DoW 3 Campaign Interview

By Paranoid Kamikaze - 19th June 2016 - 01:39 AM

While Relic was at E3 they had actually done more than the presentation at the PC Gamer Show. They had also sent Brent Disbrow, DoW 3 Campaign Lead, to do an interview with Gamespot. I'll go ahead and leave in point form the information that I could get from it and then you can go check out the full video, where they also show some more footage from the game.
  • Imperial Knight is weak to melee
  • New cover system is because they didn't think hiding behind rocks and logs would suffice
  • Lascannons do more damage over time and their beam colour changes to reflect that
  • Cover has health and it can be destroyed forever
  • He seems to really like Dreadnoughts
  • Can choose what unit comes out of drop pods
  • Landing drop pods on enemy units is funny. No confirmation that it would be like killing a Carnifix in early DoW 2
  • Emphasized how there would be large battles, but never had any on screen
  • Campaign shown was not at the beginning. Was far in
  • Weapons were really bright and noticeable
  • Had units in a shadow or dark spot numerous time to show lighting can make them look more dark and grim. Here's my screenshot taken from their low res video
  • There are little micro things you can do like use a perfectly timed reflect on a grenade to bounce it back. One of the reasonings for the clear art style
  • They have multiplayer working
  • Balance designers kicked everyones ass
  • Release in 2017. Not just a site saying 2017 as a placeholder or some random rumour. Someone at Relic actually said it
