The latest trailer for Creative Assembly's upcoming strategy game Total War: Rome 2 shows off the game's in-engine cutscene prowress, and brings to mind the style and strength of Tyrannicon's Skyrim machinima. So while there's no actual gameplay (despite it being a "gameplay trailer"), you get a healthy look at the epic presentation, story, and voice acting.

I know many were hoping for an altogether new setting for the Total War series, but I have to say based on this video, I'm not displeased at all, as Creative Assembly seems to be gunning for about the strongest presentation possible. Should they succeed, I suspect most won't mind waiting another game or two for a new setting.
