The only game of note at E3

>game originally easy to read with tons of soul
>killed by extreme bloom and unnecessary effects

Fuck this, i'll play the original.

Mayans>All

>a remake of an HD remake that is less than a few years old
Hi, shill!

I guess I'll buy it, play it for a week and go back to HD.

Also, having Lithuanians in the game, and still no Poles (Slavs is Russian) is just retarded.

definite edition looks like straight up shit

...

Fuck them. I aint paying a second time for an upscale.
Where is AOE4

Definitive editions looks worse than the HD edition

seriously fuck that shitty bloom I am so tired of it

HD was an upscale, Definitive Edition is a full-blown remake.

Looks beautiful but Ive played this shit a thousand times already

Well it's got new content so you could argue for people who've played it to hell and back that it's like a new expansion.

you can LITERALLY see how they cropped the tree images from other pictures

They should have done it right in 2013. Now it's just a money grab

SHHHH
ROOOO

Mustn’t be of note then.

HD was just to bring the game to modern systems, they had no plans for remaking the entire series + AoE4 at that time.

OP here, posted the wrong imag. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Reminder that AoE 3 was good

Did they even announce anything about AOE4? Not that I have high expectations or anything

It was good in the first era, then once everything became a ranged unit the rock-paper-scissors balancing became dumb. Unit 1 with rifle hard counters unit 2 with slightly different rifle for no reason hard counters unit 3 with slightly different rifle for no reason.

how do they consistently manage to make remasters look worse than the original? And in my experience it tends to be Microsoft published games that suffer from this to a worse degree than almost any other.

I still can't bring myself to play Fable Anniversary because to my eyes, the original just looks BETTER. Yes, technically Fable Anniversary can do this, that and the other thing that Fable: The Lost Chapters couldn't do. But Fable: The Lost Chapters had style, it was charming. There's just something incredibly off-putting about Fable Anniversary appearance right down to character models.

And now this remaster, which isn't quite as egregiously bad as Fable Anniversary, but is still noticeably worse, is set to take the stage. Seriously what the fuck?

The real question is have they fixed the goddamn netcode and pathfinding?

HD is so fucking terrible that most of the community has abandoned it for voobly, which is just a fan made mod with slightly less shitty netcode.

Also check out the dumpster fire that was AoE:DE

HD Edition was only a few years ago. It's way too soon to be updating it again.

What's that unit in green with the shield but without the berserker cape? It seems to have an axe.

This, the only ones keeping the mp alive are the voobly autismos
If they can't offer improvements on that front then this is just another nostalgia trip for loners.

m8, ease up on the 'soul' juice.

>Also check out the dumpster fire that was AoE:DE
They fixed AoEDE already.

When they made it there were almost no public plans for expanding or actually remaking the rest of the games. All they did was retool them a little so they would be mildly playable on newer systems.

it looks so... washed out

>yet another blatant money grab remake
>of note
No.

>a complete remake
>a cash grab
>a re-release that only increases the resolution
>not a money grab
hmm

I rather someone remade Galactic Battlegrounds .

>how do they consistently manage to make remasters look worse than the original?

Remasters are low-budget projects staffed by a small team of nonimportant people.
Of course they stand no chance in comparison to the original projects staffed to the brim with the best people the AAA project could afford.

They're just HD texture mods of old, only official and thus paid for.

Well, gotta give credit where its due. HD was responsible for flaring up interest in AoE2 and brought in a bunch of fresh blood into the community, which at that point was a stable, but very limited bunch of dudes. But then most people realized that HD did not solve any of the original's multiplayer problems and moved on to voobly.

Personally I am not a huge fan of the new civs, but at least they mixed shit up and caused the meta to become more dynamic.

Is this a joke? It better be because i would rather play the game on the right.

You can turn the bloom off.

looks beautiful; but, not worth a third buy though, ddeessuu

you in beta? post screenies!

That's AoE1 Definitive, AoE2 Definitive runs on the same engine.

Didn't they already do this? It's silly that people will just buy shit again. Retards.

Jesus even the video options UI looks like shit

All the other games were trash, sure. But both the original and HD are still perfectly serviceable, so why would you care about this?

I'll buy it twice just to make you more upset.

DE looks fine to me.

I eagerly await the revamped soundtrack.

No, see

I'd be interested if it wasn't on a fucking phone

I've played AoE since the first one was released in 97. I think this DE version looks fucking fantastic and they seem to be improving little things (Pathfinding looks better) and adding even more. There's no reason to be mad at this if you actually played and enjoy the franchise.
It's even coming to Steam now.

How much longer must I wait for it to come on steam it's still says coming soon despite the game is already done. Since it released I've been holding back on buying it their store.

its for PC

They said they want to bring the entire WinStore and even old Xbox library to PC (utilizing Xbox API which they're currently testing in the latest test build for Win10, basically same thing that Xbone uses) but I'd wager it's gonna be a while before they start rolling it all out.

thats not evil genius 2

it's the fucking same game.
If they buff or male some units stronger or even different doesn't make it a new game.
Those VirginDevs should create a new game, not 'remake' the old one.

>dude bloom lmao
If I wanted to play a game with fullscreen blur I'd just take my glasses off

Where's soul?

You can turn it off.

I can't wait to hear how they'll fuck up Shamburger.

>but is okay when Square and Nintendo do it
Damn

>new art
>new animations
>new audio/music
>new campaigns
>new civs
>same game

AoEDE's soundtrack was fantastic, I doubt they'll fuck the music up.

Looks like Rise of Nations

>Remake of a remake
Just make AoE4 already

so much this
god bless Flight Simulator

AoE2 has never been remade before.

The core is still AoE 2, it is the same game with a paint job you retard

you forgot stronghold

And it has been completely remade from the ground up, what aren't you understanding?

>winbot 10 exclusive
>winshitstore exclusive

no, thank you. I will just keep playing the original.

Hell yeah man. The devs can just hire the guys behind the Expanding Fronts mod since they've put in so much work into the game already

It's on Steam moron.

I will buy this and then play it on windows 7. Watch me do it!

It keeps enemies at bay.

APM-intensive RTS games are not viable in 2019, they're just not enjoyable enough to play compared to the alternatives. People don't like frantically clicking, feeling like they're not doing enough for the entire time they're spending in a game. You loved them in the 90s because there was hardly anything else to play and now it's just nostalgia clouding your judgment.
There, I said it.

That has nothing to do with anything.

AoE is not APM intensive

needs more bloom

lmao shitter

Shipments were a good idea.

There also were less normies among the ranks of gamers back then, and thus they could handle more delayed gratification and effort in games than the "gaymers" of today can.

Don't forget that, either.

Lol, what?
It's functionally exactly the same as Starcraft, the most APM-intensive game ever made.

Imagine being this low IQ

Don't the assfaggots players have to be 500apm gookclickers too?

The what?

'mobas'

>aoe
>apm-intensive
get a load of this casual

I didn't like the remastered soundtrack. The classic AoE1 soundtrack felt more tribal, but the remaster introduced a bunch of violins and strings.

I loved both. AoE/AoM, 1 in particular, has my favorite music of all time and I think the DE did a fantastic job.

Why is it that the more money that's pumped into an industry, the more creatively bankrupt it becomes?

I just think it's a shame. Vitalis produced three great songs for the Rise of the Rajas expansion that blended perfectly into the classic AoE2 soundtrack. I'm not sure if he's the one who has been remastering or if it is outsourced to someone else.

This is good news, because this might fix all the netcode issues and dsync in multiplayer

The difference is that while you need high APM to be competitive at MOBAs, you can play them lazily and things still look roughly like you're in control. In classic RTS games shit starts visibly falling apart when you aren't constantly dividing your attention between 10 things at the same time and that's exhausting.

Still, a lot more people watch MOBAs than play them, so there is some similarity,

This looks amazing. Why are you all shitting on it? Do you feel good when you want every game to fail? Go do something productive with your pathetic lives.

>and still no Poles
It's almost like Poland really shouldn't be a country?

>t. wasn't born when AoE came out

Age of Kings was released 10 years before 90% of this board was even board.

>tfw you will never be board

I played the fucking demo before the game was even out (if that's how demos worked back then, I can't really remember).

Are you going to make your point or is Yea Forums-retard-speak all you have to offer?
