Nothing more natural than the game returning to it's publisher in auction... Maybe they can make a good effort on the Kinect for a sequel.

That would be the worst thing they could do. What's the point of building a PC fanbase if you put the sequel on a different machine?


What is the point of buying Rare to put the sequels on a Microsoft console?

And look what happened to them. Like I said, worst thing they could possibly do.

I enjoyed the first one. still have it! but I don't really trust Microsoft, after age of empires 2 the other sequals were....quite bad and unpopular. However I would really like another in the Rise of Nations series as long as its still amazing!

I don't trust Ea either.......they still haven given me batlle of middle earth 3 and the expansion is literally £100+ on amazon so that's a no no.

other RTS series I went into was command and conquer but I didn't enjoy it not even half as much as others to be honest.

So what is so wrong with AOE that buying rise of nations can fix?
AOE is a much bigger brand, they should just revive that instead.


2 RTS franchises > 1 RTS franchise.


Not if you are not even giving the one you already have the attention it needs.

I do agree with you, but that wouldn't impend them from doing the idiotic decision right?
