RPS has heard the next TW game 'maybe' Star Wars themed with the other 2 been a historical (MW3) and 40K
My 'CA may be saved' spidey senses are tingling

WHATWHATWHAT :shocked:
Wow. :TimeOut:
I don't know how I feel about a Star Wars: Total War...
Heck, 40K would be lots more insane than Star Wars.
And I saw that Medieval 3 tease. However, 40K and MW3 are purely guesses in the article, not even rumor (or not a new rumor anyway).
I would buy 40K in a heartbeat. Star Wars, not so much.
No hesitation for me, immediate buy for Star Wars. As for yet another Medieval game, although I like the time period would rather them try something new (i.e. American Civil War, etc.) although I realize rifle era hasn't been it's strength.

There is some suggestion in the article that elements of WH2 and WH3 have been a practice run with 'rifle' fire for 40k or Star Wars
Having just started a WH2 campaign with the skaven and their warp fire repeaters there's definitely working rifle fire
Cool, then I am hoping they progress to eras not previously covered, versus continuing to have new versions of old material.
'Victoria/Edwardia Total War' please I beg...1837-1910ish...
World War I Total War?? Delayed indefinitely? :embarrassed:

Lord Vadar finds your lack of faith disturbing.
Re rifle warfare in TW: that goes back at least as far as Shogun 2.
I mean Nappy.
I mean Empire.
I mean Shogun 1.
...rifle warfare goes back at least as far as Total War games. :Nerd:
Doesn't mean people thought done well

haha I would buy Star Wars in heartbeat, 40k not so much ......
Well seeing that empire at war is the best Star Wars game of all time and no chance in hell for that series getting revived, smart play going total war Star Wars. It will be interesting to see how they do space combat and planet combat, it could be really cool.
I hope the space combat allows boarding ships with animated boarding battles inside the ships.
Or space battles that transition to planet battles or orbit to planet battles.
As you can see, total war stars wars will be a big feat. If they simply cut and paste Star Wars into the total war system, it will be lame. If they take the time to do it right, it could be epic.
If this is true they will need to fix their engine so I can see things. I want these games! I just cannot see CA creating something that works well and looks good.
^At least the 'indefinitely delayed' WWI game was supposedly postponed because of trouble developing a new engine.
I don't see how they will do any better with Star Wars or 40k then. Perhaps they intend to do Star Wars clone wars and 40k imperial guard "wall of men marching" style battles. If however we end up with flag wars again where I see none of the action but do see a whole bunch of flags, I probably won't bite.
Remember 40k Final Liberation? That is what I would want in a Total War 40k.
Oh look I can see the units clearly even though I am zoomed out;

^boy do I remember Final Liberation. One of the greats. It's on GoG, but I don't think it aged too well.
Cool 😎
