Geil.

Ich sag schon seit Jahren, dass es das Spiel geben sollte.

Zur Auswahl stehen Space Marines, Orks, Astra Militarum und Eldar. Also wie DoW4 kein Chaos dabei.

Hoffentlich überschneidet es sich nicht mit DoW. Zumindest die gezeigte Schlacht sah DoW4 schon sehr ähnlich.

Zwei neue Trailer von der Tokyo Games Show:

Quote from Scoti17

Die Folge muss komplett Metall Hardrock gewesen sein.

die hatten letztes Jahr schon Feuerschwanz eingeladen.

Aber die Rundfunkbeiträge haben bei arte und 3 Sat sehr schöne Konzertmitschnitte von den großen Festivals gemacht

Auf jeden Fall, Arte hat einen Haufen Mitschnitte vom Hellfest und anderen Festivals.

Mein Rundfunkbeitrag hart am Arbeiten

Er erzählt zwar ein paar interessante Sachen, aber 2 Stunden muss das Ding nun auch nicht lang sein.

Es gibt nach wie vor Menschen, die sich inhatlich mit Dawn of War beschäftigen und einer von denen hat eine Tier List erstellt. Da kommen zwar keine Tiere drin vor, vielleicht ist es trotzdem informativ

Ohne es jetzt aus eigener Erfahrung zu wissen, aber von dem was man so liest wurde der MP sehr stiefmütterlich behandelt.

Allgemein scheint Multiplayer nicht der größte Fokus für die Entwickler zu sein. Vielleicht ändert sich das noch mit der Zeit, da Multiplayer ja mit am meisten das Spiel am Leben hält.

Neuer Patch.

Seitdem es das Steam Next Fest gibt, gibt es wieder mehr Demos, die waren zuvor großteils ausgestorben.

Uhh, das ist was feines.

Ich bin über die Entwicklung, dass es wieder Demos gibt echt glücklich. Praise GabeN!

Lebt der noch? Der Link in der Steamgruppe ist jedenfalls kaputt.

Auf SKong freue ich mich auch, vielleicht schaffe ich es bis zum Release sogar nochmal den ersten Teil durchzuspielen. Dass das Spiel im Gamepass enthalten sein wird setzt dem Ganzen dann die Krone auf.

Davon abgesehen war DoW 4 mein Highlight schlechthin. Sonst waren eher Kleinigkeiten dabei, mehr Brotkrumen für RE9 und viele Trailer mit nicht viel Gameplay.

Hab mal ein paar Videos geschaut, bin jetzt positiver gestimmt, sie scheinen viel richtig zu machen (wollen).

Die beiden fand ich am interessantesten. Ein großer DoW-Fan und das Interview mit den Entwicklern war auch gut.

Quote from Supremeghost

Ernüchternder Trailer für mich.

Die Optik sagt mir überhaupt nicht zu und irgendwie hab ich so den Eindruck, dass sie wieder auf Drei Fraktionen (zumindest beim Launch setzen), da nur 3 Fraktionen bisher.

Ausser, die nehmen Mechanikum als seperate Fraktion rein, aber das fände ich dann doch ein wenig zu überzogen.

Allgemein war aber das gezeigte sehr ernüchternd gewesen für mich.

Ad-Mech ist die 4. Fraktion.

Die sind schon etwas neuer, aber auch ziemlich beliebt Dank ihrer eigenen Spiele. Überzogen finde ich das nicht, eher überraschend, aber im positiven Sinne.

Allgemein hat sich 40K selbst seit dem letzten DoW stark verändert, die Fraktionen von damals wird man so nicht mehr finden.

Ich möchte das nicht madig reden bevor ich nicht einen längeren, zusammenhängenden Ausschnitt aus dem Spiel gesehen habe, aber der Ersteindruck aus den kurzen Szenen war bei näherer Betrachtung schon etwas ernüchternd.

Man darf aber auch nicht vergessen, dass wenn es um Dawn of War geht, wir eine der anspruchreichsten Gruppen sein dürften.

Wie immer aber: "Hype is the first step on the Road to Disappointment."

Nun ist es offiziell, RIP DoW III, die hattest nie eine Chance.

Hier das Reric-Statement aus dem Artikel:

Quote

“While Dawn of War III has a dedicated player base, it didn’t hit the targets we were expecting at launch, and it hasn’t performed the way we had hoped since. It’s been tough for us as professionals who want to make great games for our players, and for us as people who care a lot about what we do.

When a game underperforms, plans need to change. With Dawn of War III, we simply don’t have the foundation we need to produce major content. We’re working in close partnership with SEGA and Games Workshop to determine the best course of action, while shifting focus to other projects within our portfolio. “

Bekanntermaßen arbeitet Reric ja an AoE 4, mal sehen was das wird.

Obacht, es sind wohl noch kleinere Fehler in den Patchnotes. So wurden den Dire Avengers nicht etwa Schaden gestrichen, sondern Reichweite.

Im Großen und Ganzen finde ich den Patch zumindest vom Ansehen her gut, viel Communityfeedback wurde verarbeitet. So wurde True Damage aus dem T1 größtenteils verbannt, Tacs wurden stark gebufft, Eldar haben diverse Nerfs an ihrem T1 Spiel bekommen und Orks wurden auch etwas gebufft.
Wie genau sich die Änderungen an Türmen, Ressourcen und Bevölkerungsverbrauch auswirken kann ich nur ahnen, aber vom schnellen testen her kann ich sagen, dass man viel mehr Req. als vorher hat (mehr Comebackpotential) und dass die Türme im 1v1 erschreckend schwach sind. Für alle Feinde der Türme ist das eine gute Nachricht, da der Turm jetzt noch viel verwundbarer ist.

Mit SyncKills verliert aber völlig die Kontrolle.

"Wieso läuft mein Squad nicht?" *einzelner Heini muss noch auf nem Ork rumhopsen* "Oh, deshalb. Und jetzt sind sie tot. Prima"

Das mit den Effekten kommt nicht so oft vor, so lang gehen die Spiele eher selten. Und wenn doch, da kann man sich dran gewöhnen. Wenn nicht, bleibt halt nur "git gud" zu sagen.

Quote from Supremeghost

Aber da muss man schon gewissen Skill haben.
Das, was ich so gehört/gelesen habe macht eher den Eindruck,d ass die meisten nicht wissen, wie sie mit den "nutzlos" Elites spielen sollen.
Daher lassen sie sie meistens aussen vor und nehmen sich der 9er Elites ins Deck.

Dafür, dass die Spieler zu doof sind die Einheiten einzusetzen kann aber Relic nix. Ich stimme dem aber soweit zu, dass es einige Meta-Choices gibt (Scorpions und Stormboyz im 1v1), die zu stark sind.

Quote from Supremeghost

Fangen wir bitte nicht mit so einer Argumentation an, sonst kommt als nächstes die Frage, weshalb SM mit CSM und Tyraniden mit irgendwem zusammen arbeiten anstatt die zu nommen.
Da auch nicht endügltig geklärt ist, was der Power Core nun tatsächlich ist kann man sich auch im Kopf nen passenden Fluff bauen (das Ding ist nen STK und die Marines sichern es im Auftrag des AdMech/der Inquisition).

Quote from Supremeghost

Sofern man einen großen Vorteil hat, kann man die Türme tatsächlich innerhalb der ersten 10 Minuten schrotten (notfalls mit nem Elite zum tanken, Gabe und Gorgutz machen das gut). Und Verluste kriegt man durch das Kopfgeld der Türme gut wieder rein.
Harrasment läuft immer noch wie in DoW2, Map abnehmen, Ressourcen schrotten und den Vorteil ausbauen. Im übrigen haben auch die VPs das Spiel in DoW2 "unnätig" verzögert.
Beim Spielen und zusehen bei Anderen kann ich sagen, dass die Spiele bislang sehr unterschiedlich ablaufen.

Quote from Supremeghost

Kommt aber hin. Orks haben es wegen fehlendem True Damage ein bisschen schwerer, haben mit Tankbustaz aber eine gute Option.

Quote from Supremeghost

Ich finde, dass es zu bombastisch wirkt; allem voran die Effekte.
Klar mag ich es, wenn viel in der Schlacht los ist, aber dabei muss ich auch die Kontrolle haben.

Für mehr Kontrolle sein, sich aber gleichzeitig Synckills wünschen, klingt spannend
