YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
Shogun: Total War was a game that started it all. And from the IGN article it seems CA also knows what the fans want from the title -- not Empire, but something far more restricted, far more balanced, far more sublime. I disliked the path the series had been taking since Rome, but I think it's time to return to the fold. *Hops over to his old account at the Org to celebrate* |

It'd be funny and cool if someone actually made that sort of mod with anime chicks in bare bones samurai armor slaughtering each other.

My god that would be awesome!
man I recall getting this when it first came, was the person outta all my friends that had it, everyone used to come round to play it all the time back then, ahh such fond memories It was an amazing gaming experience playing it for the first time, something quite different. The little in game movies of ninja trying to assassinate and so forth. Along with Total Annihilation and Championship Manager I spent way too much time playing these games. havne't bought a Toatl War since Rome but I think I'll need to try this out.

Is it me, or is nostalgia beginning to factor more heavily in the business decisions of game developers? If that's the case, I might as well declare my loyalty to the only clan that I've passionately supported since Koei's original Nobunaga's Ambition, partly inspired by this awesome 1988 Japanese drama series:

So I'll take the second best, a faithful sequel to a classic. Moreover, the scope is small enough that I hopefully wouldn't have such cognitive dissonances I suffered in other TW games. I'm still smarting from the Pyramid-huggers in RTW. Quote:
I know, I know, that'll never happen. More seriously though, I'd assume it's the same situation as Hollywood's recent sequel/remake spurt: in bad times, the big entertainment businesses take the safer paths rather than risk it with new ideas. |

Some gameplay footage:
And a glimpse into the art of calligraphy! Shame I don't have a machine that can run it... One thing I'd be interested in is seeing how well-received the game might be in Japan, in terms of how it portrays the sengoku jidai era. Would there be a lot of interest among Japanese PC gamers for this title?

These are quad cores and I have the AMD equivalent to them. Very efficient and powerful. The main feature though is the addition of the DX 11 which will make this even better. Quote:

Never really did play the first Shogun Total War, so this will be a completely different experience for me to have to try it out

Plus, I hate the crap that comes with computers brought from Bestbuy or Dell. Some places like NCIX in BC will allow you to price match items so you can buy them 30% cheaper than if you brought it in your hometown. That and I do go to Hong Kong and China on a now and then basis and stuff there relatively speaking is cheaper Quote:
The computer I am using is has a AMD II X4 940(quad core) 3.00 GHZ with 4.00 GB and the Radeon 5700 series. This rig is at least 3-4 years old and can run anything thrown at it at max. I'm not that picky at getting super graphics so long as I can run the game properly and decently. |

Home-brew using i7-950/gtx570/6gb-ddr3 - around €1500 similar build from Alienware (actually less powerful) - around €4000 Granted Alienware really are rip-offs, but you get the point. The good thing about home-brew: you get to decide everything. The bad thing about home-brew: you get to decide everything. You need to make sure it all fits together but you can get good deals and pick up nearly top of the line components (top of the line usually is prohibitively expensive, like a processor or GPU costing €800 when the next best one is €250). Your home-brew PC also is generally more upgradeable, and if you are really low on cash you can slaughter your old PC for parts. I've been waiting for Shogun 2 ever since Rome first came out, and I'm getting a new PC just to play this game. Today, you probably wouldn't enjoy the original Shogun as much, but back in the day it was great fun. |
