Apparently from a issue of next months PC PowerPlay magazine. Though the models look dated, could an announcement be around the corner?

That picture is from RTW...

It is, but there's a giant 'II' in the middle - Rome (II) Total War. If not, if they are playing games, then that's false advertising - would a magazine really risk the possible trouble that would come with doing that?

The Enquirer and tabloids have no problem with false advertising.

So a back water PC magazine from Australia scoops PC Gamer and other mainstream PC magazines on Rome II. Probably speculation on their part to drum up sales of their next issue.

Yeah that's RTW.

How did you come across this ''scoop''?

**eXistenZ** · June 22, 2012, 02:03 PM

that would be really cheap from CA if they just renamed the game and then charge 50 euro for it :p

**complete noob:(** · June 22, 2012, 03:51 PM

That is RTW. And CA isn't announcing anything until early July.

The II in the middle is obviously photoshoped or whatever you wish to call it, someone is just playing with people as they know that there are high expetations for Rome II from people.

And CA wouldn't surely make a background like that. I would be milion times better.

anyone who played at least 10 seconds RTW would know that that image is RTW, and not a picture from a possible R2TW, lol ...

**Dave Strider** · June 23, 2012, 08:13 AM

As for the pic - on the bottom right, it says "July 18". Which obviously makes it an American magazine, because a British one would say "18 July".

So how would an American magazine get the first news about a British-made game?

Furthermore, even if they knew about it, why would they blow it out of the water two weeks before CA announces it at Rezzed?

And third, how do we even know this magazine is from this year? If it's from 2011, you certainly know it's incorrect.

Will everyone just CALM DOWN about this already?

My post from another thread.

PC PowerPlay is Australian.

The funny thing is they did the same thing with Shogun 2 announcement.

The prophecy is fulfilled, I was not wrong, the second coming has been delayed in order for this game to be released.
