Rumour Mill: Rome:Total War 2, about to invade?

Kris Graft, one of the lucky chaps over at NextGen.biz, was able to interview Scott Steinberg, during this years E3. While the interview has not been posted up yet, Kris has mentioned some of the topics on conversation that day.
During the interview, Scott, (apparently), mentions a follow up to Rome: Total War.
“…We’ve got the Creative Assembly guys doing Medieval and the follow along to Rome which we haven’t announced yet.â€
As far as rumours go, that sounds pretty solid to me. Of course, (as Kris points out), this could be either a brand new ‘Rome’ game, making it Rome: Total War 2. Or it could be a (rather late) expansion pack for the original title, which was released in 2004, before Sega had bought Creative Assembly.
While I haven’t really played much of the Total War series, what I have played, definitely impressed me, and the idea of a new Rome: Total War title excites me.Â
 It will also be interesting to see if Sega will opt to possibly make a console version of the game, and try for some cross-platform online gaming, like they are with their (other) upcoming RTS, Universe at War.
Hopefully we shall hear more of this, very soon. In the mean time, be sure to check the official Total War site, for more information on the franchise.

Well Sega has two CA studios working on Total War games, and the one making the next game is the one that did Rome. So I think they’re just referring to the next title by those guys, which of course could be Rome 2. I’m certain they’re not doing another Rome expansion, as the guys who did the first one at least are the team doing Medieval 2 and currently it’s expansion.

Cross platform play and cross platform development would be an atrocious abuse of the license. Keep this on the PC and then have an unrelated studio port it. UAW: EA sounds crappy enough as it is without adding on to the miserable state of cross platform affairs.

Exciting!!! I loved and still love Rome total war. The only problem with rome total war 2 would be, for me, that I would need a hard-out computer to even run it.

Wow.. This is like the biggest happening of the century, so this better be real.
Rome Total War is - by FAR - the best strategy game EVER!
There’s just no getting tired. And with up to date graphics in RTW2….. all you can do is to shiver - then faint - as your general shouts:
“now, let us offer prayers to the gods….. for strength, honor and glory!!!”
By Juno and Mars… I’m shivering just by the thought of it..
