Leipzig Games Convention

[Swoosh So]

I doubt theres enough variety of units in a stw2 game to fill the current variation of units/factions. I could be wrong tho im not a japanese history buff.

Rome: Total War 2 Readying to March?

By Kris Graft Print | Send to a friend | Email the editor

BLOG - I spoke with Sega’s Scott Steinberg at E3 (or the E3 Media and Business Summit, or as I like to call it now, the E3 MABS) a couple weeks ago, and for one, he is a pretty witty guy and a fun interview and two, is pretty honest and straightforward about issues. And I'm pretty sure he confirmed Rome: Total War 2.

We’ll be posting a story soon from the interview, where he talks about good biz stuff like global expansion and spreading out support across all platforms, and some good stuff for fanboys, like an explanation as to why Xbox 360 is getting VF5 online and PS3 isn’t.

Anyhow, back to the topic as indicated by the headline here. Steinberg seems to confirm that Rome Total War 2 is on the way:

“…We’ve got the Creative Assembly guys doing Medieval and the follow along to Rome which we haven’t announced yet.”

Of course, by “Medieval” he means the other highly-praised entry in the “Total War” franchise which itself has seen a sequel.

Rome: Total War was a killer RTS that originally released in 2004 by Creative Assembly before Sega bought the firm. We’d say it’s overdue for a sequel.

There is a chance that he could be another expansion pack, I suppose, but I think we’re talking full-fledged sequel here.

Jack Lusted? What the hell?
I can't wait for the big news!
My favorite faction from Stripper Total War (the true STW) is Booze and Boobs. I hope they're included. (Crosses fingers hoping that there is actually a strip bar with the aforementioned blunt, unsubtle name in the real world)

Indeed, and this announcement was made after that rumour spread around the net. Read the first post again.

I am excited to announce that The Creative Assembly will be at Leipzig on August 23rd with some HUGE news - and it won't be about revisiting Rome...

As Jack says. It isn't Rome.

It's "Fast as a Shark 2: Yeah Baby"

Anyway back to

It seems everybody from CA has fun now, but it would be better if they really check up their customer's wishes instead of making jokes.

Dear CA, just look at your own poll: The majority of totalwar fans wanted a Rome2.

It's been mentioned...but I'd like to see a Total: Total War...encompassing all of human history....played on a global map....with a hundred or so factions...from the stone age all the way to the nuclear age.

But not just a Civ clone...it would be a TW game through and through.

One can dream....

Dont blame me!Blame Google!

The follow along to Rome could mean anything; hence this announcement (and the release indicating that it will not be RTW2)
