I think there needs to be more heavy metal music in gaming. There's some serious heavy metal going on in this video and i appreciate it and look forward to Stormgates' OST
I can't wait for July 30th! I keep my fingers crossed for further development of the game, I love what Frost Giant team doing and what a game they create with passion!
Wasn't going to comment but since there's so many negative dissenters I feel emboldened. Thank you for continuing the genre and style of game we love when the ones who started (blizzard) gave up and were prepared to let it die.
I am so happy to hear everything that has been said. I like to play RTS but the socialisation part was also very important to me. It is just boring to play alone. That is why I played Dota 2 a lot. I am sure it will be fun to play 3v3. Thank you for that decision. Also many of my friends don't like to focus on the economics of the base. I fully support the idea of an AI buddy for help in that direction. Thank you Frost Giant!
Really wish RTS games would by default now take onboard a lot of the UX innovations introduced by Supreme Commander. At times it can feel like the designers/publishers are so risk averse that they have to keep everything like starcraft, it is limiting innovation in the genre and instead risks stagnation. This is how the genre fell apart.
The level of details is not what matter the most. It is the art style that is lacking. The warcraft 3 remake looking worse than the original warcraft 3 is a good example for that.
I'm really excited and can't wait to try the game out. I don't care about the graphics at all. I'm just glad that there is finally an RTS game that is new, incorporates new tech and mechanics and most importantly has an active dev support team
Now that you mentioned it, it does look like a mobile game 😭. I was excited for this game until I saw your comment and now it really look look like a mobile game. Ruined 😢 😭
This is the Infernal Host's co-op commander called Maloc. These units are specific to co-op while playing as Maloc and are not present in 1v1 just to clarify.
^ Yep. Same reason they did all those interviews with content creators tooting their own horns about how amazing the game will be because they worked for Blizzard. But all that hype is coming back to bite them now that people see what they think "the next 10 years of RTS" looks like.
...so people can see what they're working on and their thought process in the design? Which drums up interest. The game releases in a few weeks, what do you mean?
Embarrassed that i was hype about SG when it was all secret this secret that. Ex blizz doing the next big thing. Ugh. Wc3 tone meets sc2 pathing, meets aoe did a lot of this before. Art for millenials with the boy body and female-y elf face. Are those futas? The splashy sounds, nothing HITS, see scbw ling vs sc2 ling sound. Scbw they chunk at stuff, sc2 sounds like they just splatter around. Sound, art, style, all not what im into. Theyre not making the game for me, no game was or is made for me. But i was hoping id like some aspect of it. This isnt for me.
@@HighLanderPonyYT Still simping for FGS huh? There won't be a later because FGS will be shut down inside of a year. There's no way they can sell enough campaigns and microtransactions with an unfinished/unpolished game to make it out of EA.
Stormgate will succeed just because of the passion of the devs. The game has Soul, just like Starcraft and Warcraft had in the pass before Blizzard went corrupt $$. Even if it the game comes with flaws never forget about No Mans Sky that was a disaster regarding flaws and yet, with dedication, they fixed almost everything and now the product shines. If Frost Giant keeps this spirit of love for the game they should figure it out how to overcome any challenge, flaws, that appears before them. I hope this becomes the next big RTS for the next gen.
Too much is copy-paste from older games. No risk means no gains. One or two new mechanics like no workers for the 3rd faction is not enough to justify the claim of a "new generation RTS". Still, looking forward to try it out in mid August. No pre-purchases as a rule of thumb.
0:27 Lol I recognize these shots from a suuuuuuper early SC2 trailer. Back when Infestors could still take over buildings and turn them into spawning points for Infested.
The faction design is just so uninspired and bland to me, the gameplay itself might be fantastic but I just can't get past how bad the graphics look. I want there to be new successful RTS games as I think the genre sorely needs them but presentation is everything. First impressions are important and this game needs a lot of work in the graphics department in my opinion.
I agree, but they said multiple times that they're not going to change style, so much for involving and listening to the community. This is the number one complaint. I play as a Zerg in SC2 and I can't stomach most of the Infernal units.
@@pixel1145 I'm a huge fan of the Zerg, I use to play them a lot back in the day. They have so much more personality and character in the design of their units compared to this and that was 14 years ago.
I agree with you on a personal level. I'm not a fan of the cartoony art style. StarCraft 2 already has a cartoony art style itself. However, I suspect the Devs have done their research on this. WC3, LOL, DOTA all have a more cartoony style and those collectively have much larger fan bases than SC2. Personally I'm ok with whatever makes this game succeed. I'd rather a popular RTS than one catering to me that is dead. I just hope this does turn out to be the right call.
They really need to stop calling this RTS game that would have been mediocre and not innovative in 2009 a next-gen game. Unless next-gen just means it has Facebook iPhone game ad art.
So you're going to have AI help the player play the game, so people can watch their units run around and fight instead of being commanded. I'm sure in no way is this going to ruin gaming or competitive play because we are just watching AI robots play now 😂
@@HighLanderPonyYT Not as clueless as the devs not realizing that it won't help ease new players into learning to play the game, it'll just be a crutch that 90% of them never turn off so they never improve.
@@SaveMeXenu Yes it will because the ai is gonna take away control from the player. As the person play they will get better and will want to do more specific build order, etc... But the ai is gonna get in the way of that so they will need to turn it off in order to gain more freedom. Saying newer players will never turn it off is like saying children who learn how to bike with guide wheels will never take them off.
With age of mythology, dust, and tempest rising comming up. This game is dead if it doesn't fix it's artstyle. Like even thier beta barely had new players, everyone was veterans
They won't fix the art style - it's too late for that. I've already moved on. Personally, I can't wait for Age of Mythology. Tempest Rising looks promising too.
Nothing new, same same old. Please do something that actually is innovative, not a Mothership protosslike angel race. Thats not innovation is recycling old ideas.
@HighLanderPonyYT yep, it's either me or the guys making a game about Demons!? And Angels!? In Space!? With Humans!? Which somehow share the same design philosophy as the game the devs came from, as innovation and next gen!? Buzzwords for idiots. So far it's just a random RTS game with bad graphics.
Lets hope the Dawn of War community stays away. They murdered their own game in 2 months for having a few MOBA-like elements, namely.. just heroes. You guys may make a new IP, but trust me it's easier this way.
To be fair to those games, they failed because the actual people who made Left 4 Dead GOOD (the devs from Valve that worked on it with Turtle Rock), didn't work on either Evolve or Back 4 Blood.
if u repeat the Reforged experience then there is not hope , that art style is a bad taste of my mouth and early acces and mtx? hope u guys know what are u doing because a combination SC warcraft Overwatch whatever is this abomination that try to much to bring memories instead making something new to claim our souls and mind into its universe it makes for me it looks like u guys lack of vision and rather a bait for nostalgia days of RTS ,many custom games could be good standalone games and have bigger vision with not even a 1$ . Tough love is an order to maintain they are doing right if they giving us garbage then is not hope...
This is about to be the hottest release of 2009 🔥🔥
You mean 2029
Hell it's about time!
I'm very happy that we will have new blizzard-style RTS, Starcraft and Warcraft are the best RTS series of all time.
Don't forget C&C and Company of Heroes
Looks and plays like trash
The graphics and attack feelings improvements shouldn’t be forgotten
I think there needs to be more heavy metal music in gaming. There's some serious heavy metal going on in this video and i appreciate it and look forward to Stormgates' OST
Heavy metal?
Nah, we need some oldies loves song in gaming
Like the chi lites
this game will never touch my hard drive.
Why
@@User_92020 why should it?
@@User_92020bc it will be installed in the RAM directly for the best performance😊

🔥🔥🔥 There's absolutely so much to look forward to, I can't wait for what's to come from Frost Giant Studios
I am so happy to hear everything that has been said. I like to play RTS but the socialisation part was also very important to me. It is just boring to play alone. That is why I played Dota 2 a lot. I am sure it will be fun to play 3v3. Thank you for that decision.

Thank you Frost Giant!
Happy with the improvements!
I liked C&C more because when I see things like 3:07, I don't know what to do with that, there's no frame of reference I have for what that is.
Really interested in how the global matchmaking will play out.
The gameplay and map remind me of Gates of Pyre, alongside Stormgate it's the most anticipated game launch this year.
Really wish RTS games would by default now take onboard a lot of the UX innovations introduced by Supreme Commander. At times it can feel like the designers/publishers are so risk averse that they have to keep everything like starcraft, it is limiting innovation in the genre and instead risks stagnation. This is how the genre fell apart.
Exactly!
*Supreme commander -> Total Annihilation
It looks like a Chinese, mobile SC2 wannabe.
Yeah... I've just invented a new dish - "meatballs. deconstructed."
Wish it didn't look like a game from 2008
You're in the wrong genre if you're after mind blowing graphics. The gameplay is the most important aspect and it's not even close.
@@TheKazzerscout arguing that graphics don't matter in a video game is crazy.
@@mickeyromeo You need to work on your reading comprehension.
The level of details is not what matter the most. It is the art style that is lacking. The warcraft 3 remake looking worse than the original warcraft 3 is a good example for that.
@@cedricb2344 You are right.
I sincerely hope that Stormgate is a huge success so they can afford better pizza than Dominos next time 🤞
Fans should petition a better pizza company to sponsor the team😂
They raised $41M and the two Tim's pull $500k between them. They just like bad pizza.
I can’t wait to try it!!
Me too. I love shitty games.
I'm really excited and can't wait to try the game out. I don't care about the graphics at all. I'm just glad that there is finally an RTS game that is new, incorporates new tech and mechanics and most importantly has an active dev support team
Rollback net code mentioned 😮
Looks great
Frost Giant, is that you?
Yep
Can’t wait to get my hands on this game!
Really looking forward to getting stuck into multiplayer.
Hmmmm......so......why is this supposed to be a better game than Starcraft 2?
I love Starcraft and I love you guys. I wish you the best and I can't wait to play Stormgate when it's ready
Everytime I see the Californian flag, I need to remind myself it's a real thing and not something from Fallout. It's pretty cool.
Just with 1 head instead of two.
I really hope they bring it to macOS
looks like a mobile game... why the heck they even go for this art-style.. such a shame.
Now that you mentioned it, it does look like a mobile game 😭.
I was excited for this game until I saw your comment and now it really look look like a mobile game. Ruined 😢 😭
19:03 I really like the chunky blobby enemies the infernals seem to have now!
This is the Infernal Host's co-op commander called Maloc. These units are specific to co-op while playing as Maloc and are not present in 1v1 just to clarify.
still look sound and feels boring
Why release a "the making of" documentary before the game is even finished?
Marketing
^ Yep. Same reason they did all those interviews with content creators tooting their own horns about how amazing the game will be because they worked for Blizzard. But all that hype is coming back to bite them now that people see what they think "the next 10 years of RTS" looks like.
...so people can see what they're working on and their thought process in the design? Which drums up interest. The game releases in a few weeks, what do you mean?
Because there are things happening between "started working" and "finished working".
Does this really need to be spelled out?
Are you aware of the concept of marketing?
Doesnt look and feel good
It feels good.
@@HighLanderPonyYT Cope.
Just what I felt while playing.
@@HighLanderPonyYT Tomorrow's the big day, pony. The best RTS of all time is officially releasing into Early Access. You nervous?
My life for Stormgate!
What I'm hearing is if you do not like Blizzard entertainment for one reason or another this is a good game to support
Is it sweet baby influenced?
I think a race millions years ahead in technology should be the best in pound for pound against other races ..
Unless it's the zerg or like in alien where they can brainwash you and make them ur own and take over like a plague
Don't do game balance.
Embarrassed that i was hype about SG when it was all secret this secret that. Ex blizz doing the next big thing.
Ugh. Wc3 tone meets sc2 pathing, meets aoe did a lot of this before. Art for millenials with the boy body and female-y elf face. Are those futas?
The splashy sounds, nothing HITS, see scbw ling vs sc2 ling sound. Scbw they chunk at stuff, sc2 sounds like they just splatter around.
Sound, art, style, all not what im into. Theyre not making the game for me, no game was or is made for me. But i was hoping id like some aspect of it.
This isnt for me.
It isn't for most people.
All of that gets polished later in the dev cycle. That's industry standard.
@@HighLanderPonyYT Still simping for FGS huh? There won't be a later because FGS will be shut down inside of a year. There's no way they can sell enough campaigns and microtransactions with an unfinished/unpolished game to make it out of EA.

Rollback, f2p structure. Plenty of non-gameplay innovation, too.
