Holy **** balls, it's happening. Finally the best AoE game is getting a remaster. I'm so happy!

i saw that coming when it said something about xbox live multiplayer... why not advertise multiplayer on everything.


But yeah the game actually looks great. Was expecting some half arsed 3d thing.

Also definitelly it is the best AOE game.
 
Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is coming to Windows PC later this year. Interested parties can sign up for a multiplayer beta today, once the series’ website goes live. Isgreen also teased additional Age of Empires-related announcements for Gamescom in August, saying that “you’re going to hear from us again” about more ways in which Microsoft will mark the series’ 20th anniversary.

I wonder what that is. Maybe another AoEII expansion?
It's probably something bigger than that. They might announce they're making more games, hopefully not as lame as age of empire online.

Also apparently age 1 remastered will be windows store exclusive?
 
Apparently it is coming out tomorrow.
Probably only available on windows store tho.

Yes. First impressions so far:

Pathing is a bit dodgy here and there, units often get stuck or have to clumsily move around objects like in the original.

AI is actually quite broken, genuinely. AI often boxes itself in or gets entire armies stuck. AI is currently worse (or more buggy) in DE than in the original game. Really weird AI behavious that send villagers out across the entire map for literally no reason (chopping single trees right next to the enemy base etc). Building 4 to 5 barracks without training any military units etc. AI sending entire villager army over to enemy base to mine their gold even though they have a perfectly fine gold mine themselves. All of these happen in nearly every single game I have played.

Attack move, build queues, etc are all good editions.

"Classic Mode" can be selected to make the game look and play like the original but only in custom scenarios.

Visually the game is a mess. The fire looks really, really terrible. The blood looks really, really terrible. The dust cloud when buildings get destroyed look really, really, really terrible.

Oh, yeah, the unit animations are worse than the original game.
 
They build a few of them for sure. All hard AI tower rush at all times, though. Also, AI get stuck with idle villagers on farms.

I played a scenario with 7 other Hardest AI and every single one of them had loads of villagers idling on farms because they already had villagers assigned to them. 90% chance of an AI farm having an idle villager stuck on it.



I can't emphasise enough how bad the fire looks. It looks really, really bad.

They always have this 4 flame arrangement on every building and the animation looks so ****ing terrible.

This might be the ugliest RTS I have ever played. It looks like a bad Flash game from 2009.
 
It is only available on the Microsoft store. It is only available for Windows 10. It is not being released on steam. It does not have workshop support. If you want to play online you need to go through the xbox/Microsoft friends service.
 
FYI, the game was releasted yesterday on Steam.
