looks already better than SC2
and if they improve it basing on CoH gameplay it WILL BE FUCKING AWESOME

(yeah Im excited. loved both DoW and CoH - best RTS ever) 

I'm excited about DoW2. Not as much as I am about SC2, but still, I loved DoW, and I expect great things from Relic. Looks fantastic. 

I already had hopes up since that means star control 2 to me. Bah, kids these days... 

count me in. 

more like adolescent 

kebab lol 

What's adolescent? I agree that the industry needs to grow up but the last game referenced, DOW2, looked fine to me. Didn't see any large breasted chicks with swords or anything. 

I think it's Age of Conan you're looking for:

hope DoW2 gets tyranids. 

Yep, looks fantastic, I lost so many hours to both DoW and CoH so really looking forward to this.

Also, ffs make a new space hulk game! 

while we are on the subject of games workshop materials...

Make a WH40k war game like operation flashpoint!

Fkn terrific little asteroid-aquarium-divide-and-conquer game with a quiet Defcon-like pace and tone. And one of the guys who worked on it is Borsato. :D

Informative.

DOW2 - looks very good. Both the action and the cityscapes.

BUT, as always, RTSes seem to be so much about stressing around managing the entire bloody army and resource system, that all those great graphics tend to be pointlessly hard to appreciate. Spending 10 seconds admiring one combat basically means you've lost the mission because some of your fuckwits elsewhere have wandered off or a resource post has been captured and that's it. Okay the high quality scenery will be a good omnipresent ambience but I still think the graphics are a bit of a waste if you can't stop to appreciate them. 

I discovered these games accidentally and found them to be quite compelling for some reason. It's a series of four short and easy adventures created by Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw, centering about a family curse and ancient gods:

1) 5 Days a Stranger - http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/5days/
2) 7 Days a Skeptic - http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/7days/
3) Trilby's Notes - http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/notes/
4) 6 Days a Sacrifice - http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/6days/

First, second and fourth game have traditional p&c controls, third one requires commands to be typed in like the old FF/SQ games (sounds annoying, but one gets used to it quickly). The plot is interesting - nothing groundbreakingly new but I liked it, especially the way it's tied together and expanded throughout the games - and the there's plenty pixel gore.

If anyone's in the right mood and has some spare two hours for each game, I recommend giving them a try. Just make sure to play them in the intended order. 

 

I'll just buy it automatically.

I'm still playing through Soulstorm. 

Beautiful game except for
a) the music gets really braindamaging after 30 minutes of the same very short pattern
b) NO FUCKING SAVE OPTION. How long does it take to conquer the whole universe? 1-2 hours?
