People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
I'm going to build a gaming PC in the future just so I can play this game Day 1.
It's the only platform announced so far, so make of that what you will.
I hope not. Id love a modern aoe2. Just go crazy with it.

I disagree, but even if that was the case, it would be the perfect opportunity to bring the mouse+keyboard ability that they promised a few times already.
One of these days I'll jump into a time machine and delete the harddrives of Guinsoo and Icefrog circa 2004.

This is the biggest thing MS has announced in the last five years. Time to build a god damn PC, y'all.

It would be sad to see Age of Empires compromised by gamepad controls.

Console AoE would not be AoE. Like at all. Make it a spin off or something but please develop it for the pc first.

So..... gameplay? I always find these cinematic trailer only announcements thoroughly lackluster.
Even the original Dawn of War? It was amazing.

I didn't see this! Using the tech from 4 then? Very cool
Can't wait for those too. I don't think we will see 4 release before summer/fall 2019. Those games will be spread out until then.

This is worse than the MP4 'trailer'. I saw that it was over a minute long, got my pizza next to me and got comfortable. Only to be disappointed for a goddamn minute. At least MP4 was only a 40 seconds long.
I won't be surprised if by the time AoE release MS have a "Windows mode" for the Xbox One X.
I think its the Engine from the remake of 1, its different i think, different developers.
after FFVII remake...I have have full faith they can make something great. Expecting the best.

Why does he wear the mask!?
sarcasm? lol
I didn't know there was a stream going on. I just clicked on gaming side and saw an AOE4 thread.
I think Age 2 is being made on the tech stack they did for Age 1 Definitive since Phil mentioned they were making technology with the future in mind.
Age of Empires 4 is presumably on Relic's Essence Engine.

Who would've been better than relic? Serious question, see some people doubting them because of that Warhammer? Was it a bad game? How many bad games did they make?
Also, never played AOE guess its pretty good?

It NEEDS to be a PC first title. Focus on KB/M. Hell, maybe the Xbox will support KB/M when this releases anyway, and they could offer that for players on Xbox.
If they nail KB/M, and then want to figure out how to add gamepad support for Xbox, then by all means. However, gamepad support must not impact the core game design or controls for PC players.
Even though MS is making big pushes into PC and Play Anywhere support, they can't let that compromise the games by mandating every title must be playable on both, including with gamepads. In some games, it simply makes sense to focus on one control scheme, and if that means not releasing on Xbox, then they should be okay to make that decision for the sake of the game.
