Future Total War Title TBA This Year, but in Another Expo

I just read an article today that The Creative Assembly will announce the new Total War game at a video game expo that's not E3. There will be a sneak peek of the new Total War title at a PC/Indie game show called Rezzed , sponsered by Eurogamer.net. I know, I'm pretty disappointed that there's a 99% chance of not seeing what the new Total War game is at E3, but I'm happy that the possibility of Total War: Rome 2 being announced this year is coming. They may show something new like World War II Total War, which is something I personally don't want, but we'll see at Rezzed. 
 
EDIT: BTW, REZZED starts on July 6th if you all wanted to know when it starts. ALso I realized that this should be in the Total War Forums, so I'll start a topic under those forums.

I thought the title was implying that there would be a futuristic Total War game. That is a game I would like to see.

I do wonder where they go now and what they can add thats new. I would hope they add a little more strategy to the campaign map and I hope it something new and not another redo of their old games.

As long as its Rome 2 they can't fail in my book.

Rezzed is Eurogamer and Rock Paper Shotgun btw.

@ShaneDev: I would actually like to see this, Greece: Total War. This isn't really like Rome where the Greeks are represented as the Greek Cities, but have each city state be a different faction. Like you can play as the Spartans and have them battle against the Persian forces in the Battle of Thermopylae. It can even go from ancient Greece's beginnings to Alexander's empire (Yes I know they did that with Rome Total War Alexander, but they can improve from that with this). 

Oooh. I was thinking of going to Rezzed. I knew they'd be there. Brighton Centre.

If this is turns out to be Rome 2..... I might need to buy a new computer......

Me too. I'd really like to see what that would be like.

And people talk about Square Enix milking the Final Fantasy franchise.

I'm a Total War fan but I gotta say the last two major releases (Empire and Shogun2), I haven't been too interested in. I played both and was like meh. Neither grabbed me like MTW2 or Rome TW.  
 
Kinda wishing they would scrap most of their design and refresh the game mechanics a little bit, it's becoming more of the same.

@Winternet: Did you just honestly compare CA to Activision? That's the dumbest thing I've read today.

On topic, I hope we get Rome 2 as well. Although, I'd be happy with a different setting.

And people talk about Activision milking the Call Of Duty franchise.

@Jace: One is a developer and another is a developer. So, yeah, kinda.

@Winternet said:

@Jace: One is a developer and another is a publisher. So, no, I didn't compare them.

At least you're aware you made an incoherent reference.

@Jace: what? no. The point was "they sure do a lot of them Total War games".

@Winternet: No, your post seems to imply that you think CA is "milking" the Total War series in the same way that the CoD franchise is being milked.

This is obviously a false comparison for a slew of reasons. The main one being that Total War hasn't used the same engine for 7 games, and thus actually changes and evolves over time.

@Jace: They slap the Total War name for the same reason they slap the Final Fantasy name.

Edit: but hey, you don't like it being COD. No problemo, I can change it.

Edit2: Done.

They either re-release a game, or they move it along, in which case it won't be Total War. But I'd rather see WWI Total War than Rome v2.0 Total War with shiny graphics. But then again, i might loose my shit when i actually see it...so we'll see.

.... You still don't get it. Never mind, I don't care. People make stupid claims on the internet all the time. You win.

@Turambar: Firaxis doesn't release a proper new CIV game every year like Total War is now. Before they were doing alright, but these last 3/4 years they've been releasing one every year. It gets to a point that is too much. Hey, that's my opinion.

@Jace: yay I win! * excitement*

Well, the reason that wouldn't really work is that modern combat is very small squad based, while Total War has always dependent on large unit formation based battles.

What if they go so far in the future guns are useless, so swords and other things are the only thing you can kill someone with. And armies are huge again. And instead of horses, cavalry ride tanks! No, space horses! No, genetically engineered sea horses that can live on land! No. I don't know help me out here.

@Winternet: How ON EARTH can you say CA is milking a franchise that goes through major technical and conceptual changes at least every other release?

@Turambar: I'm sorry, maybe the internet is giving me false data, but Empire: Total War released on Mar. 4th, 2009 ; Napolean: Total War released on Feb. 23, 2010 ; Total War: Shogun 2 released on Mar. 26, 2011.

I wanna do the same, but it'd cost like 3 times the price of the the ticket to get in to actually travel to Brighton.

So basically Mythology: Total War. I would be okay with this.

I guess I was thinking something more along the lines of Star Wars: Total War, to break my idea down to its core, only without the laser guns and the force, but that would be totally cool too.

Something a little goofy as a change of pace, but still totally (I see it, and I'm keeping it) kick ass.

Actually, now that I think about it, considering how fights end up working out in Dynasty Warriors Gundam (giant waves and masses of mass production units), Gundam: Total War, would be thematically fitting. Oh god, I just ruined all future Total War games for myself.

Holy shit! Giant armies made up of giant robots fighting with swords! YES!!!!!!!!!!! Cavalry would ride on giant robot horses and they could fight in space! I like this.

@Turambar: You can dress it however you want. They released 3 full retail games in 3 years. I find it a tad too much. That's it. But, hey, you guys are happy with that and you're the ones buying them so they must be doing something right.

@Turambar: All right now whatever they do I'm gonna be really disappointed.

Anyone want to do a mini GB meetup at Rezzed?

I am lucky enough to live there and or near there.
