Single Player Campaign Video
Very sweet.
The campaign graphics, interface, and battle graphics are astounding; the art is also well researched, mature and fitting.
if the gameplay is half as good as the graphics are, the AI is taken care of, and the game lacks too obvious bugs at release i predict lots of good times.
Its also fitting that they chose a Japanese lady to narrate it - their english accents have a certain formality combined with awkwardness that makes it some how very characteristic and beautiful in a strange way. Its easy to tell as they usually use interchangeably "r" and "l"; in Japanese its exaclty the same, hence "arrigato" is also "alligato".
Thanks Swoosh, good find. Nice job CA.
I like how narration-lady is flopping back between an English accent and a Japanese one.
Also interesting how the campaign/battle maps are mislabelled.
You think on purpose or by accident? I say accident.
Definitely accident. Although, it brings up doubts along the lines of Piss up, Brewery, Organise.
Nice video! ~:)
Campaign looks brilliant, animations and battle textures look meh.
I'm kinda worried about this.
Yea the color coded soldiers are awful but the game itself looks to be pretty fun.Quote:

They are a bit awkward at times in the way they combine, but they always were - i don't think they will make them match perfectly as move/counter move anytime soon.
The way those ashigaru walk remind me of Teenage Ninja Turtles, two steps at a time.
NTW animations were very good, what's this?

It's a bit worrying the video did not mention the diplomatic AI at all, considering that it's the key flaw of the Total War games. I was really hoping they'd have made some kind of breakthrough with this :(
I liked diplomacy in ntw :O was a big step forward imo.
They should bring back the guy from Shogun 1.Quote:

What are the sexual themes mentioned in the trailer?
Is it marrying daughters to other factions?
It sounds great but you know I am going to wait on this one and see what they deliver before spending the money.
Im going to assume that it has to do with your geisha. I know, I know, geisha did not use sex as part of their business. That was the concubines. But the distinction is never made clear and I bet the developers put one of their geisha assassins in a sexual situation in orrder to make the kill.

This is the next trailer that focuses on battles. More battlefield footage:

Since Empire was a big regret for me, and I didn't buy Napoleon, I will wait a loooong period before deciding to buy this game, no matter how well the hype is given.
Well, maybe. :laugh4:Quote:

If I don’t have it on release day I think I will manage to live. Waiting a while won’t bankrupt the company but lower preorder sales might send a message.
Whether they understand that or not, is another topic.
NTW is what ETW should have been from the beginning. Not in scope but in game play. It is a worthwhile title. Besides that it is also at bargain prices.Quote:

I am getting this on release - sentimental reasons and fan of the setting/period. Of course, it would be naive to think that it won't be without bugs etc etc however every release that is based on the same engine is usually more polished. I also have hopes for the gameplay with less units and i like the idea of more characters/politics on the camp map. But yes, waiting for a bit before buying generally saves you the frustration of having to go through all the bugs that bug the initial release. Buggy affair, pc gaming is.
