Eugh.
The God Emperor of mankind is dead.
And then it shuts down in 6 months, the end.
[I]Across the ethereal, twisting planes of the Warp, trillions of voices, emanating from souls from times past and times that will be, speak out. Their collective outcry shudders the fabric of non-existence, rattling the very core of the multi-verse. The elder gods and their spawn are even given pause by the immensity of the voices, though the cry is merely one word. One known to Man and Xeno alike.[/I] [B]"Eugh."[/B]
This won't work, not because "boo hoo, it's another MOBA", but because League and DOTA are the only kings in the ring right now. Unless this turns out to be some ground breaking, balanced gold nugget, it's only going to fail. Just like every other moba that tried and failed in the last few years.
Its like a top down smite. It's not very good in it's current state, but has some interesting mechanics (everyone can dodge with a short 'dash' kind of ability, manual aiming, etc)

How many RTS games actually challenge Starcraft and Company of Heroes when it comes to long-term and widespread followings? If companies don't try to make new MOBAs the genre stagnates. The more companies that are jumping in to try to make a mark in this newish genre, the bigger the push for innovation
Still no DoW3
If they want this to stand any chance at all, they should probably go the HOTS route and make it a fast-paced 'team brawler' kind of experience. Hell, for 40k I'd go with WASD movement and mouse aiming over click-to-move.
THE EMPEROR HAS ABANDONED US
I know they're one of the main races but i'm so sick of Orks taking the showcase in 90% of 40k games.

I realize the Moba market is huge and lucrative, But for fucks sake, someone must have watched the mmo thing play out, and how the established big players in that genre consistently forced all the stragglers out of the market. Who the fuck plans these games out exactly? Money straight out the fucking window. And it also looks like yet another warhammer 40k game that treats the source material like vague suggestions, like the universe can be bent to fit into any shape you fancy. Like, whats next, a warhammer 40k squig grooming simulator? You wont attract the dota/lol crowd, you wont appeal to warhammer fans because youre not making the grand strategy game we all want, so you got nothing, idiots.
So instead of Space Marine 2 or DOW3 we get this shit? Does GW/Sega not want money?
they included what looks like Khârn the Betrayer if that Tau character has even a fraction of a chance against him in melee, i'm going to laugh[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;49149770]I know they're one of the main races but i'm so sick of Orks taking the showcase in 90% of 40k games.[/QUOTE]showcase? they're not even in the focus here. or in DoW, or Eternal Crusade, or Space Hulk, or even that new Deathwatch game.
