For those of you who is wondering what russian dude is sayin':
He didnt mention where did he get that video, everything else is just commentary, nothing interesting.
i'll add that i'm very much surprised to see that they got this, this is just some poor e-sports site.
Doesn't really matter when the video shows quite a lot of bugs and numerous mechanic flaws.
Edit: They talk about awesome mo-cap yet everybody flies in the air and gets up at the same time with a lame animation. You'd think that got improved from Rome 1... At least...
It seems that i was filmed at lowest settings possible, maybe animations and such has to do with it.Quote:

The animations look like its on highest settings from my Shogun 2 experience, lowest settings does not remotely look like the footage shown.
Also CA's own footage's animations look like this.
If that is the current state of the game, then CA should refund people 20% of their purchase and get to bug fixing fast. No wonder they banked so much on pre-orders.
The ai is still the same ai from Shogun 1 on the battle map. March in formation, then at certain range it chooses which units to engage what. Hence the kamikaze general or criss cross line infantry shooting their own men.
That is what I mean, they really need to take a time out and work on their base. After all these installments we should be seeing an improvement on this front. They really gotta get some back-bone and stand up to their publisher and marketing team and take just one game to improve the foundation before moving on to new things.
I think CA would rather milk the poor franchise to death...
This is like pre E3 footage.
You say that after getting back from browsing TWC eh? Build seems pretty recent, a few weeks ago and CA would not make any drastic changes so it's mostly what you see is what you get even with day 1 patches.
Conclusion: Game is still heavily flawed.
I'm saying it is as old as it looks.
What I've seen look too premature to be RTM. I reckon the reason some Russian dude was able to get his hands on that is since the product is in its alpha stages.
We'll all know for sure on Tuesday.
This, let me know what's the game like when it's released... :PQuote:

Heard that too. It's probably safe to say every Spartan will be yelling "This is Sparta" then.Quote:

Speaking strictly from a QA standpoint, to me this looks like footage from an early build. I'm judging from bugs that weren't evident from more recent footage and the fact that the battle/foot speed in this vid was like it was during the early previews. It's been adjusted since then, although it's still way too fast. I know this game will have many flaws that'll either need to be addressed by CA or by modders, but it would be pretty catastrophic for CA to put out a gold build of a hyped-up title like Rome2 in this condition. I could be wrong though..! Hope not.
The game is absolutely RIFE with gimmicky nonsense though, I really wish these nerdz would stop with that garbage. However, if you look at CA as a company now it's no surprise. Look at the goofy clowns they hire to do their PR for example. Is that not reflective of their game philosophy? That's why we're seeing all this kid stuff. Sometimes they sound like a bunch of little tykes talking about their favorite superheroes (consequently some of the fans as well).
Questions answered by CA;
"Q: How will the Heroes of Sparta be? A: Awesome!"
"Q: Will Companion Cavalry be awesome? A: YES!"
"Q: How cool are the Iceni? A: The Iceni are extremely cool..."
EENUFFFFF!
That sounds funny actually... Forward!!! But... this is Sparta! Not over there >_>Quote:
