There's an emphasis on filling the later game with "less grind, more fun", and Massey mentioned the team has "tried to do an entire rebalancing of the factions and units", too.Īside from that, Smith highlighted the efforts made to add "quite a huge amount of uplift on the visuals".
There's been a fairly thorough pass on balance, too, by the sounds of things: players often found there was "a bit too much squalor" in the late game, according to Smith, so that's been tweaked to "improve the logic" there and give you better tools for controlling it. There are also modern tools coming though, like tactical maps in the 3D battles and heat maps in the campaign, and a whopping 16 newly playable factions on top of the original 22. The user experience in general has been improved, so you can view and sort proper lists of settlements by things like population growth, meaning less time spent "clicking around" finding things, and there's a new "agent hub and quick agent panel" so you don't have to go looking for individual diplomats or spies that are available. Shortcuts and commands have been updated, as there were "certain limitations" with the original. A lot of time has been spent making sure that it "feels like a modern game", as Smith put it, "so you can jump straight from Three Kingdoms into Rome Remastered." The big point they both stressed was that this is very much a "remaster, not a remake" - most of the changes or new things are experiential, above all. Rome: Total War is a proper classic for strategy fans, of course - Feral's managing director, David Stephen, referred to the process as "a bit like recutting the crown jewels", which sounds somewhat nervewracking, but we spoke to Tom Massey and Edwin Smith, the team's head of production and head of design respectively, to get a bit more detail on what to expect from the remaster, and it sounds extensive.
TOTAL WAR ROME REMASTERED XBOX SERIES
I give this game a nearly perfect 9/10.Watch on YouTube Total War: Rome Remastered announce trailerįeral Interactive has plenty of history with Total War, taking on the mobile ports of the original Rome as well as handling the Mac and Linux versions of the many others in the series for some time now. Rome still surpasses it's sequel, especially now, and if you deal with some jank, it is a game on tiers with Ocarina of Time in charm and quality. Overall this is the best way to play Rome 1.
Now that 31 factions are possible in the engine, as well as more regions, you can expect an experience like no other when it releases.
TOTAL WAR ROME REMASTERED XBOX MOD
Roma Surrectum is a mod which extends the campaign map, adds factions, and overall improved the original experience. Currently there is work on a remaster for a famous mod, Roma Surrectum. You can expect to have the same enjoyment as the original, with some benefits. Sadly the battle ai is unimproved, which was the weakest part of the 2004 release. They added medieval2 merchants, overhauled every piece of art in the game, improved campaign ai, and increased modding potential. The amazing thing about the remaster is that it allows you to toggle back to the original settings if you wish. I will say that if you are expecting a remake, you will be disappointed.
What the remaster did was truly faithful to the original. You don't even have to take my word for it, it has a 92 on this site, 2 higher than Shogun2, the closest competitor. You don't even have to take my word for it, it has a 92 on this site, 2 higher than Shogun2, the closest Rome 1 was the best Total War game.
