Ugh, I swore after Empire I wouldn't fall for it again. I think I am. :(

Dude, you can get a ton of gameplay out of Empire before it starts to show its lesser sides. Honestly, I played the game for almost 20 hours according to steam and I never felt like I wasn't having fun. I'm not sure what the big deal is. I did buy it a while after release though, so maybe that means something.

How scalable are the Total War games these days?

One of their goals with Empire was to be able to run on Intel integrated graphics.

They had a large article about it on Gamasutra. Never tried to run it on such a chip myself though, so I can't tell you how they did.

Shit, so much for that then. I wonder if the specs are as ridiculous as the Gothic 4 specs in the other thread?

Well you'll be able to play it on much lesser rigs of course but if you want it to look like those videos and get >30fps at all times you're going to need one ridiculously well specced rig.

Love, love the setting. The wootcut look on the unit number cards is just fantastic.

Still with games like this (Total War, EU series, Civ games) I never feel a need to pick them up day one as I usually just play them single player. So luckily by the time I finally pick this guy up in 2012 or so I'll be sure to have a PC that can handle it really well.

good god Japanese ships look awfull :p

starting to like the setting a bit more after seeing those screens, the strategic maps looks great

will probably buy it day 1 at the end anyway -.-

would still prefer Rome 2 :D

althrough, is that normal UI or "minimal UI"?

Multiplayer progression is nice and all but doesn't that just make it even harder to get into it if you are late to start playing online? Also while I am against adding features/rules that make it more game like, it is reasonable because it is a game and its not 100% realistic and its already flawed to begin with. Although it will still bug me.

It means a lot. Empire was a buggy wreck when it released. Creative Assembly will never get more than $20 from for one of their games ever again, that's how fucking atrocious Empire was at launch.

Day Fucking One!! Looks amazing. I was originally a pit peeved they didn't attempt a more modern setting but this looks like its going to make up for it.

Gah, this looks incredible...but its probably alot more taxing on the old GPU than even crysis. I don't my laptop will be able to run in anywhere near decent settings

Looks incredible.

I hope they work more on the AI side this time. And I'm still waiting for Rome 2.

I am really looking forward to this game. Not only because I like the Total War series (and an updated Shogun game has been a long time coming) but also because I have a serious interest in Japanese history, particularly the Sengoku Jidai period. This game has two things that I unashamedly enjoy all in one very pretty package. That's why I'm getting the Shogun 2 Collectors Edition - link.

I am going to eat this game for breakfest, lunch and dinner. I disliked the setting of Empire and Napoleon so this is awesome going back to the roots.

I'm still skeptical about this game, given some of the more recent titles in this series. Here's hoping that they get this one right.
