You know, there was a fucking reason AoE2 remastered happened before AoE1 it's because no one wants to fucking play AoE1

When the fuck are we getting AoE4 already? FUCK these guys for making me think that this was going to be a sequel with the opening.

>>380087963
that's why they are changing the gameplay to be more similar to AoE 2

>>380089696

It's called cheaply gauging interest in the series to see if there are enough people to justify a new project.

>>380089405
This. I really like the original sprites. In AoE II HD I turned off 3D water as well.
Hopefully, there will be mods to fix that. Or maybe there already are HD retextures?

I think the remaster might be using prerendered sprites too. If you watch them in motion, they don't rotate smoothly like realtime 3D models would.

>>380089405
For some reason this comparison REALLY reminds me of the contrast between the sharp spritework of the GBA Fire Emblem games and the Shadow Dragon remake on the DS.
I was weired out by the 3D version at first too but it became sort of an acquired taste.

Blame marketing

Up until now DCI standards were never used as the consumer side name for a resolution standard. DCI 2K was FHD to the consumer, DCI 4K was supposed to be UHD because that wasn't good enough of a buzzword for the marketing department so they just kept the DCI standard name because it "sounds cool"

>>380090558

AoE1 with 4k graphics and quality of life improvements from AoE2 is a dream come true.

How are they going to casualize it for consoles this time?

>>380087843
I love AoE 1 but in terms of gameplay 2 is an improvement in every way.

>>380091479
>I thought Xbox Live finally died a few years back
Xbox Live is their regular service that they've always used. You're thinking about Games For Windows Live, which was shit and died.

>>380091074
There's already a AoM remaster.
Unless you're talking about a GOOD remaster?
>tfw AoM remaster is an unbalanced piece of shit that crashes all the time

This is great, but can you use it without Xbox Live? I don't like it.

>>380091752
It sounded like they are backporting some features from 2 so it might have better gameplay.

>>380091838
What's the difference?

>>380087843
No. It's literally worse than aoe2 in every gameplay aspect.

>>380090161
They went for the realistic art-style instead of limited coloration of the 90s. They should've made it more colorful though, but devs seem to be afraid of colorful textures on realistic armor.

>>380089792
We are never getting AoE 4 you morons.

You don't want AoE 4.

Anything new will be a shitshow.

Taking the solid base of AoE1 and upgrading it with AoE2 quality of life additions? That's fucking great.

Jesus that's awesome news. And last week I was wondering how Rise of Rome would be if it had all the features that made AoE 2 popular among competitive players. Seems like the world heard my thoughts.

Is this going to be a Windows 10 exclusive?

I'm trying to get the beta access, but it's not working...

>>380092761
The Xbox app itself is pretty buggy but the games themselves run well for the most part. Also no paid online like with console for some reason. I guess the price is having to install Windows 10.

>>380093007
I think they've been working on this since before last week, so I don't think your thoughts had anything to do with it, but I could be wrong.

>>380093007
i Wonder if that mean also a unique unit for each faction like AOE 2 has

>>380092527

Nigga, it's been on sale almost every big sale.

>AoE fans keep buying this shit.
You do realize these remasters are the reason why AoE isn't getting another sequel, right?

But I digress, AoE1 deserves it.
I sincerely hope they finally did something of note and fixed a lot of the problems the first game had.
The ridiculously low unit selection, bad pathfinding, no unit groups to control eveen that, no training queues, or the senpai system.

It was my very first game as a kid and it really needs a ton of work to get to a playable state.

>>380093661
