Looking pretty awesome. :E

 

[Darkside55]

Called it.

 

[Reginald]

Called it.

Say what?

We've known Tyranids were going to be in it for about 3 months or so. This is the first gameplay we've seen though.

 

[Bad^Hat]

OMG, Starcraft rip-off tbh.

More like the tyranid gameplay is a rip-off from zergs, precisely.

The vid makes me want Teardown all the more(New Space Hulk-based game)

Didn't Tyranids inspire the Zerg?

Didn't Tyranids inspire the Zerg?

Yeah, 'nids came out in 1993, iirc.
Starcraft and Warcraft are basically both Warhammer RTSes with a few changes here and there.

Must have. Where? Show me where, boy!

EDIT: Googled. And OMG. Surely there is some torrent or something of it somewhere?! D:

EDIT2: Yes there is. :E

I called it when I did an E3 trailer preview for it. Which was six months ago. When my boss was at E3 and I was being like, "E3 HAS NO GAEMS, ALSO TYRANIDS"

TBH most people called it after Dark Eldar were confirmed for SS, Nids were the only race from the TT game that hadn't been done (due to limits in the DoW engine, according to relic) so thier inclusion in DoW 2 was more or less invevitable.

Yes, but I'm talking about gameplay here. In this case, they kinda ripped-off zerg's gameplay from starcraft.

 

[Eejit]

Yes but their gameplay is largely based on their concept. Large numbers of mainly melee units.

 

[Edcrab]

...please tell me that old chestnut isn't cropping up again.

Anyway. Looking awesome. I'll miss Chaos, but I'll get over it- especially because they'll likely appear in an expansion.

I'm pretty sure burrowing inside the ground and attacking at the same time isn't one of tyranid's concept.
