We have no idea what or how to make dow anymore, so best we can do is remasters....

 

 

They have everything they need but the funding... Many of the same people who made Dark Crusade and DoW2 are still working there. 

 

Someone else I think is making in DoW4, GW took the IP elsewhere (like they did with Space Marine) when Sega was disinterested in continuing the franchise (they were going to bet on Creative Assembly's 40k game instead, which I'm sure we've all heard the Valrak rumours of). But then Relic went interdependent, opening this opportunity.

 

Which is why I think this is great way for Relic to back to Dawn of War again. It's a SKU that can finance the studio and they can use to launch as a platform to make more Dawn of War 1 expansions. Come on Relic, make Dawn of War I-Two. And then you can make Dawn of War II-Two. They're very different styles of game, develop them both and give them new life independently.

Slightly improved graphics in order to sell a 20 year old game at 2025 prices.

Honestly even the non-discounted price- $30 for everything- is a steal by today's standards, and the graphics are frankly the least interesting upgrade they've done (and the one that will have taken the least work). Getting the game(s) to work nicely on modern machines, removing bugs AND making it more mod-friendly would have been a lot of effort on their part, and assuming it all works as intended would be a MASSIVE upgrade over the original, which frankly does not run well on a lot of current PCs at all. It seems less like the Oblivion Remake and more like one of Nightdive's excellent remasters, faithful to the original with most of the improvements being behind-the-scenes stuff like compatibility and mod support.
