Best way to defeat piracy: Don't release the game on the platform with the highest rates of piracy.

I see they've shifted the game to be against Orks now, the previous development video (which was leaked rather than officially released) had the forces of Chaos as the main enemies. Hopefully you won't just fight Orks the whole way through the game, as even though there is a fair variety of unit types, you'd still be killing big green guys all the time.

That early gameplay version was from a different developer apparently, I can only guess their version got canned as THQ says it has nothing to do with Space Marine (according to Shacknews).
Too bad about lack of PC version idd, hopefully we get to hear more about DoW II stuff at this E3.

Is it me or does this sound reasonably similar to Too Human? I mean in terms of the gameplay and rpg lite...

What is this, Dawn of War 2.5? The Ork and Space Marine assets look like they could have been lifted straight from Dawn of war 2. Also, the shift to action rpg = fail. That leaked footage last year looked way better, like it was Unreal-engine powered or something, this looks like they're using the same cartoonish style like in DoW2.

@Adam_T: They can release as much fluff as they like as long as it pays for Homeworld 3.

No PC version, no sale.
If they want to argue about designing for a controller that would be fine, I have the widest range of controllers to choose from and I have no problem using them. Apart from that I cant think of one reason why they wouldnt release it for PC. |

"Apart from that I cant think of one reason why they wouldnt release it for PC."
I'd say they would probably not be too happy plowing time and effort into a product only for it to sell like warm dog tar and be cracked and pirated by everyone in the universe before the game even hits the shelves. |

Meh.
And Relic pissing on the PC gamers that put them there. Nice, Relic, nice. It seems the abysmal support of your games won't be the reason gamers will be angry with you anymore. As for piracy: it will be nicely pirated for the 360, like every other game. Every publisher who says PC is cause for piracy and provokes less console sales is just plain stupid or lying. They know better. |

This has nothing to do with the game, but on a masochistic whim, I watched through the entirety of the unfeasibly annoying HTC Magic ad that's on the site. It's as bad as I feared it would be, if not worse, and I now want to kill someone. Preferably someone who owns an HTC Magic phone.
Games don't cause violence, crappy adverts do. |

@Ryuken & Gnort
you do know THQ own Relic and are the sole holders of the Warhammer 40k license, right? The game way have shifted to fall under Relics watchful gaze but that's simply cos they have worked with the lore for so long. It's the same game, a year on, with a lot more work having gone into it. Oh, and WANT! |

I wonder if you'll have to install Steam on your xbox and wait a few days for it to patch....

Sounds brilliant but I can't understand the lack of a PC version.
Dawn of War II is a perfect fit for consoles too. It's the first RTS I've seen that almost looks made for consoles from the ground up yet there's no sign of it ever showing up on them. |

Shame about the PC call. It's not hard to plug a 360 or PS3 controller into a USB port and use that. Hell, several cross platform games come preconfigured to work with console controllers.
I am very excited for this, though I suspect the RPG element is being focused on too much. From what's said here it sounds like the upgrade system might be similar to that of Demon Stone; gear gets upgraded and replaced, the occasional new piece gets added and so on. Hell, God of War and DMC have "experience" in the form of red orbs which get spent to upgrade you and nobody calls them psudo-RPGs. |

Looks great, ill almost be tempted to get a console just for this game. almost.
This will be out on the PC at some point im sure - I hope they sort a console version of DOW2 while they are at it, theres a big market for 40k games. |

I would prefer a more squad orientated, semi-turn based system. Maybe like valkyria chronicles...
Scrap that... a NECROMUNDA game in the vein of valkyria!!! |
