Me tomorrow morning:
I've played like 10+ of Shogun 2 in the past 3 days. I'm ready.

Hm, that blows. PC demos seem to become a rare breed anyway.

Goddamn, these videos of DiplexHeated just killed my hype. The AI seems atrocious and the battles are way too short. What the hell?!
Positive points are the graphics that looked gorgeous of course and the sound, you can hear the screams, the clash of swords and ambient music is nice too, gets you pumped up for the battle.
But man the gameplay. I don't even peek over the TWcenter forums, must be hell over there!

Really?
The pre-launch Shogun 2 demo ran like shit on my computer, yet the full game ran fine.
I still don't know what was up with that.
There's still that first day patch to come and reviewer copies aren't the latest (very close) build. Still, i have doubts that the AI can be fixed at this point, modders gonna have to do their thing. The battle speed needs to be reduced also it seems, maybe give units more morale too.

Yup, they seem to run away way too fast.
It's nice that the game will be moddable but it's a shame constantly having to rely on mods for better AI, surely the creators of the game should be doing better than a random dude...
Yeah heard about it on their podcast. Excited as hell after watching them all day!
Sadly I think I could have gotten my fill of the game by just watching them play heh.
He has retired from modding to work on his own game.
I'm going straight for the campaign. Fuck the prologue. I need the proper experience D:
Waiting is killing me, but at least this guy is good at showing some awesome stuff:

Any options to make the text larger in this one? Tried to get into Shogun 2 over the summer and the text is microscopic, found a large text mod on the workshop which is nice but sometimes the text doesn't fit in the window.
Tempted to pick this up but probably should at least learn a little bit Shogun 2 first, I've never been very good at RTS.
edit: Looking at the video above (which is 720p, but still), text does look a bit larger, hmm.

My monitor is 1600x900. Also hoping a driver update to increase performance.
It's really a blessing to have a non 1080p monitor at times (also sporting a 1680x1050), it makes my hardware last longer!
It's actually rather tame this time around, people over there are getting fed up with all the armchair history buffs complaining about the Roman sandals being off.
Concensus seems to be that it is looking like just a typical Total War release with the usual issues.

Now I see why they're allowing modding so early on in this one. It's to hopefully fix the A.I. as usual!
Better A.I. seems to be a bulletpoint in every TW game yet it always manages to disappoint people with it's one step forward, a few steps back tendencies.
It wouldn't be TW without a bug-filled launch while people play the guessing game as to when the first major patch comes to fix the big problems.

The thread about the removal of incendiary pigs had me in tears but it will erupt more later when people get hands on and notice the more issues or things they don't like.
Yes it does. But only with one other player.
Erf still that limitation ? I really don't get how hard it could be for them to allow more players... yeah it's turn based so people might have to wait, but we really should be able to make that choice.
Woah really?
Reading up on it, sucks that he got burned by CA but what can you do.
I wish him luck on his new game.
All he really did was put mods together, but that was still very useful for people like you and me.
Yeah reading the TWC thread on the Modder's Summit he seems to overreact and take it way too personally.
Yup, I think we are pretty safe and will enjoy some pretty gameplay as well, especially come all the patches and drivers.

One thing I do hate is when developers put baked in "Press ******** to go back" icons on their screen when you go into a cinematic camera or what have you. I think everyone knows to hit escape or press the same button you pushed in the first place to get to it.

I took these from one of DiplexHeatedHD videos; his advice is not to turn "unlimited memory" on because it will hurt performance.

His specs put my concerns to rest; his game looks and runs fine! Even though my VC is a GTX650 but my rig is fine.
I hope it helps someone else out there to have an idea of what to expect.

He's playing at 1280x720 with a 680. Of course he's going to get good performance. It's really not an indication of anything.

PS4's CPU would be the bottleneck here. It would struggle quiet a bit I think (as would any large scale AI strategy game like CIV).
Doubt you'll see games like this on any console anytime soon.

This leaves me a little concerned. The AA is just shown as "on", rather than the 2/4/8x options from Shogun 2. Does the game only use 2x MSAA or FXAA?
