“Following KOEI’s successful launch of Warriors Orochi for Windows-based PC earlier this year, the response to bringing more of KOEI’s popular franchises to the platform has been overwhelming,” said Amos Ip, Senior Vice President at KOEI Corporation. “For PC releases, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series has always been at the top of our fans’ wish lists. We are looking forward to bringing Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI to Windows-based PC this summer.”

Das Spiel erschien bereits ab 2006 auf diversen Konsole, die Seite dazu: http://www.koei.com/rtkxi/

Finde ich sehr erfreulich wenn sich Koei dem PC zuwendet. Ist zwar schon einige Jahre her dass ich auf dem SNES das Vergnügen hatte :D aber schlechter sind die Jungs in der Zwischenzeit vermutlich nicht geworden.

Ich bin erfreut zu hören,dass KOEI auch mal wieder an die PC-User denkt,vor allem im ausserasiatischen Raum,denn dort haben sie bereits einige Teile der Serie auf chinesisch und japanisch published.Ich werde mal sehen,ob es auch hier in München zu bekommen sein wird...:D

herzliche grüsse


Hohenlohe,der bereits Teil3 von RT3K gespielt hat...*freu*

Das sind in der Tat großartige Neuigkeiten :). Wisst ihr welche Version da genau erscheint? Ich glaube mich erinnern zu können gelesen zu haben dass es für eine der RottK-11-PC Versionen, entweder die chinesische oder die japanische auch ein Expansionset gab. Wäre schade wenn das dann nicht dabei wäre (wie es z.B. leider mit 7.62 zur Zeit der Fall zu sein scheint :( ).

dass KOEI auch mal wieder an die PC-User denkt
'Wieder', allerdings.
Hach, da werden Erinnerungen wach an glorreiche Schlachten Anfang der 90er... :D

Vielleicht als nächstes 'Uncharted Waters'? :eek:
Hmmm, *träum*...

Ach die Welt ist doch sooo klein :D


Boron, mehr weiss ich auch nicht. Ich kann höchstens noch die komplette Pressemitteilung posten, aus der ich allerdings auch nicht erschliessen kann ob das Addon nun bereits enthalten ist oder nicht. Ich denke eigentlich schon, wäre ansonsten unsinnig uns 2 Jahre später noch etwas vorzuenthalten.

About ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS XI
From legendary video game producer Kou Shibusawa comes his next historical simulation masterpiece. Rediscover an ancient civilization with an explosive history in the most stunning edition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Set during the end of China’s Han Dynasty and the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D., RTK XI presents the most visually captivating evolution in the history of the series. Blurring the line between video games and art, RTK XI features visuals evocative of classical Chinese ink-paintings along with debates and duels rendered in real-time 3D animation.

As the ruler of a kingdom, each player will have complete control over their territories. More than 40 base commands give players the power to govern cities, manage their personnel, practice diplomacy and much more. Complete freedom to develop markets, shipyards, outposts, forts and military units expand on the already substantial benchmarks established by previous editions of the series. Furthermore, players will watch the era come to life through the uniquely individual personalities of the more than 780 officers and supporting characters they will encounter.

Players will need to dig deep within to prove themselves adept at both the military and political arts in order to bring China under one rule. Domestic affairs, diplomacy and warfare are all conducted on a single vast 3D relief map, dramatically bringing to life the eight massive scenarios that lie before them.

For improved control over each military campaign, RTK XI’s turn-based game play allows the player to plan their movements without undue time constraints, and then execute their battle tactics when ready. RTK XI also introduces an entirely new system for researching military techniques, as well as an Advanced Tactics System that allows players to drive or lure enemies into devastating ambushes. Skilled players will be able to link together tactics for maximum damage.

Produced by Kou Shibusawa and developed by KOEI Co., Ltd, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI is rated “RP” (Rating Pending) by the ESRB. The suggested retail price is US$19.99. Media can find assets at gamespress.com.

... aber schlechter sind die Jungs in der Zwischenzeit vermutlich nicht geworden.

Die Aussage muss ich wohl zurücknehmen, nachdem ich mal die Wertungen für Teil XI überprüft hatte :(

Aber noch hoffe ich mal darauf dass es für die Konsoleros einfach nur zu "komplex" war ;)

[Jounk35]

Heho,
Bin seit 1996 (Romance IV) Romance Fan und bin über diese Nachricht hoch erfreut, denn Konsolen habe ich seit 1999 nicht mehr angerührt.

Vielleicht interessiert das ja den einen oder anderen Total War / Romance Fan ... es gibt die Demo zu einem Spiel namens Sango 2, das ebenfalls in der Epoche angesiedelt ist.
