Some of this I've never seen before, looks tight though. Although the first video in this link is the shit, the second one shows the game.

Dat graphics

I'm wondering if the story is going to have some mythical elements that they haven't touched on yet or if it's gonna be just straight forward Roman politics and battles. I wouldn't mind a sprinkle of that Damocles video mixed into the game here and there.

Very good trailer and graphics, but most are cinematics and its gameplay is still in doubt.....but an excelent launch game for a new console nonetheless.

I believe you should not dismiss the first video because I believe it gives context to the 2nd video especially the very last part. it seems the story will take some kind of twist. Remember he is on a quest for vengeance.

Somewhat confused by those 2 trailers, the first is a god of war rip off, the second seems like something entirely different. It is pretty tho.

Looks great. Seems like the story could actually be very interesting, something missing from the genre imho.

It seems like there might be a twist in the story. There is definitely more to it than what they have been letting people know so far. Especially since the Domacles trailer and the ending of the second video seem to match up....

A bit of the mythical would be awesome. Can you imagine what a Roman soldier like Marius would dream about at night? Killing all day and the perspective of their mythology and religion to fuel nightmares we have no clue of. This is where the game could borrow those more fantasy moments from.

Oooh that does look good! The first trailer gave off an awesome God of War vibe and the second one just looks great.

I have quite high hopes for this game.
