I'm guessing it will be cheap, probably trying to go for that Starcraft 1 remaster money.

For being AoE1 the remake seems to be comparably high effort imho

Sure, it's nothing mindblowing, but they coulda been cheaper

 

[Eggiem]

AOEIV with MOBA mechanics?

Hats?

Esports?

Whatever the fuck happened to "Decisive Games" that was working on a "beloved strategy franchise".

 

[Akoi]

Rick Goodman needs to come back to the video game industry. Stainless steel studios was amazing.

Shuttered because the Forgotten Empires team is probably better suited to the job.

[Gowans]

'Banter'

Loved the vid doc

 

[Altazor]

AoE 1 literally changed my life. It made me discover I loved ancient history, and made me realize I was a humanities guy. For that alone it has a very special place in my heart.

 

[Nialrot]

Sigh...

Absolutely great documentary leads into a bunch lame hosts wearing plastic props.

I am excited to get back into AoE.

[Cuningas de Häme]

I like that Scot. Funny fellow.

I want a helmet too

Sure, it's nothing mindblowing, but they coulda been cheaper

Agreed, they could have just not redone the sprites or something.

Man...StarCraft Remastered, AOE Remastered, potentially AOE 4...

Not a bad time to be an RTS fan.

 

[Trago]

Why is Greenberg wearing a toga? lol

 

[Poodlestrike]

Sigh...

Oh c'mon the "most hair I've had in 15 years" line was great.

 

[derFeef]

Adam Isgreen. So we really get a new game I guess?

 

[Hubbl3]

The hosts when the Microsoft folks busted out the silver helmet:

Man...StarCraft Remastered, AOE Remastered, potentially AOE 4...

Now if EA would let us have C&C again.

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

That documentary was really great!

I actually meant cheap as in affordable, I was fully expecting it to be a decent effort on their part.

I just watched the GB Quicklook for the Starcraft 1 remaster and that's definitely high quality too, even for only being $15.

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

aaron greenburg lol

 

[Xion_Stellar]

Just give me Age of Empires IV developed by Forgotten Empires or Creative Assembly!

 

[Acidote]

Why is this people on the stream so weird. It's all quite... awkward.

 

[StrategyFan]

Aren't Forgotten Empires basically the new Ensemble for Microsoft?

no

ensemble was one of the best devs in the world

forgotten empires is a small mod team

 

[Gowans]

Give the vid doc production crew the creative lead of the gamescom presentions next year please xbox.

 

[Starfield]

Aaron Greenberg. what a prick lol

they wanted to get the girl with the helmet on camera for wearing it and he steps in tnto the picture.

AoE 1 literally changed my life. It made me discover I loved ancient history, and made me realize I was a humanities guy. For that alone it has a very special place in my heart.

Same story for me with Age of Mythology! I just finished a degree in Classics, which all started with this game.

 

[spons]

It's either that or a bunch of slick suits on stage clapping for their own jokes.

 

[Futaleufu]

C&C veterans part of the team?

 

[Akoi]

As much as I love AOE (my first RTS game) I would love to see an Empire Earth remake.

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

Remaster Alpha Centauri

 

[Scanna]

As much as I love AOE (my first RTS game) I would love to see an Empire Earth remake.

That would be amazing!

Yea, i think they said 20$ during E3

"There's not many game franchises that have lasted this long"

Well you did your best to try and kill it off by closing Ensemble, releasing AoE Online and AoE: Castle Siege.

 

[Windu]

so when they say more info on AOE remaster they mean people just chatting about nonsense for 30 mins.

 

[Tagyhag]

I didn't know about the increased population limit. Thank god!

 

[Akoi]

Please tell me there is an attack move option now..

 

[CecilRousso]

Remaster Alpha Centauri

Not much need for that. That game holds upp well still, and is available for easy purchase om GOG.

 

[Xion_Stellar]

As much as I love AOE (my first RTS game) I would love to see an Empire Earth remake.

Now that's a game I still play with my roommate so I would love that but who owns the rights to that IP at the moment?

 

[Zedox]

So MS has to be making AoE4...and announcing KB/M for XBO for crossplay. That would be the only thing that would be worthy of 20th year anniversary imo.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

The Age of Empires franchise is one of my favorite gaming franchises of all time

 

[Zedark]

Cambridge?

Uh... No.

 

[Vyrance]

Will definitely buy Definitive Edition

 

[Eggiem]

Win 10 exclusive? No thanks.

 

[ThisIsMyDogKyle]

That building destruction looked nice.
