We Have A New Graphics King(Shogun 2: Total War)

Can´t wait for it!

a total war game based on WW1 would be cooler IMO

swords and arrows are boring to me.

What happened to all your 400 dollar computers that "max out" every game at 40 fps average at 1600 x 1000...P?stiggy321

Day 1 buy confirmed. was doubting at first but not anymore.

just hope they optimize a bit better then they did with Empire

Looks amazing. If only my PC can run it but I guess it's time to save money and upgrade.

I think your uing hyperbole quite liberally in this instance. Whilst yes, it's stated that they can run a game at pretty much max (which a $600 PC can do for games like Crysis -- run V.High at reasonable resolutions) it's generally accepted that the same machine won't run games intensive games being released within the next few years. The Total War series is hugely CPU intensive with so much going on on-screen, and takes quite a powerful rig to run (understandably).

Don't bother with stiggy he is just trolling.

This game looks awesome, day one buy for me.

I am not into RTS much but I like the setting.

i dont see it..wasnt even real time anyway..daveg1

Unless I OC the pants off mine. I'm going to need a quad.clyde46

Every "PC gaming is cheap" thread has 30 posts about how a 500 dollar PC runs Shattered Horizon at 90 FPS... or Crysis "maxed" at 30FPS at 1920x1200. I don't think they're talking about Call of Duty 3 or Street Fighter 4.stiggy321

something tells me it won't look quite that good upon final release.

Ravensmash

that is obviously not all gameplay. You can tell by the fluidity of the animations when the battle starts.

I still kinda which they had set the new game in China.. oh well, there will probably be a mod for it in the future.Lonelynight

They will probably hit up China or WWI next.

Personally I would like to see both.

It´s impressive how it looks a good at a distance as it looks up close:

I love RTSs and this game looks absolutelly brilliant. Unfortunatly i dont have a PC powerfull enough for this :?

I'd rather not see WWI..... trench warfare... no thanks, no thanks. They should go and make something futuristic :P

I think China unfortunatelly doesn't have the mass appeal for a TW game. I hope they at least might consider making a standalone add-on to Shogun set in CHina, Napoleon:TW-like.AdrianWerner

I'd like to a see an ahistorical hybrid between Civ and Total War. Something where you dont pick a faction, but instead create one over time. Focusing on cavalry and arches gets you the kinds of units the Mongols would have had. Heavy use of infantry will give you the equivalent of Roman legionaires. Preferably something without the traditional "research this for x turns and get y technology!"Where an ability, weapon, or tactic gets unlocked due to successful (and sometimes not always successful) use of those things. So i'll have to effectively use cavalry alot to get the best.

I'd really also like for it to include the kind of unit customization in Galactic Civs/Elemental. Where i can build my own units based on the weapons, tactics, and techniques ive unlocked.

Shogun 2: Total War

Death by unbelievable, amazing, horrifying, awesomeness.

Graphics King. Seriously. Graphics King.

Detailing on those units is beyond amazing.

It competes with other games zoomed in all the way... This game is an Strategy Game with thousands of units... Graphics King

see, this is exactly the kind of thing i rail on about when pc is allowed in sw.

it's like a professional football player seeing a bunch of kids playing pee-wee football from the open window of his limo and being so insecure that he has to jump out and try to play with them and show them up.

if it's not even a contest for one out of the four systems examined in sw what the hell is the point in bringing it up???

a pc game has a gfx king? stop the presses! i mean seriously, it's a pc title, why do i even have to look at the link???

It's a legitimate part of System Wars, as determied by the almighty who run this board... Why not bring it up?

Anyways, there is more to compare than just graphics, so preference is gonna play a huge part in discussions.

Not Crysis standard.CentricStorm

Crysis doesn't have battles with 10,000 troops.

Take that into consideration, and Shogun 2 is a contender.

it's just silly. maybe the silliest thing in sw tbo. (and is that an achievement unlocked or what? :P)

it's not a slight against pc or pc guys, nobody loves pc as much around here as i do, it just strikes me as odd to have a discussion forum which has one answer for every topic.

pc is better.

does that make any sense to anyone???....... meh sorry guys, it's really not important i'll try to leave it alone.

just tough to do it.

pc is like the itchy scab on SW. i just have to pick at it cuz it annoys me.

like i said i will try to leave it alone but it's tough.

if i was on a bicycle site and some dude blew in and said motorcycles are better i would say , well no duh.

i swear i'm not tring to get on yours or the mods nerves but "it's the rule" is just not good enough.

oh well no biggie. just something i find curious.
