Warhammer 40.000: Dawn of War II
« on: April 11, 2008, 07:10:34 pm »
so yeah relic entertainment announced dawn of war 2 a couple of weeks ago and i started browsing around the intrawebs for some massive win screen shots

anyway here is some info about DoW2

Quote
- Uses the Essence 2.0 engine with Havok physics, all optimized for DX10 and multicore support.
- Units also use CoH-like unit AI for awareness and pathfinding to find cover and such.
- While DoW 2 shares the same (upgraded probably) engine as CoH it won’t be “CoH in space”, while soldiers in CoH will ask themselves if flanking the enemy is the right option, in DoW2 it will be more like Space Marines asking themselves if they should use their jetpacks to jump over an Ork squad to attack them in the back. Different settings, different kinds of warfare.
- Preview only showed a destroyed city landscape, akin to DoW (but more detailed), other tilesets will offer deserts, jungles, mountains and other cities.
- Only the Orkz and Space Marines were revealed, more races on the way obviously and to be to revealed later this year (though how many isn’t known).
- Co-op campaign for both the Orkz and Space Marines, apparently not for the other to-be-revealed races.
- Relic wants to give players rewards at the end of a mission like wargear (armor, weapons, rare objects); “Let’s pimp out squads with cool stuff!”, you will see these items in-game as well of course.
- You’ll fight your way through the campaign with the same squads.
- A squad leader (one or several?) will need to survive if you want to complete a mission; you really have to look out for your squads and don’t treat them like cannon fodder.
- The campaign lets Space Marines operate from a spaceship, you’ll get a view of an underlying planet and you’ll be able to choose from different missions (which are tagged with difficulty colors, green, blue and red).
- Certain reward items won’t be usable at once in the campaign, so they’ll be taken back to the SM spaceship for research.
- Release in early 2009 or later.
-Buildings can be occupied (like in coh)
-Environment completely destructable ^^
-Vehicles are bigger (there were only a couple of dreadnought shots)
-LOTS of blood (i saw the screens and thought LOL)
-Over the top finishing animations
-when units are in melee, pieces of battle armor can be chopped off in the action

and time to post some screens i guess

Space gnomes?

I still have to figure out of DoW I runs on Mac, so hopefully DoW II does too! Looks really cool to say the least. Looking forward to it! Too many awesome games coming end of 2008 start of 2009, Diablo III, StarCraft II and now Dawn of War II. I IS HAPPY IN MA PANTS!

Second time I heard 'early 2009' for Diablo III.

http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/faq/#3_1

Do you have a source that says otherwise?

The game is noooo where near completion at the mo... like mega-early Alpha.

Finally!

There was a servay on the THQ website like 6 months before they brought out Soulstorm, ask which new race they should introduce Tyranids, dark elder, or witchhunters. Was really dissapointed when it was the last two in the expansion.

Looking amazing in the trailer.
