Everybody check out this new trailer.

I can honestly tell you that this is by far the overal best looking Total War game to date, not just graphcially. The gameplay looks beyond superb. The ship battles look intense and the ground combat looks revolutionary. Throw in this new single player mode to the already expansivly huge campaign mode and then top it off with a patch to make online campaigns and you got yourself one hell of a deal.

Even though Starcraft 2 and all of its glory comes out in 2009, Empire Total War will still be the better game overall.

What do you guys think about it?

Not only am I not interested in a standard style single player in a Total War game but I am even less interested in the subject matter they chose. Since the French revolution was arguably the most important even of the 18th century a single player game based on that would be much more interesting.

I'd be really surprised if a sequel didn't look better than its 3 year old predecessor

I agree with you, but this is definatly not a seller to the US market, while the road to independance is a winner in the US market. Maybe we can expect a mod or even better, an expansion pack. Personally, I was hoping for a french-indian wars campaign with the possibility to start the us independance wars. Anyway, this game still look awsome, I am already hyping this as the pc goty for 2009 ^^ . I will go back to rome:Tw they gave me when I pre-ordered, help me to wait until march :)

This game looks unbelievable. Medieval Total War 2 didn't really "convince" me, as it wasn't too different from Rome Total War. But this not only looks much different, it also looks much better.

I'm sure it'd be unlockable but it might offend too many Americans. Actually. On second thought the free publicity would be great. Do this Creative Assembly!

Hopefully that demo wasn't running an i7. You could tell the resolution was really low, which might bring up the question of how well optimized is this game?

Maybe Intel dropped the Core 2 Duo ads in games in favor of i7.
