Rome 2 : Total War

Komedy · 26 Jun 2012 at 18:19

oh yes Plz !

Rome 2: Total War appears to be the next RTS game underway at UK studio The Creative Assembly.

The next month page of Australian mag PC PowerPlay features an image of the original Rome game along with a large 'II', a more than subtle hint that it's set to show off a sequel to the 2004 strategy gem.

CA's seemingly imminent announcement is backed up by an upcoming appearance at the Rezzed show in Brighton, where next month it's due to show "a sneak peek of what we're doing next."

Was the first total war game i played and i have played everyone since. Still find it to be the best although shogun 2 came close. Very excited

Oh man, that blows my mind.

Rome combined with Total Realism was the best game I have every played on the PC.

Good find, Komedy.

Much fappage if this is true.

I didn't buy Napolean or Shogun 2 after the whole Empire unpleasentness.

Despite the inevitable lousy battle/diplomacy AI, broken sieges, poor patch support and numerous other endlessly repeated bugs, I will have to get my grubby mitts on Rome 2! This era kicks bottom.

Aesir · 26 Jun 2012 at 19:15

Rome has always been my favourite total war so I cannot wait for the sequel

lucky13 · 26 Jun 2012 at 19:18

This excites me greatly

JDMaverick · 26 Jun 2012 at 19:23

I know what I'll be playing for the next decade... Cannot wait! :cool:

You missed out on 2 fantastic games, they got a lot better after Empire. This gives me hope for Rome 2.

Agree with CaptainRAVE, Empire was poor but the two follow ups were nice. I prefered Shogun 2 by a mile though probably as I'm not an enormous fan of more modern era RTS on the whole though.

Great news if there is a revisit to ROME, although I'd love them to do the same with MTWII at some point too.

Medieval 3 will be after Rome it's a continual cycle which personally I love!! I know some people wanted a Victoria age total war but not me bring on Rome 2!!!

robfosters · 26 Jun 2012 at 20:41

Can't wait to burn some barbarians alive :cool:

Maximus Excitedness!

shaggyd · 26 Jun 2012 at 20:55

ROME II????? Oh dear, need new pants!!!!

robfosters · 26 Jun 2012 at 21:00

A rare thing these days. What I call a NHG (new hardware game).

The rare occurrence where I would be prepared to shell out a few hundred to get the best experience from a new game. Actually there's 2 coming. This and Sim City 5.
