    Default The vids online this afternoon ...

    Excuse me for the somewhat "cavalier" title. I just got a nice message: Today on 17.00 MEZ (means 16:00 GMT) you'll find on http://www.gamestar.de the complete review (of course in german) and most of the review-videos to watch (those i took the screens from).

    I will add the complete link to the vids for the "non-native-german-reader-speaker-whatsoever" here.

    Edit: What i have done yet. Have fun!

    The review:

    Thanks for the news Marten . Germany seems to get all the best Empire stuff.

    Seems to me, it is more the reviewer himself e.g. his interests in the game. Michael Graf (the mags reviewer) is a real fan of the TW-Series, so he has more to say, show and to criticize unlike other, more action and fps-orientated guys?

    That should be, "Ich spreche kein Deutsch."

    And I've unfortunately forgotten too much to even partially understand a native speaker...

    Finally! Been hoping something like this would happen.

    I can't speak German but it will be great to see the campaign in action. Great find Marten!

    First Post updated with links! Have fun with the vids!

    I think, another post with screenshots would be meaningless ...

    A post with screens would be nice for those of us like me who are not willing to download a couple of 40mb videos, in a language we cant understand, on a replacement laptop that cant run large video files witout maxing out the cpu capacity.

    Easy there Greyblades. Marten isn't required to get you any of those stuff (especially since it doesn't look like an English version has been released yet). Patience is a virtue. You could also check the review thread for Eurogamer's review.

    Um, I'm sorry if I came off as offensive I was just annoyed at my weaker-than-an-asmatic-ant laptop that cant-play-a-video-file-let-alone-a-decent-game I am forced into using.

    Yeah I don't think Greyblades was being demanding or anything. He was more pointing out how frustrating it is to deal with the PC he's on right now.

    Just a miscommunication it seems. He didn't mean anything by it.

    Ah ok. Yeah finding it at this point would probably take longer than waiting for Empire to come out next week.

    It's too bad Vista doesn't run MTW. I'd love to have Shogun and MTW on my desktop as well as Empire, just to compare how far the franchise has come.

    I'm watching through the collection of videos, and others on that same site.

    Game looks unreal. I don't remember ever seeing a Strategy game looking this good before.

    It wouldn't be, as it would be in English. So I would know exactly what was going on.

    I fear this is going to become a rallying cry in the ETW forums

    Thanks for the links Marten, it looks like CA was telling the truth 100%. From what I've seen in the land and naval battle videos the action looks much more smooth and polished than what I witnessed in the demo, a good example of this is the melee animations in land battles. Looks like the demo really was old code, I have to admit my blackened heart had its doubts!

    The campaign videos, despite not knowing a bit of german, actually make me a lot more anxious about the game. These next five days are gonna be rough.

    Tell me about it. Wednesday is a long way off when you have videos and screenshots like the one's we're viewing.

    Based on what you're saying about the demo most likely being old code, do you see anything gamebreaking? We have that thread going about a "friendly fire bug" - do you see any problems?

    I don't so far.
