OMG! Dawn of War 2 looks better than Starcraft 2!! (56k)

I would still buy SC2 because,

1. I can run it on my abysmal laptop

2. It's Blizzard!

3. It's not all about graphics....people will never learn.

I would, and will buy both, because Starcraft and DoW are completely different.

1. there is something called settings

2. That makes you a fanboy

3. That's what only people who are deprived of graphics say. If you were right, why did Blizzard even bother improving their graphical engine?

1. Do you think dow 2 will run on pcs as old as starraft even on lowest settings ?

2. That's reasonable expectation from a dev who has delivered nothing but quality titles

3. What if someone who plays almost all games at max, hence not deprived of graphics says the same ?

Amazing.

Gameplay wise IMO: COH and Dow >SC and warIII but I like blizzard game for the editors.

Without Starcraft you wouldnt have DoW. So you loseInfinityTomorro

I tend to disagree given that the 40k license has been around far longer than Starcraft.

I rekon relic makes awasome looking RTS games but map control governing population size is just stupid, most of the games I've had on COH are decided in the first few minute of play. Middle oil point capped+wire+tanktraps+MG and sniper in place locks you out of the oil and all the useful upgrades from then on.

Gameplaywise I still think Starcraft is more fun than Dawn and Coh, just can't get into the whole map control points idea.

Definitely needs moar Tyranids. That and I don't think DoW2 will be as perfectly balanced as SCII. At least PC gamers get both games.foxhound_fox

Are Tyranids confirmed as not being in? That's lame if so. I could understand them not being in before, maybe, because of technological limitations. Like with the hive mind and such. But they should be able to work it in now, no?

In my personal opinion, from the big RTS games...

Warcraft 3 > Company of Heroes > Starcraft > Dawn of War

...though its worth noting even though Dawn of War is last, its still amazing, and ill get this game day 1 i can.

HOLY F**K!

*passes out with the sheer RTS awsomeness*

Relic said they werent put in the original because they didnt think the engine would do them justice...since this is a new engine, I presume they will be put in....especially considering how insane COH was.

Does anyone know if it uses the Coh game machanics? i.e the destrucable cover etc. I cant bring myself to play other rts games now, as they are all about pumping out 100 tanks and rushing, or getting to the top tech then nuking etc. Coh is an absolute milestone, and the most important rts since maybe Dune.Bazfrag

it does....there is actually a even bigger focus on squads this time around.

but does it play better?omarguy01

no ;)

Fixed

First DOW 2 screens, and Starcraft is set for release this year.

I think that DOW 2 will launch way after SC2, so why on earth wouldnt you get both?

War hammer is a phenomenon of a game graphics look outrageously good and relic was also saying that a 7800GT could run the game so if u can throw down 600 bucks get 2 gigs of ram 9600GT at least a 5600+ processor. You can run it medium-high with no problem.

COH runs on a Gforce 3.

I bet this one will be very well optimised and will support Shader 2.

True, that's some really nice eye candy, but Blizzard games were never graphical achievements. That's what's great about Blizzard. Instead of putting their games on an unreachable pedestal of graphical greatness *cough*Crysis*cough* they make their games as accessible as possible to everyone while still being some of the most fun games ever. But I can't choose between which of the two I'll end up loving more in the end. DoW was surprisingly one of the best RTS experiences I've ever had.glitchgeeman

Starcraft II is coming out sooner and going to be better than Dawn of War 2 OMG!

But Yes, that looks nice, looks like they used the Company of Heroes engine, hopefully there will be the dynamic terrain with craters and cover, etc

how does it look in motion. The first DoW didn't have the best animations on the planet, but stacraftII's look really good.laughingman42

But Company of heroes did, and its using the same engine,

Still that game looks pretty graphic intensive like CoH, heck I can't even run WoW, at a steady 30fps..imma have too download the demo and see how it runs on my laptop, and do a few runs on it before I'd buy it anyways..

I also have been looking at the first DoW game and know I can run it of course, but damn soo much expansions I saw a bundle that came with the first two, and winter assualt (whatever you call it) for i think ~$40 than theirs that other expansion with the girl in the front cover, for another ~$30. The least I can remember when i was walking through the electronic section at walmart. You would think it's about time they came out with a Part 2.

gonna have to agree with you on the rts eye canday... but how dare you shame the starcraft franchise... they should put you to sleep! :evil:Rage010101

It's not? :|

DoW has some real gimmicky gameplay, why control points? It seems like a rushed decision. Meh its pretty cool through but i think starcraft looks like its in a different league.hongkingkong
