also, if you've got a war going on for a thousand years, surely a billion people dying isn't really all that... hell about 6 billion people will die on earth in the next hundred just from natural causes...

(sorry for being pedantic, but on that sort of scale, what does 'lives lost' really mean?)

"Billions" Biggles, she said "Billions".

Also..."The Way..." give me a break, couldnt they think of a more original name for something like that.

That was.. the game should be ace, so I don't mind, but that was Stargate, then the start of Serenity, then the start of the new Battlestar Galactica, then it went a bit.. Star Wars, E.T, and the green guys from PlanetSide. And then Transformers.

All inside the TA intro.

Amazing.

A time of peace and prosperity, human machine hybrids, dark forces, thousand year wars. blah blah blah.

Who writes this crap, and why must the same writer be employed for so many games?

The Serafim introduced the settlers to something called... 'The Way'

Cue Fastball playing in the background:

Anyone could see
The road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray...

I love that the humans are the evil race this time. Looks splendid. I'm interested in how it plays out.

"And then this happened, and then this happened, and then this happened."
You have to wonder why they even bother with a story, I mean, setting at all...

Still looking forward to this game, though.

@ ApeTheDog

+1

I too thought that it was a cool concept to make us the evil invaiding monsters.

Well I don't know if making mankind the evil ones is so original - even Disney does that for christs sake!

yeah the writing seems like crap - I wonder if the gaming publishers has three or four writers locked away in a pit, forced to write stories 24/7 - that would explain it I suppose

However, the game seems brilliant, When we´re talking "TA 2" I don't give a shit about the story, I want TOTAL WAR - and that seems to be fullfilled

Even the way the Commander D-Guns the camera at the end is the same.

Umm, nostalgia.

Why not a game about peace and prosperity imposed by lust-filled gorgeous aliens/clones/drones/rebelhumans from Whatever planet/spacecolony/warptunnel/otherdimension ?

"Earth beings, you will make love, not war!"

"No, pliiiiz, we want war!!! We'll never stand peace!"

"No Way!" (see? the way fits in!)

To be honest the Lost Planet trailer I was forced to see before this looked much better. Will of course have to buy it anyway.
