    Default will there be any faction intro videos?

    until now we have always had videos for agents, events and so on however CA has told us because of the massive cultural differences and vast number of units videos for these things are simply not possible.

    now I ask what about victory videos? introduction videos like these below.

    I admit I dont want agent videos but special events like the victory, realm divide and etc... that only happen once or twice in the entire campaign are things I always look at.

    so does anyone know if we still have these?

    I did enjoy those, and I hope they make a return, but I don't think anything has been mentioned about them unfortunately.

    Optimists can predict a happier answer than those so far.

    We had faction intro videos for Shogun 2, so I would hope that they are back.

    I think instead of the video should be immersion in 3D where General will urge soldiers. All events must take place in 3D It is necessary for realism for a dive into the world.

    We're talking about faction intro videos - the videos that play BEFORE gameplay even starts - so I don't know what you're trying to say, here.

    I'm not aware of any news on these, but I think they'll be included. Because of the greater cultural diversity than the playable factions in Shogun 2, I think we won't see videos that are 80% copy-pasted from another faction, either.

    Shogun II had it. I don't see why not.

    Most important thread topic ever. Fortunately, we have a RomeII complaint thread for the ridiculous whiners.

    Best faction intro in Rome!

    Excellent immersion and drama. Don't mind the pinks

    I always loved the Greek intro. The music is just so good.

    Somehow i find the Greek narrator a bit nervous and depressed. Just like someone who misses the old glorius days and frightening for tomorrow. And the Parthians is daring and challenging. Perhaps smells a bit overconfidence but i like the challenge.

    I have the impression that they have said that these introduction videos for the factions will not be in.But I'm not sure if I remember right,so I wouldn't bet on it.Let's hope that's not the case,but if it is though,I am certainly going to miss them a lot!I love these intros in RTW!

    I do hope they create indivual ones for each faction.

    Rome 1 didn't have intros for Macedon or Selecuids.

    I loved the Gauls, Parthians, and the Romans Intro.

    Carthage wasn't that great, no intro for Scythia, Britians or Germans.

    So hoping that they will be in !

    A little inaccurate
    They all had intros, it's just some shared them. The Hellenic factions (Greek states and Seleucids) shared the same intro and ending video. The barbarians (Gaul, Germania and Britannia) shared one intro and outro, and the Carthaginian and Pontic endings were the same. If you look in the Greek video and particularly the barbarian one, you will see the troops are a generic tan colour, like rebels, so they don't represent any specific faction, but all of that culture instead
    Macedon wasn't playable, and neither was Scythia

    Yeah that's what I mean, you summed up my post in that. Except oh yeah Macedon and Scythia weren't playable. It was just the same intros for some factions.

    IIRC, someone asked about cutscenes in-game and one of the CA guys said "just wait until you see the faction intro videos" or something. I believe it was at Rezzed.

    I don't see why they wouldn't be in, they were in Shogun II.

    i think there will be some kind of introduction, but it could be done with (slightly animated) pics while some voice tells you the story of the faction.

    i d prefer proper videos but i dont have high hopes for it. they didnt show much close-up ingame footage yet
