True G's still play AoE 2 my friend.
Has a nice art style for the type of game it is and looks good, am I missing something ?
I don't understand what the problem isI was excited at first; units on walls! Then intrigued; the Mongol gameplay looked interesting. Then wondered that as it was still so soon after the release that they would improve it a lot. Hey, at least they made the arrows smaller.
Then this shit happened. I'm out. My most beloved game franchise and I actively don't want to have anything to with it.
I don't understand what the problem is
Ah ok got it. The WOKENESS. So, nothing then. Glad you're speaking for Joan of Arc lmaoThe wokeness. And I don't say that lightly. Usually I can ignore it and am not keen to bring it into discussion, but AoE is something that I hold quite dear.
Not to mention Joan of Arc would hate most of those lionising her now.
And then there is the pandering to different countries that are oversensitive to how they are portrayed in media. China, Iran, India, and Pakistan in this case.
Honestly I have a hard time imagining what VR would bring to the genre....Maybe coupled with voice comands and you could shout at your troops where to go and what to do?I was hoping VR would reignite the RTS genre but it hasn’t happened yet…

Are we praising AOE3?
Get out!
Aoe 2, Mythology and 3 were sold off their looks and for the latter two, their technological innovation, so I'm not sure what you mean by that.Since when has AOE ever been about looks lol it is 100% bout the gameplay only real OG AOE players will know. You people with your graphics i mean seriously if Games were only bout how good it looks than Minecraft would have die off a long time ago, graphics is not what a game is only about the gameplay is way more important than Graphics.
All that matters in an RTS is gameplay. The graphics look fine. It has an art style they decided on maybe for compatibility across the most systems. Why does it need to have to notch graphics simply because it's funded by Microsoft? As long as the campaign is good and the mechanics are well made that's all that matters.The excuses in this thread. This game is being funded by Microsoft. There is no excuse to not have top notch graphics and gameplay.
Good luck convincing people on a board where engine tech demos and Digital Foundry videos can spawn threads with 50+ pages that graphics don't matterAll that matters in an RTS is gameplay.

I was just thinking the basics of using your hands to select and guide units around instead of a mouse.Honestly I have a hard time imagining what VR would bring to the genre....Maybe coupled with voice comands and you could shout at your troops where to go and what to do?
Maybe you thought of something great I hadn't thought of and I'd gladly hear it because, like you, I feel that the genre has stagnated.
Oh Ok, I'm not sure if it would change the controls that much, they would probably be a little more fluid for sure.I was just thinking the basics of using your hands to select and guide units around instead of a mouse.
It’s a mainline premiere franchise. Top notch graphics should be expected. I remember being amazed by AOE3 graphics when it was released in 2005.All that matters in an RTS is gameplay.

You and I are both missing OP's point. I'm not sure what's the problem here?Has a nice art style for the type of game it is and looks good, am I missing something ?
What about that Rise of nations game?
what game is that. You can't drop gorgeous screenshots and not name the game. wtf...lolThe thing u are missing is that its complete dog shit looking and not even remotely worth of age of empire 4 title.
Specially when stuff like this already exists for a couple of years.
