Shogun 2: Total War

Thought I would make a thread for this, as surely I can't be the only person not looking forward to this game. I loved the original way back when, and now with a similar graphics and gameplay engine to the likes of Empire and Napoleon, it promises to be an epic game.

Here is a trailer released recently featuring in game footage:

AwesomesauceTrailer

They boast that the trailer is in game graphics. That is good. Amazingly good. So good I'm actually finding it hard to believe that is in fact what the game will look like.

Regardless, I can not wait for this game to come out.

Anyone else as excited as I am?

I'm excited. I need a new computer to run it. They look like in game graphics, the Napoleon ones were like that at least.

Looks cool. I'm terrible at Total War Games though. I'll probably try the demo and ,once again, and find out I suck at it. But it looks good.

Interesting, Ive played Total war Rome and Medieval 2 but never the original. This could be interesting, looks great too.

Looks good, I used to love strategy games like Romance of the three kingdoms, and an old one called Shingen the ruler.

For some reason after playing the newer ones these day I get bored quickly.

Hey wouldn't it be cool if Bioware made on of their big budget RPG's set in Feudal Japan? Not really like the mythilogical style of Jade Empire though.

Hmmm maybe it wouldn't work the more I think about it.

I'm a big fan of the total war series but I'm of the opinion that the series has been going downhill since after Rome. Hopefully Shogun 2 will be different.

Hmm, I had prefered Rome Total War II though. Never played shogun.
And I agree with Darc, Rome was one of the best Total War games ever made in my opinion. Medieval II was ok, but I didn't like the ages with all the guns and all.

Strategy games like the Total War series are way more fun to see with melee combat Smile

Well don't know if anyone has seen it yet but there is a new video:

Battle Report #1

This looks great, the weather effects are amazing and I love seeing a close up of a Samurai finishing move. Going to be great fun.

Aye, definitely looks like a great game. Loving not only the superb graphics, but all the advanced and "human" AI and tactics. Makes it feel far more realistic than a regular RTS and like a true battle fought in the times of the Samurai.
