Total War: Warhammer is coming

[Syt]

Am I the only one who hates that these days you can hardly read any coverage anymore - everybody is just making a fucking video?

Depends. For gameplay impressions/reviews I find videos actually better these days, and a reviewer can cover more ground in a 10 or 15 minute video than a 2,000 word article.

I dunno, these two spent about 20 minutes getting excited about close combat animations that will go largely unscrutinized, and "kinetic frontlines", whatever that is supposed to mean. With less than 30 seconds they got to army painting DLC, although the statements were far vaguer and less concrete than how UTTERLY AWESOME it is to watch demigryph knights charge in from above with their spears.

Found it odd he didn't at least ask about Chaos; suppose he was already briefed on his talking points.

I think videos do a better job providing coverage of a visual medium like video games.

They do, yeah, but sometimes a written article can get a little more in depth about things than a relatively short video review.  I think it's IGN that has both for a lot of games, which is nice.

I agree that it is horrible. I don't want to watch a fucking video.

Goat Simulator?

I didn't get the game, even when it was on sale.

The campaign map, which they're not showing today, will be something completely new to Warhammer, set in the Old World in a non-specific timeline. Writer / loremaster Andy Hall explains that, though turns pass, no real time does. There isn't even weather. It's like living in a perfect instant of Warhammer. "There aren't seasons in the Warhammer world anyway. One day it's raining teeth... the next, the sun's under the sea." 

They need to rein this hack in. No seasons in Warhammer? Leaves Orion holding the bag as he waits for a spring that will never come to be reborn, to be sure.

It baffles me that they didn't call it Total War:hammer.

The main reason I pretty much gave up Warhammer stuff was the fact that they keep changing the fluff. Takes me a couple of years to paint an army, I can't keep up.

Still no gameplay.

 This seems to be the exact scene we've had a dozen articles describe, and what the journalists were showed. They sure are keeping this on the rails.

This seems to point towards the rumours about the changes in the warhammer world being true- they've essentially moved the timeline forward 200 years and in the process utterly destroyed the world, with remaining living beings existing on floating spheres in the aether that occasionally bump into each other (thus giving logic to why the lizardmen would be fighting the vampire counts)
