OMG I freaking love Age of Empires. I hope it's similar to AoE II
03/10/09 HUGE day in my life:
| cura said: If it is true, I'm curious as to whether it will be a 360 or pc game (probably 360), and whether it will incorporate natal. Anyway, Age of Empires died with ES. Can't say I'm terribly excited over the prospect of another AoE game. Not sure what the point of it is really? |
I wonder how do you play AoE with Natal.

I imagine voice recognition or using your index finger tip as the cursor (instead of a mouse) though I'm not familar with natal so I'm not sure if that's possible.

Why do so many people dislike AOE3? Is it because you have perticular objections to the game or was it just the 'sequel' effect (aka, it wasn't like AOE2 and didn't do what you wanted in a sequel)?
It was pretty much everything a sequel should be, with enhancements in every field and new enhancements to gameplay. And unlike many RTS games recently, tried to do something new. Which in my opinion, it did well (yes, the 'deck' system coupled with unique units and things like the Consolate buildings were all great additions). And even compared to AOEII, each race has more diversity and unique abilities. From being able to build Daimyos to build units in the field with the Japanese to running over your opponents with Calvary with the Germans, every race has their own unique advantages. I really think AOEIII and Company of Heroes were two of the more innovative (and fun) RTS games in the last 5 years. I wish people wouldn't put their love of AOEII in the way of that. And yes, I love AOEII as well.
Anyway...rant over. With the topic of the thread. I love AOE. Favorite RTS series, so I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this. But I'm hesitant because the original team isn't working on it. I can only hope it'll either be worked on by a team that is really working to keep the same feeling of the past games or some of the key members of Ensemble Studios.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
| dbot said: I would buy Natal to play this game. Assuming of course that Natal is able to redefine the RTS console experience, and there is no PC version, and some of the remnants of Ensemble are working on it. |
That would be absolutely fantastic! Age of Empires IV being X360 exclusive and supported by Natal controls.

If they're following the plan mapped out in the image from the AOE 3 book, then 4 is modern day and 5 is future.
Never argue with idiots
They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience
The AoE franchise needs to return to his roots. I loved the first two games, i hate the 3rd and Mythologies.

While this makes sense, personally I hope they go back to AOEII type civilizations for a 360 version. But knowing how people seem to love their WWI/WWII action I wouldn't be suprised if they go that route.

AOE is not the SRPG King, not even a SRPG in fact.
