RexHavoc Posted Thursday at 05:30 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:30 PM Its looks rather dull (colour wise I mean) and what little game play is shown, it looks kind of empty. I'm not really a fan of RTS games (Which I know is odd, as someone that like huge mass battle wargames!) so I'm probably not the target audience for this, but I'd hoped for AoS game that was bright, vibrant and crammed with troops and oddities. This could be any basic mobile battle game, I'd not tell it was AoS from the gameplay alone. Also not a big deal, but seems odd to be finally getting an AoS game like this, only for it to be in the realm of beasts when its safe to assume that a new edition will be here 'soonish' and will no longer be focused on Ghur. 🤷♂️ As someone that has thrown together some pretty dodgy looking games of their own, I can appreciate the time to make a good quality game! But I would expect something flashier for a game based on a GW core game! Hopefully this is just a case of announcing a game far too early! Should have waited to show this off when they had a full blown game play trailer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Klatz Posted Thursday at 06:02 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 06:02 PM Apparently the devs confirmed 4 start factions. So Stormcast Eternals, Orruk Warclans and then two up for debate. We got pics of a mage Ogroid so that’s either Tzeentch or Slaves to Darkness. And fourth faction has to be Death so place your bets on which of the that is. My Shadeglass money’s on Ossiarchs for another unique faction and their narrative of wanting Ghur to experiment on monster bones while Ghur barbarians make excellent bone donors.

The Lost Sigmarite Posted Thursday at 06:22 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:22 PM (edited) First of all : great to see AoS finally getting a big, serious licensed videogame. I'll be patiently waiting for the gameplay demo because to me gameplay is what's most important in a videogame. But 1/ RTS is awesome, and a genre that has sadly fallen from popularity since the glory days of my childhood (Age of Empires, Halo Wars, Company of Heroes and Dawn of War were my jam back in ye old 00s/early 10s), but is making somewhat of a resurgence now, in part thanks to new releases like this. So more RTSs, the better. And 2/ it's on 3 platforms with crosscompatibility, which is great imo. Being very accessible to people is one of the core principles of AoS, and it looks like Realms of Ruin has ported that from tabletop to screen, controller and mouse/keyboard. And before you ask yes RTS can be a joy to play on console. Halo Wars being a great example. For the rest, so far, it looks good ! Models are accurate versions of the tabletop, terrain looks nice if a bit repetitive, animations look smooth and cool. Glad it's going to have a campaign. Even if I would have prefered someone else than Gav Thorpe to write it. Guy is def not a "Black Library legend" imo. Also I would be more willing to bet on Nighthaunt for the 4th faction. Overall happy, my angst about the game has been mostly dissipated and looking forward for the gameplay !

Jator Posted Thursday at 10:20 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:20 PM (edited) This look good! I was expecting a crappy movile game, but this is for the big consoles and PC, and I think it can be big for AoS. I'm sadly not much into RTS (a shame, those kruleboyz look dope) but might give a try whenever the price drops. For the death faction I think either the Avengori vampires or FEC would be the best fit for Ghur, but Nighthaunts are cool and probably the most popular option, I won't complain.

willange Posted Thursday at 11:13 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:13 PM I’m feeling cautiously optimistic for this game. In the short term, i just hope it has an enjoyable and replayable gameplay loop. I’m the medium term, I hope it doesn’t have too many severe bugs. In the long term, I hope it does well enough to represent the majority of AoS factions one day. Can wait for gameplay! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyshadow Posted Friday at 12:54 PM Share Posted Friday at 12:54 PM Wow, what a fantastic looking game. It inspired me to light a fire under my Thondian terrain project I am working on. Really incredible the way the game brings my favourite location in the Mortal Realms to life. Would love to play it when it comes out. Super, super cool! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommissarRotke Posted Friday at 02:22 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:22 PM (edited) thought I had created a general gaming thread with Stormground but can't find it! Thanks Baron!! This game looks like it will be a solid, fun RTS to play at the very least. I am also now realizing that "RTS" as a staple must now be so old that people forgot how they look and feel? 20 hours ago, RexHavoc said: I'd hoped for AoS game that was bright, vibrant and crammed with troops and oddities. This could be any basic mobile battle game, I'd not tell it was AoS from the gameplay alone they're not going to show battlefield details for an initial reveal, they're going to show all the units off--and they could not have looked more AOS so I'm very confused by this? they are straight from the Dominion box and Frontier probably got to use the 3D renders from GW themselves. RTS games have empty spaces because that's where the troops need to maneuver and fight in. There are objectives we can see on the minimap and some shots of map details that will flesh out map details. They have not even shown us full gameplay so we cannot say how large (or small) the battles will be. 2 hours ago, Tizianolol said: Guys do you know if they planning to add new factions? Or they temain 4?:) No one knows, we don't have that info yet. We can guess yes because Frontier is great about after-launch support. Cities, Lumineth, Seraphon, OBR, SBGL, and all of Chaos have enough units to be new factions. I'm expecting a couple Ironjawz units to flesh out Kruleboyz (unless they're getting a new heavy infantry kit). DOK, Sylvaneth, FS, and IDK might come as mercs if not their own small forces. Dawn of War 1 didn't launch with Imperial Guard, but had a lot of Guard NPCs during the campaign that pointed to a Guard expansion we got later. I'm expecting this in RoR as well. And if you need to cut off any grumbling about "no base building", you can tell people that means the combat will be better because you can actually focus on the engagements Edited Friday at 02:22 PM by CommissarRotke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizianolol Posted Friday at 03:56 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:56 PM I hope in a balanced pvp game , with better support on ranked games! Not like total war multiltiplayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novakai Posted Friday at 08:54 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:54 PM I hope the single player campaign is also immersive and enjoyable. Gav Thorpe is working on the game doing the narrative part so I hope the story is strong i do realistically expect hiccups on game balance as this is Frontier’s first RTS but just hope it fun to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollow Posted Friday at 09:10 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:10 PM Love RTS games and love AoS. Excited to learn more. Hopefully this actually builds into something great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted Saturday at 11:50 AM Share Posted Saturday at 11:50 AM Another bet for Nighthaunt. The whole 'army of ghosts' thing is pretty iconic to Age of Sigmar and they have a very nice default colour palette which contrasts nicely with just about every other faction - great for screenshots and marketing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefferson Skarsnik Posted Saturday at 01:03 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:03 PM Looks promising doesn't it? It's be cool for some of the more unusual, mechanically complex armies like Lumineth, Soulblight and OBR to make it in at some point, although it would probably have to be a good enough RTS to appeal to non-Warhammer people to sell enough to justify it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
