Looks like the TW franchise is gonna be a massive melee in which you are no longer in control of vast empires and are instead a single warrior. AND ITS ONLY COMMING OUT ON CONSOLES! Sega bought out CA and believe that they will turn a better profit if they convert it into a title more reachable to the masses and will probably end up sellling a hell of a lot more than RTW. Heres to hoping that they dont forget about the real TW and are currently cooking something up right now for the rest of us.
(oh and i do think that the new game has a cool concept, but i just love RTW too much to let it die)
/edit and the fact that the game has a flame thrower is just kinda stupid, i know that the greeks had their greek fire oil stuff that they used in war, but a WW2 flame thrower, i mean cmonjavascript:emoticon('???')

but have you seen a new fallout game since?
Check today's date if not.

Considering that the original fallout team was dead when Fallout:BHOS was in development, you can be pleased you even saw that one. Currently the fallout licence is owned by Bethesda, the people behind the morrowind titles.
"...sell-outs!..."
"...dumbed down!..."
"...gaming is degrading!..."
"...It all used to be much better..."
"...They just don't build 'em like they used to..."
"...Has anyone seen my cane?..."
Let's get a few things straight:<ul><li>This is <i>not</i> an April's Fools joke.</li><li>Sega has nothing to do with the game's production. TCA had started development on it well before it was acquired, and seems to retain creative control over its work.</li><li>This was not created in a bid to save the company because the 'unwashed masses' didn't 'get' TCA's Total War series anymore. Rome made very respectable sales.</li><li>There is <i>no</i> indication that the Total War franchise will be abandoned over this. The team is still intact, TCA has a long experience of cooperating with big boys and still retaining its integrity.</li></ul>What this boils down to to me is that a team full of people who had created very highbrow strategy titles (all of which I loved) since before we wrote years with a '2' in front has decided to do something different for a change. I won't fault them for that.

Nem0 wins.
All other posts in this thread are now redundant.
No, I think it was announced a while ago. Like I said, it's not the new direction for the whole entire series.
I hope <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
It was posted on Penny Arcade a few strips back, IIRC, so no.
If only that were true. At least FOBOS would be better than Fallout: Morrowind with Guns.
Zulu: Total War. Has a nice ring to it. (:
America: Total War.
What happen when US split into New England Republic, Confederate of Texas, California Empire, and being invaded by Canada and Mexico
I really think you're just not thinking big enough. I'm guessing what you mean is it'd be hard to write it all down, or something. At least a modern one would be kind of nice. You can have atmosphere without the setting existing in real life. Fictional settings are great when someone with a good imagination does them. Otherwise, what's the point in it if you know everything about it and are already used to it?
What I'm saying is that, to me, a big part of Total War's attraction stems from the details, the sheer accuracy of the experience. A futuristic scenario just can't offer that, because there's nothing to be accurate about.
