Adeptekon Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Besides getting unit coheision, unit and formation control, and charging worked out right, I'm looking forward to big 8 player custom battles, both over LAN and online with ladder. A persistent or semi-persistent world for massive multiplayer campaigns would be a dream, but I'll be happy with at least the best standard of competive custom battles.

Seeing some glimpses of a dynamic cover system when they were ordering the guardsmen into the ruins, so that's nice.

Lord Marshal Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) Pathfinding and framerate looks atrocious. I know it's still in development, but given how much CA has struggled with those pretty much forever I'm not optimistic. Vehicles look the most polished and I like that wrecks seem to linger, but the infantry just being blobs of clumsy, blind ants looks... rough, to put it nicely. Definitely a deeply sceptical "I look forward to playing it a year or two after release" for me based on CA's recent history.

Had hoped the new engine they announced would help solve this. Thankfully, there is no release date yet.

DemonGSides Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) When the giant explosion and they showed all the gribbly bits blown into the air... that was pretty cool. Very excited for this.

Scribe Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Yeah, looks exactly like I expected based on my Total War Warhammer experience. I will however need a new PC for it, thats for sure.

DemonGSides Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Very glad I got an upgrade in when Space Marine 2 came out, things were already trending badly in the cost department at that point, and it's only gotten worse.

ThaneOfTas Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 (edited) Over the last couple of weeks I finally bit the bullet and used my EOFY bonus to buy an upgrade, still not top of the line but should be more than capable of handling this at 1080p.

Subtleknife Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 (edited) I hope I am wrong, but the more I see, the more it looks to me they have fundamentally approached this wrong at the design level. They have tried to just port TW to 40k which I just don't think will work for a variety of reasons. The orks looked cool though and so did the big explosions from the call down abilities. But the guard look ridiculous moving about in big blocks. Also, cover is destroyed way to easily by units moving over them. Those big concrete structures shouldn't be disintegrated as a sentinal/ogryn etc walks over it.

DemonGSides Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I wouldn't mind if Ogryn didn't just obliterate cover and walked around it, but I do think Sentinels should destroy cover. It's a video game, there has to be some concessions to gameplay.

Huge blocks of flashlights will turn the evils of the galaxy back to the hell that spawned them!

Ammonius Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I may not have the most discerning eye, but that looks pretty cool to me. I can't wait to see how it looks when they decide to ship it.

DemonGSides Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago It was a good presentation. Still obviously a WIP with some of the animation stuff, but I don't know if I'll ever get sick of seeing a unit of stormboys launch themselves into lines of Imperial Guard. It was just so cool looking. Really like how the units took to cover automatically, I do kinda wish Ogryn didn't destroy cover as that feels a little silly, but watching the battlewagon roll out first to destroy some cover with it's steam roller was really cool; probably should've supported it more considering the Baneblade dropped it in like 3 shots, but still, pretty cool to see non-offensive use for some of these styles.

Scribe Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Yeah, this will be 40K for me most likely going forward. Will need a new PC of course.

Blindhamster Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Looked pretty solid honestly, I like that the “ranks” aren’t very neat and that they position to make use of cover and terrain DemonGSides and Matcap86 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384965-total-war-warhammer-40000/page/17/#findComment-6180420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah_of_Rock_n_Rolla Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago A bit of shame that it's all the same footage, but nice to see more. However: - flanking - really? In 40k? - will we be able to check line of sight from a given point and not only from the unit itself? - will we be able to check range of each weapon during a battle? I haven't seen it in the unit card, nor more detailed breakdown of weapon stats in general. - the is no suppression, only morale? - units have locked coherence, i.e. no more loose formation for the base guard - the Chimera enigma - as even Kasrkin are in 20-men squads, what's the purpose of Chimeras? Does this mean that Guard and Orks won't have any transports? - same map layout different biomes - I understand that this is to minimize file size.
