Well if they make game on consoles, it won't be traditional Total War game, that's for sure :D I'm still to try Shogun 2, which looks amazing by the way, and I need new PC for it, but I would kill for Rome 2.. Come on CA, bring it next!

emk20045461d ago

i agree, might be another hack and slash like the other one they made.

evrfighter5461d ago

If they made a game like mount and blade I'm sure it'd be successful.

Mount and blade may not be a looker, but It's one of the most memorable games I've played in awhile.

Kahvipannu5461d ago (Edited 5461d ago )

Mount & Blade is Paradox game, right? I have been playing theyr games a lot lately, EU: Rome, Crusaders, Elven, but not yet M & B. After seeing all the great mods for it, I'm definitely going to check it out.

Played the beta tought, but it have propably changed a lot from it. Was excellent even then.

kevnb5461d ago

all their console games suck so far, they should just stick to pc.

Elven65461d ago

Spartan: Total Warrior was pretty fun, it reviewed well too from what I remember. Heard Viking: Battle for Asgard was ok, Stormrise was of course terrible, and releasing it the same week as Halo Wars probably didn't help SEGA much either.

TheIneffableBob5461d ago

Their previous venture to consoles went terribly. Stormrise was just all bad.

Muff1nB4k3r5460d ago

From what I'm aware, Stormrise was from their Australian studio and the best game they ever made was Medieval 2 Total war, the UK studio however has done everything else well, except maybe Napoleon perhaps

I still own those systems, and many games that were built for them.
Thank you for an amazing part of my childhood.
Rest in Peace Legend.

Agent7511d ago

He joined SEGA in 1971, wow. The Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast hold the best memories for me, more so the Mega Drive. Thanks for the memories, Hideki-sama.

Sega's swan song, their best and most memorable console, the dreamcast. it will last for generations

ZycoFox11d ago

Dreamcast was a very good console, with some minor setbacks, no 2nd stick and could've used a bit more disc space. The main thing that let it down was support, the short time it was on the market it did still bring in a bunch of really good titles, if only it had another 2-3 years and more longer story based games as well as the arcade games.

I would say because of the above the Mega Drive / Genesis is probably their best, simply because of the wide range of support and amount of quality games.

Profchaos10d ago

Yeah also massive mega drive fan it's my favourite to

Loktai10d ago

there was a point in time where the DC was meant to have a MATROX gpu possibly, as well as other contenders and if it had along with a possible DVD drive and price hike it would be a totally different beast.

RaiderNation10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Yeah, I loved the Dreamcast, but massive oversight not including a right analog stick. A very strange design decision considering that dual analog was already standardized by Sony during the PS1 generation. Virtual On was literally unplayable on the controller because of it.

1nsomniac10d ago

^ I had Virtua On and loved it.. what made it unplayable?

shinXseijuro10d ago

I was 8 years old when Dreamcast came out I don’t know for other people but it was the coolest thing to me when I could go play it at my older siblings . I finally bought my own Dreamcast around 2005 , when I was in high school and was old enough to save money . Had a blast with jet set radio , sonic adventures 1&2 , shuffle , code Veronica , Power stone 1&2 , crazy taxi . House of the dead Arcade style shooter. . I even had the reindeer bot CD for burnt games . Oh and I remember lending a friend a copy of SF alpha 3 Dreamcast with the box …. Dude never gave it back to me 🤣

Shenmue blew me away, and took me to a place i had never been before (until years later)

Agent755d ago

Shenmue was unreal back in the day. It was painful waiting for the sequel and it perfectly carried on from the first game. Shenmue 3 on the PS4 looks like a Dreamcast game and carried on as if it was running on the Dreamcast. A Shenmue trilogy is overdue. Not sure if we’ll ever see Shenmue 4, but SEGA went with Yakuza, a Shenmue clone, which is probably why Shenmue was forgotten. If Shenmue had been ported to the PS2 after the Dreamcast dropped off, things may have been different.

Relientk7711d ago

I love my Sega Genesis. I have childhood memories playing that console which will never fade.

Agent755d ago

It was the best console for sport games by a long shot. Having a UK Mega Drive in 1991, playing US and Japanese games using a Honeybee adaptor was awesome. I think Europe only got around 250 games out of around 800 that got released.
