Many A True Nerd made a 44min video about it. He is no stranger to the original, and is very pleased with the remaster.

Interesting, but i think no remastering will top the RS III mod from TotalWarCentral.

I have tried almost three weeks to get Rome Total War I running over Christmas with the Roma surrectum III mod, but no success
Total screw-up of the screen size every f'n time. Not the disc, not the steam version due to Windows not allowing access to certain files.
SCREW YOU MICKEYSOFT

13 hours in and loving it, UI was a bit getting used to not really understanding the hate about it aside that I'd rather had the one in battles be more like the original in terms of aesthetics.


Runs smooth unlike the original which I never could get to run properly on a modern rig. The graphical upgrade is just about right, enough to remember the original by but looking fresh and new.

Make you wonder if a campaign to ubisoft could prompt them to contact Feral Interactive to complete a remaster on SHIii for us

looks p bad ngl. same 3 decade old low poly models just with high texture resolution. what's the point of this? it looks like a cash grab to me. they recently trademarked total war medieval. a lot of people think it's gonna be be medieval 3, but the cynic in me says it's just another cash grab and they're gonna "remaster" medieval 2 by running all textures through an ai algorithm in photoshop and proceed to rake in the cash from gullible nostalgia goggles wearing drunks

The point?



What most people want from a remaster is that it runs on modern systems smoothly at resolutions up to 4K and ultra Wide support. That most of the things they know from the original is left untouched (for nostalgia reasons or well a remaster is not a remake) or least have them toggable between the Remaster version and the Original (Which Rome Remaster does).


This remaster isn't just a new coat of paint, they included a lot of things (which again can be turned off to what they where in the original) in the campaign settings. Other gameplay settings you can switch between Original and Remaster, new factions added, new agent on the campaign map to name a few things. Also it included both expansions and if you happen to have the original you get till June a 50% discount on the whole lot.



And seeying the current state of most modern Total War Games (Rome II, Attila, Brittania etc) , yeah I rather be the gullible nostalgic goggle wearing drunk. I like to be able to enjoy older games again with some improvements on a modern rigs because the original didn't run, runs unstable or not smooth or doesn't support higher resolutions.
