Shogun 2: Total War, Battle Types Interview

Start building your strategies now as Shogun 2 ups the ante with new game modes, bigger scale battles and deeper game play!

I’m totally pumped for this game. I’ve always been a fan of this series, from the first ever Shogun all those years ago, to this very day. I can safely say this is the most excited I’ve been for any Total War game yet, this game is just stunning. Any Sega fan that hasn’t given this game a try yet is doing them self a great injustice!

I think it was a mistake not showing this at Tokyo Game Show, I think this is the one Total War game to break into Japan with.

Shogun 2 In-game footage

Here is an in-game presentation of the newest Total War game, Shogun 2:Total War. The video isn’t the best quality but you can understand the jist of it.

In the video the presenter speaks about their new engine as well as the effects it can do. He also mentions the staggering number of units on screen, a possible 56 thousand! Finally engaging in a large scale land battle.

This is very impressive tech even at this pre-alpha stage.

Shogun 2: Total War, press release

Sega have released the official press release for Shogun 2: Total War which gives the finer details on what to expect from the 6th game in the series.

There are some very cool additions such as pre battle speeches from your generals which haven’t been seen since Rome: Total War and It is pretty impressive with a possible 100,000 different speeches depending on your army, location, relationship to the enemy and all sorts. Other note worthy additions are seasonal battles that effect game play, shrines to capture or burn effecting troop moral and many more.

It is never to late to get into this truly awesome series and Shogun 2 seems like the most fitting game yet since it’s set in the home land of our favorite company.

Shogun 2: Total War is official


It is now official, since IGN has a hands-on preview of the title. It is said the game will revolve around 8 war factions and not have the epic scope that Empire had.

The game will also offer small scale ambush fights to full scale wars. This should be pretty good, since Samurai anything is good in my book.
