It's even less intrusive than Steam.

What the fuck? They fucking butchered it. The original is much better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US_VqqW2QgU
Seriously how the fuck do you fuck it up this bad? Holy shit.

Now that they've released footage of the game, am I the only one who thinks it looks like garbage?
The UI is a flickery fisherprice disjointed mess, the units all look weirdly blurry, the water is extremely jarring next to the rest of the art and overall it just looks worse than the original.

All I really wanted was for them to add higher resolutions and build queues, but even ignoring the windows store bullshit this seems like a huge disappointment.

No they aren't the same thing.
Win10 is cancer spyware
Win Store is the worst piece of barely working shit since Uplay
UWP is literally more limited than fucking iOS apps and doesn't support BASIC features such as fucking EXCLUSIVE FULL SCREEN (aka proper full screen) OR EVEN V-SYNC
GET CANCER AND DIE YOU FUCKING PAJEET

Nope. This is a lazy remake that looks and sounds worse than the original.

>>388148105
How deluded can you be? Excluding the original sprites, all the new art is an incoherent mess. They can't even figure out how to do fog of war; if you look at the trees you can see rendering bugs that weren't even in the original!

ItWorksForMe[TM] actually I have moved Inkscape and Sharex to use Windows Store because they autoupdate.
Also, unlike uPlay or GFWL, the Windows Store isn't a client. It doesn't show an overlay while playing.
>UWP is literally more limited than fucking iOS apps and doesn't support BASIC features such as fucking EXCLUSIVE FULL SCREEN
UWP supports fullscreen. It also supports vsync. Your "proper fullscreen" is a relic of the past when games were distributed on cd-roms. The last game I have who uses it instead of borderless fullscreen is (ironically) Age of Empires 3.

You should have upgraded, now you're salty. Stay mad.

I was born at the same time this trash game came out. Now I think you can do the math alone

I hope this does well. I like the Forgotten Empires team and look forward to them remastering the campaigns.

I don't feel very good about Age 4. Relic hasn't made a good game since Company of Heroes 1.

>>388149768
Microsoft is clearly going all out with AoE right now, I can only hope they smack Relic around a bit to get them into shape and keep them that way.

I don't know how I feel about the remastered soundtrack yet. It sounds a little overdone. I may change my mind as I play the game though.

>>388150425
I can't see how anyone could be an AoE1 purist. While 1 is my personal favorite in the series, from the time period to the music, 2 is objectively the better game. This remake was desperately needed, as 1 was missing many QoL additions in future RTS games.

>>388150501
Nope, it's literally FREE.
And you don't need Voobly for SP.

>>388150237

No. Actually, after all these years, I just realized that Age of Empires 1 had THREE (3) Soundtracks!
1) AoE 1 Digital Audio
2) Rise of Rome Digital Audio
3) A MIDI Soundtrack that was used when you played the game without disc.

Yeah, it is more straightforward with the technologies and it encourages economy and building more than rushing.

I don't know what to think about this desu. My initial impression of the graphics and music is kind of negative but maybe my opinion will change later. What's actually important are whatever changes they made to the gameplay to make it more comfortable. Age of Empires 1 is a really basic game especially compared to Age of Empires 2.

However I wasn't planning on buying it anyway since there's no way I'm ever going to install Windows 10.

If it stays W10 only it's most likely going to be a huge flop. Everyone I know including myself that likes AoE doesn't run W10 and wouldn't think of upgrading for just 1 title.

AOE got revived thanks to the community and some redditor who asked Bill gates about it.

As for it being Windows 10, of course it will be. M$ always supported their most recent OS. It was the case with Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows vista, Windows 8/8.1 and now Windows 10.

Don't really feel like it. I'm content with 7 and I never hear good things about 10. Also reinstalling everything would be such a pain. Not interested in xbox live features either.

You don't need to reinstall everything.
