ITT: Glorious revival of franchises

HD versions are a mistake. You either were born in the right era or you weren't. End of story.

Why could'nt they keep the sprites ?

>>386794173
>3D
fuck no

>>386794730
>>386794879

come on guys. I loved AOE1 when i was a kid, but that game has aged like shit. Once you play AOE2, AOE1 becomes unplayable. Even with the Rise of Rome expansion.

>>386794879
>>386794891
Pretty sure they're still sprites, just with a fuck ton more frames so it's a lot smoother.

Right: Diablo 2
Left: Diablo 3

Why couldn't they just stay true to the original style? Everything looks like caartoony shit.

Oh shut the fuck up, it looks exactly the same.

(X) HATE TWEENING

Can't wait to hear the rest of the updated soundtrack. AoE/2/Mythology have the best ost in all of gaming.

Look like its in 3D
>>386795038
I like the antiquity aesthetics more than the middle ages. Simple as that.

>>386795685
it looks much duller and blurrier

It's W10 only and not on steam, just a heads up.

>>386795879
These can't be improved upon, they'll be inferior remixes.

>>386796213
I agree but they'll still be great alternatives.

>Windows store exclusive, for that matter
Fuck off Microsoft shill, you're going to need to try harder than that. You'd have better luck just posting Alberto if you're going to be that obvious.

>tfw still playing AoE2 to care

Rogan?

Warcraft 3 HD when?

>>386796661
WC3 and D2 remasters are confirmed.

>>386794879
i dont mind the loss of sprites, but for ground tiles using blended materials, with what looks like generic / stock bump maps looks fucking awful.
i know its industry "standard", but make an effort to retain the "popular historical" aesthetics of the original

>>386795038
But I like the starting in the Stone age AOE 2 doesn't have that just something about starting with wood/stone weapons then moving up to metal weapons is so much more fun for me personally, especially if you move ages faster then you have an advantage over you enemies. I know I'm like the only one though that likes AOE 1

Erectus

>>386796757
POE?

>>386797068
The colours are pretty bad too, compared to the vibrant colors of the original and especially when compared to the remaster of AoE2.
Seems like they put some kind of grey filter over it

Cool. Ill keep playing aoe2 with all its new content. For less. And not have to install w10. And not have to use it as a fucking app.

the 90s are back baby!

Duke and Caleb next never ever sadly

Legion or Centurion?

This is easily the biggest mistake they could have possibly made. We have aoe2hd that everyone already owns. What a fucking waste of time and money for something nobody will buy

>>386797903
We got bloodgdx, be happy with that

Anyone else play the fuck out of the AOE1 and 2 trials as a kid?

the best possible world would be the release of Blood EX by Kaiser but he's tied up with Night Dive doing '"real" work and it's a legal landmine, especially with Atari trying to swing their dick around right now. If it was a launch title for the Ataribox I would eat it up in a heartbeat

>>386798034
Eat a dick, this is literally the best thing to do. AoE1 is old and clunky. I love it to death but it desperately needed polishing.

>>386794891
>>386794879
It's all still 2D, they added in a shitload of additional sprite rotations and tweening.
