I think that this game has the potential to be one of the best games next generation. Their is so much you can do with Rome, a story based heavily on politics, betrayal, the senate, and manipulating the the political system in order to do what you want. Then their is the roman warfare, with sieges, using heavy weaponry and a big emphasis on strategy. Adding to this rpg elements like a loot system and customization as well a slow paced/realistic combat a bit like demon souls would make the Rome experience so much better. Their idea of the Colosseum is amazing, it maybe hints at 1vs1 "boss" battles during the single player.
From what we saw from the e3 demo the game looks meh, with an exaggerated character, combat that is too faced pace with quick time events and a weird camera, but the developers themselves said that they had to scrap a demo for the show.
I think the end product will be good, yet leaving room for improvement.
