Empire:Total War remastered?

[Mc_Petk]

What do you guys think? Would't be great to get a more modern gamplay, kinda bored from fantasy Warhammer.

[CIERVO VELOZ]

Yes....I long for it....

Not until there is a new engine. Napoleon, Shogun 2, Rome II and Attila are basically total conversions of Empire. Warhammer brought x64 with it but the engine is largely still the same. Remaking Empire now would be shooting the same film with the same cast, crew and equipment but with a bigger budget. Like, what is the point? It would be better if they simply added cool new stuff to Empire, like co-op, but remastering the game is a bad practice and I can't imagine Creative Assembly pulling it off the right way. 'Remastered editions', 'Anniversaries' etc. almost never live up to the originals, especially when supervised by big greedy publisher companies like Sega.

No. Empire 2 is essentially Napoleon, first of all. And the next full historical release will be in an era 'never before explored by the series' and many people are theorizing the Victorian Era after the success of Fall of the Samurai. So wait. Empire & Napoleon are my favorite Total Wars and I share the desire for another modern installment but no need to remaster an old one (although Empire 2 would be pretty great).

[Foulcher]

Empire deserves it because even if I am not fond of the game due to terrific mechanics (like the mini-cities rushed by ridiculous mini-armies), copy-pasted units and miserable map partition, it was an attempt to create an ersatz of a grand strategy game and it was not that a bad start

In a way, it was the most ambitious TW since then

I'd love to see an Empire 2 with the map scale of something like Rome 2 or TW:W series.

Empire was flawed, yes, but the concept was solid. The map size just couldn't handle it, and the unit variety wasn't quite what you'd expect for how many factions and parts of the world were included.

Really, I hope they either do an Empire 2, or a TW:Victoria (which seems more plausible these days, since FotS and TW:W include rapid-fire weapons, etc.). I just want to see a more global TW historical entry again.

Technically they could even call it 'Total War: EMPIRE' because the original one is called 'Empire: Total War', not 'Total War: Empire'. Although they've already messed up Shogun 2 and Rome II in that regard.

P. S. Frankly I generally find Total War's naming... policy? lame since Shogun 2. Why is it called 'SHOGUN 2'? Someone forgot to turn off Caps Lock? Why is Rome II called 'ROME II - Emperor Edition' now? If you are trying to make the names look better by typing them with Caps Lock on then this ' - Emperor Edition' bit ruins everything. Marketing is cancer.

Empire 2 would be great assuming they dont mess it up agian

Lol yeah I hear you.

I think they went with "Emperor Edition" because of the huge fallout from Rome 2's release.

Trying desperately to rebrand it.

I'm hoping for a return to the age of muskets and cannons, it's been awhile. Empire 2 or Victoria Total War would be great.

[Severus]

Warhammer was a slap in the face to everyone that have bought total war products over the years

I'm betting on Baroque period for the next big historical title.

It would be similar to Empire in many ways, but there'd also be a lot of Late Middle Age stuff, such as mounted gendarmes and Hussaria, pikemen, and halberdiers.

The cannon would be much more diverse than in ETW or NTW, with everything from massive culverins to medium sized falconets, down to small "leather guns."

I just want 4 way multiplayer campaign for Attila

I actually think Empire has aged well and still enjoy it. I just want any new historical titles, not this warhammer crap.

While I disagree that Empire aged all that well (technical issues depending on your OS, too big of a map with too little detail to vital places, even in Europe), I *will* say it aged a lot, lot better than Napoleon: Total War.

Empire was a child of its time... not at all bad, but not the sort of caliber game that compels me to play it even now. It was too ambitious, but forgivable... as opposed to R2, which was too ambitious and got every last thing wrong even beyond being too big in scope.

I feel like Empire is indeed better than a lot of players thought at the time... but despite that, I wouldn't say it aged that well. And further, I think the TW:Warhammer series is going to age quite well actually... in the future, when the price finally drops, imagine how much content those players will get.
