The original game is one I've bought a few times since it came out. Iterations over the years due to the needs of the day of different Windows operating systems; All of which have their own saved game versions. A long-term game that may as well be a 'lifelong' game for me. Total War Rome Remastered(Rome Total War Remastered(wording - shakes fist)) like so many other newly remastered games seem to be setting a trend of respectful reworking a game to be 'modern' while also .... doing it well. I hope that trend lasts.
No reinvention of the wheel here, 'just' enhancing it with reinforcements and spikes..... The Remaster is definitely a 10/10 on how a remaster should be done. As for my old saves, it can read and load all post patch 1.3 saves including all Barbarian Invasion and Alexander expansion saves.
Old...
Remaster....
Seeing the remastered version in action has and continues to be great. I've already poured in a lot of time to it. It enhances the game to be 'modern' in all the best ways. In looks and game options. With the best option of all.... Turn off all the new options! Another game that caters to player needs. Options are a games and a gamers best friend.
Still I've found myself going back to old saves in the old game (Steam version) and staying there to play some more as well. I've not fully transitioned to remaster only yet! Maybe it's ongoing nostalgia. Maybe I 'just like' the older look of the original. The old game hasn't lost anything over the years. Even now with the remaster it's not really replaced the old game(for me, for now at least). Both have the playability for sure but the remaster makes it more palatable for 'newer' gamers to get into it; And old dogs like me get all the mod cons. Speaking of remasters and graphics; That's one thing that the Command and Conquer remaster did well. On the fly graphical switching between the old and new looks. The new graphics of Rome took a moment for me to get used to. Close to two decades of being used to seeing the old maps/empire's and game-play and my setup now in a modernized did take me a mo..... But well used to it now. Another version of the game to put hundreds of hours into...
