Total War: Shogun 2 - Intro Cinematic

11 Feb 2011 at 20:17:16 by Peter Parrish

Creative Assembly's latest addition to its Total War series will be heading to players in mid-March, and here's the first cinematic they'll see in the game.

It features some pretty fancy CGI dueling between a couple of samurai warriors, and the kind of borderline-over-the-top voiceover we've come to expect from Total War (though my favourite is still Sean Pertwee talking about death in the intro to Medieval.)

How can you tell it's CGI? Well, because the armies are actually attacking properly during a siege instead of just flocking uselessly around in pathfinding confusion. Ho ho ho! Seriously though, we hope Creative Assembly have finally fixed this problem.
