Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition
Steam page claims that all the old mods will work, cool
BOREALUM
An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.
double-dipping motherfuckers
But will the EXE be 64-bit so mods have access to more than 4 gigs of RAM?
I COMMAND IN THE NAME OF THE EMPRAH
Yes they confirmed that
HE WHO STANDS WITH ME SHALL BE MY BROTHER
Are we redeeming sirs?
it looks the fucking same...
That interpolated 60 fps OP looks like ass though
And that's a good thing. I'd much rather have this over them completely changing out it looks. Models are the same but the textures are the same ones but higher res.
Do you hear the voices too?
It looks like they made new models for infantry but did shitty upscaled textures for everything else.
Yes, it is supposed to. I just want more active players.
All it needs to be.
So its confirmed you dont get a discount or the enhanced edition for free if you already own the game kinda gay desu
but i can just play the original
I actually look forward to re-playing the campaign.
Great voice acting.
Why would you have any anticipation for DoW4 when Relic went to shit years ago? Most of the original talent left that studio before 3.
Not without mods crashing the game constantly you can't. This is for people still playing the original with mods
WE MUST KILL!
But can you play the original without mods running out of memory?
I can't believe it.
Drukhari and Sisters Sororitas better be reworked/buffed.
interpolated
YOU JUST KNOW
DOW4 SOON
I don't want to pay extra to get some higher resolutions, I already have all DoW 1 games on GOG and Steam.
I FEAR NO EVIL FOR IAM FEAR INCARNATE
Why don't you actually read the thread first before posting?
This remaster is so low quality they should be giving it out for free.
But what about the awful unit collision and pathfinding that makes playing guard and orks awful?
Now on a 64-bit platform to support the ongoing efforts of the modding community, the Definitive Edition also includes an integrated Mod Manager and is compatible with over 20 years of lovingly crafted Community Mods.
wow
i dont give a fuck about mods
Another cashgrab
Thats your problem.
Haven't played DOW in a long time, question - does this remaster actually improve the base game's graphics or content more than what mods can achieve for old DOW?
Yeah I'm really hoping they attempt to fix this and the issues with Soulstorm
Blud Rehvans need to return bigly and get an official 11th edition army book.
Maybe they'll escort either Girlyman or Lion to reunite them or something.
Well then don't buy the remaster
Wish they had done something about the boring ground textures
READ THE FUCKING THREAD AND STEAM PAGE
But the original works just fine? Why would I want this? And didn't they just update it recently with Anniversary Edition? Do I have to buy this shit again?
necron skimmer units have the worst pathing by far, they were like fast vehicles ought to path better than slow vehicles right lolol WRONG
This makes me wish I still had a gaming PC. I only really ever played left 4 dead and DOW on steam. Would be cool if they released it for the switch 2 since the joycons are also mice, but I get that that may be too big of a leap for a boomer rts.
youtube comments eviscerating this soulless cash grab
Coming right after oblivion was a bad move.
OUR DEATHS
WILL BE MAGNIFICENT
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO
Will the Soulstorm campaign still be terrible
Will the flying units still be shit
Per discord reply to this question from Relic CM:
Don't think so. We also have not announced the price, but it will be competitive.
Lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooo, you have to buy the same shit again, for full price. For AI upscaled textures and 64bit executable.
Does it include Dark Crusade, AKA the only good Dawn of War?
buy this game you already own
to play mods that already work
with graphical quality already achievable
HARD PASS
hate to be dick on first day, but it looks pretty low effort
Did they fix pathing?
apparently yeah. its probably the biggest draw. modders can do the rest
I literally JUST got replaying the entire DoW series from DoW1 to DoW2: Retribution and they all still hold up remarkably well. The only thing I'd want for Dark Crusade is the ability to zoom farther, but I'm almost certain there's a mod for it if I bothered to look.
Will they keep Jeremy Soule soundtrack?
If this is a free remaster like stalker original trilogy I'm fine with it since I have the steam version which I haven't been bothered to mod properly to get working. I'm not paying for this. They didn't even update weather effects like they did in stalker it's like a GOG re-release.
You should play dow3 and see the ways dow 1 just can't compete without a real remake.
Let's be real if they had done it like Warcraft Reforged with new models people would have gone apeshit
JEREMY FUCKING SOVLE
Yes but new = bad fags are a plague.
upgrading this and Space Marine 1 when the games already got Anniversary Editions
Ready to Unleash ELEVEL BARRELS OF HELL
can you link me the high res + widescreen mod for og dow please?
They made the right decision remastering it how they did. Now we just need to see if they fixed the pathfinding and aren't charging an outrageous amount.
Thank god they didn't. Just an upscale and some small QoL changes is all that it needs.
40k Total War when?
LET ME PREACH HIS NAME
imagine 9 years of asking for a remaster of the original and you get a retexture
i dislike you both. i want my games pretty and modern with juicy explosions and non flat terrain
Never ever.
It's perfect, what's the problem now?
Prepare to be surprised
I wonder if they fixed the camera and the keyboard layout?
WE ARE UNDER FIRE
40k Doesn't fit how Total War plays, you'll be waiting until your deathbed
Why don't you interpolate your ass with my dick instead.
stop posting these pls, they're in my head, it's disrespectful
there are actually people who can't play games if they don't have modern graphics that don't appreciate artistic talent
Grim.
IT IS THE BAAAANEBLAAAAADE!
$60 for upscaled textures
no improvements to pathfinding
I wouldn't pay more than $10 for this low effort "remaster".
They increased the draw distance and the camera
zoomer trannies seething
dow chads happy
perfect
game is already good, already exists, and is playable on current hardware
giga-autists: NOOOOOOOOOO MAKE THE WHOLE ENTIRE GAME AGAIN FOR ME!!! IT'S OLD!!!
What the fuck?
After lotr and star wars.
graphics
okay but what about the pathing and unit collision? moving anything bigger than 3 squads sucks monkey balls and an entire army is hell
The rosters seemed so much bigger as a kid. But in retrospect that's all that was needed. And when I think of the kind of retarded shirt GW have come up with since in terms of new units and vehicles ... shudders. For me this era was peak Warhammer 40k.
A game about big armies of squads of infantry, vehicles, and monsters getting smashed together doesn't fit Total War
Retarded or just pretending?
We are getting those DE's for free and the originals unlisted so it is a bonus.
Now i want DoW II receiving the same with better Multiplayer and proper modding tools this time.
In fact, just give the Non CR Patch DoW 2 campaign where cyrus was op, you could cap both bases during defense missions and Captain Thule had dialogue as dreadnought when they spoke of the Eldar not being fools during the Meridian Campaign.
LAND RAIDER DEPLOYED!
We can only hope
they need to fix the balance on the campaign expansions
Sounds good. There was a mod that did that which was pretty much mandatory to play the old game in PVP.
agreed, all of this should've been free upgrade for original owners when they converted it to this so-called "anniversary" editions
going to be honest, i thought i already owned the definitive edition.
Nope, guess it was the anniversary edition.
um, hm.
We are getting those DE's for free
says who
We are getting those DE's for free
lol
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
I COMMAND IN THE NAME OF THE EMPEROR
Lol Wraithguard used to look so silly.
I kinda wish to know what was in Relic's fucking mind to prune half of Vanilla DoW2's Campaign instead of keep as it is and justify the downgrade in CR.
Just as Falcon delivered Anaris to Eldanesh, we bring warriors to the front ...
Pretty sad! I don't play anything more modern than picrel
The silliness had its charm.
the one game in that stream that looked like it was going to be 40k total war was just mobile slop
allergic to money it seems
kino look
This, call me when they make the Knarloc actually useful.
And fix the glitch where you have a 1 in whatever chances to have the enemy AI start vomiting enemies non-stop even on lower difficulties.
I'm not buying remakes/remasters
Make a real sequel and make it not suck as much dow3 while you are at it
thank you
store.steampowered.com
Boltgun Typing of the Dead for free
Nice
Multiple squads of 5 to 10 models fighting in skirmish format instead of rank and flank, expecting to traverse complicated pathing (city ruins) and to be able to fire guns and melee without AI complications, fliers and priority objectives instead of just killing.
Have you never played a total war game? It'll be an absolute shitshow. TWW has been out for almost 10 years and to this very DAY artillery will chase units into melee if they cannot find a firing angle.
40k total war
How would that even work?
All races on the same planet? Or using the whole galaxy as a map?
SPESS MUHREENS
BATTLE BRUTHAS
We got the anniversary upgrades for free, and the original game is getting delisted and merged into the DE as double package, so is the same situation with id and the nightdive remasters
By the way, Quake 3 and 4 are getting hinted by them at discord for quakecon, so one of the 2 is getting crossplay update for console
I can't fix the ultra low textures on PC without going to a much lower game resolution so it's hard to appreciate now
People who actually like the game stay winning.
Your modern games are on UE5 programmed by pajeets and will run like dogshit
someone should remake dow2 too...
i just hope that instead random nonsense, you will have to cite random passages from codex astartes
Either or both, no reason why it wouldn’t work
Zoomers will know of the memes
youtube.com
Dunno how do i feel lads
Zoomers were continuously typing "L" in the livestream when DOW 1 DE trailer was aired. I doubt that they would even play it.
do zoomers even play RTS games
Zoomers grew up playing DoW
t. me and all my zoomer friends are looking forward to Unification not imploding the game now
not a free update
lame and jewish
We got the anniversary upgrades for free
those were literally just repackaging the separate steam entries into a single one, anon-kun....
Those were bots anon.
How are you enjoying your first time seeing a Games Workshop product?
I'd rather they not try to erase the originals in my Steam library in case they fuck this up, thank you very much.
Im gonna defend and justfiy low effort slop because its my based and edgy 40k!!!
No IM FUCKING TIRED OF REMASTERS AND REMAKES FUCKING UP THE ORIGINAL ARTISTIC VISION IN GAMES I LIKE YOU STUPID FUCKING NIGGER
fix the fucking camera
25gb
lol
Lmao no
It looks like flaming shit
*revs 200 dps chainsaw with malicious intent*
do I get this for free if I already own it?
x64 will help dem mods doe
I like the ones with fun campaigns
so pretty much just DoW and WC3
MY SOCKS PROVE MY WORTH!!
do I get this for free if I already own it?
lol lmao
fucking NIGGERS WHY
Exactly why I'm buying this day one if it isn't over $20
No IM FUCKING TIRED OF REMASTERS AND REMAKES FUCKING UP THE ORIGINAL ARTISTIC VISION
Putting in effort into updating something necessarily means bastardizing the game
Shut the fuck up you autistic mongoloid, you drooling fucking sperg
Doesn't look good
Still gonna buy & play
Kek
Because it's a cashgrab, Anon.
Remasters are easy shekels but they should have done this a couple of years ago.
If Relic returned to 40k it'll be years until DoW4 if it exists.
Pretty much this. CA needs new engine for that and even then you will have to wait at least half a decade (of buying DLCs) before you get the more interesting factions to play
we are never going to get new games are we
It's at least $30, probably $40
you want new games?
YOU REALLY WANT IT?
Being hard it's not an excuse. These people are suppose to be professionals.
If Relic
"If Relic" i wont look or touch whatever the fuck it is they do
at least new games have a chance of pushing the boundaries/something new. Even if DOW2 and 3 were trash, if they announce 4 then MAYBE we would get something new and novel. I was playing DOW1 before fucking puberty, and I'm 33 now. Are we truly never going to just move forward, or are devs so fucking afraid of making anything?
It would have a $2 discount for original game owners. Thats pretty generous of our jewish overlords if you ask me.
it has widescreen support and 4k ui thats not microscopic
thank
We gonna see the return of boreale in HD
They're genuinely incompetent, they haven't been able to fix units getting stuck on siege gates for 8 years, how are they going to do city warfare that actually works to some degree?
You put their job on the line. When the boss says to make a 40k Total War game, that's what you do. It's a job. They are getting paid to. If they can't just fucking hire someone else. The company is dying. No time for feelings.
They're genuinely incompetent
Competency is not the problem, do you really think they even had anyone so much as look at that code in 8 years?
Impossible. Companies these days can't help but turn successful franchises into garbage.
Poor homeworld.
Just because you recognise the old memes doesn't mean you know how to use them
Sins of a solar empire and star wars empire at war did similar engine updates for free. It's a shame they would paywall that. Let graphics fags buy the "HD" edition.
I am not paying for this. It doesn't even look good.
I also don't plan on paying for it until it's 80% off.
Why didn't Gays Workshop add a Blood Ravens army book back in the 2000s?
This Chapter was more popular than Ultramarines back then, up until the early 2010s
The only good thing about this is that I don't have to perform fucking hex edits just to get widescreen now, seriously what the fuck Relic. You made a PC GAME in the fucking 2000s and you had to use a fucking hex editor to get widescreen?
t I don't have to perform fucking hex edits just to get widescreen now,
dawn of war is also being added to the gog collection so it might get updated with those kind of fixes anyway.
All i know is that ur still a fag
its probably the biggest draw.
There's been a 4gb patch for the originals for like two decades now. This is just milking after they already released Anniversary.
THE ANGRY MARINES WILL RISE AGAIN!!!
Zoomers will learn about memes they have created themselves
lol ok
I'm da BIGGEST so I'm da BOSS
Dawn of War is GenZ core. It's ridiculous that any other generation would even try to claim it.
devs said they ain't touching pathfinding in fear of fucking it up even further
Probably for the best. AoE 2 DE panthfinding was fucked with and now it's unplayable shit.
Retarded or just pretending?
says the reddit spacer who has literally never played an actual total war game before
Zoomers would have been young kids or babies when DoW came out. DoW was Millennial core as it was aimed at the teen and young adult demographic which were the Millennials.
It's a 100% a millennial game you fuck tard
Is it like a sex thing being a facetious retard? Like do you need it in order to get hard?
Not a single zoomer on earth has the attention span to play an RTS. Their brains are fried from tiktok bro
WHO DAT TALKIN'?
Better come with a better army painter
The game is on promo on gog anyway
Some mods still run out of memory even with the 4GB patch and 32-bit EXE's can't access any more memory than that. This is a problem with a lot of games, not just DoW.
venerable dreadnaught tier
got into 40k before video games
veteran tier
got into 40k due to chaos gate
oldfag tier
got into 40k due to dawn of war 1
newfag tier
got into 40k due to dawn of war 2
heretical zoomer to be executed on sight
got into 40k post-dawn of war 2 or past 6th ed
true
I just hallucinated playing dark crusade in 2007
Anniversary Editions were a literal nothingburger that didn't change anything at all. Just gave expansions for everyone and debloated steam store
think about buying dawn of war 1 and 2 for awhile
2's DLC situation was weird
were never priced to their historical lows
Last year they fix this mess by bundling all the games into one package
It will now NEVER go to their historical lows again
Im simply never going to buy it now especially with this shit going on
got everything dirt cheap in a bundle back when THQ was going out of business
feels good
If I get this for free having already bought every DoW1 and 2, I will get excited.
But otherwise I will not get excited for AI upscaled textures and no mention of anything else.
I got everything back when companies would do complete packs of literally everything they had, there was no dlcs then
Based and same, I still remember getting all the THQ games for $28
Here's hoping they'll remove that stupid limit on unique units, like how it was in the first DOW.
We could have total war wh 40k
we could have dow 4 that returns to the roots of being pure rts
we could have more wh40k rpg's
we could have something that focuses on any of the xeno races
we could have some sort of wh40k open world game, maybe with space exploration
we could have something AAA that dives deep into horus heresy
and instead we get the same game rereleased again so you can watch rough edges and flat grasslands for 60$
because they couldn't totally release a patch for the first one to improve things
but muh 64x mod support
so a patch it is....
Do i get AoE2 DE if I bought it in the 2000's?
2004 game
wasn't played by the generation that was 17 in 2004
I AM KAELA MENSHA KHAINE
BY MY BLOODY HAND THE ENEMY SHALL NOT LIVE PAST THIS DAY
only cucks play as servants of the emperor
You don't get it anon, they are holding the series hostage unless you open up your wallet, and even then they still won't do anything since the only people who care that much about mods is minuscule.
Witness YOUR DOOOOOOOMMM!!
looks like they increased the contrast and upscaled the textures looks really lazy
We could have total war wh 40k
year after year you absolute retard niggers keep hoping for this and year after year people tell you, in no uncertain terms, that you are retarded niggers
on the off chance you'll ever get a 40k game on a grand scale, it's not gonna be a Total War title, because it's not gonna play like a Total War title, because it's Warhammer 40k
god primaris dreds are shit
Kids play videogames, shocking I know
It's GW anon, they'll nickel and dime 40Kfans because they know they can get away with it
Another newfag who doesn't actually know what Reddit Spacing is
Embarrassing
It's quite literally the NPC faction in the non-meme sense. No free will, no agency, no other purpose than what """they""" tell you. The factions most free to do what they want in order are Orks, Eldar and Chaos. The rest non-Imperials are in the middle, and at the extreme bottom in the cuck tier are imperials.
All the stuff you have to type is relevant to 40K
All those cool quotes
But they don`t know that only Russian version has memed Kroot`s quote
"threatening growl"
the voice actor, without any context, simply said the line "menacing growl" instead of growling menacingly
day 1 pirate
TW
Would flop
Dow4
Take off nostalgia goggles
Everything else
Wishful thinking
Do not trifle with me, worm.
Eliphas bros we are so back.
ALL WHO LOVE LIFE, FEAR THE REAPER
hardest working russian
Forces of chaos… BOW to me.
That's why in the game the kroots make a bird-like noise and then at a random moment the line "threatening growl" just sounds, top kek
Wait whose line is that?
eldar dark reapers
Good.
BUT MUH MODELS AND CHANGES
Fuck off. Dumbass.
Am I the only one who thinks DoW1 era 40k was the best? Not sure where it coincided with the tabletop. 4th edition maybe? There was a certain sense of heroism to the space marines. I feel like it didn't take itself too seriously, but seriously enough so you could really get into the world. Now I feel the setting has been, for the lack of a better word, suffered a Marvelification. It's become capeshit. I want to like it like I used to, but my heart's just not in it anymore. It's just lame now.
I understand MORE than you could possibly know."
I feel that too but I'm always wary of such reflections because they might just be nostalgia.
real human beans ITT getting mad that anons don't want to pay for a 20 year old game they already own
Shut the fuck up you braindead consoomers. It's perfectly natural for people to not want to pay for the same product. You have severe autism, go and get diagnosed.
Don't know why they changed his voice to fucking blum in dow 2, ruined the whole character
they unironically made Araghast a fun character and they Söyliphas LE FAN FAVORITE(not the guy from Dark Crusade) cucked him
dreadful
Pay
Lol?
At the very least I think primaris marines are an aesthetic mess and nu-crons are an abomination.
It's not nostalgia, the setting was flanderized to shit, that's a fact.
whoa...
Nobody is getting mad over people not wanting to pay for it. People are getting mad because of retards complaining about it being not being LEL EPIC UNREAL REMAKE
There's valid complaints, like how this should have been a free patch update with the option of playing with the original visuals or the upscaled ones. Bitching that they didn't make everything shiny and GRIMDARK isn't a valid complaint.
Man they really overused Blum in DoW2. Cyrus, Martellus, Eliphas, and a couple of orks and chaos space marines in in-mission transmissions. At least they got their money's worth I guess.
It's said among Anon Babble antediluvians that 40k used to have a pretty strong comical vein, it absolutely didn't take it self seriously, and that supposedly begun to change slowly as more americans got their hands into it.
Looking back now it was probably scapegoating, this process has happened to literally everything as more and more people throughtout the years abandon grass in favoar of adopting brands and products as identities, and people can't joke about things they're insecure about.
milked him harder than the whores he spent the money on
thank the kike voice acting mafia, worst chaos lord
dawn of war is a 2004 game with a 2009 sequel, people born in 1997 and onwards have absolutely played it. Considering that a full 40k army is upwards of $2000 it was a lot of kids first experience engaging with the setting outside of books and shit, I now have a full Eldar army (not bought from GW lmao I got all my wraithlords for literally fifteen bucks secondhand) but for a long time I couldn't afford to play mainline 40k but did shit like WHFRP and Dark Heresy as TTRPGs and enjoyed Dawn of War
Am I the only one
Fuck no anon, but deep down you knew that when you posted. Primaris marines can all go die
Is TWW3 with a buy now?
Got into WH via vidya
Got into WH via tabletop
I wonder which group is bigger
I'm running out of things to still enjoy.
dawn of war 2 is better... but you never get to play as chaos
Sadly it released just before many factions got great remodels.
The former for sure.
Wargaming is a really niche and expensive hobby. From Dawn of War onwards 40k blew up with vidya only secondaries and it’s been that way ever since.
ORKZ ORKZ ORKZ ORKZ
Modern 40K IS capeshit the era of 40K DoW1 was released in was the last era with soul
7th edition was when 40k ended for me
when they released bigger marines aka primarines I knew it's over
Wot da zog is happenin' in tis thredd?
get the basegame and creamapi the rest
CA doesn't deserve a fucking dime other than that
long live khorne
before primaris there were already like 4 types of bigger marines, their vehicles are all super gay tho
dawn of war 2 is better... but yo
you'll have a bad time if you play against me
I don’t hate all of modern 40k, mostly just marines which unfortunately is 99% of what you ever see. The new eldar shit is pretty cool and I’m a admechfag and will always be happy about them having their own army even if the mini range is kind of a mixed bag aesthetically.
you'll have a bad time if you play against me
WITNESS YOUUUR DOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Wake me up when they remove replenishing units mid combat.
I actually like centurions
and I would be ok with primarines being just updated minis
but primarines being better marines that were created by cawl in super secrecy with literal legions of them stashed away for a rainy day are too much
It kinda looks like they just backported the DoW2 space marine models and upgraded some of textures and lighting. I was hoping for more.
I'll play some games with you. fucking retard
What's with all of the 40k announcements all of a sudden? There's a movie on the works right? Maybe it's some marketing campaign
I'll play some games with you. fucking retard
definitive edition
it's just upscaled textures
wooooow... so cool
3rd and early 4th (keyword early) were apex 40k and DoW1's existence is proof of that
aw yeah
skulls is a yearly event dumb dumb
Gee anon you really know how to make friends
DOW2? Whats this DOW2 you speak of? I think you may be referring to Soulstorm but that was just the last expansion of Dawn of War, silly.
why were krorks so big anyway?
lol
uuuu
They do a big summer showcase every year. Like E3 but for Warhammer. They have a big fucking game sale too so go get some cheap games at like 80% brother
DoW1 was released just before the Horus Heresy series ruined everything
Trailer shows bootleg guardsman the Tarturus campaign instead of the actual guardsman from Winter Assault
I WILL HAVE SOMEONE'S HEAD FOR THIS!
Imo WH40k is still ok as long as you stay away from Space Marines marysuism.
that’s all 40k is
HH buckbroke the whole setting, its mahvel’s primarchvengers all the way down
i assume it will include all the expansions
I FEEL THE EMPEROR'S BLESSING RETURN!
This basically makes it worth it alone, finally apocalypse autism mods will actually be able to run
I'd rather have this than dow4
My problem is I cannot pet that kot.
i sure hope you can choose which expansion you want to play as. i never liked soulstorm because of the shitty air vehicles+new factions and prefer dark crusade.
DoW 1 is kino but also a complete mess plot wise
Alpha legion being involved in chaos demon shenanigans
A sorcerer trying to appease khorne of all gods
Alpha legion acting more like the black legion (who its clear should have been the antagonists, hence why they switched in DoW2)
I see, didn't know that
I think most people from my age bracket who I know who're into warhammer got into it via DoW. Just how it is.
Doesn’t matter. Victory was claimed for the Blud Revhens
just started working on an army from around that time period
Sweet.
What chapter?
Relic had a Khornate Sorceror fetish and nobody stopped them
Dawn of War
Sorceror Sindri wants to unleash the Maledictum daemon which is Khornate
Winter Assault
World Eaters Chaos Lord Crull uses Sorcerors to hypnotize Guardsmen PoWs into sacrificial pits
Space Marine
Sorceror Lord Nemeroth uses Bloodletters as part of his army
Dawn of War 2
Librarian Azariah Kyras allies with the Khornate Maledictum Daemon and tries to sacrifice his subsector to Khorne
Astral Claws
For whatever reason I thought it was the word bearers in WA.
It's worse than I thought. WA is still kino though
Bro...What the *actual* FUCK am I getting into?
I wonder if they'll unfuck the tooltips because the information they provide can be MASSIVELY wrong
The former. I would love to try the Tabletop, but I don't have that kind of money to blow to keep up minis and stuff. If anything I'd probably buy a funny Skaven Mini and call it there.
Vidya is easier. And getting in via "Warhammer Left 4 Dead" with Vermin and Darktide did the trick.
That's actually pretty cool
actual warhammer 40k from the olden times
I dunno how basedhammer fans will react.
there’s a chaos tech that increases heavy bolter damage by 50% without telling you
Nice minis anon
Actually I painted these Blood Ravens recently and decided these would be my Kill Team out of my love for DoW in my teens
SSSSSSSINDRIIIIIIII
The key problem with HH is that it solidified the backstory, which sounds good in theory until you remember that the backstory was deliberately written as apocryphal accounts from biased sources.
Trying to hammer out a canonical series of events just turned everyone into a colossal retard.
HH1 Black Books are pure cinema
Or Guide saying it boosts damage when it actually boosts accuracy. It's funny when Eldar CPU uses it on Rangers, who have 100% accuracy by default
The tabletop game hasn't looked like this for decades; why would anyone want to support modern GW?
I love dow but this shit feels so fucking pointless and unnecessary.
AI upscaling is disgusting and lazy by virtue, the new glossy effects look like shyte, and bigger draw distance could be modded into the game already.
All this doesn't warrant that system requirement listed on Steam.
They proudly showcase that they fucked up the necron stronghold skybox. The green tinted cavern depths were towards the pyramid where you plant the bomb, the bright light coming from the cave entrance was towards your base.
Literally the only thing Dawn of War needed was unstretched HUD elements for widescreen. That's it, and that should have been done with a free patch.
Fuck remasters, remakes and whatever shitty cashgrab 'definitive' editions all devs are doing nowadays. I hid the 3 enhanced Stalkers from my library because I don't fucking need them. I have the superior original games.
10/10 game.
can fix all of that shit and much more with ini edits bro
new to pc gaming?
BROTHER I AM PINNED HERE
love those thieving little fellas
Can they stop Fucking with the original Games with dogshit remasters and focus on making GOOD GAMES FOR ONCE???
Why are warhammerfags like this?
Just enjoy old things with old people, or take up crochet.
man, I was expecting and really looking forward to an inevitable remaster of DoW, but this is so fucking nothing.
They just updated the textures and that's fucking it. No improvement to the projectile effects a lot of which were kind of meh, no improvements to pathfinding or any other QoL features.
also the trailer is decieving as fuck. DoW already runs at 1080p, yet this video pretends as if it was some low res only game
nigga that bait is older than you are
I AM KAELA MENSHA KHAINE
there was a time when 40k was behind SC's shadows
now 40k is super popular and SC is nowhere
how could blizz fumble with all of their franchises so much
can finally run more than 500 units on screen in UA without shitting a brick
I might consider getting it for that alone
Drinking breast milk from bottles was more important
Since we're posting Blood Ravens here's mine.
But the original works just fine?
It has severe software limitations that prevent it from running all but the most optimised mods, and even then...
FUCKING THIS
99% of the time it is bastardizing the game because the average intern in modern AA and AAA companies is a retarded luddite that hates everything that came before him.
Just look at warcraft 3 refunded edition, technically the models are much higher resolution and have a lot more effort put into them than the original ones, but they are so devoid of any soul or artistic direction that they massively clash and feel wrong with the rest of the game even with updated textures and terrain features. NOT changing the original models and artstyle is a good thing.
Some real fancy looking wargear you've acquired, brother, mayhap you could enlighten us on which honored Chapter had gifted them to us?
It has severe software limitations that prevent it from running all but the most optimized mods
That's putting it lightly. Not the only game from the era that suffered from such buckbreaking hardcaps either. Having the ability to run 8 Baneblades on the field with rolling arty, air and infantry support was the kind of delusion relegated only to your wildest fever dreams.
creamapi
Will I get banned if I use Creampie?
The oldest Z'er was 8 when this game came out.
Funniest of all was the master chief one. Halo's setting is lame, but MC absolutely destroys a Space Marine 1on1 with all the plot armor bullshit he's accumulated over the series.
decent portion of your company is run by retired glowies spending more time stealing breast milk and finding extra ways to screw 20+ year paypiggies over
GW for the most part isn't staffed by milkdrinkers just greedy anglos with one foot in the grave already.
No
t. creamed all over every single paradox game and have been pubstomping random faggots online on stellaris without issues or repercussions
Depends if the Space Marine wears a helmet.
MC would get out lucked by Cain and end up with a melta blast to the chest
40keks are absolutely obsessed with power level wankery.
You never see fantasychads going on about how Archaon would totally dab on Middle Earth or whatever, nobody cares.
>Alpha legion being involved in chaos demon shenanigans
There are plenty Alpha Legion chaos worshipers.
Nah, sadly WH40k is so massively uspcaled in terms of power level that it's a legitimate joke to match the average Astartes against anything except legitimate magic space bullshit things.
As much as I like Halo, MC would be turned to paste in either melee or ranged combat almost immediatly.
AH
A CHALLENGE WORTHY OF MY SKILL!
DoW led me to Biel Tan.
Painting white sucks though. I need to touch this one up at some point.
I have to admit, I was kinda "Eh, some of the texture upscales are neat, but whatever" until I saw the 'crons. The new Warrior models look neat.
Too bad about the Nightbringer looking... smooth.
over the series
Does that include 4-Infinite? Because it shouldn't.
should’ve gone with Ulthwe
Port the Black Templar & Tyranid mods over and I'm set for life
I want Imperial Knights games
Painting white over black
Maddening
Play DoW3 and understand why nobody wants Imperial Knights games.
Such is the final testimony of Gabriel Angelos, Captain of the Blood Ravens 3rd Company, Savior of Tartarus, Bane of the Black Legion, Servant of the Emperor.
were knights really the issue of dow3 tho?
Try using Corax white thinned way down with Lamian medium. I used to have chunky shoulders on my templars, but after trying it, my whites come out pretty good. Also, I've had good luck with Vallejo white, but its too bright for my uses other than highlighting.
ATTENTION, POSTER!
Today you read the post of Lord Horrik Canorem, Son of High King Valorik Canorem, High Prince of House Canorem, Master of the Blade of Gaia, Keeper of the Gates of Loralo, Wielder of the Kaloric Flame, Bringer of Hope, Herald of the Holy Order of the Adamantine Lance, The Paladin of Koto, Slayer of the Lion of Essa, The Triumphant! The Light of Stars! The… Eradicator!
These fine friends helped acquire them
No, everything in combination was the real issue with DoW3, including the direction the games were going since DoW2.
The knights were just the fart ontop of the turd.
I think chaos knights are cool
Mavis Bacon has been real quiet since this one dropped
Very pointy gear you got there, fellow loyalist brothers
I ask you again, has a Marine ever ripped off a Hydralisk's head with his bare hands.
kill franchise with DoW3
rerelease DoW for quick cash grab
Okay here's some actual loyalists as well
Where's my Talon of Horus, Fireblade, Illuminarium, Lion Sword, White Tiger Dao, Storm's Death, Mjalnar, etc

If you have more memory and CPU power then you can assign more pathing nodes for each units which results in better unit movement.

Random Blood Ravens Librarian in Dark Crusade kills an Avatar in a duel
Funny to see it.
why not?
What kind of COVID your people have?
whats your favorite dawn of war quote? for me its
youtube.com
DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?
So what I'm getting from comments here is, if you have the original already and you're not bothered about mods, there is absolutely no reason to get the remaster?
Is it me or do the "definitive" shots look like UA?
Warhammer Gladius is free until the 26th.
WE NEED A NEW DRIVER, THIS ONE'S DEAD
Pretty much but why wouldn't you play modded?
For me? It’s the left hand of the just.
They managed to rob fucking Cypher
They give Gladius away every other month. I already own but never installed it[/spoiled] Is it any good?
Why take part in the wankery war at all? You sound just as retarded as they do.
40K will NEVER be taken seriously by the mainstream and NEVER dream to have half of the impact of Starcraft. Sorry them's just the facts.
redpill me on the pic, is it a three-body problem reference?
Depends, you wanna play 40K Civ?
the Librarian later loots the pieces of the Avatar after the battle
Now when you say free, is it only the base game? Putting simple shit like Immortals behind a paywall sucks ass.
Starcraft and Warcraft were literally created because they couldn't get the licences to Warhammer. Stop sucking Activision's dick so hard, it's pathetic. Learn to take a joke.
Many Marinefags are a blend of autists who are desperate to either be
The good guys
The cool guys
The strong guys
Or some mixture of the three. To that end they'll often depict or describe Marines being stronger than they should be, and will do so at the expense of either other factions or other settings in an effort to feel better about themselves.
GW themselves encourage this behaviour because it drives up Marine sales without much work being required, and will often allow video games to have Marines doing things which they would completely fail at outside of said games.
That was just a myth made up by people who don't know Starship Troopers and Alien came first.
You have to read the novels NOW
Unless it turns out they changed pathfinding and unit collision.
THAT'S EPISTOLARY ANTEAS TO YOU, BROTHER
repeating decades old boomer lies by desperate 40kfags trying to get out of obscurity
grim
There's nothing to worth defending about Warcraft and Starcraft anymore.
I kinda wanna.
Night elf babes
shut up
they literally changed the hydralisk design for sc2 because they didn't want to get sued
ughh kino....

started with dawn of war and coomsoomed miniwargaming content
primaris shit
started a decade ago
I legitimately forget if Tyrande and Malfurion have done anything.
You know GW massively redesigned the Nids after SC1 first, right?
Bad ass.
I've been fantasizing about doing some content for this game for years. I wish they'd make a final DLC/expansion with
Tyranids
Men of Iron/Mechanicus
Squats
And add certain unites
Buildings for Space Marines and Chaos Marinse for specialized chapters, units. Like nurgle marines, thousand sons, salamanders, space wolves, white scars etc..
Don't know what else to add for other armies though. But I feel like that would top it off.
People always say that 2nd ed nids were silly, and yes the warriors looked dogshit, but there was something about the old nids that did the bio-horror angle better than the space dinos we have now.
Good. I don't want a fucking Warcraft 3 Demake on our hands.

YAY MORE REMASTERS
I LOVE BEING A TROON!
everyone had combat patrols/starter boxes, they cost like $15
I think DoW 1 aged like shit and DoW 2 is a lot better game especially Retribution with Elite mod for PvP.
There, I said it.
A MOMENT OF LAXITY SPAWNS A LIFETIME OF HERESY
GLORY TO THE FIRST MAN TO DIE
no Dawn of War 4
Dey be waiting for 11th edition when Gorillaman and Lion finally reunite
Preserving old shit is also a pain in the ass
yeah there was a good middle for tyranids
they're too monstery now and not as creepy
They are already reunited though?
Something that bothers me is how mangled is the tyranid canon in some aspects
Some things are genius and cool, like weapons being actual hives of lesser tyranid strains and assimilated species, and the tyranid invasion stuff like the Narhwal fucking everything with a gravity pull effect. But there are also things like Tyranids having rifle-like weapons (???), boneswords and whips instead of appendices which it irks me and its just silly.
the oldfag grognards were complaining about this back in the early 2000s as well when i was a wee lad, we are just nearing the end of the lifecycle of warhammer, the gatekeeping lasted quite long, but the floodgates are open now, its just a matter of time until it turns into star wars
They are already reunited though?
They're both on each other's faraway side of the galaxy, only Lion knows that Gorillaman is alive and kicking but not the other way around
The only thing those large address aware patches do is up the limit from 3.5GB to 4GB
Anon Babble just seething and coping that Blood Ravens outclassed their favorite Ultramarines for a solid 12 years
They haven't reunited yet, they are on opposite sides of the great rift, Lionel was too busy inserting his boot into Angron's demonic ass.
Lionel also knows Gorillaman is alive, but not the other way round.
It made more sense in the original nids because they were just bio-horrors that assimilated species and experimented the fuck out of them, less so with the current nids.
I don't think anyone at Anon Babble likes for real the Ultrablandines
Also the Blood Ravens scheme is rad looking
please don't be UE slop please don't be UE slop
it's... nice?
4GBs
That is fuck all these days once you start bloating the unit caps into retarded moshpit levels. You can hit that hard limit just from turtling normally with overlapping fields of turrets and mines. Being able to bypass that without suffering a housefire will do wonders on compstomer that want to go above 2v2s. I wish Sins got the same treatment because that shit chugs turbo dick if you try to do anything above 3 player matches with maxed out fleets and strikecraft spam.
Chapter your honour
What did he mean by this?
This game is the ultimate 3rdhammer time capsule and I'm still genuinely shocked they decided to remaster it
Greetings brothers, have you any gifts you would like to share with us?
Now this sounds good
questionable maps with equally questionable pathing
Wide zoom
Supposedly addressed
Modernized controls/rebinds like shift queueing and better control group UI
Somehow unjanking soulstorm
It has potential
DoW is full of great assets that unfortunately have a thin coat of shit on them from all the blurry brown texture filtering of the time and hardcoded aggressive distance fog. A little cleaning and sharpening is all it needed.
one of the last living examples of the oldcrons before they went full tomb kangz in spess
Bro i was born in 2001 and even while i played the game(my older bro taught me, also we played warcraft 3, lov me tauren boss) i'm 24 by now and i can say this game isn't zoomer core, AT ALL.
Somehow unjanking soulstorm

Your color scheme
IG and Crons
Black and Green
It just works
remastered game will have army painter
Warhammer games in 2025+ don't
tomb kangz are cool, though
Oldcrons are the Trucrons
Am I misremembering or were the Blood Ravens really popular at one point outside of the Anon Babble circle?
THANK GOD. Image if they tried to do something like Warcraft 3 Reforged and completely ruin the soul
letting the user paint for free
when you can charge them on a per color basis
Pay up piggies
let's hope for more Aeldar flavor
Always have been
inb4 they never fixed it
Templars and Guard
Templars are templar colored, Guard are German field grey with painted helmets in a similar pattern to picrel (DKOK of course)
Im never beating the allegations, and if some redditor wants to beef with me ill fight them in the parking lot.
This is just an approximation of what I made when I played Dark Crusade on disc as a kid, things were better then
space marines
crimson fists
Simple as.
blood ravens?
Resurrection Orb "trick" of hitting 20/20 unit cap
Send them all to die
Hit the cap again
Sprint the Necron Lord into the corpses of the old ones
Hit dat shit
Get 40/20
Lmao get fucked humans
orkz
snake bites or custom hot pink color scheme because that was comedy gold to me in the 2000s
I did that to kill the Eldar base in Dark Crusade instead of capping the objectives like you are supposed to lmao.
Eldar job to Necron tricks
Again
MAKE IT STOP
Blood Ravens are loyalist remnants of the Thousand Sons, how they survived the flesh change is fuckouttahere
supposedly a Librarian heavy chapter, far more than the Blood Angels and Space Wolves
you can only recruit 1 Librarian as HQ
you cannot upgrade battle brothers with other Chapter's gear
When they turned the the C'Tan into "make your own enslaved Pokemon" and changed large chunks of the lore for no reason really turned me away from the game cause their my fav faction. I liked their alien nature and separate goals regarding the Warp. Pushing the "the Necron needed character" was stupid as they did. Old Lore stated the Necron Lord retained their personalities because of their loyalty so you can have these named Necron Lords and Overlords and maintain the old lore. Them wanting to go back into flesh bodies because "boo hoo I don't feel anything anymore" is a pussy reason for a people who lived nothing but pain and misery when they were flesh. They became undead robotic lords serving their Gods who had power over the material plane in antithesis of the Chaos Gods rule over the immaterial of the Warp.
Get gauss'd knife eared fucking shits
Dawn of War was intended as a jumping on point for people who were new to WH40K, not a game for lore autists to masturbate to.
Strange they didn't include Dawn of War 2 remastered, they should have uncanoned Dawn of War 3
Nobody wants to play Company of Heroes with space marines.
What went wrong?
That LoL texturing and colors
Instead of Blanche/A.Smith/Kopinski aesthethics
Absolutely heretical
Necrons who obey the C'tan and carry out the will of rogue shards are still a thing, just not a trend among any named characters
Necrons who like Biotransferrence and don't want to be mortal again are a thing, in setting there is a big Civil War between Imhotek and the Silent King over it.
Necrons who still want to destroy all life are a thing. Entire Dynasties have fallen to the Destroyer and Flayer viruses.
Nothing about Newcrons makes anything about Oldcrons "obsolete". Oldcrons still exist. It's just not a universal flavor.
DoW2 remastered feels like an obvious next step desu. I wonder if they intend to support this game further with expansions. Proper Nids and Admech in DoW1 would be great. I don't like Unification and UA in DoW1, I'd take proper expansions over mods here unironically. None that I tried were good enough in spite of how large and lively modding community there is for DoW1. DoWpro is ok tho.
DoW2 really needs more factions, basically second Dark Crusade with Tau and Necrons at least. But DoW2 Elitemod is so good, and will have Tau soon anyway, that I feel DoW2 remastered would functionally downgrade no matter what they do.

I keep forgetting about that part and it gets me every time.
I replayed this game not a year ago just fine.
I could not possibly have less of a fuck to give for this reskin cash grab. Make new games, kikes.
Fuck the Warhammer Audience
Fuck the RTS audience
We want the E-Sports Audience!
3 factions
Memerines, joke faction and the last kid to be picked in the football field faction
No Chaos, no Tyranids, no Necrons, no Tau and no IG lmao
MOBA heroes
MOBA card units

Useless unit roster
Useless base buildings
TIMED TECHING, you cannot rush an enemy and dunk on them early lmao what the fuck you gotta play like THIS and not like THAT
Toy looks
Oldcrons still exist. It's just not a universal flavor.
My Necrons are Destroyer Cult Oldcrons, I like them like that, and they will never speak or do anything else but to autistically kill even bacteria
Make new games, kikes.
Asking nuRelic to make something good
DoW1 was so good I tried to get into 40k as a kid in an era of excess where babysitting (playing ps1 games and watching MTV with) got me €50 a night. 40k was still too expensive to do the whole trip of going to my local, etc, etc.
As a game it still beats the piss out of its sequels. DoW2 borrowed too much from grogs on the Relic Forums who screeched and cried at stuff in the Company of Heroes Beta and Relic eventually hired their own "balance" guy from said forum who turned everything to shit.
Never hire fans or even listen to them for balance purposes.
Company of Heroes Beta and Relic eventually hired their own "balance" guy from said forum who turned everything to shit.
Never hire fans or even listen to them for balance purposes.
They just needed to make CoH but in W40k. What they did is CoH 0.5 with GFWL and a shit engine update
If they know new game bad and have to repackage old game to make a quick buck, why not make new game in style of old game people like
Relic was losing a ton of money and needed to get something out the door fast.
Relic was GREAT and could have challenged Blizzard back then toe to toe if they didn't went tits up with retardation and cost cutting
DoW1 was incredible, well done and fun
CoH1 is DoW1 gameplay but insanely refined and better in every single way, just not Warhammer
The logical step to do? Make DoW2 a CoH warhammer reskin, this shit writes itself
Instead get the most dogwater release ever
Cut costs
Lose key devs
CoH director fucking dies
Design an abortion of a game that doesn't work on release and it's just lame overall
Make two expansions to make it passable, some dummies gaslight themselves that DoW2 was good (it was not by a mile) and swear that they had fun (they didn't)
Ok then, we fucked up, let's make CoH2, that we can't fuck it up right?
CoH2 is one of the most mangled and bungled RTS games ever produced, runs like shit, plays sluggy and shit, looks worse than CoH1 and all the gameplay decisions are ass backwards and clunky, Like a CoH 0.7
But expansions!
Meh
Ok we CANNOT fuck DoW3 up. It's gonna be a return to form we swear! big armies and base building
DoW3 comes out, it's got base building alright, but it's not an improved version of DoW1 gameplay, it's dogshit, 3 races and is actually a MOBA game
What the fuck m8
Relic gets Age of Empires 4 commisioned to them
The whole fanbase from AoE2 and Relic goes AW HELL NAW
They develop it in their engine as usual
Some rumours start that it's getting fucked up like Relic usually does
Silence for awhile
World's Edge announces that they're "helping" the AoE4 dev team
Game releases
It's... actually good
Like suspiciously good
Check interviews and dev blogs
Realize that Relic's director was mangling the shit out of the dev process and they realized they were deviating too much from AoE formula and just CoH'd my shit up
World's Edge comes in, throws the design away, and starts over with AoE2 but better, essentially 2-2
Relic director leaves
You can see some of the early alpha gameplay philosophies in the Campaigns, some mechanics that aren't in MP, and the disconnection between the two modes
So basically AoE4 is not good because if Relic, it's good DESPITE Relic because AoE2 devs intervened
CoH3 is announced
No pls god no.gif
Never followed, liked or tried it
Don't think about it
Don't ask about it
Don't know a thing about it
Just know they mention kikes in the campaign as the victims for goypoints
Instant mental oblivion from everyone for several other reasons
...
DoW4 rumours appear
I'm surprised Relic is still around trying to do RTS games. They suck at it.
Is the explorators mod for DoW1 worth checking out?
I just want a good RTS where I can play as my boys, and I’m not holding my breath for DoW4.
I KNOW THERE WAS A STARGATE MOD IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT FOR DOW1. I SAW THE PICS BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER THE SITE NAME IT'S BEEN SO LONG. 20 FUCKING YEARS.
WHAT HAPPENED TO IT? DON'T BULLSHIT ME. I JUST WANT A SG1 RTS MOD WHERE AMANDA TAPPING IN A BIKINI IS A HERO UNIT.
That is a very niche request, all of your post
Most likely because the publisher wants some sort of reassurance that people are still willing to put down money for Dawn of War after the second game was divisive and the third crashed the series in a spectacular fireball almost a decade ago, and a cheap remaster is a good way to gauge interest.
The Stormgate niggers should have been given the Dawn of War 4 greenlight
They're late with the remaster train by 2-3 years
The only real thing left is EA releasing a RA2/YR/Generals/Battle for Middle Earth remaster
They lost RTS players by marketing it with MOBA influences, a genre which RTS players have an aversion to
MOBA players didn't care anyway
Artstyle, atmosphere and voice-acting failed at properly portraying 40k and so they lost Warhammerfags as well
In the end game appealed to noone
and a cheap remaster is a good way to gauge interest.
That and it's an established tactic used by the rest of the industry with varying degrees of success. The 2020s is looking to be the decade of the remaster with the way things are going.
Looked like mobileshit last time I saw gameplay.
Dawn of War II is good, but based entirely on the merits of its odd RTS-ARPG hybrid singleplayer campaigns. Multiplayer/skirmish was just crap.
The Stormgate niggers should have been given the Dawn of War 4 greenlight
ew what the fuck anon
dawn of war 4 trailer comes out
it's primaris ultramarines
kek kwab
I'm surprised Relic is still around trying to do RTS games. They suck at it.
It's like they're a relic of former times
Hell fucking no, having played stormgate that shit was ass trying to ape the starcraft 2 esports and coop scene but shittier in every way shape or form.
