I wept. In the name of the God Emperor, our undying lord, I am pleased.

By the Emperor's Hands that was fucking cool! My hype level just jumped from "Bored at work" to "Over 9000!" in an instant.
Please be like DoW and now DoW2, please be like DoW and not DoW2, please be like DoW and not DoW2...
There's a strong following for both games. If Relic can balance the two, they will hopefully be onto a winner. Of course, people will then complain that it wasn't 100% like DoW1 or 100% like DoW2, but if those are the games you love, they still exist. They say there will be base building, so that should please many DoW lovers.
Steam states that right now 701 people are playing Soulstorm.
There doesn't seem to be anyone playing the other versions of DoW
400 are playing DoW2
856 are playing DOW2 Retribution
So obviously DoW2 has the bigger following and personally I prefer DoW2 to DoW1, but even if they edge back towards DoW1 I will be happy, as long as they keep all the positive aspects of DoW2.
I just frown at people who just want an updated copy of a previous game. If you love it so much, go play that one. We progress nowhere by just copying the same game over and over. Look at CoD. Boooooring.
As for the video...I wept. The Emperor, blessed be his name, I am pleased.
How they will manage to make all this work AND include Knights is beyond me. But if anyone can do it, Relic can.
