Gamescom Footage Hopes?
SuperBumbleB
Before I start, no, please don't say: "I hope the Gamescom footage fixes ALL the lore, visuals, and major gameplay mechanics" because I doubt they would make any major changes just after a month or two after E3. What i'm asking is: What do you hope to see in the Gamescom footage, based on what we've seen, not 'would like to see in the DOW game you wished you had'
Personally, I would like to see either a multiplayer gameplay trailer or just a multiplayer demonstration. I feel like Single player footage is either too scripted or passive when we know how much more intense and exciting the multiplayer in RTS games usually is. Plus it's where most of the replayability is (though I do hope the DOW3 campaign isn't as terrible as COH2's and has replayability too like in the Ardennes Assault DLC campaign).
I'd also like a change of scenery and a first glimpse of Orks

I want to see Orks

True but they did update the Lascannon graphic based on feedback. but to answer your Original question.... i think as much as space marines are my favorite 40k race it would be nice to see some stuff from the other races perspective. (Defiantly the Orks as we have had nothing on them yet). Or some differing maps, as the Crystally canyon area that we have seen in game now is getting kind of old...

...
They managed to make it look worse. Gotta make an effort to worsen what was already bad.
Renner
Whatever they show, I expect Arch Warhammer to make a video where he ridicules every sentence someone from Relic says, then backed by his followers to downvote official vids and spill a flood of "Not dark enuff grafikz!" Same old boring story.
Anyways, I think they're going to show the same area, just a full mission and with more Eldar units, as far as I understood from interviews. So no new areas or Orks, probably something we'll see at later dates. So, get ready for more Gabes voice/frontflips/MOBA graphics on the forums. We could at least get a new forum avatar.

Worship leads to useless stagnation, criticism leads to improvement.
Renner
I don't worship anything. There's more than enough room for improvements. Gabe's flipping can go out, replaced with the animation that starts similarly like that one of the Assault Marines starting a jump. Like, you see sparking from his personal teleporter do give you a clue that he's going to jump on your units, then appears above them and smashes down. Some movement animations could use more work. Lascannon as well, seeing how Predator Annihilator fires its lasers gives a clue how the further development may go through. Everything is more responsive now, so the old way of firing from previous games won't work probably.
And that's about it, if you ask me. I doubt that graphics and Gabe's voice are going to change much, so you can just take it or leave it. I'm just tired of the same boring comments, that's all.

This Forum is full of whining...not critics!
I want to see Multiplayer Action, some new tile sets and not just SM.
Ellie
theres no worshipping going on here. im pretty sure that everyone on this forum, even people who enjoy the footage shown so far (like myself) have issues with the game. the problem is that people love to cherry pick things (even if they where in the first game) and also love to put out 'hate words' like calling it a moba, a starcraft clone, even though its nothing like either. plus, a lot of their 'criticism' is simply 'stop making the game' 'change the graphics completely' 'change the gameplay completely' which is just boring. it doesnt help the developers at all, it just buries actual criticism of the game.

Or maybe they were always planning on updating the alpha placeholder.

Relic confirmed me in facebook that they will show Campaign and not multiplayer....

Disappointing. At least we may get a glimpse of how the base building and opening may look.
Ellie
if you watched xpgamers latest video, I can bet that the mission he showed off will be the one playable at gamescon.
Arkarius
It would be good to see some of the campaigns from the Eldar and the Ork perspective. That way we can get a glimpse of their respective building mechanics and units.
Warnoise
I hope this is not true. They better be showing a really impressive footage.
The only good thing i learned from that xpgamers footage is that Paul Dubson has returned.
Ellie
its not just footage, they're going to let people at gamescon play through whatever mission they have. im just betting it will be that because it looks to be structured like an actual mission in the campaign, not a highlight reel.
FaHu
On the gamescom we will get probably a closer look at the race elder. It is maybe the same map/mission, like we see in earlier gameplay footage, just from the elder perspective. I will have a closer look on saturday, if im on the gamescom. I will write about my experience from gameplay, graphics, fps ingame and the system some days later here.
Renner
Yep, and here it is:
Making pauses like every 3 seconds to ridicule just about everything (maybe not hovering over the gaps with skimmer units), while audience is "MOBA, STARCRAFT, MOBAAAAA!" There's also a guy who's wh**ing himself for upvotes named like Matt Ward. Emperor save us... And guess what happened, suddenly Luetin09's videos got MASSIVELY downvoted, right into oblivion. You see the pattern here.
Even though I agree with some points he makes, he's just going over the top sometimes. I guess that's what his audience wants to hear. Now I know where some people are getting these ideas like "They shoulda make a new IP with the game like this and not call it DoW". You'll be hearing it a lot more in the following days.
Warnoise
I stopped watching when he said there should be retreat function.
Ellie
he justs a dow 2 reskin, like most of his fanbase.
Arkarius
I am not a fan of Arch Warhammer. He comes across as a carnival barker that simply bloviates while pushing air and spittle into his microphone. It's possible that he sincerely believes what he says but it's more likely that he just makes comments in order to get a reaction out of people. Whether that reaction is positive or negative, it doesn't matter. There's no such thing as bad press. He's getting attention.
Unfortunately, I wasted about an hour of my life in watching the video and to be fair, I must admit that Arch Warhammer does make a valid point. DoW is an established IP. When you pick up something with the DoW Warhammer 40K title on it you should expect certain things. Gabriel Angelos dancing around like a ballerina is not one of the things you should expect. I can understand the disappointment that some people feel in seeing Angelos hop around like a cross between the Easter Bunny and Misty Copeland. I really wish that Relic would remove it but it's their IP.
I can live with no synch kills. It was a neat feature in previous games but maybe its time has come and gone? I don't believe that this ONE thing in and of itself is a game killer. I don't believe the reasoning behind the removal of the feature either.
Is there a need for a retreat mechanic? Can the player micromanage his unit and reinforce it and then move it back into the fray or is the unit permanently weakened?
I'm not thrilled about the paladin bubble mechanic but maybe acquiring cover from a crater needs to be replaced/updated?
News flash for Arch Warhammer:Relic is a business that wishes to make money. They are making some decisions which they believe will increase the profit from the sales of this game. Imagine that!
There's a few things that I would like to be in the game that I still haven't seen. I understand that the game is still a year away from release. I'll just relax and wait to see more information before I make up my mind as to whether or not I will purchase the game. Maybe Arch Warhammer should do the same before he has a heart attack.

He's a dow2 fanboy who wants coh in space again... I stopped watching when he said dow3 needs retreat ( lol )
Ellie
in other news.
just confirmed on the stream that land raiders arent in the base game, but they're a good candidate for elites in the future.
and theres also no other type of cover outside of the bubble, and this stealth cover thats just like brush in starcraft 2/league of legends/grey goo. thats pretty disappointing.

The Vids Renner posted are great. That guy is spot on. " We need shiny troops so we can spot them on the map? - lol dumbest argument ever!" The Zealots in this thread make fun of him but I ddin't see anyone of you refuting his points, that's because you can't. What the gamedirector sais holds no water. Most of his justifications boil down to " we have to make the game even more accessable". They are acting like the playerbase consists of grade-schoolers that can't tell a hero apart from red-shirts unless he's twice as big and jumping around like a marvel character...
A RTS without unit preservation is in itself a contradiction. At this point I can only hope this game crash and burns so we will see a true DoW IV some day. He said it " people who prefer this simpleton gameplay can play the games that already cover that". Sega is trying to build a SC copy and I hope they'll get their just desert for abandoning their very IP. I'd really like to see the reaction of the SC community if blizzard made a new iteration of their prized game but dump everything that makes it special, that defines it.
Seed_of_Power
Yeah..... I'm still holding out they might added some more verity. If this game ships feeling like a clone of starcraft, I'm refunding it.

Land raider DLC month 2 after launch incoming
SharKnight
I like arch but I think he is a bit overrated.
He likes the retreat mechanic, well I whole heartedly disagree with him on such thing.
reach
You mean like Dawn of War 2?
Also the guy doing the interview is an ultra casual idiot. His whole argument for retreat is basically 'what if I stumble across a big army?'
Raindrop
Squad leaders.
I hope they are going to add them to the game.
