Oh bloody hell!

Sunjammer

Goddamn; I may finally need to upgrade.

Yaeg

YES...my god YES!!!

I can't wait for this!!!

exkon

Looks pretty damn sexy thus far. Let's hope it's not just a graphical overhaul for the same old game. I enjoyed DoW and the addons, I'd like to see the next step.

Shirleycakes

DoW2 and SC2...

my brain will melt trying to handle both at the same time.

Komrade_Kayce

Thank you Kotaku as a six year old I never pass those age requirement screens anyways.

Komrade_Kayce

Shiny.

TychoCelchuuu

Oh my. Those are some damn nice screens.

Pai Pai Master

No way in hell my Pc will ever run this. Time to buy a new one, I guess. Purge the unclean!

Shiryu

Pretty Lights!

I wonder what the system-specs on that will be. Also, the terrain in the screenshots is oddly reminiscent of the starcraft series' stacked-plateau maps. (I'm not a DoW player - yet - so I'm not sure if this is normal or not, or just something I'm noticing)

omicron1

Woohoo!

Now for Tyranids!

Roguestriker

I hope those sounds effects are place holders .... because they suck.

Randroid

I think my computer just started to dry looking at that.... better go get another job now to pay for a new comp *sigh*

-itis

I want this more than SC2, I won't lie.

brennan

I need to go put on clean shorts...

This AND a warhammer MMO...it's going to be nice in 9..12..15 months (or 2010) whenever I have both...

The only RTS I have enjoyed as much as this in the last couple of years is Sins of a Solar Empire (yes I know Sins is a bit different)

figaro1010

Looks promising. Can't wait to see how my brand-spanking new Geforce 9600 GT superclocked handles it. (Sorry, I have to gloat...I haven't had a worthwhile computer since 2003)

On a side note...I've never been a fan of teaser trailers. They just seem like commercials for commercials. That being said, this one was kinda cool. Consider me teased.

Cogito

ok, i'll wait until this is released to upgrade my pc, i've been waiting for awhile... but i'll have to wait a bit more I guess.

an advise to some of you: don't upgrade your pc for a game BEFORE the game is released!, check out in forums how it goes on different configurations first.
Many people got dissapointed that their new PC couldn't run crysis for example.

Waka in Japan

screens are better than the teaser

TheNocturnalSun

there's a joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart
where?
down in my heart
where?
down in my heart!

Sudden Device

@TheNocturnalSun: pretty sure the teaser is the ingame engine

@omicron1: thats normal for DoW

belo

Already saving up for a new PC for this.

Like others have said I'm more excited about this than SC2.

Diesel_Power

Okay, was I the only one to hear the sound effect of a World of Warcraft lion/tiger dieing?

Hitokiri151

Why wasn't there anybody in that video screaming "FOR THE EMPEROR!"?

mergedwarrior

In the name of the Emperor, they better have every race in by the time they finish all of the Expansions.

Pezdispenser

can't wait to see what the Tyranids look like.

clintonskneecap

I really hope Jeremy Soule will be on board for the music. The soundtrack from DoW in addition to Secret of Evermore's are my favorite of his works. *fingers crossed*

Arahem

SC2 has the lucrative IP and nostalgia factor, but i'm getting Review-wise DoW2 is going to bury it.

over a decade, and all they've added are some new units... blizzard, please... get off your asses and quit programming to the lowest common denominator... make low settings for people with older hardware, and higher ones with people who have newer hardware >=(

thatwhichdoesnotkillme_onlyprolongstheinevitable

@thatwhichdoesnotkillme_onlyprolongstheinevitable:

Once again, SC was made for the most perfectly balanced RTS.

They can make SCII with original SC graphics and UI, and it will still outsell any RTS for the next coming years.

Fyren

whaa! i can't wait....

zerokenta

Now I don't feel so bad about not playing the first DoW. (Let the lynching begin!)

Anyway, I don't think it's too far a stretch to assume that DoW2 will sport an upgraded Company of Heroes engine. This IS THQ we're talking about here.

In any case, I'll definitely get this title, despite my wife's protests!

Schizzy

Now I don't feel so bad for not buying the first DoW :P Only played the demo (Let the lynching begin)

I don't think it's too far a stretch to assume that DoW2 will use an upgraded Company of Heroes engine. This IS Relic and THQ we're talking about anyways.

In any case, I'm definitely gonna buy this one, despite my wife's protests!

Schizzy

@thatwhichdoesnotkillme_onlyprolongstheinevitable:
Im not quite sure what you meant by the last part. I get SCII is pretty much SC1 with new units...
But what do you mean by settings for people with older hardware and people with newer hardware..
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I thought Blizzard already did a pretty good job of programming for both... I never am disappointed with the graphical detail in a Blizzard game, but then again I am not WOWed (BAD PUN) either.
WoW doesn't really stress many computers, I get it...but really come on...put out a game with Crysis level graphics (or whatever comparison there is at the time) and you are already limiting your market...not something you want to do when you already limit yourself to just the PC market anyway.
Blizzard always struck me as hitting the middle between high end and low end with their engines.
In Diablo 2 I remember selecting 640 resolution and 16 bit textures for my old voodoo3 card, and 800 resolution and 32 bit textures when I upgraded to whatever model Geforce was prevalent at the time...

figaro1010

FOR THE EMPEROR!

Polterg3ist

If nothing else, the first screen makes me smile. That Up->Move to new location->Down jump-pack mechanic still makes me cringe.

Moonshadow101

I didn't see a single Tyranid in these screen or in the teaser trailer. Do they actually want people to buy this game?

mordennight

This is the sole reason for me to buy a new PC next year.

I'm sure Starcraft 2 will be a huge success, but I have to say that SC2 seems outdated already when compared to CoH/DoW 2, but then again even Starcraft was outdated when it was released compared to Total Annihilation, but it was different game and liked them both a lot.

Still I'm lot more excited about this game than SC2, I don't have time anymore for multiple games.

Hansel

If my space marine commander/brother-captain gets Shadow of the Colossus style moves and bullet-time gameplay this might be the greatest thing ever. Not that I really expect that, even if it was in the trailer, but it's a happy little dream. And their were some cool finishing moves in DoW 1. Like everyone else, this will almost certainly be the game that makes me upgrade. And mordennight? When was the last time the very first teaser for a game showed every single anticipated unit/race/class or whatever?

icelight

This game is not scheduled to release until 2009, I have a feeling they will keep a tight lid on the nid's at least for awhile.

I'm really hoping they don't miss any factions either it's a monumental task to create and balance all the factions from the GW universe. We aren't talking about 3 simple races like in SC1+2. We have 11 factions on the tabletop game now with a 12th coming in a few months (Daemons).

I really wish Games Workshop would cross promote at least a little bit this time around. The warhammer fantasy MMO is getting an exclusive mini. Hopefully they have seen the light.

Final thought:
DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR!
