Also because I wonder what type of animation they'll give to space marines hitting dirt.

Space Marines do not hit the dirt. They smite it, while screaming and raising their fists and pointing their swords at the sky.

On a more serious note, I'm very much worried that this new DoW will reduce my tabletop playing time by at least half. And painting... well, its always the first thing to go. Guess I'd better get the brushes out now, 'cause they're getting no love this summer.

Just because they do an article on it doesn't mean you're gonna see it anytime soon.

But it will be the first official confirmation that it's coming. Relic's awfully secretive about what they're working on until it reaches a state where they're confident announcing it, and they do have high standards for a game.

Here you go boys...

Did GW authorize this? At no time during that clip did the space marine raise his fist while screaming. This must be corrected immediately!

Coming Winter 2007 hey?

Cool. Should be in the bargain bin by now then!!!

BYE

All that work to screw up the year...

Ozymandias, King of Kings

Cant see the picture cause my work blocks it. BUt sounds cool. Have not played in a while. It seems a little odd since they are coming out with the new sisters stuff for the old one I thought.

While I hope there is a DoW2 coming soon, neither of these videos have anything to do with it. They are both from a lesser known game called Warhammer 40k: Glory in Death for the ngage. Someone simply edited the videos by cutting out the beginning and end, then adding in a "Coming Winter 2007" at the end. The original space marine video can be found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smzoxku4Ijo

Those videos are from the PSP/DS 40k game, not DoW 2. Hence the year mistake you guys are wondering about.

Was that game any good?

it looked cool. Something about squad combat. Never played it.

Are you sure they came from that game? I don't think it had orks. Just ultramarines vs chaos.

Oh boy, and here I am spending my money on miniatures instead of PC upgrades.

Don't these people know I can't keep up with both Miniature and PC gaming? :(

Squad Command for the DS/PSP never had Orks. These videos aren't for that. I never heard anything for the ngage or whatever the crap that is. These are probably just preliminary videos for DoW2 that might not have been meant for circulation.

P.S. Squad Command was a great game if you're into top down turn based stratagy games like Final Fantasy Tactics or Advance Wars.

Hi all, just wanted to confirm those videos don't have anything to do with DOWII. However, if you are fans of the game, Relic and THQ will be in attendance at all our US Games Days this year if you want to see the latest Games Workshop related things they have up their sleeve.

Chris

Hey, Go-Go! Thanks for the confirmation. Can't wait to see what Relic and THQ bring to the table at the GDs.

I loved the first one... it can only get better right?

I love how Go-Go's nickname has taken on new meaning since Kill Bill. Which is, of course, old news in the world of geekdom, but Go-Go was just recently brought to mind by this and having recently listened to his interview on 40k radio.

Chris, are you playing in any GTs this year? Any of the Indies, maybe, like the Colonial or Crossroads?

I'll be working all the GWGT's and out visiting others like the Quake City Rumble in San Fran (shameless plug in case anyone wants to take me out for sushi/beer).

To be honest, I enjoy putting on a well-run show more than playing in a tournament (3-4 games in a day is just not quite my slice of hobby enjoyment anymore)((waits for quips form coworkers about actually having a completed army to play in said tournament...)).

Er, sorry we hijacked your DOW2 thread.

//come to Games Day to see DOW stuff - there, back on topic!

San Fran, Chris? Got your rainbow sweater vest? lol

That's just dissapointing. Stupid video had me chanting "Orks, Orks, Orks, Orks...."

either way looks like I'll need a new computer soon! Nothing quite so satisfying as watching an orkish horde swarm the runts 'oomiez into the ground. Will certainly be more satisfying to watch with a shiny new engine!



orks, orks, orks, orks, orks, orks, orks, orks....

Saw this on EOW from the Something Awful forums:

Finally Dawn of War 2 has been confirmed!

First details come from a Belgium magazine "pc gameplay #144".

-Two races revealed Orks and Space marines, more to come in future previews.
-Full co-op campaigns for both races, choose the missions you want to do to progress in campaign
-Squad limit cap of 6 squads, unclear if for singleplayer only or for both sp and mp.
-Upgradable gear for squad leaders similar to DC and SS.
-More animations
-Uses Essence engine (as in COH) with better havoc physics
-buildings can be garrisoned
-Proper scale, dreadnoughts are now bigger and can trample on orks.
-Contextual speech, for instance the Ork warlord will exclaim that the enemy leader has a thunder hammer etc.
-Destructable environments.
-lots of violence, parts of men can be ripped off, orks can be crushed etc.
-better AI similar to COH, squads will find immediate cover etc.

More details coming soon!

Release date: early 2009

Also: Dreadnoughts can trample Orks!!!

German dudes, translate this please :

No way! Space Marines and Orks? In DOWII? I'd never believe it...(sorry, just the way that was presented as if it would be surprising to us just...I don't know...guess I've been playing 40k too long.)

Nice pics in the ad, though!

After having so long with so many races to enjoy cuttinmg back to 2 will be hard. Hope they are really fun to play.

Also wonder how many in each expansion.

Hope to see tyranids released relatively early, if only so we don't have to hear people complain about them not being around....

You don't have to cut back to two, they have only revealed two. There are more to come.
