I'm curious as to what they did to the game play though, to get it up to level.

Will I be able to play 3vs3 comps and build a bunch of towers in my friends bases and then turn them to enemy still?

What I'm curious about is what engine they're gonna used, I remember AoE1 as a rather clunky game in terms of units' movement :hmm:

So... we'll have to wait like 1-4 years for an Aoe3 remastered version :/

Gotta say I'm really impressed by the graphics. You can't see it's 20 year old anymore. It does even look better than AoE2 HD lol.

@kami_ryu is it a new engine? The AoE2 HD wasn't a new engine, but then again there is quite the difference. It almost looks like they used the AoM engine. It uses Xbox Live for online play, so I think they mean servers.

Personally I think this is very cool as well :)

Right now they have new forums it seems like: https://forums.ageofempires.com/
Or it seems like they redesigned it. Looks pretty cool I have to say.

The site will be up soon I think.

Well this is huge. Provided that gameplay gets improved and balance is ok it will be the new competitive RTS of the saga.

I dont like that they adjusted the max zoom, they did that in AOT HD and I felt like it kind of broke the game and made it a different game.

They did it with Brood War but I think AOE will be even better. The youtube video shows really nice graphics.

Here is to hoping that the game engine they bring to the table is good. I've seen Dolan talk about server hosted games so that P2P lag isn't caused. I hope they do that here. Here's also to hoping that they work on fine balance and maps. This could be really great. I can't wait, personally.

Edit: damn so cool

wasnt there like a mod team that was already working on a "remake" of aoe1? i think i vaguely remember them posting on this forum looking for people to join their team recently... must be kinda weird for them to see MS dropping this on the E3, i think they had some progress already..

Like I said before, you can't confuse Age Of Empires HD and Age Of Empires HD and now Age Of Empires HD

Seems like the guys who worked on this are still just a few steps up from amateurs though - same studio that worked on aoe II HD and aom HD remakes. Hopefully this one will have been more built from scratch though and won't suffer from the issues the others did. Seeing that it's a 20 year old game I'm sure they can do at least that much.
