Didn't see a dedicated Age of Empires thread so I decided I should make one, especially because of the announcement of yesterday. (atleast it was yesterday where I live  ) So a while ago we got AoE II HD and Age of Mythology: Extended Edition. Even though they didn't really bring anything new to the table (just brought the old classics up to scratch) it did create hope that after all these years we would finally get a new Age of Empires. This year, the IP is 20 years old. The perfect time for a new game, and Microsoft apparently thought so as well. Next to the fact that we got an AoE I: Definitive Edition announcement as a surprise on E3 earlier this year, the unthinkable has finally happened: I can't describe how happy I am about this. Age of Empires I was practically the first game I have every played and the series has stuck with me ever since. And now a new game is finally upon us. And on top of that, Relic Entertainment will make the game! They are the creators of the Company of Heroes series so I have faith that they can pull this off as well. So what do you guys think? Not only about the announcement and Relic Entertainment, but also about the series as a whole? Which game was your favorite? What will be the focus of the new game? To answer one of those questions myself, the trailer gave a strong 'Empire Earth' vibe if you ask me. It seems as if they want to implement all ages into a single game. BUT, it might also be that they simply wanted to recap their past achievements before moving on to World War I/II. That is Relic's specialty after all. Anyway, I just wanted to share this great news with everyone here. Have a nice day! |

Actually, after the disappointment that is Dawn of War III, I'm only cautiously optimistic about Relic Entertainment's ability to deliver a good RTS. CoH2 is really good, but has an atrocious DLC model. I'll keep an eye on this one, but I'm not holding my breath. Of course, if they build and improve on the franchise's very solid foundation and keep the classic RTS features (unlike DoW III), then we may well be in for a treat. Let's hope the best!  |

Yeah, that was definitely a surprise. At this point, I wasn't expecting any more AoE games never again.
I started with AoE 2, it was probably the first strategy game I played. AoE 3 was pretty good too imo. Though, my favorite game was always AoM, I wish they made a sequel. I played the crap out of that one.

I'm glad to see that AoE 3 didn't permanently put this one in the ground.
Here's hoping that it does better than 3 did(which I didn't think was actually all that bad, even if it doesn't measure up to the classic that is AoE 2).

I have Windows 10 anyway so I can just as easily buy it on their store, but Microsoft should just release AoE IV and I on Steam as well. I get that they want to push Windows 10, but I can see both AoE 4 and the remastered 1 not doing very well if they're going to attempt to make it Windows store exclusive. PC gamers really don't like things not being on Steam and Microsoft doesn't have the pull in the PC market that EA did to pull off forcing their digital distribution platform on us. Personally I'd like a GoG version as well, but I'd settle for just Steam. |

Seems like every Microsoft title nowadays HAS TO BE a Win 10 exclusive and has to be on that awful MS Store that forces you to create an Xbox Live account even when you never touched an Xbox in your life. Too much BS honestly.

Looks like it might take an Empire Earth direction where it spans several Eras, whereas each of the previous AoE games was centered around a specific time period.
Hyped though, I really hope it's going to be good.

Relic is making it? If so.. wonderful! They have some credibility.
I played AoEII and AoEIII and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. Even played AoE:O for a bit, and I would buy a non-mmo rehash of it in a heartbeat.
So, I am going to go with Crusty here and initiate the PLEASEDONTSUCKPLEASEDONTSUCK chant.

I've waited AGES for a new AoE game and hopefully this can be as good as the first and second. Was one of the first RTS games behind star craft that I played on pc.

Looks great. Really like that they kept the sounds the same and that the music is still easily recognisable after the upgrade.
