Yeah the 2D map is just an overview of the world.

Looks boring.
"I think Call of Duty resonates because it's believable and relatable," Sledgehammer Games cofounder Michael Condrey says.
Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

It's a smart move from the devs to get Joey Berry to work on these videos.

Hmm, somehow I expected them to make it feel more like Warhammer rather than just a Total War reskin.

As usual, the battles are too fast and end way too soon.

The Total War series is dying, that's something I'm convinced of watching that "2016" version of the same shit. CA won't ever improve. They did a massive poodo creating their new engine.
They're going to make 3 of these Warhammer games. Think about that. Three.
They're sold as stand-alone games that can be merged into the same game in order to unlock the entire map. Think about that.
If the first game sucks daddybags they're still gonna make 2 more with different races.
Its too bad, because when we played the first Total War games I bet we were all wondering how they'd evolve if released in 2016. Now we know, and it ain't pretty. It is all uninspired, lacking heart. The menus look tedious and the art of the UI looks like an indie game. CA has become a parody of itself.
You're absolutely right that the gameplay looks boring. I used to like zooming in to watch units fight in Shogun 2 because it was "choreographed", here units don't really react that much; CA blames the different sized units; big monsters versus humans were too hard to sync up visually. Loser mentality spotted.

True... CA has stayed afloat because of fans desperately hoping for a good game in this vein of games; CA is striking out it looks like. Churning out pure crap that takes multiple years to fix, denying mod support, too.

Wonder how much input SEGA has on CA's creative vision? It seems ever since SEGA bought them out, it all went to shit.
My specs:
Ryzen 5950x @ boosting 5ghz, Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master, 128gb G.Skill Trident Neo pc3600 ram, nVidia RTX 5080, SoundBlasterX G6, Samsung 980 Pro m.2 1TB and Hynix m.2 1TB storage SSD. Custom watercooling loop.

Prandur yours is the wiser approach, but the early signs (speaking as someone who invested tons of hours into previous Total Wars games bar Rome 2) aren't looking great. The released footage and demos aren't impressive by any means nor is graphics and the UI, and the restrictive gameplay with regards to which races aren't able to take over other races' settlements is a bad, lazy design choice that goes against Warhammer lore. Vampires for example can't occupy dwarven mountain cities; as far as I know the only option is to raid them or destroy them. Warhammer lore has vampires taking over and living in a dwarven mountain city, so you can understand why this is annoying.
Anyway, as a fan of what these games try to be and hope to be, but never seem to become; I hope they're able to make a fun game this time around. Did not like the gameplay that goes against lore. Its an easy escape for CA.
Naturally as time goes by and gaming evolves, we want -more- options in our games, not less.

I hate, hate, hate it when games get too tie down by the setting, especially in strategy games such as Hearts of Iron or Total War games. Imagine if in HoI Japan has to join the Axis, or USA has to go to war or in TW:R Rome has to collapse. That really defeats the point of this genre of games.
Stop putting stupid limitations in your games CA.
I could appreciate that this isn't a TW reskin, that they try to add some unique mechanics that fits the WH setting, but again this just limits the kind of fantasy a player can have when you don't let them create their own leaders, and have linear quest lines revolving these pre-made characters.
I hope I'm wrong and that the game will have a lot more freedom, I really do.

Huh? People playing historical or fantasy games usually want to be true to the setting. TW games have never restricted turn of events, so indeed Rome can fall in TW.
In a fantasy setting such as these, where the world is so well defined, I don't understand the criticism. |

Indeed. My problem with what I have seen is not that they have imposed limits, it's that the limits are seemingly arbitrary and don't make any sense within the context of the world/lore. That rant video from a few pages back covers the gist of it.

I think that in the end these limits will have little impact on whether the game is enjoyable or not. At least for me, it's really going to be mostly about the "feel" of the controls, responsiveness, whether there are interesting mechanics (incl. upgrades/RPG elements), whether the game is challenging enough etc.

It's a game, I prefer it to be more "interactive". Historically / lore accurate is fine, I don't have problems with that, but don't limit the possibilities of player's decisions. Make it optional. It's only fun so many times that you follow the same linear path written by others. Making your own "What if" is the one thing games can offer better than other medium.
I guess to make it simple. I prefer these kind of games to let the player be the leader, not just playing as a pre-made character that has fully defined personalities, philosophies, etc.

"This could be the best Total War game we’ve ever made. We don’t want to rush it."
Meanwhile, the system requirements have been nailed down, giving you an extra month if you need to plug your computer full of new bits.

It's just a step towards more cost effective development. They have done absolutely nothing that should warrant 64 bit transition. From the battle vids it's apparent that the engine is still the one used in Empire, which itself was only a step over the one in Rome. We shouldn't expect anything but poor MP performance, exploits and plenty of balance problems on top of it all.

Indeed, so that every game can be Denuvo protected.  |
I have no issue with that since I'm getting games on sale nowadays. Every now and then I do a day 1 purchase, but not this title.
Denuvo requires 64bit?
