Shogun 2 Total War - Battle Report #1

In this Shogun 2: Total War Battle report, The Creative Assembly's Land Battle Programmer (Ingimar Gudmunsson) and Studio Communications Manager (Kieran Brigden) talk viewers through an epic night time battle, as the Chosokabe clan take on the Takeda clan.

As a storm rages and lightning flashes from the sky, we get a look at some of the varied units available as well as some of their unique abilities.

The video will demonstrate some of the new graphics technology integrated into Shogun 2: Total War, including new deferred lighting, accurate fire and building damage simulation and rainfall effects. The background also hints at the sheer scale of the castles that players will later encounter in siege battles.

With fire archers raining down arrows on the katana cavalry and an epic hand-to-hand engagement on the battlefield showing off some of the new motion-captured combat, who will prosper in this winner-takes-all battle?

I could see a ww1: total war, knowing when to charge or retreat from a trench, I really don't see a ww2 though

@doogieums404 Yeah, I would be up for that. I would also like to see a WW2 version of this. Not full blown WW2 style, rather very early on when air power wasn't as massive as it became during the later years. Probably hard to get a ww2 total war to feel anything like the Total War series, though.. because of tanks, mostly.

@ronnysoeberg How about America: Civil War? That might be good.

I can't wait for Vegas: Total Whore

[Drollify]

@SMDpeps Or Rome 2 total war

[ronnysoeberg]

I'm going to say this and then run as far away as possible because the amount of shit you get for saying this is unbelievable. I hope they make another Empire Total War. I really liked the gun and cannon gameplay in that game. Felt less daunting than shogun 2 as well (got shogun 2, just.. didn't like it. Too much melee for my tastes).

@SMDpeps Rome 2 Total war

[mecole1995]

They need to make a WWI or WWII total war

[fantasticatif]
