Company of Heroes

In my opinion, the company that has not made a single bad game, Relic, has announced their next new game.

Not much information is available, but what is known is that it will be a WW2 rts based on their next-generation engine 'Essence' and it will feature Havock Physics Engine. They are promising dynamic battlefields and deep singla player action.

From the beginning Relic has been a company which products have been supreme quality all out, and maybe someday I might be working for them if I'm lucky.

Sounds like good news for all the Dawn of War fans

Hmm.

Relic sure knows how to make a good RTS, so I'd guess it will turn out good.

I'll be happy if it's basically a Dawn of War expansion pack with new ww2 models for the units.

no it's an entirely new engine from Dawn of War. the AI is designed around WWII units/technology rather than modified Warhammer 40k units/technology.

Well, if anyone's going to do it, might as well be the same company

sorry i don't really have much relic swag lying aboot.

i did just get to watch the E3 presentation demo...not fully polished yet but it looked really good. hopefully it will go online right around E3 so everyone here can see it and provide feedback.

Boo!

Nah, that's cool though. Always been a fan of Relic's games (the ones I've played, at least: HW1/2 and DoW) and this looks like another great one. Hell, they make the only RTS games I've been close to finishing since Warcraft II Looking forward to seeing it in motion.

The company of heroes site has gone live, and you can check some screens from there and I must say it could possibly be the most coolest RTS game ever. Like DoD but with more people on the battlefield and RTS view.

Interesting to see that RTS games start to reach more or less recent FPS quality graphics wise.
