Rumor: Total War: Rome 2

[LambertandHam]

Big evidence that the next game in the Total War series will indeed be Rome 2. The July issue of PC Power Play, from NeoGAF, has an image showing the original Rome: Total War with a II in front of it. The magazine will be out in July, along with a big Total War announcement at Rezzed. Also, Gameplay magazine is listing the game as being in their next issue.

I loved the original Rome Total War, along with Medieval II and Shogun.

The original Rome was by FAR my favorite total war. I actually used to re-skin units for that game. I'm pretty sure I spent more time playing RTW than any other game I've ever owned.

So hope its true. Rome + updated AI/graphics = WIN

My favorite was the first Medieval. Still play it to this day. Didn't like Rome so I'm not sure if I'll get it or not.


Do you really care where I sent this from?

I just home Rome is one country now and not split into 3, besides a Victoria era game Rome II was my next wish.

Re: Rumor: Total War: Rome 2

Empire went a bit too ambitious and was stretched a bit too far. Shogun 2 seemed a bit too closed in. Hopefully Rome 2 finds that sweet spot as the series hasn't hit the high point in my mind as it did with Medieval 2, my personal favorite.

Can Sega just suck it up and give the Total War folks the Game of Thrones license and make the greatest game ever?

Same here. Hope this is true. I haven't played a total war game in several years.

Re: Rumor: Total War: Rome 2

seems logical. they already done a 2nd Medieval and a 2nd Shogun game. I liked Rome, but was more of a fan of the Medieval ones myself.

I think the first MTW added an extra year to my college degree. I still play MTW2 with the Stainless Steel mod.

I am insanely pumped for this! First Rome game was my favorite PC game ever, spent way too much damn time playing it. I was really hoping they would make a second one.

Bigger, more detailed battles


The setting for the demonstration was the Roman siege of Carthage at the end of the Thrid Punic War, circa 146 – the battle that famously ended with the total destruction of the north African city by Roman forces. The opening shot was a close-up on Roman consul Scipio Aemilianus, giving orders to his men on board a warship. Total War: Rome 2 runs on a new engine that supports the largest and most detailed battles in the series’ history, to the extent of supporting full, in-engine cutscenes. In place of a traditional general’s speech, then, the siege of Carthage began with an actual conversation between Scipio and his men, before zooming out to take in the sight of the Roman fleet approaching the heavily-defended shoreline.
Ships and armies can now take part in the same battles when the situation demands it. As troop-carrying biremes crashed into the shore, Roman boats armed with catapults kept their distance and provided covering fire for the dismounting troops, who formed into ranks before charging up the beach towards the walls. I later asked if this ‘rolling start’ meant that the deployment phase was a thing of the past, but that’s not the case – instead, CA are looking to be more flexible about how battles can begin, based on various circumstances. Beach landings are a confirmed feature, according to lead battle designer Jamie Ferguson, and there’s room for other non-traditional openings as well.
