@@vincentmalasawmkimajongte7489 They both are good because both respect their own ambience in their respective games. Shogun 2 trailer was like watching a japanese ceremony while in battle, just to end like any other battle in the world: a slaughter. What a wonderful video.
Shogun 2 was amazing. I only moved on because the future games feature far more diplomacy options that this game sorely needs. Shogun 3 needs to happen.
shogun 2 was extremely shallow compared to the game that started it all. every single providence had its own map. daylight was measured and when it came time to fight last faction the battle you would fight for literally DAYS(10-15 matches) as your massive armies ground each other down. most of the time at a chokepoint. at least if you were smart. im talking about shogun total war.
Hopefully Shogun 3 will have an avatar conquest campaign where you make your own clan but this time you can use it in single player and start where you want to your province to be.
If Shogun 3 has to happen, the engine must be totally improved. Otherwise when it comes to battle, the unit will just attack each other like Rome1 style which is horrible.
What a modern way of thinking. Death in battle is glorious! Not Modern Battle of course. I could be easily killed by a child from a kilometer away with modern warfare. It went from being something honorable, and a test of skill, to something that literally anybody could partake in. So sad.
@The One who Doubts the Plan wow you are so very knowledgeable like you were there back then and saw these things with your own eyes very curious how that's possible thank you for the blog post
The general is Takeda Shingen, whose only son died after him. The red samural could have been his brother, Takeda Nobushige, who died in the fourth battle of Kawanakajima against Uesugi clan. This is more fitting since Uesugi were specialised in warrior monks.
The flags on the castle is too small and blurry, how can you so sure it is Oda or Ikko Ikki? And the place that is stabbed by Shingen's knife is North Shinanno (North East of Takeda), where Takada and Uesagi alway fighting over it. Ikko Ikki is more far to the west, near the central provines, Oda at the south of Ikko Ikki and west of Takeda and Tokugawa is South of Takeda.
Just here for my weekly rewatch. I will never be unimpressed by Van Dyke's incredibly tonal, authentic-feeling, and intricately gorgeous soundtrack, or by the quality of the animation.
@@AuziFox I kinda like the older UI. These new look like a f*cking mobile game. Shogun 2 had unique gameplay and artstyle. Still best TW game released I think.
@@saiien2Don’t know why I said user interface. Meant control mechanics, using alt to move group of units in any direction etc. 100% agree the battlefield look of shogun 2 was one of if not the best
This cinematic is just beautiful. The red fighter is clearly the better one from the very beginning, from chopping through a glaive in two in one strike in 1:49, to parrying with sword strike his hilt while spinning in 2:00. He is fucking with the warrior monk from beginning to end. This match is not fair to begin with, and so is war, as he is shot down by dishonorable arrows from behind.
That glaive is called naginata and it have a blade that based on katana, naginata is commonly used by female samurai or Onna-musha and Japanese warrior monks or Sōhei, their martial art of naginata is known as Naginatajutsu and it's still used in present day One of the famous female samurai is Tomoe Gozen who lived in late Heian period of Japanese history, and there's also Nakano Takeko who lead Jōshitai or Girls' Army in 1868 to 1869 because Japan is in civil war and ended the feudal period of Tokugawa shogunate
But that 1vs1 figth was Made sometimes to evade a bloodbath, so when both forces were similar the loser of the duel will surrender, that's why the general got so mad and say "unforgivable" as that was a complete dishonorable act
I didn't think of that! I thought the Red Samurai just had enough honor in himself to allow the monk to unsheathe, but I fcompletely forgot about those tpye of techinques. It isn't always to kill with the draw of a blade, but is is a technique, so if that monk knew what he was doing, that Red Samurai would of probably been dead or heavily injured.
But also note how opened the red samurai was his sword wasn't close enough to his body to protect himself if the monk did drew his blade to strike as it looked as if the red samurai was gonna go for a stab.
They Call Me The Anti-Troll that's debatable- a naginata is probably at an advantage due to it's reach- one well aimed wide swing that can make it through his defense would secure victory. Honestly, I'm surprised to see a naginata in a full-scale battle at all- they were considered dishonorable due to the length, and mostly became a woman's weapon.
Yes they were a women's weapon but I think the commander should have brought a nodachi or a yari instead of a normal katana (or an ō katana) since they were not main battlefield weapons.
Most of the Samurai had been trained in 1v1 combat since their childhood, so the monk didn’t stand much of a chance. Bows, however, are a whole another thing :v
still by far the best total war game to date. They evolved everything with this game both in campaign and especially the multiplayer. After this they began the hardcore sellout mode and cut everything from the future total war games starting with rome 2.
My biggest question is how on earth did the Warrior monk die? He's wearing full armor, contrary to popular misconceptions from movies...YOU CAN'T CUT THROUGH ARMOR, with any sword. A sword, especially a katana which is relatively specialized for cutting, is not a good weapon for that but if you were going to do it you would aim for face, neck, armpits, behind the legs etc. You wouldn't be trying to cut like in an unarmored fight because unless you hit exposed skin it would do less than nothing. My only guess is that the red samurai hit the monk underneath the curiass where it connects to the thigh armor around the sash area. That being said though, good choreography tho.
The armor plates themselves aren't very thick and they're segmented and stitched onto an underlay of leather with thread and small colored cloth/dyed leather strips, they're not whole metal armor pieces like European-style armor. A well placed thrust to a gap, like you suggested, or an arrow between segments can push it's way through armor pieces with sufficient force and angle. It was uncharacteristic and considered dishonorable to attack someone from behind, unless your opponent is aware of you being there. Much of the armor of that period was designed with status and adornment in-mind, so armor covering the neck and nape is minimal and highly stylized.
@@Whazzupie along side that, the samurai were trained to be skilled the katana in cutting at spots where the armor is weak or openings as they also use body movement to help with the slash.
basically in an one-on-one fight a losing general causes the reduction of morale to his army while the winning general improves the morale of his army. Nevertheless, if one general choose not to get involved into a duel with an enemy general who is asking, his army will most likely lose morale as well because they will consider their general as a coward. well, after all, just some ancient warfare traditions, hope that help.
+Haywire Dednicat It's like a battle of strength. Both leaders will make one of their best warriors to fight in a battle. If the attacker's best soldier wins, the battle for the castle will continue but if the defenders win then the attacker will be forced to retreat since if one of them can kill his best soldier. Why risk to sent your army to fight when the defender have more or less skilled warriors than you?

@@DS-zn7yk Don't underestimate the Ikko Sect's in this period. Their strongholds were strategic as fuck. They were'nt even a formal "clan", but a religious movement, and yet they held their own against official militant clans.
Polearms are the primary weapons ingame, yari ashigaru and naginata samurai make up the majority of armies in the game unless you are Date or Shimazu. Katana samurai are frontline troops here probably because they are better on the offense.
Historically Samurai preferred the yari as their primary weapon, but they always carried a katana for use if they were disarmed or if they were fighting in confined quarters like a forest where swinging the spear around would be awkward.
If you mean 'uncool' as in, by the looks of it, the castle garrison and their lord disregarding what we can only assume to be a duel over who keeps said castle, and then going back on whatever word they gave by shooting the victorious samurai in the back, then yes, I will agree that was about as 'uncool' as you can get.
Well to be fair I’d do it too. You won’t just sit there and let them take your castle when you have the castle in your advantage 😂 so if a battle did break out they could have a good chance st winning
However they turned back towards their old ways in WW2, and that's actually what caused a large amount of the problems (such as their belief in fighting to the last man, woman, and child, leading to some incredibly bloody battles)
Daimyo: Ah, there it is, ripe for the taking. Soldier: It looks difficult, there's no way we could possibly breach the walls of this castle. Daimyo: Are you questioning my methods?! Soldier: No, tono. Daimyo: Good. Let the siege commence.
its funny because in the game if you couldnt burn the gates down during a siege you most likely send your men rock climbing the walls without a ladder 😂😂
@@ecayeta It was difficult even historically, because if your men did manage to make it into an enemy stronghold, they would have to navigate their way through a labyrinth of outer walls and paths just to reach the tenshu (main keep). Japanese castles were cleverly designed to deceive and confuse the enemy. The clan leaders who had firearms and gunpowder (such as Oda Nobunaga) probably had a far better chance of breaching fortifications as they could just chip away at the walls with cannon fire til an opening was available to break through or just blow down the main gates. Either would have probably been done but the latter seems the most likely and easiest to do.
@@ecayeta You're most likely to rack up the wins by playing as the Oda clan, they get a bad rap but were probably the mightiest of all the power families of Feudal Japan until their untimely demise at Honno-Ji.
@@sethguest781 Yeah, after playing the Fall of the Samurai DLC I can conclude that gunpowder and artillery make sieges so much easier. Just a few cannons on your side and you can blow away the gates, walls, and defenders at the same time before your men even reach the walls
The Zone no, this isn't age of empires. The Japanese would need to be fighting war elephant s and Viking warriors backed up by crossbowmen for it to be AoE.
Thats just a artistic license they took, but yeah, he could've had hit the monk on the head or in the neck, but they wanted him to talk or have his face cleaned from injuries, or something like that... Anyway, thats a bit overused thing in movies and games, were armor doesnt exist appearantly
Late comment, It is not plate armor, just a few iron plates sewed together to resemble armor so naturally it has gaps. Also, people with good sword skill is known to cut through an iron helmet in half in a single strike "Toshishiro Obata holds the record for Kabuto Wari (兜割), or helmet cutting, for his cut on a steel Kabuto (兜; helmet)" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tameshigiri
One man gave several or more men Lands, great armies, and great power, and said go forth and do my bidding. The sengoku jidai was bound to happen, THE RAIN OF THE OLD SHOGUNATE, IS OVVVERRR!
I always wanted to know what the ikko iki soldier says before he dies, because to a Brazilian it sounds like "I SHAT MYSELF": Mi kagueish = Me caguei".
For all who wondered what does the monk say: It's a 5-7-5 japanese verse.

Long Wang taiwan was under Japan since 1985~1945,because of First Sino-Japanese War,I am a Taiwanese ,sorry for my bad English
In ww2, why they didn't wore their samurai armor?..
SHOCKSREAMGUS 101 sorry but I wanted to get revenge :)
2:17 - 死の俳句 : 旅をまで、もみじがすまれ、いかけ石。
Daimyo: Ah, there it is, ripe for the taking.
Soldier: It looks difficult, there's no way we could possibly breach the walls of this castle.
Daimyo: Are you questioning my methods?!
Soldier: No, tono.
Daimyo: Good. Let the siege commence.
its funny because in the game if you couldnt burn the gates down during a siege you most likely send your men rock climbing the walls without a ladder 😂😂
@@ecayeta It was difficult even historically, because if your men did manage to make it into an enemy stronghold, they would have to navigate their way through a labyrinth of outer walls and paths just to reach the tenshu (main keep). Japanese castles were cleverly designed to deceive and confuse the enemy. The clan leaders who had firearms and gunpowder (such as Oda Nobunaga) probably had a far better chance of breaching fortifications as they could just chip away at the walls with cannon fire til an opening was available to break through or just blow down the main gates. Either would have probably been done but the latter seems the most likely and easiest to do.
@@ecayeta You're most likely to rack up the wins by playing as the Oda clan, they get a bad rap but were probably the mightiest of all the power families of Feudal Japan until their untimely demise at Honno-Ji.
@@sethguest781 Yeah, after playing the Fall of the Samurai DLC I can conclude that gunpowder and artillery make sieges so much easier. Just a few cannons on your side and you can blow away the gates, walls, and defenders at the same time before your men even reach the walls
Ghost of Tsushima vibes. Maybe CA and Suckerpunch can get together and make their own 'Mount and Blade' type game set in Japan.
One day we'll have these graphics
We have them,check out kingdom come deliverance
Vedad Traljo in total war dude
I see these graphics in shogun 2. You just need to max out the settings and pick a map with the right lighting.
What? Those graphics are from 2009, we have graphics like that in gameplay
*Ghost of Tsushima strolls on in*
Near 2020 still the best total war game
best trailer and best game at the same time ? hell yes
shooting a man at the back? SHAMFUR DISPURAY
That's interesting thing that you train something like 25 years to become a warrior and die in 31 second in duel
So that's how genji died
Sounds like the narrator in overwatch in Genji's and Hanzo's story
Also the guy with the mask has a nice mustache
No. Unlike this one, the narrator for the Blizzard cinematic "Dragons" is the same voice actor of Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat.
Name's Shingen Takeda.
1:01
my age of empires 2 japanese senses are tingeling
The Zone no, this isn't age of empires. The Japanese would need to be fighting war elephant s and Viking warriors backed up by crossbowmen for it to be AoE.
Still a belter of an intro.
Awesome trailer!
But how did the Samurai even cut through the Monk Warrior's plate armor ?
Thats just a artistic license they took, but yeah, he could've had hit the monk on the head or in the neck, but they wanted him to talk or have his face cleaned from injuries, or something like that... Anyway, thats a bit overused thing in movies and games, were armor doesnt exist appearantly
Late comment,
It is not plate armor, just a few iron plates sewed together to resemble armor so naturally it has gaps. Also, people with good sword skill is known to cut through an iron helmet in half in a single strike
"Toshishiro Obata holds the record for Kabuto Wari (兜割), or helmet cutting, for his cut on a steel Kabuto (兜; helmet)"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tameshigiri
the swan song of once great franchise
it should be oda nobunage instead of Shingen leading an assault against a buddhist stronghold, but I guess the Tekeda red does look pretty damn good.
"Lady Mariko will leave now!"
Such precision in their moves

This trailer need an 4k ai upscale so hard
Takeda Shin Gen VS Uesugi Ken Shin
Legendary rivalry
Should Make this movie
beauty... and harmony
governed by one eternal law

My mans so badass he busted out a haiku as he was dying
This game seriously needs a remaster with modern total war controls
Wait a minute you animated for total war... SO COOL
Archers really don't give, revenge just been made.
Just wondering... why is that "general" samurai holding that fan? Im not too educated about samurai.
To give signals, just like a flag.
Foc4ccin4 Alright, thanks.
MrEtmer
That fan is a symbol of power to his seat, also a way to communicate formation attacks.
It's a Fan o' War, makes enemies take minicrits, but deal 90% less damage, and 20% less attack speed
its called a gunbai
2:39 Yare Yare Daze
2:43 Nani ? Masaka ?
2:45 KISAMADA?!!!!
Anime, Hollywood need short but decisive sword fight like this instead of 10 min fight with cable and mountain cutting skills.
One man gave several or more men Lands, great armies, and great power, and said go forth and do my bidding.
The sengoku jidai was bound to happen, THE RAIN OF THE OLD SHOGUNATE, IS OVVVERRR!
*reign not "rain"
Shamefur dispray!!!
Commit sudoku!!!
Hai Nguyen nope
I always wanted to know what the ikko iki soldier says before he dies, because to a Brazilian it sounds like "I SHAT MYSELF": Mi kagueish = Me caguei".
I was watching one guy rush to the castle at the end and he died :(
ABSOLUTLY AMAZING
The duel was sooo godamn good..
