Its about time!

I've been waiting for DoW 2 since Dark Crusade came out.

I'm not even buying Soulstorm, I'm just waiting for DoW 2.

So... 09 Summer?

Sounds great that they have started the next game already. I hope they improve the game engine for larger maps or destructible buildings like in company of heroes which uses the same 'Havoc' game engine, or something like that.

I still need to go and get Soulstorm.

[Rellik]

very cool!

I`m honestly going to buy DoW2, even if it`s a dissapointment.

I think Relic deserves it, THQ too.

(getting SC2 as well )


Do you think they`ll improve the CoH engine? or cut down from the number of armies in favor of quality in polishing and ballancing just a few?

I honestly hope they`ll do that.

[Cagarner]

Maybe they could improve it to allow tyranids. That would be good.

[Chaosrocks]

It wouldn't be dow2 without nids.

[masterofweirdness]

They sorta have to have nids considering that they're the only race that didn't get into the original DOW.

However... I have a sad feeling that they will not be including all the races from DOW 1 and we'll just have CSM, SM, Eldar maybe orks and nids.

Of course, they could quickly throw out some expacks with all the other races... getting them all in with 2, not three, expacks... IG, Tau, and Necrons in one, and SOB and DE in another.

I`m pretty sure they will, they said they`re keeping Nids as a sell-off for DoW2

[kenshin620]

Yes! Finally! Relic gets the picture when they stare at CoH and DoW for an hour with a white board!

[Templar Mikeel]

I find it hard to believe that they'd release it so soon after Soulstorm. They've shown a trend of waiting a year or two before releasing a new game. But whenever it's released, it will most likely have a modified Company of Heroes engine. The DoW engine is just a mash-up of a few others, and can be a real let down. I don't really care what races are in DoW2, because I can always just mod all the others back in!

[Baron Spikey]

well remember this picture is just an indication that DOW2 is going to be made, not that it's going to be with us any time soon...though I'm also drooling

[Wakim]

I`ll have you know most games are in the making an year or two, great games can take up to 5 years and unlucky games 10 years

Just because they`ll announce it now doesn`t mean they`ll launch it anytime soon.

Unless they can pull of a release date PRIOR to SC2`s AND have a really good game on the table at the same time i expect DoW2 to come out at least a quarter or two behind SC2

Just look at Duke Nuke 'em Forever.

I'm assuming it took forever???

But ya... that's why I said Summer 09... because I assume that SCII will come out hopefully 08 winter...

That has yet to be determined. It started back in the late '90s/early '01 or '02, and has yet to see the light of day.

[Night Shadow]

I agree I think DOW2 should have less races so it is more polished as far as balancing goes. Space Marines, Nids, Eldar, Orks, Chaos and IG which include special units like Daemon Hunters and SOB units, so Daemon Hunters and SOB wont be full races. With a COH Essence engine put together with 40k universe, that is a recipe for freaking INSANE battles. Imgaine Space Marines ducking cover and fire those bolters man, also not full auto Bolters, Semi auto how they are supposed to be, or three round burst, someone correct me if im wrong.

[kenshin620]

Seems hard to do but sounds awesome!

[TheKiller333]

Apparently, or so i've been told, the main story will be about the IG vs Nids. And I'm sure they'll improve the CoH engine somehow, if it's possible

Oh and, for the record, Duke Nukem Forever's release date: 1997 and we're still waiting! =D

Just as a quick clarification, the release date is TBA because someone else is making the game, on the Doom3 engine(boo! poor engine choice, but hey, at least they`re making it )


Now, who has spies in Relic or even THQ?!

We need info! We need leaks!

[masterofweirdness]

Well... doesn't stitch live in Canada?
