Will CA actually release the gameplay footage to the real public?

**General Dan** · July 14, 2012, 10:32 AM

I was taken aback when during rezzed i spent day after day "googleing" rome 2 gameplay footage and finding nothing. I know its pre-alpha and many people wouldnt understand the quality, but its hard for a total war fan to know that CA has shown people only becasue they showed up for an event. Its hard for me anyway.

Just wait man. Your time will come. When CA preview something to the puclic it will be much much better.

Not yet - the game's too far from release. If you were CA, would you release footage that's around a year from alpha build? The forums would rip it to pieces - CA would simply be making a rod for their own backs.

I would release it, but in the bottom left corner id have a giant "PRE-ALPHA BUILD" and before the demo i would put that it is now where near complete.

Some people have already tried to criticise the game based upon pixelated images taken from the half dozen promo-shots we were given. They will release it when the time is right

I remember that one time someone made a GIF to show us that the people shown in the picture were too skinny and should have been bodybuilders.

Would love to see this aswell, but you know what the internet community(most of it) is like: "WHAAA! IT DOESN'T LOOK AS GOOD AS I THOUGHT" "Dude,it's pre-pre-alpha" "NO I DO NOT CARE IT'S DONE GG CA FAILED THE COMMUNITY WAAAHHHH THIS GAME IS DOOMED".

Yeah

Yeah

Exactly.

We need to wait...as it was already said...it's far away from release and CA just wanted let us know,that they working on the game

**emperor77** · July 14, 2012, 12:00 PM

I'm pretty happy that they aren't showing any footage just yet - it would only make the year+ seem longer.

**Raimeken** · July 14, 2012, 12:07 PM

Releasing footage of a game that won't even come out until December 31st 2013, aka 2014, tough luck mate. They aren't even in pre-alpha yet probably.

**SykoTiNe** · July 14, 2012, 12:33 PM

2014 is going too far we're likely to see a forced june-october release at worst, production probably began before fots was even announced.

**Jaketh** · July 14, 2012, 12:34 PM

You're going to have to wait about 6 months before any gameplay video's are released. We might see some stills before then however.

**OCWife** · July 14, 2012, 01:28 PM

It would be unwise of them to release the footage so early, because if they decide to leave out some stuff or downgrade the tech later, people would complain. If they don't show the footages, the public wouldn't know about the cuts/downgrade.

**XxFlamedxX** · July 14, 2012, 01:52 PM

I'd just like to see a few screenshots, nothing much. But I'd much prefer to see decent video footage instead of half done stuff. I will happily wait longer so the game isn't released/shown as a buggy mess.
