I am quite pleased to see them trying to do such a modern settings, altough I am not sure how they want to handle all those really powerfull dudes. Like...yes, orcs and imperial guards make for amazing line battles, but what about the massive tanks, or even the Spez Marines? They never attack in massive lines, compared to the orcs. I guess it would be cool to finally see solo hero units with abilities?

Hoooooly poo poo, it's actually confirmed? I think my dick just dripped a little. Here's hoping that we get a crazy Tilean city-state faction. I need my birdmen zooming over the battlefield with their DaVinci-esque flying machines. Edit: Calling it right now. Dark Elves are going to suck playing as.

TWCenter Reacts to TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMERquote:Im looking forward to this game. But im looking foward to the Forum meltdown as well. History fanboys foaming at the mouth and denouncing CA as traitors. WARHAMMER purists posting pictures from GW books saying "This is how a dwarf beard should look! Get it right CA." The lost voices of people just after a decent gaming experiance. quote:As hard as this is to believe, I am even less interested in Warhammer: Total War, Arena or Kingdom than I am in Alien: Isolation. I've never played an Alien game and I have never seen an Alien movie. quote:So they were going Warhammer fantasy after all. The rumours were true. Well at least they don`t have to worry about historical authenticity any more. That`s no doubt a big stress off their backs. It`s probably for the best. If you can`t/won`t do reality, go fantasy. Does anyone over there actually know that WH is a board game, with rules and numbers and all that? quote:while they wouldn't have to care about historical realism, those Warhammer games have quite strict rules themselves... Warhammer fans would not accept any deviations... i think it would be even harder on them than doing another historical game.. quote:I'm interested in fantasy, and I'm interested in Total War. But I woldn't buy a fantasy Total War. quote:Total War and fantasy should not mix, I have zero interest in a fantasy TW in general and of the whole Warhammer setting in particular. This would be a major dissapointment for me, I'd hate having to wait until the next TW for a "proper" TW game. quote:If thats true iam officially the most angry FORMER CA supporter ever. Of course i will not buy such a game because it has nothing to do with history oriented total war series up until now and i will of course rage over it to my circle which were also total war supporters. quote:RIP Total War. quote:Worst news of my life. quote:It could well be a small free-to-play mobi game. It could be an independently developed game. As long as CA keeps chunking out history-based Total war games every year, I"m satisfied. I fail to see any logic in the argument that development of other games would siphon off resources from developing Total war franchise. If the franchise is still beneficial, there will always be enough funding and thus enough people working on it. from forums user Anibal at portas: quote:this is vomitive a warhammer in a totalwar. quote:if CA take out a game based tolkien middle earth,i would be very excited,but a filth of warhammer is unfortunate. quote:i speak of the authentic veteran players who love history and grand strategy, we have fought for years for a full war games that were the most historical potential with deep and immersion. quote:Since CA likes making fantasy games might as well use a fantasy setting forums user Leving has a special kind of message for WH fans ... quote:Warhammer is a kiddy game which has dolls and toy soldiers. That is how it should stay. quote:lol, so still a game for children then? Does it have dragons and orcs also? ha ha! quote:Ah, well in that case I'm sorry that CA is taking the reigns on a personal favorite of yours. quote:If people want to play with paints, dolls and plastic army men then that is absolutely their prerogative. I just find it funny that such things have made it into Total War. lastly ... quote:Wtf is Warhammer

TWC is still terrible is like that phrase about god being in heaven with us. All is right (or wrong?) with the world. I like to imagine they'd still do this, even if Creative Assembly did something incredibly positive like give money to charity or pay a English heritage site or something.

Sober posted:TWCenter Reacts to TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER Ahaha, why the gently caress are they even playing TW in the first place? I mean, I haven't played the first parts of either Shogun or Medieval so those might have been very different, but everything else was at the very most on a History Channel-level of historical accuracy. Which is by no means a bad thing, mind. Rome's weird units were hilarious and awesome, and the move to really streamline and "gamify" everything for Shogun 2 was one of the best decisions they've ever made. But it's absolutely not the series I'd go to if I wanted to  out on super nuanced historical realism.Fake Edit: All these guys being smug as hell about "playing with dolls" while ranting on the internet about vidjagames is just

I really don't understand why hardcore history people are playing these games at all. They have never been meant to be realistic or super historical. If this were EU or something I could understand the whining about historicity but these games have never really been on that level so I don't understand where that crowd came from. I mean I'm not interested in Warhammer at all either but I don't see how CA making a Warhammer game is some kind of betrayal or whatever

Well, a lot of people who like history enjoy the historical setting of TW games, and I can understand why they are not too into stuff like biker barbarians and flaming pigs. But then you also have people who complain because line infantry has the wrong number of buttons on their sleeves...

I actually study history IRL, but I also find the TWC weirdos baffling. I can just about guarantee that none of the TWC grognards actually have anything to do with professional history and I imagine that their constant whining has to do with them not really having an understanding of what history is. For some reason, they seem to have gotten the idea that video games like this are designed to be an actual recreation of the past rather than it just being a setting for telling little pixel men with swords to kill other little pixel men with swords.

Ugnhhh so happy about that announcement. Ever since I found the call of warhammer mod for MTW2 I've wished the same thing would be done by CA. They've done a great job with that mod but it's taken years just to get relatively stable and balance is all over the show but it's still great fun. If it's just a tidier expanded version of that mod I'll be so stoked. However I wonder how they'll deal with the End Times plot that's being unfolded by Games Workshop? The mod is based on an earlier event that didn't really shake things up much. At the moment GW is just wrecking poo poo and all the 'good' races are mostly demolished.

Gee I wonder if Games Workshop, the company that's a huge pain in the rear end when licensing their properties, had anything to do with them not using the Total War name which is a Sega / CA brand, as opposed to their own brand which they care a whole lot about?

shalcar posted:I don't think you understand how licences work. Total War is a CA brand, appending -hammer is not likely to get approved by GW. When licensing someone's property you need to get their permission to use it and they define how you get to use it. There are requirements that cover all kinds of things - the font you need to use, the colors you need to use, how your naming scheme has to be. There are a lot of Warhammer / WH40k licensed games on the market so this isn't a new thing. I don't even understand what you are trying to say. That CA has total freedom in what they choose to name a Warhammer game and that they don't need the approval of their licensor for the title? Or that GW does not have a reputation for being a pain in the rear end licensor, more than most - similar to let's say Lucasfilm / Lucasarts was with Star Wars? [edit]Yeah I was saying Steve Jackson Games instead of Games Workshop. Thats what I get for playing illuminati over the holidays. Sorry for any confusion.
