Dawn of War 2 - Interview and Intro Video Revealed!

E3 is among us and THQ is showing off Dawn of War 2. So far we’ve seen the gameplay trailer that has shown off the new Eldar as a revealed race. Dawn of War 1 had an amazing (award winning) intro video that really brought Warhammer 40k to life, now they’ve done it again, prepare your jaw to drop:

As well on Gamespot they have a new developer interview that talks about the game and its modes. Thanks to steve-o194 for the find!

  1. apart from a disregard for lore in a few places, that was pretty cool.

    any one know what the farseer is pointing at in the sky?, all i can see are clouds :(

  2. I’m guessing Orks.

    I saw a few as well, but they minor and could pass off as just and interpretation error on your part.

    I love the new intro, makes my heart fill with joy. Along with the articles, this game will make a 10 of 10. So far they have kept it to my liking; no more games in which 100+ marines die, making the squads more personal and upgradeable, and a bit more on the realistic side of combat.

    DAW was by far the greatest RTS made so far, and DOW II will take my breath away… it… hey look I’m the Community BotW… Woot

  3. i wouldn’t have said anything if I thought there was a chance of misinterpretation, I’m very forgiving when people put lots of time and effort into something(like this trailer), however most if not all of the lore discrepancies wont be picked up on by most people, which is why I simply mentioned them instead of detailing every one, that and the glaring ones are simple common seance ones however require a fairly in depth knowledge of 40K fluff to realize/understand, like the SM going down after a single banshee blade stab to any ware other than the head.

  4. Tim please for the love of god shut up about the minor lore glitches. There are such things as exceptions.

  5. WOW…that was cool. I

  6. love the way they did warp spiders although that isn’t how the warp spider close combat weapon works

  7. what do u mean that is not how it works? He teleported next to him and shot his Duel Deathspinners. Then proceeded to stab him b4 taking a bolt pistol to the face.

  8. Chris you can suck ma balls, there is no such thing as a lore “glitch” or exception, as last time I checked SMs had a redundant lung and hart along with a gland that allows there blood to clot instantaneously on contact with air, when you settle for something, people do that same thing but more outrageously, like the movie they wanted to make with an SM falling in love with an assassin or something, I don’t F**KIN think so, and that’s exactly why Games Workshop told them to screw off.

  9. that all was right but warp spiders don’t have just plain blades on their wrists

  10. As much as I hate to admit it, that vid makes the eldar looks cool. The banshees howl sounds incredible

  11. I thought the video was aawesome. I really could care less if the warp spider don’t usualy have a blade on their wrist.

  12. that was the warp spider exarch.

  13. Correct it’s an exach, which do have those blades. And Tim you are right as well a SM Should not go down in stab, they have mutible hearts so they cant use ‘he was stabbed in the heart’ excuse…

  14. dont forget they are power weapons, nor did they show the marine actually dying, just him getting stabbed.

  15. it made cracking sounds and punctured his gut, in my experience that’s meant to make people die, also a power weapon wouldn’t matter much as the SMs blood instantaneously clots after the power sword leaves the wound, so again not a huge problem and that banshee would be toast, which is why if you have an SM in a true fluff mentality(like in a cinematic ;P ) a 1000 SM to a chapter is quite a few as 1 can very easily dispatch lesser planetary threats no problem, as you pretty much have to destroy there head or cut them to ribbons/explode them to stop them, IF you can get through there armor first ;) .

  16. Tim, STFU.

    No one cares. It was an awesome trailer, Banshees and Warp Spider Exarchs can kill Marines with a single blow (cos I dunno, they spend their entire lives learning how to kill things with blades, I think they could take down a Marine with one hit). We all know Marines are tough, but you would expect an Aspect Warrior with a power sword to be capable of taking them out really fast. There are no lore ‘glitches’, you are just making shit up to sound intelligent.

    BTW, it’s Tyranids that the Eldar Farseer is pointing at ;)

  17. thats wat i was thinking on the ‘nids but r u positive about that being them?? either that or it looked like a warp storm that was covering up the moons i dunno
