      Hi, Kai!
      Watching this and you mentioned the heaviness and weight of the giant creatures at around the 10:00 mark and it reminded me of "Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV". It's an entirely CG animated movie released before Final Fantasy XV to give more context and story behind the events that happen before the game. There's a scene near the end of it that has these *Massive* creatures fighting it out, and think it would be awesome if you'd take a look at it (or the movie as a whole). Despite the creatures both being ridiculously large, some of them are noticeably smaller than the others and due to that more speedy. Similar to something like Pacific Rim where one of the Jaegars is built for speed, while still having that impact and uumph to it.
      In my opinion the entire movie is worth the watch and I think your reaction to it as a whole would be awesome, but the final fight scene in particular would be really cool to see your reaction to.

    18:54 what is brilliant about it - it's because for the FIRST time in all 40k content somebody did make "wraith bone" armor RIGHT. Wraith bone is a unique material, it is a form of crystallized psychic energy that can exist as a solid in realspace brought forth from the Warp and shaped by an craftworld's eldar (bonesingers) concentrating his thoughts and intent upon it. It is a psycho-plastic material that is highly resilient to damage, and capable of limited self-repair (!). It, and the other building materials of the Aeldari, will grow and react more like living tissue than the building materials of other intelligent species (expect necrons and tyranids). On my memory it's the best display of such properties of basically "psy-bone" material in 40k arts/cinematics.

      @@shykorustotora Hmm you don't seem to really want to get convinced why people don't like it but I will give it an honest try. I got this game for free from a graphic card purchase and did not care about early reviews as people tend to get overly salty about stuff and I wanted to try it. I got several hundred gameplay hours in DoW I & II. So let's get to my reasoning: Apart from starting weak with only 3 factions, only a few maps and a single campaign while having clunky micro the thing that bothered me the most BY far was Gabriel Angelos jumping around like Yoda in the campaign with his heavy Terminator armor. By turning the game into a hybrid of DoW I & II with heavy focus on the "moba-esque" gameplay by having odd skills slapped onto heroes they completely disregarded the IP of Warhammer 40k. And the IP was carrying the series to begin with. Also while I hear it often as a reason for it being bad, the moba aspect was not the real problem as DoW II has it as well. So people who are not into 40k lore might find the game ok.
      tl;dr: If you make something using any IP, respect the IP and it's lore.

    18:08 The whole quote in DoW3 trailer is about the Space Marine that about to die (in the face of death I will have no remorse), it's some sort of his last litany.
    The passage about "In throes of rage, I shall hone my craft." it's about the craft of all space marines, their craft is death. It's their famous quote/slogan, just like in 300 movie - "Spartans, what is your profession?!" Just like in the Space Marine pledge:
    What is your life? - My honor is my life.
    What is your fate? - My duty is my fate.
    What is your fear? - My fear is to fail.
    What is your reward? - My salvation is my reward.

    The DoW 1 cinematic is indeed legendary among game cinematics.
    The slow/stuttering when the sword eldar attacked was the represantation of their phsycic scream ability.
    Big white mech is a Eldar "wraithknight", the human mech is a "Imperial Knight".
    DoW3 cinematic looks really good and has some very cool stuff in it, unfortunately the game itself flopped hard because it heavily departed from the previous games in unwelcome ways.

    one other comment talked about the Pariah Nexus, but just to give you a breakdown of the current official Warhammer Animations from Games Workshop in Warhammertv
    Pariah Nexus: it's primarily about the Necrons, from the point of view of a Sister of Battle trying to survive in a destroyed Imperium world now overrun with Necrons. it's 3 episodes
    The Exodite: it's a story about the cycle of violence and war, following the point of view of a Tau squad hunting down an Aeldari Exodite in a Battle between the Tau Empire and the Imperium of Man, as the Aeldari is trying to sabotage peace negotiations. this is also 3 episodes.
    Iron Within: told from the point of View of the Imperial Guard as they are failing to defend their Planet from a Dark Eldar Raid, until space marines arrive to save them...or are they? this is just one episode
    Broken Lance: it's a story told from the pov of the Imperial Knights as they defend an Imperial Knight World from a Chaos Invasion. it's also one episode
    then there's Hammer and Bolter that's more of an anthology with different animation styles and stories per episode, and it's a mix of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Age of Sigmar stories.
    the last one I'm aware of that's already released is Angels of Death, which might be the longest series so far with 10 episodes and 3 prequel episodes, it follows a group of Blood Angels Space Marines.
    but there's a new series coming out called "The Tithes" and I think it's gonna be an anthology.
    I've only watched Pariah Nexus, The Exodite, and Iron Within, and I have to say Pariah Nexus is the most well animated of the three, while I find that both Pariah Nexus and Exodite have great stories both, I can't say much for Iron Within as I've only watched it once. but I highly recommend watching Pariah Nexus and Exodite, but I think Iron within is still worth at least a watch. and I think Angels of Death deserves a watch too even if it's a bit longer as it's so much more stylized than the others here.

    Dawn of War 2 is my personal favorite since i love great storytelling and this game is full of it.

    The trailer for 3 is legitimately one of my favourite game trailers, right up there with Halo Reach's Deliver Hope, ODST's We Are ODST, and the Titanfall 2 live action trailer. I cannot tell you how much that trailer got me hyped for 3. I know nothing about film making or any of that, but the music, the voiceover, the surreality of it, it got me good. The reveal of the wraithknight had me so excited. The eldar were always my favourite faction and the wraithknight is one of my favourite units, and the buildup and reveal of it was amazing. It also had to do with the fact that I was not expecting us to get knight units at all, so that scene with the knight stepping past, then the shot of them standing there, got me so exited.

  • @batcat4136
    @batcat4136 2 месяца назад +1

    A really cool thing, at least in the first two trailers, is that they subtly represent what the games are like.
    The first game is more of a grand RTS so you see these two armies duking it out, nonstop action, selling the energy of the game and the universe.
    But the second game is much smaller scale. You go from building and controlling an army with vehicles and buildings and stuff to more of a special forces vibe, at most 4 squads at a time that you then grow and improve, so in the trailer it’s just about a dozen warriors who face off in the middle of a jungle. No big battlefield, no bombastic artillery, very close quarters fighting with both sides stalking/hunting each other. And then of course the dreadnought steals the show, as it does in both games as well.
    Threes trailer, while excellent in its own right, is more just cinematic spectacle. I did absolutely love it when it came out, and I was very hyped for the game (which made the disappointment that much more crushing). It does showcase some new things, like the fact Knights are in the game (which they weren’t in the first two) but I at least don’t get as much of a feel for how the game will play like I do in the first two trailers. That might just be coloured by the poor quality of the game, though.
    Fantastic analysis all in all

    On the strange proportions of the DoWIII marines - the game has a very stylized esthetic. Basically the story of DoWIII is told as a murky prophecy as told by an Eldar Seer trapped in a state between life and death, which is why the whole thing got a very surreal, dreamlike vibe going for it. The events you see in the trailer are indeed not ment to be taken literally, and the game's characters are generally presented as larger-than-life figures who all seem to exist in a featureless void.

    Man, the sound of that Dreadnought's Assault Cannon revving up and unleashing hell on that hillside in the DoW 1 cinematic is just sex in my ears man. It's like watching an A-10 Thunderbolt II absolutely pulverizing a target with it's GAU-8 Avenger cannon. SO satisfying
    In the DoW 2 one, the bigger threat is the Tyranid Hive Fleet descending upon the recruitment worlds of the Blood Ravens Chapter. Tyranids are basically Zerg (initially Zerg were meant to be Tyranids as Starcraft was originally designed as a 40K game but GW pulled out partway through, so Blizzard repurposed the assets they'd created), and have entered our galaxy from outside in order to consume ALL biomass and convert it into more Tyranids. Also, LOVE the Dreadnought's vox-unit saying in that inhuman and dispassionate voice "I HAVE COME TO DESTROY YOU"

    The DoW 3 cinematic has heavy inspiration from Zdzisław Beksiński, a polish painter (who was murdered in 2005). The chest on the Emperor statue is almost a copy paste of the Trumpeter, and the texture of Eldars armor and the structure they jumped out of is 100% Zdzisław's style.

I remember seeing it for the first time and I'm a huge fan of the Dark Eldar and particularly the Howling Banshees. So when it cuts to that shot with the banshee in its little cave, I was so sold on the game. Plus the Eldar mechs are just so cool. I was so ready for this game and was so disillusioned with the final product.

    Always key thing to remember kai, those imperial machines you seen were knights. The god machines of man kind (titans) scale even bigger. Sizes are pretty debated but I'm pretty sure a safe baseline is 20/25m for warhounds, 30-35m for warlords and 45-50m for imperators. I think knights roughly are 15-18 meters depending on the type.

It allows them to create shockwaves that both destroy a person's body and mind by screaming their rage at them. I think that frame rate thing is representing that. Blurred vision and disorientation and all that.
    Yeah, Dawn of War 3 was kind of one of those things what was done by people that knew just enough about 40k to be off just enough to hit that uncanny valley. Not one of those people that think it's the worst 40k game ever, it's just not, but it's average and that's not really acceptable when the other 2 where like 9/10 games. Still Sega hired Blur studios to do the intro and they knocked it out of the park for the most part.

    One cool thing about the DoW 2 trailer is that you don't get that "full" version until you complete the campaign. It ends when you see the "clouds", because you only know about the Tyranid threat at mid-campaign more or less. I haven't played it in a while but I think what I said is correct unless i'm misremembering.

    Dawn of war 2 i think was still made by BLUR, and this time space marines have proper size and fighting enemy that does represent big threat to them.

    I love these trailers, they're all well animated, but my biggest gripe is in the end when the two "Giant Mechs" fight, the fight is fantastic, but the scale is very exaggerated.
    both the Aeldari Wraithknight and the Imperial Knight are so much bigger than they're supposed to be. the trailer makes it seem that space marines are almost as big as ants to them, when in reality, a space marine would stand to up about their mid to upper shin. the scale they're shown in the trailer is the scale that Titans are, which the Knights are so much smaller than.
    but I forgive it because the third trailer is very symbolic and metaphorical instead of a literal battle like the first two game's trailers.
