Why they change the title order for the sequels?

Today Sega have announced Total War: Rome II which is a sequel to the great 2004 PC strategy game Rome: Total War. Developer Creative Assembly is again making the game which should be out next year.

Creative director Mike Simpson said: “Our games have always encompassed a grand vision but we’re now pushing that vision at both ends of the spectrum. From the immense reach of the sandbox campaign right down to the human-level drama of a single warrior on the battlefield, we’re aiming for an unprecedented level of detail and scale”.

Total War: Rome II promises to be “the most expansive turn-based campaign and the largest, most cinematic real-time battles yet seen in any game.”

From totalwar.com:

  • The creators of the award-winning Total War series set a new benchmark for strategy gaming quality and depth, taking their signature mix of real-time and turn-based gameplay to new heights.
  • An epic-scale turn-based campaign mode in which to plan your conquest of the known world – in any way you see fit.
  • Feel the thunderous clash of battle as the Roman war-machine takes to the field in real-time combat. Tens of thousands of men collide in bone-splintering detail that you directly control.
  • All-new graphics engine: see exotic ancient cities and colossal armies rendered in incredible detail, while jaw-dropping cinematic battles unfold. New unit cameras allow you to see the battle from every perspective.
  • Completely scalable experience, with performance optimised for your PC or laptop. Witness the awesome scale of Total War: Rome II, no matter what your spec. (You sure about that?)

Rome: Total War II – Faces of Rome

The first trailer for Creative Assembly’s long-awaited sequel to Rome: Total War is a live action one which isn’t very reassuring.

The game is looking good but whether it will just be like the first game with better visuals is hard to tell at the moment but seeing as Rome: Total War is arguably the best Total War game so far. I have high hopes for this game and it better be more scalable than Total War: Shogun 2 was. However it was still pretty thought and interesting to play.
