Sega Announces Total War: Rome II

Posted on Monday, July 2 @ 10:12:24 Eastern by Keri_Honea


True to Sega's word that Total War will be one of the publisher/developer's on-going series, the company announced Total War: Rome II, a sequel to their hit strategy PC game via press release. The game is scheduled to release "some time next year."

“Our games have always encompassed a grand vision,” said developer Creative Assembly's creative director Mike Simpson. “But we’re now pushing that vision at both ends of the spectrum. From the immense reach of the sandbox campaign right down to the human-level drama of a single warrior on the battlefield, we’re aiming for an unprecedented level of detail and scale.”

Creative Assembly further promises that Total War: Rome II will be "the most expansive turn-based campaign and the largest, most cinematic real-time battles yet seen in any game."

I'm a huge fan of the Total War series, so yes, this greatly intrigues me.

    To tell you the truth, I was a bit disappointed with this announcement mainly because I was hoping that they'd do a different era or area.

    I think Creative Assembly doesn't have much left in the tank in terms of new material. After Empire you had Napoleon which was just more of Empire. Then they went back and did Shogun 2 and now here is Rome 2. I'm guessing another Midieval will be their next "new" game after this. Personally, I gave up on the series after Empire and it looks like I haven't missed much at all since they have made a habit of rushing games out that are full of bugs and glitches and treat their customers like garbage.

    people have been asking for Rome 2 long enough that it would be very very stupid for them to not deliver

    i do however think it wont meet expectations, the quality has really gone down hill since the first

    I predict for this game that it will have about half the factions of the first game playable, and you won't be able to unlock any more through a simple text editor. Probably more of that vendor specific, preorder bonus crap.
    I love Empire and I like what they did to the battle system in Napoleon, and I even bought the Fall of the Samurai for Shogun 2, but unfortunately these later games have poor performance on even higher end machines and a terrible business model that leaves you with only a barebones game and all the extra touches for 2-5 dollars a peice.
