Like them or hate them, we all remember the prerendered cutscenes that accompanied the original AOE. From the quiet campaign intros to the dramatic game intro, and the brief campaign endings, the cutscenes were neat because they showed off detail in the game’s artwork that was simply not visible through sprites.
What do you all think of cinematics in AoE? Were they a waste of time, or do you want new ones to accompany the Definitive Edition?
I do not remember having people focused on this type of work in FE, it would be great to have an improvement on the cutscenes, but as the opinion of many here, it would not be bad to keep the originals for nostalgic reasons.
The original low resolution cinematics would be very pixelated in 1080P or 4K. Personally I expect that the original cinematics will be remastered like all of the other content. I haven’t seen this answered by Microsoft Studios or Forgotten Empires yet, so good question!
I only remember the trailer for Rise of Rome, and that’s because at the time I loved the line: “Unfortunately your new neighbor has other plans…Welcome to Rome!”
Still, it would be fun to see some updated cinematics for this one!
