Dow 4 is inching closer every day and it looks awesomehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEpODv4qmLk&t
>>742408779ai sloppa looking ass
>>742408848It's called TAA, zoomzoom
>>742408779haven't followed it at all but is it soulstorm style campaign map? gameplay looks pretty good
mogged by TW40k
>>742408779Series peaked with 3 but it was review bombed for superficial reasons I haven't kepted up with the DoW4 development mainly due to being soured with how the previous entry whimpered out, relic didnt have the decency to announce the cease of development on the forums and only did a Q&A after the fact.
>>742409309it gets worse, the developers working on dow4 made a coh clone that flopped like a wet turd kek
>>742409309>peaked with 3Oh shut the fuck up you fucking retard. Nobody liked that shitty ass game.
>>742409185Supposedly there will be two modes. Its suppose to launch with ye olde school campaign mode, each of the 4 factions have their own campaign to play through. Suppose to be 70 missions total. After launch they're going to add a "crusade" mode with is basically like Dark Crusade/Soulstorm where you have the battle map and you take territories and get wargear for you commander
>>742409384Are you talking about Iron Harvest? I don't know anything about the game. RTS is a fickle genre and the fans are on extreme ends of hyper competitive or lax gamers who want to play a settlement sim
>>742409727>coh clone with moba mechanicsit was doa.
>No Eldar
>>742408779Mmmmm blur, I love modern graphix
>>742409309Mediocre bait, 1/10 for making me reply.
Is this more like Dawn of War 1?
>>742414849It's a mix of 1 & 2
>>742414849Yes, with some DoW2 elements added in
>primarishit>primarchslop
>>742414849dow1 with just some dow2 it looks likeunfortunately it also has lots of nu40k and no space elves
>>742413241Based. Hate them.
this looks really good why are there so many of you bitching about it?
>>742409265NuTW is ass. DoW4 will mog TW40k>>742416469They are all secondaries
>>742415146>Complaining about PrimarisNot a real fan.
Horrendous sound of explosions, gunfire and well, everything really.
>>742408779The thread about this yesterday was positive, now the real fans who are interested in the game have seen the game, now you'll get the contrarians itt's.
>>742413241>Eldar will be a shilled expansion factionShit's about to be worse than DoW1
>>742408779>total war with 90% less modelswowie
>>742415017Do they keep the cover system from 2?
>>742417247Maybe? this map doesn't have any but I have seen skiitari take cover like in 2 on a previous preview
>>742417000You must really hate Space Marine 2 when a single squad is three Marines expected to fight on a planet infested with Tyranids.
>>742417398no, at least the tyranids were realistic and you get the guard helpingif Space Marine 2 was Titus going and fighting like, fifty nids then i would be upset
>>742416951>Eldar have been broken base game factions for DoW's history>We're now going to get broken DLC EldarCan't wait to see a squad of Banshees counter literally every other Melee unit in the game.
>>742417552>if Space Marine 2 was Titus going and fighting like, fifty nids then i would be upsetYou mean the thing that happens in the game? Did you play SM2?
>>742417609anon you kill hundreds and they make sure to put THOUSANDS on screen, you know what i mean stop acting like a snide nigger
>>742417000Found the secondary fag
>>742417581>Bansheeslol shit. In 1 it was dark reaper spam and later prisms and seer council. In 2 you just spammed wraithguards to delete everyone.
>>742411496There is something fucked going on with DoW4 and Total War 40k. They both have the EXACT same UI bloat, I bet its outsourced to the same shitty indian group. It looks like placeholder garbage but its their actual, official UI.
>>742417738Yes, but that was with base game Eldar.Consider how strong those units will be as DLC.
>>742417706DoW niggers will ALWAYS be secondariesyou are the original secondary, total war nigs are tertiary
>Unity enginewhat's the FPS with 100 units on the screen?
>>742417812What about Chaos Gate fags?
>>742417552I get what you are trying to say but god damn that is some TERRIBLE phrasing, my dude
>>742417879>my dudeopinion discarded ESL jeet
>>742417765Total War has always had UI bloat, its just a problem over time adding even more mechanics.
>primarislop>2 out of 4 factions are Imperium
>>742417932NTA but when did "my dude" become an ESL thing?
>>742408779maybe i'm some old head but I prefer games with builder units and having to farm resources with them too
I guess they're going for the whole sc2 battle report angle? sounds the exact samehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybGpRZb7sqY
the gameplay looks fine, but the presentation need more polishing
>>742417852if it's that engine then it graphically looks more impressive than I thought desu
this looks a LOT like dawn of war 2...
>>742417765TW UI looks the same as always with a different coat of paint.
>>742408779>DoW 2 map design and gameplayDoANot that first one was really great (bruttally mogged by nearly all big RTS of it's time, WC3, CnC SupCom)
>>742417876Actually more likely to come straight from the tabletop than DoW secondaries lmao.
The animations looked awful in the earlier videos but they don't look bad here.Im worried space marines will be balanced wrongly due to being able to just drop half an army from orbit at any time. The beast ork shit is gay.Hoping AdMech doesn't have weird fag rules like they did on the tabletop.
>>742415886Where's the nu40k cutoff for you?
>>742409727seemed like it did fine for an unknown AA rts
>>742417852I'm so tired of unity shit, everything looks the same. Also no chaos, shit game
>>742408779I want the game to be good, but the devs made Iron Harvest and that game was fucking terrible.
>>742423953>this blobby mess>dow2 designThis is why catering to Dow1 players always ends in confused messThey don't even play the game they proclaim they like, nor even understand design principles
The wargear and build UI looks unintuitive and clunky.Should have gone for the traditional RTS sidebar instead of a little box with only pictures on them.
>>742427728Unity is better than Unreal at least
>>742408779I hate this gay ass simplified, soul less garbage UI that every game has now. And do you really need that section EXPLAINING what your unit's capabilities are?
>>742427780Dow 4 is a formula, they don't need to be creative
looks worse than 1looks worse than 2dead after a month
>Space Marines>they're actually pritranis
>>742429494Iron Harvest was bad due to gameplay reasons, not "creativity". It felt like a shitty Company of Heroes mod with bad map design, worthless unit pathfinding, and shit combat balance.
2 is underrated and better than 1 and Im tired of pretending otherwise
>>742430010Based and true
>>742417852Unity hired the data driven development guy to develop DOTS a few years ago and now its the gold standard for units in screen kinda games.Here's a Unity game with 8 gazillion enemies on screen that runs at +175fps on my rig https://store.steampowered.com/app/1272320/Diplomacy_is_Not_an_Option/
>>742408779>no idle animations>every movement is way too fast and lacks weightThey need to fix these two and I'll buy it
>>742428721>>this blobby mess>blobby mess>blobby>base is restricted to certain corner of the map>critical points for energy generators >DoW1Seriously?
>>742408779so multiplayer is just capture point carousel again?
>>742432861Always was, always will be.
>>742409309only correct post ITT despite being ESL
>>742417581According to Mike Brooks' "Da Big Dakka" not only can Eldar men join the Howling Banshees, when they do they undergo automatic gender transitions to become female due to Eldar biology.As such, many Howling Banshees are actually transgender, and all Eldar are inherently genderfluid.
>>742432861what did you want, minerals and vespene gas?
>>742434735Yeah, sounds great
>>742411496theys shootan at us!
What was wrong with dow3? The main criticism I've heard is that there are hero units which are terrifying overpowered and they control the flow of the game. Is that accurate?
>>742435449The baseline mode the game is built around is leaning hard into MOBA territory with towers and 'cores'.The prevailing rumor is that Old Relic had to scrap the original DoW3 to make a MOBA due to oressure from THQ, and when Sega got the leftovers they just told New Relic to push out a functioning product.
>>742425753gaycrons
>>742408883I prefer DLSS for better fps
>>742417247No, there are limited and rigid cover objects that units snap to similar to total war games. Better than 3's Empire at War cover bubbles, and I guess 1's cover paint. But not at all like 2's simplified CoH-style dynamic cover.
>>742430006>It felt like a shitty Company of Heroes modIt wishes, more like a cheap knockoff lacking most core mechanics.
>>742435449The primary issue, which people avoid addressing these days for some reason, is that it looks bad. The artstyle, animations, and sounds were ill-fitting. Those are huge part of what drew in their core DoW fans, and it tossed it away. The excellent CGI teaser made the whiplash even worse.Sure, the gameplay was a confused mess, but the presenation is what really doomed it. After all, most people hated DoW2's gameplay changes, but praised the excellent presentation.
