Hey I was just wondering if anyone else is planning to buy Empire Total War. I've already spent about 6 hours on the demo and still find love edging my impenetrable line of redcoats forwards then watching as they rip the Yankees to pieces xD. Blasting the Froggies on the high seas with hundreds of cannons also has its appeals. Incase this is the first you've heard of Empire the demo is downloadable off steam and here are some vids http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC4PcHGCOR8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpWSjhMk-hE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-WprpQYbC4 It'll probably be the most strategic RTS released this year (Ignoring SC2 of course >>)! "Update" Empire totalwar has now been released the proper trailer can be seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-qq_-Mggxo...
It's made by SEGA? Anyways, looks really fun, but I doubt it'd be able to run on my laptop, the graphics look way too advanced.
1 problem I see is that the multiplayer would take forever, like hours-days forever. I dont know many people who would have 5+ hours to play a single game.
Not my kind of RTS. Too slow. Annoying to see troops realistically and slowly reposition themselves etc. The realism in the design makes it dull in my eyes, too. For an FPS that's fine but I want it fast, unrealistic and stylistic when I play an RTS.
o well, i never tryed that game but i saw your videos. It seem that a game a little like civilisation. It surely take ton of time playing multiplayer. Not a lot of person can play 5 hour whithout need to do somethink other(like work). longer of the game mean the person who have enough time to play will be on really long battle and it will let no one on the lobby for other game. Well, i prefer game who are shorter
I don't think multiplayer is being shipped with release,i've heard it'll be released in a later patch since they are still tweaking how its going to work. I really doubt you'll be forced into 5 hour games without the ability to save against other people =P Reviews are starting to come in, IGN's given it 95 and metacritic has it at 93 off 5 reviews but that might drop 2-3 points as more reviews come in.
so if you want to save multiplayer game like that, you must well know whit who you play or you will never be able to finish that game
Hahaha thats harilous i did not know there was something like that, the release date is today and im going to get it this weekend
