PC Gameplay Announces Total War: Rome 2

[famiglia_ducale]

PC Gameplay announces Total War: Rome II from it's home page as "special summer content" and declared a huge preview in the nearest future. Glad to share this announcement with you guys.

Sig was made by me, not an official TW:R2 sig.

[Cahoma]

No way!

[Phillyphries]

I'm going to miss explosions for sure

[MathiasOfAthens]

I am sure we will get explosions in Rome II. Exploding ships, buildings, fire arrows. Etc. Exploding pigs as well, dont forget.


Its like finding out what you get for christmas before christmas and your not really happy but not really sad either... Its awesome but I am still waiting to see if the regions are manageable.

Rome was one of their finest games... but mostly because of the modding capabilities. If they repeat Rome with the Warscape Engine we are likely to get screwed up regions, limited factions, and zero modding of the campaign map.

You're a bit late with the news, OP - it's been floating around here for a while now. Great news all the same - that must mean then when PC Gamer announced a 'Totally Huge game reveal', they were talking about the next Total War game and Rome II in particular.

[♔The Black Knight♔]

Whoa... Is it a new engine or is it still warscape.

If this isn't true my brain will blow up though...

[SonOfCrusader76]

Yes. It's best not to get too ahead of ourselves until we get official confirmation. Personally, I'm expecting Rome 2 to be plastered all over the forthcoming issue of PC Gamer and I will post scans if I can.

I'm going to start CA boycott.

Have fun, I'm sure they won't miss a few sales from a few whinging forumites.

Don't wanna join ? It'll be fun.

[Arbitrary Crusader]

I'm going to start CA boycott.

Don't wanna join ? It'll be fun.

Eh, it, I will.

Plus, it will be funnier when play the new game.

That what Boycott do right?

Realistically, do you think CA will be able to meet the astronomical expectations the community has of Rome II?

I think not.

This, this, this.

I'm tired of the group that said: OMG ROME 2 BEST GAME EVAR I MEAN EVERYBODY WANT IT AND IT GONNA BE GREAT LIKE ROME ! IT WAS PERFECT11leett1111
GET HYPE!

[SonOfCrusader76]

No, I'll be too busy anticipating Rome 2's release.

[Colonel Dax]

I eagerly await its release, and the torrent of disappointment that will follow.

Yes, much laughter will be had...

I'm sure some thought the same about Shogun 2 - seems the Shogun fans were very happy with their new game.

Yes, but Shogun didn't quite have the number of rabid fans that Rome boasts.

Probably not, but I don't really care. All I want is a new Rome Total War game - I'm sure CA will not disappoint; there's not been one TW game that I've been disappointed with. I don't expect it to be 'perfect', but I do expect it to be bloody good. The mere thought of smashing skulls with a battle axe with Shogun 2's level of violence is doing it for me.

[Orko]

Yes, but Shogun didn't quite have the number of rabid fans that Rome boasts.

I think not.

When has CA ever cared for the community? /s

What made Rome I so great was the modding... new units and campaigns and factions kept it going. The new units alone were better than the originals. I assume CA has become a lot better since then in terms of graphics and unit design but still... if we get generic units like barbarian horde or legionary... thats prob what we will get anyway. Face it the huge thing about this game will be naval warfare and increased diplomacy. Thats it. And prob more factions. But that wont matter if the regions suck.

I played the original Rome for months, without touching a single mod.

Same.

However, when I install a few mod during those time, I knew then the original was .

I WANT VICTORIA DAMN IT!
