I love the entirety of that jump, from seeing the ship prepping to the actual traversing the Warp. And to think that that is how rough a jump is when the Gellar Fields are actually working and your ship isn't being infested with chaos corruption immediately,
That shouldn't normally happen, especially to a ship that is used by the Inquisition. But, if game footage from other videos I have watched is correct, then this game takes place after Cadia has fallen. Which means the Great Rift has already split the galaxy in two, causing warp travel in general to be much more dangerous.
@@FREEK777ful I mean you could figure that out just by the fact that when you select Cadia as your homeworld it just shows a bunch of destroyed rocks floating in space And if you pick the cadia personality for vet he references it quite frequently
@@IAmDaDumb1 I haven't bought the game, nor have I watched any videos that had character creation in them. I've just been watching dialogue videos for the most part.
I did NOT expect Darktide of all 40K games to give me my new favorite 40K warp-travel scene. But damn, do I take it. Even showing the crew, Navigator, Astropath, what I assume to be the warp-core, the shutters... so many neat details. I fuckin' love it!
I remember seeing the intro to Mechanicus and thinking how awesome it would be to see all the messed up things that were happening while they were in warp-travel. I mean, you had messages pop up that said stuff like "The Navis Nobilite will not be pleased, we've lost five navigators this day" and "Weapon cache venting into the void. Sending servitors to clog the breach". I wanna see that.
I always thought that as long as the gellar field was operational, the ship would be completely free from daemonic influence. But if it failed in any way it was instant massive corruption to those exposed. In the trailer it seems just slightly mind-fucky the whole time, is that just that guys first jump or what? Or is warp storms caused by the Darktide making it extra volatile?
@@Morrimurr What you have to remember about all the tech the Imperium uses is that alot of the ships and tech they use is ANCIENT. Like ships being from before the Horus Heresy 10000 years ago, Warp-Cores and Plasma Drives having been through multiple Crusades, etc. Travel through the Warp in 40K is pretty much never 100% safe. This is why voidship crews are a very supersticious lot and very insular. There can be a variety of reasons why the Warp-Transition depicted in this cinematic looked like it did: Old wards on the Geller Field, the Warp being especially strong and violent there, not enough prayer going on in the onboard Church to the God-Emperor, Nurgle being Nurgle, etc. What this looked like to me was either their depiction of how fucking scary Warp-Transits are in general or something like the ship just being old-... I mean venerable. Remember anytime a psyker taps into the Warp to use his power chances are Warp Phenomena occur around him: Stuff freezing over and people seeing or hearing horrible shit is to be expected whenever the Immaterium is ever so slightly brushing against the Materium. Now, according to lore even the slightest flickers in the Geller Fields may give a denizen of the Warp, not just daemons... Enslavers, Warp Wasps and other nasty shit, a chance to get onboard and make the place a living hell for everybody involved. But considering nothing Actually got onboard in the cutscene I think it is safe to say it was mostly Warp-Phenomena. When a Daemon gets onboard shit usually hits the fan really quickly unless the Daemon or Entity in question shows enough restraint to make an infiltration out of it rather than a rampage and feeding frenzy. Which is entirely possible especially for the more smarter Greater Daemons or if the Deamon's patron God has something special planned. Mind you though: While technically a half-second flicker in the Geller Field would ALLOW something to get onboard that something must also first be aware of the ship, close enough to notice such a flicker AND manage to get through in time... and while time's meaning in the Warp is rather questionable to meaningless a flicker might not mean much at all in the end. A ship full of tasty souls is a FEAST for Warp Entities but not only does the Geller Field keep them OUT, it also masks the veritable beacon of light from the crew's souls from Warp Creatures. Thus the first few flickers might only do so much as to make the surrounding residents in the Warp NOTICE them in the first place. Subsequent flickers might give them a clue on when to get in and later ones will be the actual flickers that doom the crew. Given that almost no lore exactly explains how the whole thing works for Daemons and the like we can only really guess like the poor SOBs on the ship, after all we mostly only get to see what it is like for the crew after all.
@@Morrimurr there's frequently ghosts, apparitions, hallucinations even with the Gellar Fields up. I recall stories about warp translations that can last months and the entire time people are high strung from the occasional "just a trick of the light" or suspicious flicker of movement and a constant, inescapable sense of wrongness/dread. Not usually described as that bad but it's not like it's impossible... just unlikely. Don't forget, warp travel needs to be reliable enough that commercial systems underpinning the logistics of the Imperium can be founded on it. It can go VERY wrong but it can't do so often. We just happen to see the stories of when it gets spicy...
I love when the Navigator (at least that's what I think it is) has a little seizure when he uses his warp eye for the FTL jump. It is a really nice little touch!
@@josephbrumfield8741 Navigators are technically abhumans/mutants but their warp eye is a psyker ability, so I believe Navigators fall under sanctioned psykers for classification purposes (i.e. navigators are psykers). The reason I think he is a Navigator is because of his eye helmet (in service they usually protect their warp eye), the warp eye is literally a third eye on their forehead that slowly turns into a black orb the more they look into the warp and the stronger their powers grow, basically a play on "as you look into the abyss it stares back at you".
Now imagine orks, who go into warp travels without any Gellar fields, welcoming all those demons to their Kroozas and Space Hulks just to have something to kill during the travel.

Absolutely breathtaking. Truly one of the best cinematic 40K pieces to exist. To all those who contributed, thank you. You should all be immensely proud of yourselves.
The representation of going through a Warp portal, literal hell, is just so damn good, and yet so terrifying. It simply shows that in the 41st millennium, the most basic of things found in a science fiction novel is found to be so costly, especially to the imperium.
Yet it's the only way for humanity to travel, from supplies to vast legions the Daemon infested Warp is the only way to travel quickly over long distances. It often goes well as long as the Gellar fields hold. If not everybody will be consumed by hell it self. Though the Warp has some unique ways. Wouldn't be the first time ships or even entire fleets get lost and suddenly appear centuries or millennia later like nothing has happened.

For the most part. Im far from a 40k expert. Im a big fan, but haven't gotten through novels and such yet. But seeing as we'll be playing psyker(s) and ogryn, we're atleast a bit above average, but epic non the less!
@@Orome96 that Flak armour is very clearly Cadian pattern for a standard Guard infantryman, and he is also surrounded by other Guardsmen. Those crystals are ice, likely air humidity that got condensated and frozen, the Warp tends to do that. If you want an actual Psykers reaction to the Warp transition, look at 1:33
These trailers are spot on grimdark 40k. I love it! Especially the inquisitor. Regal, uncarring, cold with a hint of tiredness in the eyes. Most likely several hundred years old. And with millions of peoples lives on her conscience from throwing soldiers lives away as bait to declaring exterminatus on hive worlds.
"Regal, uncarring, cold with a hint of tiredness in the eyes." I'm sorry but you cannot see that. And they are not even real eyes, they are CGI. This is you seeing what you want to see. You want the inquisitor to be regal and cold because that is how you expect inquisitors to be.
@@Fragenzeichenplatte You dont say! Do you say the same thing when someone does a reaction to a portrait? Art is always in the eyes of the beholder. And yes, that is how i expect an inquisitor to be, and i found that they had made a damn good representation of how i expect an inquisitor to be, and i expressed as much! So in a sense, i can see that, cgi or no. I mean, can people see something in the eyes of Mona Lisa, then i can in the inquisitors!
Loved the warp-transition stuff. Just how brutal the transition into the Warp was, the horrible and VARIED nightmares and effects being felt ship-wide, and then how when the ship emerged, there were rocks from the earlier asteroid belt that had been pulled through too. That's neat. Also, that Inquisitor really needs to get better Geller Field projectors, if that kinda disruption is being felt. LOL. Methinks the Geller Field dropped a few times.
Given that the eye of terror is unshackled at that point already, I believe the Geller Fields are working overtime and there are no more "safe transistions". As is norm with 40k. Everything sucks for the average joe shmoe and warp travel has just become even worse. Thanks Abbadon.

Ummm...Dev studios dont make marketing content. It is usually side job. They just provide the script. Also those few minutes ads cost like a submarine. There is the reason why marketing campaign is usually far more expansive than game development itslef :) And noone would make a movie about the world where basically n-a-z-i-s rule the galaxy and fight aliens and demons. Thats not in a political agenda and since movies are the main propaganda thing, chances of 40k movie or TV show is pretty much zero. Noone would give money for that.
@@ardour1587 The imperium is only really doing rasisms towards aliens and people don't really care about that, 40k has a massive following that's basically only a few steps below mainstream.

I guess we know what happened to those guardsmen from the announcement trailer. Great way of bringing it all full circle, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping they'd make it out. Also, Chaos Spawn confirmed. Those squirmy buggers are making the jump from Vermintide it seems.
Thats 40K! Its not all roses and sunshine with heros who win. Its a deep horror twisted universe where the depts of hell follow you trying to kill you in the form of an alien subhuman species that devours and kills all man and alike. 40K F'ing rocks!
It was already kinda insane that they made it though that huge Horde in the first trailer, and the Chaos Spawn only throw them around so there's still hope, but if they died then a small cameo would be great.

This isn't just a great game trailer, this is a great intro to the entire universe trailer and I love that. Someone asks what's 40k and this is probably the most concise description one can give.
I have watched this trailer so many times now, and it still makes me grin eat to ear and gives me goosebumps. Every aspect of it from the writing, voice acting, sound design, music, and of course visuals, are just spectacular! Well done Fatshark, this trailer is definitely something worth being very proud of!
@@supak15 According to "Gaunt Ghosts" it usually only is about headaches and bad sleeping for those aboard. Maybe they jumped during a warpstorm, maybe other stuff happend connected to the main story of the game
This trailer is so badass. The music is really on point and synched well with the video. I've heard all the music tracks before (been listening to the Darktide soundtrack already) but they fit them well to the trailer. And the dialogue and voice over was immaculate. Top notch, really sets the tone for the setting well.
Virmintide 2 going free got me into this series and Warhammer. Crazy addicting and fun game also the players are really nice and pleasant to play with. Am super hyped !!
Loving every second of this trailer, it's just dripping in charisma, detail, character and ott grim-dark that WH40 is known for. The animation team deserve all praise.
I loved vermintide. But im definitely vibing far more with darktide. I cant really pinpoint it, but the vermintide setting never really grasped me. The world/maps didn't feel very memorable. Darktide is right up my alley how immersive it all is. Im so bloody excited
I play the closed beta of darktide AND LORD you see astartes (the fan "movie" ?) i felt than will shooting at hertics weaklings you felt what it was to be in warhammer 40k
The ship pouring out of/escaping the warp was beautiful. Keep the gellar field cranked! Nice interpretation that even with protection, abominable visions and sensation still occur.
Absolutely phenomenal. I am so happy to see 40k in the prime light. I hope this is just the beginning of a chain of quality 40k games. This universe deserves to be shown off to the world.
Honestly, making Vermintide II free was the best marketing for this game that you could ever do. I was on the fence for a bit (partly worries around player count, content and PC performance) but am now going to get this because Vermintide is so fun.
Honestly for me its been the opposite. After playing vermintide 2 ive been getting less hyped for darktide because it feels so... lesser in comparison (yeah yeah, new game vs old game with support), but theres also other things like characters being less "personal", different playable races with cultures vs four humans even if ones an ogryn different enviroments vs same sewer/city, rats and chaos vs humies and slightly different humies...
At least in Darktide we get to customize our convicts, which is great. Vermintide was a turnoff for me and my friends because we were locked to those specific characters. With Darktide, there is much hype.
tbh, they were still badass enough to kill their way through the horde that showed up at the end of the first trailer, and made it all the way here at least lol.
So we finally see the Inquisitor we'll be working for! I actually wasn't expecting a lady. Her speech was great, really can't wait to rip through the enemies of the God Emperor
That would be really fun! But idk why anyone would choose be a normal person over a space marine, psyker, or part of the Mechanicus. There are many "overpowered" people and you can't just jump from one class to the next. You can't start as a normal person and evolve into a space marine (correct me if I'm wrong) for late game content. I think they could make it work, but it would be quite the ordeal figuring out boundaries like that.
I remember playing the first Vermintide game many years ago and thinking... Imagine if they made a 40k version, I wonder how it would be? When it was announced I was excited Fatshark was giving it a go. Looking into it further, I found out my favourite author was working on the writing for Darktide, man was it hard to temper my expectations after that. If you love the writing I recommend checking out Dan Abnetts books, his Gaunts Ghosts series (Imperial Guard) and Inquisitor series (Eisenhorn & Ravenor) are amazing.
Exactly so, Colonel Commissar Ibram Gaunt and his Tanith first and only Ghosts ( Book 4 Hive city Necropolis Especially clinks well with Darktide. But also Commissar Ciaphas Cain Hero of the Imperium, GImme an Imperial Commissar with bolter pistol and chainsword any day or an Astra Militarum Vet of the Tanith, Macabbean Janissars, Kriegscorps, but also the backing of the V'th legion White Scars Jagatai Khan ;). Loken Garvy and Taric Torgadden and Nero Vipers and Saul Tarvist the loyalist battle brothers against Horus in his Heresy we stand with the Lunar Wolves also!
Name anything wrong with this trailer. Anything. The Inquisitor. The Warp translation. The Hive city. The AdMech blessings. I haven't seen 40k this distilled and pure since I watched Astartes the very first time. For the love of the Emperor, if you haven't bought this game, do it. Even if you never intend on playing it. This level of dedication and love for the craft NEEDS to be rewarded. We always complain that these companies only ever reward a good turnaround. Show them what we want. Darktide. Now.
Something a bit narratively confusing about this trailer is how they show this monster at 1:28 as they're entering hyperspace. That really confused me for a minute because it happens so fast and it was so hazy that I thought the whole of their ship was being eaten by some giant lovecraftian space-monster.
This might be one of the best video game trailers ever made. The music, cinematography, voice acting, and storytelling are all on point. 9/10. Had to subtract a point, because I wish it was longer. Someone pay these people to make a full length show god damnit.
Loving the details they are putting in this. Goes to show they respect the elements of the lore, which is amazing. The warp travel scene is awesome and I hope we get to see more of these amazing cinematics. Keep up the great work guys !!
Yes! This doom and gloom storytelling and worldbuilding is just perfect for Darktide. Vermintide got a little goofy after the first game, so here's hoping for a continued dark aesthetic. (Also, F for alpha team).
i liked the goofy aspect of vermintide 2. playing a super depressing game about the end of the world isn't really fun for me. mixing that desperation with a witch hunter, elf, dwarf, and wizard all having cynical arguments with eachother, i think lets it be playable. i like dark aspects yes but you also need comedic relief sometimes to keep the game from dragging its mood down too far. warhammer fantasy definitely has dark aspects about it but it also has beauty in the old elven creations, the dwarven mines, and especially the temples of sigmar are pieces of art. sure WH fantasy is still dark, orcs and chaos and beastkin and whatnot, but it isn't as grimdark as warhammer 40k is, so vermintide's mix of comedy and darkness works better, while something set in the 40k universe can stand to be darker
@@sovietunion7643 agreed... the humour and comraderie of Vermintide was what let me actually enjoy the setting. Otherwise it's too grim, lol. What are you fighting for without those things?

@@MannyGrey That was a particularly rough warp translation. In the more recent 40k timeline, warp travel is more dangerous than ever. In more ideal circumstances, traversing the warp isn't nearly as traumatic. It can be fairly safe. Especially with the quality of Navigator that would be assigned to a ship used by an inquisitor. The warp around Atoma Prime must be roiling.
The flickering of the Gellar field is such a nice touch, as is the "blinds" that come down prior to the jump. Obviously we hope the game is fun and all but it's great to see these details crafted with such love for the franchise
It seems like 40k has always outperformed Age of Sigmar in the outsider market (non-Warhammer fans). Given that the game is a Vermintide sudo-sequel, that there hasn't been a good Left 4 Dead-like title in a while, and that games like Destiny 2 are still somewhat popular; I would say that Darktide is set itself up for sucess. Everything is layed out perfectly for the game to be a hit. Now the hard part of releasing the title in a stable and fleshed out state is what's left. I have faith in this studio to make it a great game, I am just worried about them succumbing to the "release half baked, fix later" trend in gaming.
It's a good game, but I'm a little bit anxious. As someone with too many hours in Vermintide 2, I really can't say if Dark will outperform its predecessor. Not because it isn't a good game, like I said, but because it's a hard game. It feels harder than Vermintide 2, more punishing, and not all of it seems intentional. I really hope the game does well, but I also fear it might be one of those games that kicks a newbie's teeth in on their first impression and they'll never want to pick it up again. I also hope that the community remains friendly, because that's vital to its long-term success.
"It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries The Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die. Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the Warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever vigilant Inquisition and the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants - and worse. To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim darkness of the far future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods."

Which means the Great Rift has already split the galaxy in two, causing warp travel in general to be much more dangerous.
Yeah, the ogryn character mentions the indomitus crusade, so this is definitely post Cadia.
@@FREEK777ful I mean you could figure that out just by the fact that when you select Cadia as your homeworld it just shows a bunch of destroyed rocks floating in space

I did NOT expect Darktide of all 40K games to give me my new favorite 40K warp-travel scene.
But damn, do I take it.
Even showing the crew, Navigator, Astropath, what I assume to be the warp-core, the shutters... so many neat details.
I fuckin' love it!
This!! Super impressed by the warp travel! I actually said "holy shit" when they translated back to realspace.
I remember seeing the intro to Mechanicus and thinking how awesome it would be to see all the messed up things that were happening while they were in warp-travel. I mean, you had messages pop up that said stuff like "The Navis Nobilite will not be pleased, we've lost five navigators this day" and "Weapon cache venting into the void. Sending servitors to clog the breach". I wanna see that.
I always thought that as long as the gellar field was operational, the ship would be completely free from daemonic influence. But if it failed in any way it was instant massive corruption to those exposed.
In the trailer it seems just slightly mind-fucky the whole time, is that just that guys first jump or what? Or is warp storms caused by the Darktide making it extra volatile?
@@Morrimurr What you have to remember about all the tech the Imperium uses is that alot of the ships and tech they use is ANCIENT. Like ships being from before the Horus Heresy 10000 years ago, Warp-Cores and Plasma Drives having been through multiple Crusades, etc.
Travel through the Warp in 40K is pretty much never 100% safe.
This is why voidship crews are a very supersticious lot and very insular.
There can be a variety of reasons why the Warp-Transition depicted in this cinematic looked like it did:
Old wards on the Geller Field, the Warp being especially strong and violent there, not enough prayer going on in the onboard Church to the God-Emperor, Nurgle being Nurgle, etc.
What this looked like to me was either their depiction of how fucking scary Warp-Transits are in general or something like the ship just being old-... I mean venerable.
Remember anytime a psyker taps into the Warp to use his power chances are Warp Phenomena occur around him:
Stuff freezing over and people seeing or hearing horrible shit is to be expected whenever the Immaterium is ever so slightly brushing against the Materium.
Now, according to lore even the slightest flickers in the Geller Fields may give a denizen of the Warp, not just daemons... Enslavers, Warp Wasps and other nasty shit, a chance to get onboard and make the place a living hell for everybody involved.
But considering nothing Actually got onboard in the cutscene I think it is safe to say it was mostly Warp-Phenomena.
When a Daemon gets onboard shit usually hits the fan really quickly unless the Daemon or Entity in question shows enough restraint to make an infiltration out of it rather than a rampage and feeding frenzy.
Which is entirely possible especially for the more smarter Greater Daemons or if the Deamon's patron God has something special planned.
Mind you though:
While technically a half-second flicker in the Geller Field would ALLOW something to get onboard that something must also first be aware of the ship, close enough to notice such a flicker AND manage to get through in time... and while time's meaning in the Warp is rather questionable to meaningless a flicker might not mean much at all in the end.
A ship full of tasty souls is a FEAST for Warp Entities but not only does the Geller Field keep them OUT, it also masks the veritable beacon of light from the crew's souls from Warp Creatures.
Thus the first few flickers might only do so much as to make the surrounding residents in the Warp NOTICE them in the first place.
Subsequent flickers might give them a clue on when to get in and later ones will be the actual flickers that doom the crew.
Given that almost no lore exactly explains how the whole thing works for Daemons and the like we can only really guess like the poor SOBs on the ship, after all we mostly only get to see what it is like for the crew after all.
@@Morrimurr there's frequently ghosts, apparitions, hallucinations even with the Gellar Fields up. I recall stories about warp translations that can last months and the entire time people are high strung from the occasional "just a trick of the light" or suspicious flicker of movement and a constant, inescapable sense of wrongness/dread. Not usually described as that bad but it's not like it's impossible... just unlikely.
Don't forget, warp travel needs to be reliable enough that commercial systems underpinning the logistics of the Imperium can be founded on it. It can go VERY wrong but it can't do so often. We just happen to see the stories of when it gets spicy...
I love when the Navigator (at least that's what I think it is) has a little seizure when he uses his warp eye for the FTL jump. It is a really nice little touch!
I think it’s a psyker but yeah it’s great
@@josephbrumfield8741 Navigators are technically abhumans/mutants but their warp eye is a psyker ability, so I believe Navigators fall under sanctioned psykers for classification purposes (i.e. navigators are psykers). The reason I think he is a Navigator is because of his eye helmet (in service they usually protect their warp eye), the warp eye is literally a third eye on their forehead that slowly turns into a black orb the more they look into the warp and the stronger their powers grow, basically a play on "as you look into the abyss it stares back at you".
@@howitzer551 oh sorry I thought you were talking about the psyker who’s freaking out with the blue copies and holding his head. My bad

@@bwhity That or they haven't seen Astartes.
I love how they show warp travel in 1:25. The guardsmen fleetingly seeing the horrors of the warp stalking them despite the Gellar field. It's so cool
The representation of going through a Warp portal, literal hell, is just so damn good, and yet so terrifying. It simply shows that in the 41st millennium, the most basic of things found in a science fiction novel is found to be so costly, especially to the imperium.
Yet it's the only way for humanity to travel, from supplies to vast legions the Daemon infested Warp is the only way to travel quickly over long distances. It often goes well as long as the Gellar fields hold. If not everybody will be consumed by hell it self. Though the Warp has some unique ways. Wouldn't be the first time ships or even entire fleets get lost and suddenly appear centuries or millennia later like nothing has happened.

This, THIS is why I love Darktide so much. The idea of just 4 regular people, (well more normal than space marines) Having to fight through the horrors of chaos against all odds, mere mortals pitted against hordes of enemies, mutants, and demons
For the most part. Im far from a 40k expert. Im a big fan, but haven't gotten through novels and such yet. But seeing as we'll be playing psyker(s) and ogryn, we're atleast a bit above average, but epic non the less!

@@Orome96 that Flak armour is very clearly Cadian pattern for a standard Guard infantryman, and he is also surrounded by other Guardsmen. Those crystals are ice, likely air humidity that got condensated and frozen, the Warp tends to do that.
If you want an actual Psykers reaction to the Warp transition, look at 1:33
woow i just realized that
These trailers are spot on grimdark 40k. I love it! Especially the inquisitor. Regal, uncarring, cold with a hint of tiredness in the eyes. Most likely several hundred years old. And with millions of peoples lives on her conscience from throwing soldiers lives away as bait to declaring exterminatus on hive worlds.
"Regal, uncarring, cold with a hint of tiredness in the eyes."
I'm sorry but you cannot see that. And they are not even real eyes, they are CGI. This is you seeing what you want to see. You want the inquisitor to be regal and cold because that is how you expect inquisitors to be.
@@Fragenzeichenplatte You dont say! Do you say the same thing when someone does a reaction to a portrait?
Art is always in the eyes of the beholder. And yes, that is how i expect an inquisitor to be, and i found that they had made a damn good representation of how i expect an inquisitor to be, and i expressed as much!
So in a sense, i can see that, cgi or no. I mean, can people see something in the eyes of Mona Lisa, then i can in the inquisitors!
@@Nuuboat "Do you say the same thing when someone does a reaction to a portrait?"
Yes.
Ah, agreed! I thought they gave her a very regal and distant, but also unyielding manner. Loved the very baroque visual design too.
Hands down one the best WH40k cinematic ever. Every detail drips with character - you do not just see, you *feel* the Imperium of Man.
Loved the warp-transition stuff. Just how brutal the transition into the Warp was, the horrible and VARIED nightmares and effects being felt ship-wide, and then how when the ship emerged, there were rocks from the earlier asteroid belt that had been pulled through too. That's neat. Also, that Inquisitor really needs to get better Geller Field projectors, if that kinda disruption is being felt. LOL. Methinks the Geller Field dropped a few times.
Given that the eye of terror is unshackled at that point already, I believe the Geller Fields are working overtime and there are no more "safe transistions". As is norm with 40k. Everything sucks for the average joe shmoe and warp travel has just become even worse. Thanks Abbadon.
The problem isn't the Gellar field. The problem now is the warp juice is leaking in so bad most ships need a team of Navigators to safely traverse. That ship had 1...

Ummm...Dev studios dont make marketing content. It is usually side job. They just provide the script. Also those few minutes ads cost like a submarine. There is the reason why marketing campaign is usually far more expansive than game development itslef :) And noone would make a movie about the world where basically n-a-z-i-s rule the galaxy and fight aliens and demons. Thats not in a political agenda and since movies are the main propaganda thing, chances of 40k movie or TV show is pretty much zero. Noone would give money for that.
@@ardour1587 The imperium is only really doing rasisms towards aliens and people don't really care about that, 40k has a massive following that's basically only a few steps below mainstream.

They are like thise orcs from east in LotR :) Also the imperium of men by its goverment structure is pure fascist state: from its economics and social life down to insignias, military uniforms, "ubersoldatens", "wunderwaffens" and etc. It has written "n-a-z-i germany" all over it. Also you would need to include lgbtq agenda and it would look even more weird. I mean, whats the point? Movies straight suk for like 5 years or so. That industry is literraly done. Forget it.
Wow the last part gave me goosebumps. I love it when our task, our role, our purpose is crystal clear and there is an immense responsibility on our shoulders. It makes our existence and actions meaningful.

@@aitnobetafaq The possibility of heroes to die is not exclusive to 40K, as well as the grimdark, WHFB did it before the 40K ;)

Top notch, really sets the tone for the setting well.

I play the closed beta of darktide AND LORD you see astartes (the fan "movie" ?) i felt than will shooting at hertics weaklings you felt what it was to be in warhammer 40k
after playing the beta, my impression was they took Vermintide and improved everything in it. If that helps :)
The ship pouring out of/escaping the warp was beautiful. Keep the gellar field cranked! Nice interpretation that even with protection, abominable visions and sensation still occur.
Absolutely phenomenal. I am so happy to see 40k in the prime light. I hope this is just the beginning of a chain of quality 40k games. This universe deserves to be shown off to the world.
Honestly, making Vermintide II free was the best marketing for this game that you could ever do. I was on the fence for a bit (partly worries around player count, content and PC performance) but am now going to get this because Vermintide is so fun.
Also if you own Vermintide 1 or 2 you can play the Ogrin in Darktide as a 8 foot tall dwarf
@@janp5063 A good deal, just like Okri used to make!

Honestly for me its been the opposite. After playing vermintide 2 ive been getting less hyped for darktide because it feels so... lesser in comparison (yeah yeah, new game vs old game with support), but theres also other things like characters being less "personal", different playable races with cultures vs four humans even if ones an ogryn different enviroments vs same sewer/city, rats and chaos vs humies and slightly different humies...
At least in Darktide we get to customize our convicts, which is great. Vermintide was a turnoff for me and my friends because we were locked to those specific characters. With Darktide, there is much hype.

That would be really fun! But idk why anyone would choose be a normal person over a space marine, psyker, or part of the Mechanicus. There are many "overpowered" people and you can't just jump from one class to the next. You can't start as a normal person and evolve into a space marine (correct me if I'm wrong) for late game content. I think they could make it work, but it would be quite the ordeal figuring out boundaries like that.
I remember playing the first Vermintide game many years ago and thinking... Imagine if they made a 40k version, I wonder how it would be? When it was announced I was excited Fatshark was giving it a go. Looking into it further, I found out my favourite author was working on the writing for Darktide, man was it hard to temper my expectations after that. If you love the writing I recommend checking out Dan Abnetts books, his Gaunts Ghosts series (Imperial Guard) and Inquisitor series (Eisenhorn & Ravenor) are amazing.
Exactly so, Colonel Commissar Ibram Gaunt and his Tanith first and only Ghosts ( Book 4 Hive city Necropolis Especially clinks well with Darktide. But also Commissar Ciaphas Cain Hero of the Imperium, GImme an Imperial Commissar with bolter pistol and chainsword any day or an Astra Militarum Vet of the Tanith, Macabbean Janissars, Kriegscorps, but also the backing of the V'th legion White Scars Jagatai Khan ;).

Absolutely agree

This
Something a bit narratively confusing about this trailer is how they show this monster at 1:28 as they're entering hyperspace. That really confused me for a minute because it happens so fast and it was so hazy that I thought the whole of their ship was being eaten by some giant lovecraftian space-monster.
The repeating voice-over gets annoying after a while.
That is a very good intro to the 41st millenium! Love it
This might be one of the best video game trailers ever made. The music, cinematography, voice acting, and storytelling are all on point. 9/10. Had to subtract a point, because I wish it was longer. Someone pay these people to make a full length show god damnit.

Yes! This doom and gloom storytelling and worldbuilding is just perfect for Darktide. Vermintide got a little goofy after the first game, so here's hoping for a continued dark aesthetic. (Also, F for alpha team).
i liked the goofy aspect of vermintide 2. playing a super depressing game about the end of the world isn't really fun for me. mixing that desperation with a witch hunter, elf, dwarf, and wizard all having cynical arguments with eachother, i think lets it be playable. i like dark aspects yes but you also need comedic relief sometimes to keep the game from dragging its mood down too far. warhammer fantasy definitely has dark aspects about it but it also has beauty in the old elven creations, the dwarven mines, and especially the temples of sigmar are pieces of art. sure WH fantasy is still dark, orcs and chaos and beastkin and whatnot, but it isn't as grimdark as warhammer 40k is, so vermintide's mix of comedy and darkness works better, while something set in the 40k universe can stand to be darker

@@sovietunion7643 agreed... the humour and comraderie of Vermintide was what let me actually enjoy the setting. Otherwise it's too grim, lol. What are you fighting for without those things?
Warhammer Fantasy was never grimdark like 40K tho, so the different tone makes sense
1:10 Sucks to be that Psyker. Imagine the things he is seeing if what the others see is bad enough. Terrifying trailer.
this is by far the best looking warhammer 40k game ! Finally a proper grim dark 40k
One of the best Warhammer 40k trailers by far. Just thank you.
I do not know who I am.
I do not know where I am.
All I know...
Is that I must purge.
this looks absolutely amazing
So hyped for this
Finally a great FPS 40k Game... and the horrors of being a lowly guardsman
The quality of the trailer is fantastic, good work! I hope the gameplay is just as good.
This trailer has Syama Pedersen written all over it. Just awesome.
FAITH IS MY WEAPON, DEVOTION IS MY SHIELD! DEATH TO THE TRAITORS!
MY FACE IS MY SHIELD
*Glory to Tzeentch
By the Emperor, this is really good stuff! I really hope Warhammer in general continues with this vibe and works towards bringing in more people.
I love when the Navigator (at least that's what I think it is) has a little seizure when he uses his warp eye for the FTL jump. It is a really nice little touch!

Yeah, that looked painful. Dude's got to experience that every time?
@@MannyGrey At least it's just for Warp jumps. Astropaths are called upon whenever someone needs to make an interstellar phone call.

"My bad, I dialed the wrong number, bro..."
"Fr?"
@@MannyGrey That was a particularly rough warp translation. In the more recent 40k timeline, warp travel is more dangerous than ever. In more ideal circumstances, traversing the warp isn't nearly as traumatic. It can be fairly safe. Especially with the quality of Navigator that would be assigned to a ship used by an inquisitor. The warp around Atoma Prime must be roiling.
The flickering of the Gellar field is such a nice touch, as is the "blinds" that come down prior to the jump. Obviously we hope the game is fun and all but it's great to see these details crafted with such love for the franchise
God damn i love the aesthetic of Warhammer outfits, future yet regal. Cant wait to play again.
I'm extremely sure that this game will blow up big time people realizing how good of a company fatshark is and what they have to offer with this gem
It seems like 40k has always outperformed Age of Sigmar in the outsider market (non-Warhammer fans).
Given that the game is a Vermintide sudo-sequel, that there hasn't been a good Left 4 Dead-like title in a while, and that games like Destiny 2 are still somewhat popular; I would say that Darktide is set itself up for sucess.
Everything is layed out perfectly for the game to be a hit. Now the hard part of releasing the title in a stable and fleshed out state is what's left.
I have faith in this studio to make it a great game, I am just worried about them succumbing to the "release half baked, fix later" trend in gaming.
It's a good game, but I'm a little bit anxious. As someone with too many hours in Vermintide 2, I really can't say if Dark will outperform its predecessor. Not because it isn't a good game, like I said, but because it's a hard game. It feels harder than Vermintide 2, more punishing, and not all of it seems intentional. I really hope the game does well, but I also fear it might be one of those games that kicks a newbie's teeth in on their first impression and they'll never want to pick it up again. I also hope that the community remains friendly, because that's vital to its long-term success.
That's gotta be the best ever interpretation of what Warp travel looks and feels like ever made !
Might want to upgrade the Gellar fields 😂
The psyker escaped and became a playable character
This is an utterly brilliant trailer. So excited about the launch of Darktide!

Hey, it's those guys from the first Teaser trailer! I hope nothing bad will happen to them- Oh... oh no.
this is exactly how my first mission with 4 veterans ended lol
"It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries The Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die.
Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the Warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever vigilant Inquisition and the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants - and worse.
To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim darkness of the far future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods."
The trailer music....the animation....what a masterpiece!!!!
