| Ryuu96 said: So, of course, given this is the final game in the older Age Of franchise to remake, and, well, how they’re making new expansions for it… Surely? Surely, right? Age of Empires V is just sitting there, in the ether, unmade. “It does sound a lot like you’re in a position where you kind of want to make something new?” I asked, my voice going ridiculously high at the end as I try to goad them into an answer I know they won’t give. I came closer than I thought! “So…” began Yuen. “I…” he continued. “We…” he added. “I would love…” he so temptingly continued. And then catching himself went back to the clearly rehearsed line of, “So, we are launching the game on September 4, our goal is this will be a game that will continue to be updated and nurtured and…” Just imagine me turning down the volume at this point. So I tried again. “I know you don’t want to answer this, but you must be tempted make a whole new one! You’ve got everything in place, right? Teams in place, all these experts…” “Yes,” says Yuen, gently cutting me off. “We do have a lot of people that are very interesting in building more Age.” Come on, come on. “And that is definitely something that we need to…” YES?! “Right now, we need to focus on making Age of Mythology: Retold the best game out there.” Goddammit. How The Age Of Mythology Retold Devs Welcome The Modern Era I think they could give Age of Mythology 2 to Forgotten Empires, at this point they've remastered everything and Forgotten Empires also assisted on Age of Empires IV so they have a huge amount of experience on the Age of franchises, so I would absolutely trust them on a full fledged title, meanwhile Relic Entertainment can work on Age of Empires V because they're going to need the work. |
Microsoft should remake Black & White since they own the IP due to the purchase of Lionhead studios years ago.
