Race looks cool, I really can't wrap my head around the town hall being a mobile pylon. I feel like every game vs celestials will be them just building outside your natural, and the mirror match is just going to be....weird.
The mirror match is weird if the travel distances are short. Albino wasn't prepared for the proxy and went a fast expand build. If Albino had anticipated the proxy cheese then (just like in SC2) it can be stopped and it's brutal for the Celestials player to try to recover. One thing Albino could have done was get out a few hedgehogs and go take out those mining nodes defenseless in the back. While Celestials are all about base mobility, their units are extremely slow except for the rolly bois and their air units so defending those nodes would have been very hard and caused the containment to slip or for that to just be free damage for Albino.
Yeah that’s surely something the team will have to work hard at balancing. They do give up a lot of defense for their added mobiliy though, it just wasn’t showcased very well in this game.
@@sheepfly No you are. And you clearly haven't played the game. Point out a single similarity, you probably can't Infernals have the shields, and Celestials have a power mechanic instead. The floating buildings thing is more reminiscent to terrans than protoss.
I like the celestial faction idea. As vanguard though I could not harass them because they easily stop a scout or rush. If they rushed me I was easily overpowered. Feel as though balance needs a lot of work. I know they will make a lot of improvements to balance factions out.
Counter-attacking them with a couple split-off units can be really strong because they spread their bases out so much, but the only Vanguard unit that can do that is hedgehogs. The problem is, Argents and Kri are so different and both come out early. Kri slaughter Exos, but you need Exos vs the Argents. Lancers get destroyed by the Argents, but you kinda need some vs the Kri. So Bio doesn't work very well. I went hogs and vulcans a lot, but even that was kind of difficult. I tried Medtechs to nanoswarm the Kri or the Vectors if they went for that instead, but it just was not really enough. Everything comes online a little too late. Vanguard just doesn't have a lot of Anti-Celestial tools. Hogs are kind of the best and the only real counter.
I still think this game is lacking distinct visual style (especially with the terrain). That being said the visual look of celestials’ artillery attack is beautiful!
Not sure what albino was doing, the common VvC matchup is getting into hedgehogs to get out on the map and stop these aggressive builds. Then transition into vulkan/medtek, (cause the nanoswarm can target enemies and it does bonus dmg to mech units which is most celestial units) vanguard was actually very dominate this beta.
I feel celestials looks really cool but its for some people seems celestials are a bit overpowered with they scouting ability because they can just fly everywhere with they buidling
In the beta test, it actually turned out that they were somewhat balanced. They werent the best race by any means (vanguard got a broken ability) and there wasnt anything rediculously broke
@@pknepps beta test, really? 🤡🤡🤡It is a less than 3 month before early acsess. Nothing will change. It was all the same words again and again about warcraft 3 Reforged, company of heroes 3 etc, always the same shit :"it's a beta/alpha bla bla bla". THIS is how the game will look at early acsess, only details will change.
@user-xp1db9fx6t i wasnt saying it will change, i was just sharing my feelings from the beta. Amd they are polished enough for early access in my experience
My only criticism so far - and I know it's in alpha - is that the units look too plastic and the terrain too cheerful for a game set in the grim dark future where angels and demons wage brutal war across the stars and humans try to avoid getting caught in the crossfire and protect themselves with badass mechs and space marines.
They focused a lot on how the game feels to play, which is really really good, but graphics are not a priority for now, it'll be improved with time ofc.
I must agree, even though as mentioned by @davidbodor1762, their main focus was the gameplay, which feels smooth and easy to learn, especially if you are a veteran from rts. Graphics might be improved overtime by the company, or even by the community, with mods and so on. But still, the game indeed feels in-development, and will be sold as that to the general public, which might consider it plain and uninteresting in comparison to other titles.
@@davidbodor1762 The fact that they ditched campaign in front of esports and skins is a shame. It’s weird that sc2 and wc3 developers don’t understand what we loved about their games.
@@Sam_Hyde_Apologist Clearly didn't play it mate. They have Warcraft and even Command and Conquer units and mechanics and the "terran units" are nothing like the terrans, if anything they play more like protoss.
over all good cast but I as a playtester who played ALOT of celestial it's sad that you put out so much miss information or not accurate information about the unit's and buildings
I think one big reason is that the game is no longer supported outside of the odd balance update, and players generally want to sink time into a game with regular updates.
@@Stormgate_Central I will definitely try Stormgate for this. I have to say, the appearance has a mobile game feeling that's quite disappointing for me, but you brought up some very fun ideas like 3vsAI coop.
So the most frustating thing in SC2 was playing against protoss proxies suportted with many shield batteries. And here they say, "well, lets build a race that is all about proxi buildings and offensive static defence"😢. What can go wrong with this approach? I think that they have achieved designing the worst faction in any RTS ever. I am really disapointed with Frost giant. The ideas coming from zerospace and aces of batlle are much better.
for hell!! i want to talk about it, but I can not!! :D Let say that, we are going to get one of the best RTS of many years. Celestial, inferno and humans are really well balance even in beta testing. Stil long way to go, but it really smash.... 40 days count down :D:D (I am supporting it from the start.. )
The plastic-toys looking, the weird fairy-tale energy bolts/bullets, and everything else related to this art style really disgust me. An RTS game for princesses? Really disappointing!
I don't like the celestial at all. They were the reason I did not continue playing the beta. Floating straight to the enemy base and build defensive structures as the primary build is imo utter garbage for any rts.
It's amazing how people realy want to prove everyone around that the game is bad. Or that the game is good. Or that sc2 (or any other rts) is better. Almost like they need an approval of their feelings from everyone else rather than just enjoy what they like.
Maybe good people wants to show their support to devs So they need to say that the game is good and nice but needs more work to be perfect And maybe sc2 is a game that is still alive after nearly 2 decade
This game look like soulless starcraft with GFX from 2005..I expected a lot from this game and turn out to be a joke.. As for gameplay for next gen RTS its insane that they are pushing basically most annoying part of SC2 free units and canon rushes (race that is base on building movement) bad design. This game is DOR.
@@vladislavsimovic899 Also i cant tell what are building and what are units for 3rd race is just to hard to differentiate..As for gameplay for next gen RTS its insane that they are pushing basically most annoying part of SC2 free units and canon rushes (race that is base on building movement) bad design. This game is DOR.
Agreed. Don’t forget that campaign is an afterthought for stormgate…Zerospace will crush this game because they put campaign in front of esports and skins…
Please dont compare it to sc2 art style or graphics This game have it own and unique design Sc2 is more realistic and with more than 100 million dollars put into it Sc2 graphics was way way a head of its time that even now most gaming systems cant run on ultra graphics in 2 v 2 match Yes it feels like a cartoon to play stormgate but man the budget of Storm gate its a tiny miny fraction of sc2 The fact that a new company is making a real rts in 2024 while we have call of Fortnite 😂 is still enough
If youre listening devs, please make a mechanism for players to control the creeps in creep camps. Nobody wants to watch AI units in a competitive 1v1 game. Its outdated and spectator unfriendly.

wow the first video showing a celestials match! For its first showing this match was already such a high level sheeeesh
They had about a month of beta to practice lol
Thanks for always having quick coverage of storm gate updates or pro matches.

what a big boy that is playing the celestials!
celestial TWIST!
First look: Oh this is Protoss from StarCraft2!
After watching the match: This is Protoss in SC2+Empire in RA3
Edit: and Goo from grey goo
Do not forget Masari from Universe at War for the Light/Dark mechanic
@@floriniancu8374 yeah it's clearly inspired by many many things
Stop trying to find patterns that don't really exist. There isn't much that is similar between these and protoss. For instance, where are the shields?
@@Leonhart_93are you blind?
@@sheepfly No you are. And you clearly haven't played the game. Point out a single similarity, you probably can't

Love the celestials so far.
Super fun concepts and the game was awesome

finally! been waiting to see how PartinG plays
the starting unit is the morph core though and not the archship -> which is the Shrine building from celestial
음향효과와 타격감이 매우 싱겁습니다.
A lot of sound updates will come in later
can we have more skill shot(artilliary units) and warding mechanics in the game please
This is so freaking exciting!! Can't wait to see more pro matches!!
Hopefully spectator adds in clock timer
I kind of feel like the style of Stormgate feels like playing with action figures, and I'm not quite feeling it.
Then don't play
@@lordhelix1458 I don't plan to, but I had hopes for a while.
There's something about having units with emotions, that bleed and scream when they die that's much more engaging
yeah, I hope they improve the models and sounds. At the moment it feels really bland.
@@zzMrP just wait from modders
The celestials look like they'll be fun to play looking forward to trying them out.
Last patch?

So you're telling me that these super advanced Celestials have a unit that rolls around in the dirt?
well... they couldn't have them just "charge in," could they!
These "angels" also have a banshee that drains life
@@BBJones93 really? Then please explain why not.
@@cirusMEDIA They'd just be protoss zealots then....
@@BBJones93 you still did not give me a reason why a Super-Advanced race with mythical magic needs to roll in the dirt like a baneling.
This match does look a tiny bit one sided does it not ?
Wohoo!
Good commentary dude! Respect!❤
Why the creep are still animals?
I'd imagine that's not big of a priority. To change u just swap models I think they are focused on gameplay and faction design
This game looks to be in really rough shape for a release date so close.
Just HOW good is PartingG?
As an AOE WC3 and SC2 fan, this one looks kinda plain…. Like graphically and pace wise..

Saccing accuracy for rushing out content for clout.
@@HighLanderPonyYT mh as far as I know, we were allowed to pre produce content while closed beta and afterwards so dunno
Omg. It looks so good
The maps look so great! Can't wait for the Map Editor.
wasnt this game originally going to be free to play ?
It is free to play multiplayer.
The current Steam Price looks to be just for Early Access.
It will be free to play once released. If you want to pay for early access you can though! I'll be waiting for the ftp version myself.
It will be free on August 13
Celestials remind me of the goo from grey goo
As much as I want to love this game, something must be done about these graphics. It's way too shiny and cartoonish, as everyone else is saying.
two like one like per month
NDA?
*LOADS LAZOR GUN WITH RELIGIOUS INTENT*
Why does this game look so terrible?
As a long time Star craft fan. I gotta say this looks inferior in every way to a 14 year old game.
By a lot. Wings of Liberty had an awesome campaign on arrival with more charisma and character. I try to love this game but I just can’t
Plays really bad too. Doa game.
The graphics suck. Why the childish cartoon visuals?
My question is. Why not just play StarCraft2? It feels far more polished

Thanks for the games. Too bad they were boring and one sided. Never the less this is not your fault
the map texture is so so ugly

They could at least make a new game instead of copying everything from starcraft
