Multiplayer trailer.

So Full 3 player coop campaign
Stand Alone 3 player coop operations
6v6 PvP

Featuring 6 classes with unique loadouts, full character customisation including chapter (for operations/PvP)

Honestly every time I see this it just looks better and better.

[BosmerCulter]

I just hope it will be well optimized, the last videos looked rough....

 

[makaveli60]

I have never ever played a WH game and actually I almost know nothing about the universe but this game seems pretty good. Will this be a linear, story driven game? I mean sort of like Gears of War?

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

This looks amazing tbh.

 

[GymWolf]

Hopefully the single player campaign is not just an afterthought.

Not sure if i'm happy with the strong focus on multyplayer, i need to see more.

Yeah the key difference between it and Gears is it's not a cover shooter... you are the cover. It's the game that effectively invented the "keep killing to heal" mechanic that made Doom 2016 such an aggressive shooter. I would recommend picking up the original for cheap, while a little dated and has its issues (a few parts with too much walking)

It's great fun for the most part and a great introduction into the world of 40k. Honestly the fact more didn't play it at launch really was travesty, it was better than 90% of the titles released that year and the PvP multiplayer was fantastic fun, glad it's returning in this.

Sounds good. I meant more of a game structure comparison with GoW. Story is important to me, so if the game is all about mindless killing then I’m not that interested but if there is a story behind it with cinematics etc. then I will likely give it a chance.

Oh yeah shitloads about an hour of cutscene in a realtively short game, and you work with several companions throughout the campaign and 2 other space marine battle brothers, so they do that bit where they chat inbetween the battles as well, as there with you throughout (like gears). The plots a one off (although not anymore) but effectively it's an everyday mission for the Ultramarines, that slowly turns into something more important than they planned



That's the opening.

 

[MarkyG]

Environments - S+
Marine's face detail/animations - D-

They stick out like a sore thumb. Otherwise, I'm psyched for the game.

 

[MrRenegade]

Didn't watch it, lol. Too many potential spoilers.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

They should do something like this for Warhammer Fantasy.

As a former table-top player, I'd be all over it.

*on console

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

I'm very impressed. Can't wait to play with my buds

 

[Lucifers Beard]

First game had a fun SP campaign and a good MP. I'm confident that they will have put a good amount of effort into the single player here. Also good to see that MP doesn't look like an after thought though, the first games multiplayer was really fun imo.

I mean recently vermintide 2 has had its development continued with more and more content coming out, but yeah a sort of 3rd person action game would be pretty cool. Never been huge into Fantasy, but I did play Warhammer Online back in the day and really enjoyed waging war as a Black Orc in that style.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Man, i'm not even a WH40K geek and yet, i almost came with the trailer...Please be good, please be good, please be good...
...who are we kidding, they'll find a way to fuck this up, won't they ? (terrible performance, heavy MTX bullshit for the MP etc etc).

 

[kikkis]

I think this looks like one of the few next gen games.

Yeah, I never really liked the Empire and Skaven.

I'm all about the Dark Elves vs High Elves.

That looks good!

Nice. Picking this up for PC, as I haven't played it in years. There's a fair number of decent mods that update the graphics and lighting somewhat.

Okay, I’m in for the second game, thanks! I will watch a story recap of the first before that (as it seems it’s stuck on the ps360 gen and I don’t play on PC)

 

[splattered]

Goddamn this looks fantastic, me and wife gonna play campaign with my son. He's gonna freak when he sees this trailer.

 

[winjer]

Hopefully, this will be the online experience that Darktide was meant to be.

 

[Manwithoutfear]

the first one was absolutely amazing. I have high hopes for this and speed freaks. can't wait!

 

[Represent.]

my god

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Marine's face detail/animations - D-

Yeah, faces and facial animations are stuck in the X360/PS3 era undfortunately, hair is also not great

About season pass. If I were to guess, I think they're going to be doing stuff for multiplayer and co-op, not for the SP mode. Co-op and MP looks cool, can't wait to see and hear more about these modes.

 

[Mossybrew]

Lookin good, hope this doesn't disappoint.

 

[March Climber]

A lot of Gears fans liked the first game. I recommend trying it out.

 

[Trogdor1123]

This reminds me of a cross between 40k and multiplayer mode on mass effect 3, it’s going to be awesome.

Question for pc people. I have a 5800x3d and a amd 6800 and 32 gigs of ddr3200. Should I be able to get 60 fps at 1080p? I know it’s hard to say till the game comes out but is it possible?

 

[FunkMiller]

I can thoroughly recommend buying the first game for PC while its cheap as chips on Steam. I don't know whether its because 'modern' games are made the way they are, but it feels like such a good game to play, even though its twelve years old. Huge amount of fun. Think I'll get right through the single player campaign again, and then have a go at multiplayer.

 

[Mephisto40]

It's good that they've actually taken the effort to include chaos space marines as the other faction in the 6v6 pvp

 

[Morrie’s wig shop]

Goooood, I can’t for this!!!! I’ll set up all my little hand painted statues around the screen while playing lol, just kidding but for real…

 

[R6Rider]

Looking fantastic!

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Game looks like it is going to be fantastic.

You'll get that and more no problem.

They had them in the original game too, the multiplayer was often praised as it was pretty damn fun at the time.



So we old players are super happy there keeping it along with the expanded coop modes. Although it's down to 6v6 from 8v8.

Hope they kept the dreadnought assualt game mode.



Nothing like charging around the map as a giant death machine.

 

[LordBritish]

Gears of War meets Helldivers..

 

[Sybrix]

Looks like Gears Of War.

Which is a good thing.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Can the original be played with a controller on pc?

 

[Black_Stride]

Chaos Undivided.

 

[Fbh]

A new high budget game about manly men doing badass shit.
With a cool looking, gameplay focused campaign that can be played in Coop?
And a fun looking PVE mode?
AND a PVP mode?
All in one package?

Feels like a throwback to the 360 era in the best possible way.

 

[GymWolf]

Hopefully, this will be the online experience that Darktide was meant to be.

What do you mean? Gunplay and melee in that game are absolutely sublime.

 

[winjer]

Yes, they were. But there were so many issues at launch, regarding bugs and performance.
And the economy system was terrible. And the cosmetics. And the microtransactions.

I played the game like one year after launch so they probably fixed a lot of things.

Yes, but there are still plenty of things that are not fixed.
That is why the game has a Steam user score of 67%

If that's the case, it's going to sell a shit ton.

Gears of Warhammer

Gears copies a great deal from 40k, so no surprise this game would remind you of it.

 

[The Stig]

Loved the first game, had it on 360 and now steam. Criminally underrated.

well looks like that's not going to happen.



means that the season pass will be for the cosmetic packs mentioned if everything else is free.

 

[Balducci30]

This looks like it could be genuinely great???? Like what gears of war should’ve turned into
