Relic needs to watch this and remind themselves wtf people want from them. They practically invented this type of RTS and somehow lost their way after DoW2. So before they fuck AoE3 up as well, WATCH THIS AND LEARN Mad

This is by far my most anticipated RTS. Indeed Relic should learn from this and do something special with COH3. COH3 is coming though, I hope they don't rehash the graphics like they did with COH2.

When I first saw the info about this game I was hoping it would be turnbased. I hope this more like CoH1 rather than CoH2 tho.

Which features are you missing?

I can only think of a Formation-feature. But that might be possible by holding and turning the movement button in the desired direction.

Looks like the same well-received IH game over the 1-2 years its been hyped. Why are we getting people jumping off the wagon now? Not quite sure its been made more dumb-down? Not at all surprised as the modern gamer doesn't like.. complex things.. Razz

I might repeat the things said above but...from those videos, it looks just like a mod for CoH with different skins. I didn't see absolutely anything different sadly... I like Scythe very much but that game doesn't seem to be bringing anything new to the genre at this point.

@video

There's a... faint identity in there, but it's damn hard to see it because of too much COH slapped on to it.

Really like those art pictures. I do hope those giant robots have something to do with the game, and not just a cutscene thing. Well, i guess there might be missions where you need to defeat one or something, but it would be cool to controll one as well Very Happy

I guess you haven't watched the video posted a couple posts above yours Smile

It literally shows the robots being used...

and it looks like dawn of war 3 in an 1920 alternate setting (think CoH mixed with DoW3).

Anyway, I think I rather buy the board game Smile

How does this look like DoW3? Because there is a mech with a shooting ability? CoH 1&2 are clearly the inspiration behind this game. Cover system, randomized shooting, actual suppression and the way resources work, all of these are pretty much trademarks of CoH. You won't find these mechanics in DoW3.
It looks dumbed down, that's for sure and I highly doubt this will change. It's clearly going to focus on battles between small number of squads, that way the controller might be able to handle the game. I doubt it will have the gameplay depth of DoWII to make up for the rest.

You know that Dow came before CoH, right? So if anything, CoH is Dow with WW2 skins Smile

And this is like DoW3, because both have these OP Hero/Robot units, around which the gameplay seems to focus.

It all seems very rudimentary at this point. The encounters are made up of a handful of units in the video. The squad composition is a must because of the controller - its the only valid option when you dont have an input that can pin point and quickly select something. The units seem to have a single ability - to throw grenades. Again to make it manageable for controllers. The economy is probably gonna be simple and automated in such a way that it might as well not even be there. Its a damn shame consoles are involved, because every choice in the gamemaking process on this game is going to be "is it feasible on a controller? Does it play good on a controller?"

They just launched the kickstarter and one of the guys involved said the goal is to make a "calm" RTS. That goal exists because thats the only way to make it playable on controllers. Its gonna be a baby RTS. It cant be anything else once they limited themselves with a controller

While the two games share the same base combat, they play quite differently and have evolved into different games.

The difference between Dawn of War 3 and the rest of Relic's games isn't the focus around heroes.
Dawn of War has powerful units and heroes. Hell, even Company of Heroes has powerful units like tanks which require special criteria for deployment (Tiger and IS are just a few examples). There are even nameless heroes in the game (commanders who can call for air strikes, artillery barrages, smoke screens, etc.). It's how these mechanics are combined into the grand scheme of things which is the gameplay that define these games.


On a different note. The developers have launched a Kickstarter campaign in which they ask PC gamers for money to finance their consolized strategy game, lovely!
