for incomplete games and making us pay about double the initial (already inflated) cost for the same stuff.

We know from the media's past that they can survive alright without that kind of practice, so it's nothing but endless greed justified in the vein of capitalism, at our cost. If publishers feel they are morally justified to "just make more money", I feel morally justified to give them the finger and pirate their shit.

>>47060314
Only the ones that come from /v/ or are /v/ inside their hearts.

>>47060314
Of course! We all know that. But it still means we are gonna buy it and play it like brainwashed little bitches we are. Play it and bitch about it on forums.

>>47060352
>muh capitalism
Tell me about all those great socialistic video games.

>>47060352
Exp packs, data discs and mission packs have always been a thing, now if anything you get more content and support that way, plus in this day and age you can just wait and get everything you want for a fraction of the cost, most DLCs end up costing less than a coffee in switzerland.

I honestly don't give a shit if this is loaded in DLC the fact that this game is even coming out rather than being forgotten is a blessing from the emperor.

I am not happy about the whole "bringing back DoW 1 style basebuilding."
That shit was boring as fuck, and when each race has their own, unique and interesting ways of bringing warriors to the battlefield, just doing DoW 1 style basebuilding bs reeks of lack of effort and imagination.

>>47060193
DLC is a smaller, more compact amount of content. While that's fine if it's priced as such, too often does DLC fall into the category of something tiny and insignificant being sold for a high price. For example, model updates and cosmetics that are either too expensive or too numerous, making it feel like you're getting nickle and dimed for things. In this case, smaller DLC can be packed together and sold and continue to have periodic sales if the original price point isn't competitive.

Expansion packs tended to have more content, not just in gameplay, but also in core and minor updates that significantly change the behavior of the game. An example I like to use is D2: Lord of Destruction. If you were to chop up LoD into DLC, you'd have:

Two DLCs for each new class.
A DLC for runes, runewords, and jewels.
DLC for the extended list of unique and set items.
DLC for Act 5.

On top of this, you'd have a product update that attempts to implement these on top of normal D2, at best causing high variance in gameplay between DLC owners and nons, and at worst causing outright incompatibility between everyone since people who don't own DLC have to be taken into account as well.

In that regard, sometimes it would be best if a company just put all the detail lesser DLCs add into the major gameplay DLCs and sold them as a more expensive but complete package (Especially looking at you Paradox -- You might provide lots of free content to games, but most of it tends to break the base game without having the DLC to back it up, forcing people to either buy all of it or play on the retail client).

>>47060397
Well, considering that Soviet socialism, despite all the flaws, managed to provide a bretty sweet culture of literature, art, cinema and theater, I think it could pull off nice vidya if it was still around.

But that is rather irrelevant, as I compared the modern model to the earlier capitalistic one. We've seen (and still see) that publishers can survive and make profit without the rampant DLCs, so it's not like they ABSOLUTELY NEED IT - they just consciously choose to fuck us a little harder.

No, instead you tell me why video games in an alternative economic modell would be better. And while you are at it, tell me if the developers of DoW3 read Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations" and thus came to the conclusion that they should jew the fuck out of everyone.

Greedy and stupid developers are greedy and stupid, not because some abstract economic modell tells them to do it. Stop blaming it on fucking capitalism, blame the developers. You already named the solution to this problem: don't buy, pirate. Or blame the consumers. Hell, even I bought dlc's that I feel a bit ashamed of. Because at this time I thought for some reason they would be worth the money. But things like this were always in place, like some other anon pointed out that you didn't reply to. There are also great dlc's out there.

>>47060397
It's a pretty widespread practice and video games are specific products.
If the practice works and they get more money, that's what they'll do.
Just because something is happening and 'muh capitalism' doesn't mean it's the best outcome for a consumer.

Alright, I have decided to set aside my lack of entheusiasm for this game. Could it be that DoWIII resurrects the strategy game genre that EA killed? Or will it follow the same dark path that EA set for the genre to die in?

You probably also think games like Dark Souls are too hard because you have use sopme muscle memory to do well.
2/10, made me reply.

>>47062130
Nothing says that you need basebuilding for big armies m8.
Also, Orks are one of the factions to whom DoW 1 style base building actually sorta fitted.
For Eldar and Space Marines though, DoW 1 base-building was completely fucking banal.

Ideally, I'd like every faction to be truly unique in their mechanics. DoW 1 did not have that, seeing how all the factions essentially built their structures and units the exact same way, with only graphical differences between them.
Mechanically, an Ork factory was identical to an Eldar Webway portal, which is fucking retarded.

>>47062153
That reason is not the basebuilding however.

>>47062210
How is a comparison to Dark Souls even relevant?
Especially when basebuilding in DoW 1 didn't even need any real effort of skills in "macro" like it does in Brood War.

Isn't the quote at the beginning from the Necron codex?

Necrons fourth faction confirmed.

I stopped playing DOW1 before they came out for it but I'd say of 40k armies Necrons, IG, mehreens and tau are the ones I'm most interested in.

>>47062266
The fuck?

>>47062286
That's my main gist really. The fact that basically all the factions build their shit exact same way in dow 1 and 2, is rather annoying to me. Especially when the various factions have such interesting and unique methods of getting their warriors into the battlefield in the lore, which could be used as inspiration for faction unique mechanics and shit.

Like have all Space Marine production be them dropping stuff into the battlefield via drop pods, Eldar just deploying stuff straight out webway gates they can open on the field etc.

Hey Heretic! Yeah that's right I'm talking to you! Do you know how the Emperors glorious Adeptus Algorithmica makes the games that entertain you! It is a very time consuming and expensive process that has been getting more time consuming and expensive as time goes on! And because this process is so time consuming they have to plan out exactly what they are going to include! And after release if they want to add something they make a DLC! And that new additional content that was never part of the base game costs money because they can't live off only an Administratum stipend! So fuck off with your heretical whining because you don't get stuff for free!

Being reminded of that, and the fact that the campaigns are interwoven and you don't get to choose one faction to stick as (rather mission A is spess mehreens, B might be orks, C might be orks but then D could be Eldar and E could be mehreens) has me optimistic whatever the big bad lurking behind the secret weapon is will be playable in multiplayer - probably Chaos or Necrons.

>>47062253

I had to google it but you're right. Makes sense also, unless that whole reform they got with more personality injected into them with the dynasties, that they wouldn't be suitable for a story driven campaign.

I wouldnt worry much about that. This is pre alpha, very early development. The engine isnt probably done yet and the comic artstyle just stems from that.

Yea I knew the name of the Inquisitor was familiar.

High Inquisitor Czevak has close ties to the Eldar, one of the few living humans they hold any respect for, so if there's a dark threat that he's afraid of, it has to be Necrons.

Why do you guys think it's the Necrons?

The quote is from an Inquisitor who has spent his life fighting against Chaos. He never once met any Necrons or encountered them. He gets kidnapped by Eldar clowns and chased around by Ahriman.

His quote is not about the Necrons. That's for sure.

Pre-alpha

>>47062695
No it isn't.
Mechanically that shit is identical to how you produce units in any stock standard rts game. The fancy animations don't have any gameplay influence.

If you actually could drop your units wherever you like, outside of special abilities and shit, you wouldn't need to construct retarded landing pads for your drop pods, like you do in DoW 1.

>>47062692
Where is this from?
If anything, I'm inclined to say they're both based on the same thing, if anything.

>>47059079
How the hell were the Knights moving faster then the Eldar Wraithknight?
WKs are described as dancing across the battlefield like they were the greatest riverdancer alive. Why were they just lazily walking about like that?

>>47062751
They said they're going for colorful units, so I wouldn't be surprised if the graphics don't change much.
I'll still buy it for more glorious Angelos but I'm not hyped for the graphics

>>47062787
Just stuff them into an orbital command.

>>47062787
But later on you gain the ability to drop your troops where you want too? With pods and teleport.

>>47062751
From the PCGamer article, it looks like the new direction is going to be taken from the tabletop itself; less doom and gloom, and more "colorful" and clean armies that are easy to read in the thick of it.

Depending on how good they do, it could be fucking great or it could be fucking cheesy as hell.

>>47062798

>>47062904
Blood Ravens are actually a mixture of the Thousand Sons and the Lamenters.

I get a very distinct warcraft 3 feel from this.


Eg : You still need to research and pace out build orders and teirs and such but you're not spamming the shit out of zerglings SC2 style.

Cover is important for ranged fights, COH2 (from the same company) functions by reducing incoming damage and accuracy of shots, so the same could be said here. Melee units jump/charge/bugger people out of cover or risk being chainsworded to keep the game more "mobile"

Generalist units work as rank and file, losing them is still bad but it's not as catastrophic as it is in other games, specalized hero units do stuff and add micro, specialized pre-chosen elite units work like doctrines do in Coh2 in all likelihood.


Basically take WC3, sprinkle in a dash of Company of heros and serve on a bed of Dawn of War 1. I'm all for it.

fits really well tbqh

Here is hoping Relic can make space marine 2 if DOW3 does well.

I don't think I've ever been as hype for a trailer as I was when the walkers showed up

>>47063224
So we can finally have Titus kick ass.

>everybody thinks that Necron are the main enemy of the game
>while both Czevak and Magpies are strongly related to Thousand Sons

>>47063214
I cant recall them having much interest in 40k, a name drop here or there, but nothing a layman wouldn't know of, do they actually have in interest?

>>47063207
They use it for everything dude. Look up eldar rune armour.

>>47063215

Sound metal as fuck to me

>>47062648
DLCs are just smaller expansions that cost less.

fundamentally it's just the same thing distributed differently.

>>47063246
>strongly related means you only fight them

Dude you look like the ones that when the DoW2 trailer first came out said that the only possible enemy could be chaos because only ultramarines fight against nids.

I know it's just a trailer but.

>those brutal as fuck Orks
>those Eldritch looking Eldar
>the weight to those knight animations
>that smile on the Marine's face knowing he did his duty

Dick status: muh

I don't think so, some of them played Space Marine but they don't seem like fans of the franchise

>>47063281
>because only ultramarines fight against nids.

Fucking what

>>47063281
Literally what are you trying to say

Czevak is spending hundreds of years now trying to find and kill Ahriman and Blood Ravens are possible succesors of the Thousand Sons

The Eldar look fucking fantastic in the trailer, god damn.
Too bad that the in game shots we got look like cartoony shite.

Correction.

Czevak knows about the Necrons (picture related).

>>47062322
>This kills the marine

>>47063243
Plus to shoot Leandros into the nearest sun.

>>47063328
I guess I need to learn greenstuffing because that stuff looks kickass

>>47063328
Looks like something a predator would have an honour duel with and I am down with that.

>>47063316
That doesn't mean they have to be the only thing they fight 24/7

>>47063341
WHAT DOES THE CODEX ASTARTES SAY ABOUT ME STUFFING YOUR ASS INTO THE TITANS MEGABOLTER LEANDROS, WHAT DOES IT SAY?

>>47063328
That organic wraith bone looks amazing
