Dawn of War 3

No playable Chaos or IG, but then again, they're usually DLC/Expansion factions, so I can live with that, the only thing I am not overly fond of is how the campaign jumps from faction to faction.

Not really digging the flat and matte look of those textures. Or the yellow bloom for that matter.

The designers want Dawn of War 3 to be their most accessible RTS yet

Haha, thanks PC Gamer for saving my time.

If it's as hammy and ridiculous as the first two, I'll be somwhat interested.

 

[Wellenbrecher]

And here I thought "accessible" had been put to rest as a useless buzzword and was now generally regarded as a "bad" word to use when lying to yourn future future customers giving press statements.

It's so accessible that we're getting 3 factions that have totally not been done to death! Man, could you imagine what would happen if we had a 40k game with *gasp* 9 whole factions! How could anyone ever get into that and not have their brain boiled out of their ears right away, 2/10 kinda ok.

Call me when they when they finish with this round of spess muhreen wank.

Also, taking bets on what'll be the preorder faction. It'd be funny if it's Chaos again.

 

[ColonicAcid]

Well to be fair 3 factions is usually the norm for strategy games.

It's far easier to balance 3 factions through both mirror matchups and other matchups in between compared to 9 whole factions.
It's pretty much impractical, I would rather take 3 well balanced factions, even if they are just cookie cutter space marines, eldar and orks compared to a cluster**** of balance that is all of warhammers factions.

They look like DoW 2 textures to me, might be mistaken

Accurate.

 

[Arcadius112]

Astartes look weird in the trailer.

Hoping the game is more like the first Dawn of War than the second one. Second one was bad.

 

[Baguette Eater]

Seems to be a mix of both, with building bases and elite units that you can keep around in missions

 

[Wulfburk]

HYPE. Hopefully it will be a more massive scale yeah, but also with customization and etc of your army so it feels yours and not just a blank space marine chapter for example.

Also the wraithknight in the trailer..... Awesome. And thats from me that thinks eldar are pretty much only ahead of Dark Eldar on all w40k factions.

"Accessible"...

 

[Wulfburk]

DONT TAKE MY POSITIVITY AWAY FROM ME GODDAMNIT 

 

[Úlfheðinn]

It's going to be the best and most accessible Warhammer game ever!

Better?

 

[Baguette Eater]

Its not like either DoW games weren't accessible in the past, so I doubt it means much, but I guess the typical TW hate squad would react negatively.

 

[Úlfheðinn]

Yeah, but there's a massive difference between a game actually being accessible and when marketing chaps start throwing the word around.

That's less to do with any sort of "TW hate squad" and more of a "this is what's happened in the last 10 years of video games"...

A fourth faction wouldn't surprise me. Someone has to be the antagonist for the campaign. Chaos seems to be the normal, maybe Necrons since they actually added one to DoW2 a few months back.

If it doesn't have Imperial Guard it isn't worth a dime.
