That's pretty awesome. Some of my favorite parts:

1. Men go flying when hit with a cavalry charge.
2. Men go flying when hit with artillery projectiles.
3. A siege tower collapses and its occupants fall out.
4. A horse makes a flying leap in a cavalry battle.
5. A bunch of men get knocked down by passing elephants.
6. An elephant rears up and comes down on top of a bunch of legionaires.

This game's gonna be great...

[The Wizard]

Exactly...

This is what historical-accuracy freaks like Rosacrux have already seen... everything's gonna be alright. This game is gonna be amazing to play, and quite historically accurate too Well, historically accurate enough, anyways. Wait for WesW and his cronies to make the game *completely* 100% accurate... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Quote[/b] ]I think I'm going to have a cardiac arrests here. You couldnt be absorbed in a ancient battle in any other game. I loved how they made the atmosphere of the game. Gladiator style music, men flying in the air after a cavalry charge and bombadment And I think I just saw the ground shake when the walls fell. I hope they implemented this into the game and is not just the trailer

[Scipio]

I'm starting to fear RTW now though, it seems to have more of an arcade feel anybody notice? And so many more options mp is going to insane to get a grip on...but I am still eager http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[SwordsMaster]

Well, the emphasis on HUGE flaming fireballs is a bit ridiculous IMO.

Hey CA, enough w/ the sieges for now. How about some Campaign map maneuvering or some battle sequences that feature - sustained - shots?

Who does your editing for these trailers anyway - an ex-MTV video producer??

[Swoosh So]

OMG OMG OMG

They have really gone and done it this time

I mean holy

Thats the best looking thing ive ever seen

Gilljay Fishpants Youve really really gone and done it this time

Goodbye life

Hello Totalwar

Ill take flaming fireballs any day of the week Did you see those barbarians charging thru the woods And the cav charges OMG

Suddenly i begin to worry about my new radeon 9800 pro


A delighted swoosh

PS: Giljay fishpants and all the CA team, you guys have really gone and out done yourselves Hope you get every award under the sun for this game It looks like it deserves it

So you're working on China:Total War then? :)

[TigerVX]

I can't see it =(. Gamespots got so many people looking after E3, I can't get into anything http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif . Can someone upload it please?

Edit: Well, I can't DL it. But I streamed it, and all I can say is *Drool* http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif.

The cavalry charges look awsome Everything looks so good. I'm glad they decided to delay it now. I love watching the celts charge against the cavalry, only to be trampled to little itty bitty pieces. I bet the Carthies will have a field day charging elephents through castle gates, thats one way t get in. Still, I can't believe how smooth everything is. Must have taken a LONG time to get all those motions captures, like the horse jumping and people getting run over (Wonder how long it took to make an Elephant Motion Capture suit.)

[Beelzebub]

Hey Gil if you're not on the RTW team, what else is CA working on? :)

Freaking gamespot.com is such trash. I keep getting invalid file ID errors. Cant u guys send the trailers to fileplanet instead?? The queues there suck, but AT LEAST THEIR PAGES LOAD.

[hoom]

Why the hell does Gamespot get exclusive?
I registered under the understanding I would get to download it but I only get to stream it even when I click on the "download" http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-confused.gif 56k streaming video sucks ass http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-furious3.gif

[Fearless]

Sorry to take away the thunder from Knight Yellow but I felt this trailer needed to be HIGHLIGHTED in a big way.
My son sat and watched it for over an hour last night over and over. Haven't they tweaked the units beautifully. The horses movements now flow and are not jerky. The flying arrows are much improved and I love the ballisters and explosions. A bit over the top but who cares the overall effect is fantastic. CA I hope you make millions on this you deserve it. You can always tell when something is created with love and devotion http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Well, if this game goes arcade... it'll be the first arcade from the donkey kong for the coin-ups era, I'll be playing over and over and over and over and over again and again and again... you can tell I am in love, can't you? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smokin.gif

[hoom]

Holy http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-speechless.gif Rome has shaders http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-surprised.gif
Those new screenshots & the new video (which suddenly Gamespot lets me download http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-confused.gif ) show helmets & some other parts of armour with shiny shaders on them http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-toff.gif
Even on the armoured elephants
& I thought that Rome was going to be pure directx7...~:thumb:

I have no fear for my radeon 9800np but I do fear somewhat for my athlonxp 2000+ (at least for running max detail settings) http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-dizzy2.gif

I can tell that I'm going to be getting tired of the generals' horses rearing whenever I give an order http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/flat.gif

If you go slow-mo through it you can see some interesting things like:
The elephants don't just suddenly charge through the gates, thats just editing.
Chariots can be very dangerous to their own men http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-stunned.gif (so presumably will cavalry?)

[econ21]

Impressive, but for some reason - unlike the other ones - it left me cold. Too many explosions and OTT stuff, I guess. Made it feel like the highlights of a Hollywood action film rather than a historical battle. I hope it's mainly fluff - the gameplay in Time Commanders was much more attractive to me.

[The_Emperor]

I agree that the bombardment was a little too impressive...

The flaming projectiles do look cool in flight and are clearly picking up their function from MTW:VI, however the explosions upon impact did look a bit too large.

However that could be because of the insane number of catapults used in the sequence.

Still it doesn't bother me that much, not when there are so many other options we can use in an assault, besides it has alreay been said that when you take a city you will have to repair the damage you make... How many of you will want to unleash a massive bombardment only to have to pay the cost of the damage afterwards?

The battering rams, ladders and siege towers will probably be the most used by the average player.

[The Wizard]

Why would a flaming rock covered in cloth explode on impact?

Anyways, it was one of two 'dry' parts of the move, the other being the collapsing siege tower.

Gameplay > realism.
No Realism = Gameplay squared.


They aren't separate things.

I absolutely agree with Knight Yellow...

In the terms of Sid Meier:

"If we have to sacrifice realism for more fun, then we will certainly do so."
