Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai Pre Order Trailer

[zt76831]

It seems to me that The Creative Assembly is preparing for Victoria: Total War.

They certainly wouldn't go to all this work (overhauling infantry and naval tactics to such an extent, and adding such features as naval bombardments (on the field and on the map), naval sieges, semi-modern arms, et cetera) just for a one-off expansion.

The modern era is coming, gentlemen...

[mrcrazywizz]

This reminds me of "The Last Samurai" with Tom Cruise.

[ekmad]

looks awesome

[TheSevenCamels]

I wish they actually told us how the Pre Order factions are different rather than slapping on some arbritrary flavour text and leaving it like that...

[oxis77gas]

Will be retail copy ? Or only digital ? 

[GamerspackIL]

@oxis77gas

From what the PR told us there is going to be a retail copy

[oxis77gas]

@GamerspackIL

Tnx for info, i never buy digialal version or even dlc...

[Magni56]

@oxis77gas

One of the faction packs is only for people pre-ordering retail.

[sano0311]

Please make Rome Total War 2 already. I am still fucking playing the first one. FUCK JAPAN GIVE US OUR LEGIONS BACK U ASSHOLES!!!!!

P.S. Do not reply to my comment because that is just retarded.

[SuperSupaSAIYAN]

@sano0311

I replied. :P

[sano0311]

@SuperSupaSAIYAN you are also retarded :P

[Paintpenetrator]

@0JustSomeStupidName0 wow.... so no practical solution =.=;; this is really dark day for total war fans.....

[Youmakemefart]

they should stick to making proper, MODABLE strategy games... all these stupid storylines etc. are starting to piss me off...

[stop858able]

The Last Samurai is the only American film, for a limited audience mentally U.S.

[fiskerlord]

This is looking really promising :)

[Paintpenetrator]

I am pretty sure some guy will make a Hitler parody video about having to buy 3 same game to get full version

[Paintpenetrator]

i don't want to buy same game 3 time so i can play the full version

[SIEGFFFF]

@Paintpenetrator Its not the same game, this is not an expansion pack, it's a totally new game, it's like saying Empire and Napoleon or Rome and Medieval 2 are the same

[Paintpenetrator]

@SIEGFFFF Hey Siegffff I think you should read what i have actually said. When i said 3 same game i mean the total war shogun 2 fall of the samurai-preorder has 3 different version one for sega, one fore retail-store, one for steam. Each of them allows one extra faction. So If you want all 3 faction, you have to buy same game 3 time through different place which i believe is not really admirable decision.

[Magni56]

@Paintpenetrator

Or you wait a few months and the other packs will be released as seperate DLC for like 3 bucks each. Just like with the Hattori that were originally only avaiable for people buying the limited edition of SHogun 2.

[TheGuyWhoShotU]

@SIEGFFFF Dude, IT IS a expansion pack. Are you high? It even says on the damn website it is a stand alone expansion.

[LuccaLM]

@TheGuyWhoShotU - I think that you're the one high here. Its says cleary: "Notice: DOES NOT require the base game Total War: SHOGUN 2 in order to play."

[TheGuyWhoShotU]

@LuccaLM A standalone expansion means you don't need the base game. But that doesn't mean it isn't a expansion pack. Company of Heroes opposing Fronts is a standalone expansion for another example. But don't take my word for it: "Full Stand-alone Expansion to Total War: SHOGUN 2 Concludes the Epic Saga of Samurai-era Japan!" Is also on the main webpage of the site. -.totalwar.com

[LuccaLM]

@TheGuyWhoShotU - Oh im sorry then, my friend. :) This is kind confusing. lol I didnt know that CoH:OF were a Stand alone expansion (now i now the meaning :P). Well thx for correcting me and sorry again. :D The important thing is that this game will rock! (i hope).

[LeeroyFan101]

So is Tom Cruise going to be a playable character?

[stop858able]

@LeeroyFan101 No Tom Cruise will be unhistorical hero

[petertel123]

@LeeroyFan101 GOD NO!!!

[mindarinas]

@LeeroyFan101 I lol'd

[Dalarna3]

I think they do a Civil war one or a WWI game next.

[BlackPanteraSociety]

@Dalarna3

They already did a Civil War game. Total War Shogun II is all about a Civil War...

[SharpenedScalpel]

@BlackPanteraSociety "I found myself a new civil war" ....... that's what the US soldier says.....that's not excluding the fact, that there never was a civil war in Japan. Listen more carefully next time ....

[TheGuyWhoShotU]

@SharpenedScalpel lol, Japan has had many civil wars. The one the depict in this game, the Boshin War, is also another civil war. You don't even know what civil war is do you?

[AUG351]

@SharpenedScalpel The whole game of Shogun 2 is about the warring states of Japan lasting from15th century to the beginning of the 17th century basically a giant civil war.

[SharpenedScalpel]

@AUG351 Yeah, but the point of this video is, that a US civil war veteran travels to Japan and there he finds a "new civil war". Get it ?

[BlackPanteraSociety]

@SharpenedScalpel

There was never a civil war in Japan? The Sengoku Jidai period WAS all out civil war! Sengoku Jidai literally means "The Age of the Country at War".

[zetarn]

@BlackPanteraSociety

They didn't call a Civil war because in that era , they didn't call themself a "Japanese"

Those shoguns see themself as a president of their land so they are make a war with a rival warlord , The Emperor just a puppet to use from time to times

[BlackPanteraSociety]

@zetarn

President? In the 16th century?

It was a civil war. Japan was a "unified country" under one figurehead Emperor but most executive power lay in the hands of the Shogun(kinda like Metternich under the Habsburgs or Bismarck under the Hohenzollers) and each Diamyo(leading a family/clan/tribe) had control over his lands and serfs, in a Feudal System similar to that of West-Central Europe.

But still they were all Japanese and considered themselves to be so.

[Dalarna3]

@BlackPanteraSociety Wow, lame. 

[BlackPanteraSociety]

@Dalarna3

Typical American.

[AUG351]

@Dalarna3 There are American Civil War mods for empire and one that going to be for napoleon

[Dalarna3]

@AUG351 But without mod tools, they aren't very good.

[Mrasianpopmusic]

i hate rifles lol...i am gonna RUSH THEM WITH MELEE CAV AND KITE THE RIFLEMAN WITH BOW CAV

[Magni56]

@Mrasianpopmusic

Who says your bow cav will be able to kite anymore? Those are rifles, not smoothbore matchlock muskets. Also, field guns. Gotta love artillery. It adds dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl. :p

[pinglauwa]

God, I am so choosing to fight for the Shogunate.. Can't stand the industrialization..

[nagasako7]

Do I get the Hearts of Iron III ability to ban scientology religion and assassinate scinetologists?

[zetarn]

Good for "The Last Samurai" story plot

[biggles1111]

Do I sense an upcoming 20th century based Total War game in the not too distant future?

[ELcapalla2]

@biggles1111 The series went from Medieval Europe to the Age of Rome, and went from Napoleonic Warfare then to Feudal Japan. I doubt CA would make games in chronological order. Just my opinion though.

[Napoleontas]

I dont want to pre order cause i want the actual physical disc, will it be available for sale in Greece?

[32ndDane]

[LoveNoteProjects]
