Creative Assembly veteran coder Richard Broadhurst on applying next-gen tech to Total War.
RB: As the technical director at The Creative Assembly, I have been programming – mostly in video games – since 1979. Recently I have been helping with the graphics optimisation work on Total War: Shogun 2. The following is an overview of a single day of development on the latest Total War title.
Total War: Shogun 2 has a completely new deferred renderer with DX11 support added and many rendering system changes. With all the new features, we were left to optimise the new systems for all of our existing customers using DX9.
Whether it's warfare or politics you want, the best Medieval strategy games offer some of the most advanced gameplay out there.
Sega is giving away free copies of Total War: Shogun 2 on Steam in an effort to encourage fans to stay home. Fans will need to claim their free copy before May 1.
Why do I even bother buying games anymore when they are given out free 9 years later.
Patience has never been more lucrative. No seriously I never played a Total War game I am happy to be allowed to try this for free.
You'd think they'd put a link to the steam page in the article, but strangely the only link I could find was to the metacritic page.
Total War: SHOGUN II will be free on Steam next week. The giveaway is being featured by SEGA, who are encouraging people to stay at home
