We should see soon, yes, but the work in itself will still have to be done. Rome TW is already 17 years old after all, and a lot of the original players have long moved on from playing...

Personally, I would love to see a remake of Medieval: Total War even though I am aware of the fact that it had to be a remake rather than a remaster. I loved Shogun, but I adored the cultural diversity of the original Medieval game, the difference between factions that was, truth be told, more atmospheric in nature than in actual gameplay... Still, up to this day, Medieval is my favorite Total War game, and if I could sum it up ion one word, I would say - atmosphere.
Eh, what do I know. I am old and slightly intoxicated this evening, not to mention nostalgic. Let's see Rome Remastered brings back some of the life into these old bones...
Couple reviews are already up...
I don't play tommorow. It looks I have to upgrade my computer. Damn, due to the lockdown I will have to order online my new computer.
Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Someone here played already? So? What with so far unplayable factions? Do they have new rosters or still Slavs are just Vandals, Roxoloani are Sarmatians etc?
Haven't played yet. Still 19 hours to go before it is unlocked..
However there are no new units for the unlocked factions.
Another review..
Just look at the review videos I posted. They explain everything.
And I doubt there are any new portraits. Don't know about the names of Slavs or the British.
Yeah that was one of the minor complaints Ive seen people say, that the "new" factions arent really new but rather unlocked for use with intros added. I'm not annoyed about the lack of additional content, thats why we have mods after all.

Ok well here is my biggest gripe with the remaster already- they changed the main intro. The original one was classic and stood the test of time. Even now it hypes me up to play. But this one? Bland, forgettable. Ugh I hope that someone knocks some sense into Feral and they will change it. Or modders will.

It's still a 17 year old game no matter how much you remaster it - plus I don't think it does it any benefit if you keep showing the limitations of the game engine. (phalanx / spear battle)

Some modders got their hands on Remastered about 2 weeks ago. That's what I heard in Melkor' stream on youtube few minutes ago.
Also..
IT IS OUT!!!

No, it's not.
I mean one of the selling points for the Remaster is updated graphics.
Not this one.
Another note.. checking the Remastered files right now and it is really easy to mod the game. Even I could do it. So hopefully that means we get a lot of mods really soon!
Initial reviews are mixed for the game... which I find rather odd. A lot of people experience crashing.

Haven't crashed for me so far. Although I haven't actually progressed far into the game.
I play as Seleucids but will try a Roamn faction and perhaps Carthage later.
Works fine for me, so far at least. I think most of the complaints are about the UI which I get. It does take a bit to get used to but I think its fine, though the nostalgia in me wants some parts of the old UI back, like how the characters had their stats measured in stars, scrolls, and wreaths.
So far from what Ive played I really think that they need to work on pathfinding in cities, especially barbarian ones. Ive forgotten how lousy it is so I hope some improvement is made there in future updates.
