Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/...w_6097578.html
The game looks and sounds really good, but I'm worried that the game won't have a storyline. Does anybody know how well Relic does with storylines for its games? |
It looks very interesting to me, I have played Homeworld pretty much all the way through and I though the plot was pretty nicley done. I know only a little about WH 40K but I do rather like the Tau and I am sad that you will not be able to play as them. Anyways, the game looks good to me and I would like to give it a try.

I was hoping the Tyranids and the Necrons would be in the game, but I guess you can't have everything. Maybe they'll be in an expansion:D
|
Dont worry about storyline dude, when it comes to in depth background and storylines the guys from Gamesworkshop have that covered almost better than anything I can think of. Warhammer and Warhammer 40K have been around for many years and I actually used to buy the books to read from them as I wasnt much of a model collecter heh. Think the game will just need to rely on its Devs ability to create good gameplay and gfx.

Oh and if I get it no question Id want to be Khorne Chaos Marines :D
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! |
:=) :=) :=)
I hope your right; the last couple of Warhammer games I've played haven't been that good. |
I really like the books they make, ive only played a few games as my old roomie was obsessed with the whole thing and not a bad model maker, im bad at it but the books and back story are great! :D
|
apprently there's a trailer knocking around on the internet, can't find a free place to download it.
|
No Imperial Guard :(
will have to make do with Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marines then... oh well /me joins Levi SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! |
Wow, I don't think I've ever met anybody who liked the Imperial Guard.
|
Oh I found a free place to download that trailer, and I got to say it looks great.

GW has some awesome content indeed. I got into WH40K when Rogue Trader was still kicking around, but a couple of years ago my playing (of the table top game) pretty much stopped after I got out of college. Just took too much time to collect, paint and actually play. I didn't really enjoy the painting aspect either.
I had a pretty big Space Wolf army and a decent sized Khorne army. I even wrote up a PC/Palm program for managing the lists, etc. (http://forge.thedigitalfoundry.com). 8) While their table top games are awesome the computer games that have been based on them have completely sucked. I blame the development companies, but you would think GW would have nagged them a bit on the quality assurance side of things. None the less I made myself play all the "GW" games, even back to the original Space Hulk for DOS. I have high hopes for this new one though as the developer is a good one, but we will see. What GW should do is make their table top game into a PC game and they would make a killing, especially with add on sales where they could add the races in expansion packs or something. The problem is I think they are scared if they do that more of the table top players will dissapear, which is very possible. :no: Also, they are working on a Warhammer MMO in case you guys didn't know. |
Since playing AO I alway said I would never play another mmorpg but I could almost make an exception for Warhammer just for the old memories of playing the tabletop game as a kid like many here.
SS of the Warhammer mmorpg don't look great :/ They did have some realy great artists that did most of thier work in the early days, gave it a real gothic feel in place, that seems to be missing from the mmorpg. |
hehe didn't know u were into the ol' Games workshop as well :D
I'd kill for a Warhammer 40k mmorpg but the old style warhammer was always more popular :( |
I only played the the fantsy version of the tabletop game. Used to be a huge painter of the figures though. Won the regional heats a few times for the gold deamon award but was no were good enough to win the whole thing. Played alot fo Epic space marine though but never realy 40k.
|
my Eldar army is gonna pwn u all :D

"and they will know.. no fear" - In my sig, Captain of the Ultramarine Terminators moto :) ( Though I never liked their Blue armor, was always a Dark Angels Spacemarine fan)
p.s Imperial guard = zerg rush heh and Eldar do suck :p |
I've become fond of playing as Tau, they fit my playing style or something cause I keep winning with them *shrug*. At any rate GW has done a great job of making a classic game, creating awesome back story, and making kick ass models (to bad you have to paint the fkers though :P)! :D
|
Ur all insane, Eldar is without doubt the best 40k army if u know how to play em
