Total war games always do look great. They do push PCs which has resulted in 3 new PCs for 4 TW games!

EDIT: perhaps OCUK should sponsor TW games!

Ya, this is the only game I see myself needing to upgrade for over the next year if I want to play at max settings, and my pc is pretty beastly already.

i want this to be good but CA has such a long way too go to restore my faith in any of their products after Empire and Napoleon. After Empire I thought Id give them another chance but Napoleon so disappointing. But original shogun had some of the best background music and the cut scene videos where funny.

This. Think I'll wait until after release and read some real reviews.
 
Nappy was good to very good but by no means R:TW. E:TW was still a solid game with Darthmod.

Lets be honest about the TW series. These games push the envelope of what strategy games are about. They are constantly trying to introduce new features and new AI into the games so that you can't just steam roll through the countries. They messed it up completely with agents in MTW2 and with ETW (too many to list) but the games were modded so that these bugs were sorted.

At the time Sega pushed ETW out as they were in serious financial difficulties which have been sorted now. This game will be good and i have a feeling excellent. Waiting for reviews is a waste of time now, you need to hear real player opinions.

+1

Looking forward to this but shall wait for reviews, been burned twice now and rather not fork out my hard-earned cash for some buggy piece of crap.
 
I've only ever experienced bugs once in a TW game and that was with E:TW ctd before the patches. N:TW had no game changing bugs for me and the agents in M:TW2 weren't too bad if you used them and trained loads of assassins for inquisitors.
 
I had some of Segas game testers at work today. They said it was shaping up to be good and better than Napoleon. They wouldn't give me a clue on release date as they didn't know themselves I think. They did say that Sega had been listening to the comments about the previous games when doing this one.

I'm a massive TW fan. Started with R:TW. Lost a significant piece of my life to that game. Empire was'nt good. Tried to be too big. just got lost in it tbh. Napoleon much. much better and still enjoying that.

This looks good and will no doubt join my collection.

I just hope R:TW is in the offing sooner rather than later.
 
We had some Sega game testers at work on Saturday and they reckoned this will be good and better than some of the previous versions. Apparently Sega have been taking note of what the community has been saying.
 
I didn't even bother with the last 2 after reading a lot of reviews. That, and the idea of TW + guns just doesn't work for me.
 
I cant wait for this game, i think the shogun era is a lot better than any other era they done. But i think rome is the better game if you know what i mean.
 
Hmm, the AI looks impressively better in that video. I just hope I can run it as I can't upgrade this computer anymore. :(
