he is kind of right, that even very old games look better designed.
here as example screen shots from a game made 14 years ago.
Its same faction, you can see very detailed units and how they evolve over time,
while have realistic proportions, you can very well tell archer, spearman and sword dudes apart.
Each unit has own very different uniform, and that for 1 base + 2 updates,
while they start in rags, over time they get neat armors.
In AoE4 we have seen units just have one default uniform for all units.
By the way even the way how several constructors are on the building looks there better.
In AoE4 its just clean, by the game designed over 14 years ago you see dust/fog, so it gives the impression they do actually work.
Rise & Fall Civilizations at War was in development just 1 year lol.
They are still better to tell apart than in AoE4, once it does get hectic.
Due to same color patter, units close to each other just look like blue blobs with sticks.
But can it happen? I mean we all know how AoE Online, DoW3, RoL and by many more games it ended.
They did perform poorly, the plug was pulled and those games did not receive any further support.
We all did know it won’t be easy, but it has to meet expectations of the modern games market.
AoE4 has to convince people it’s an up-to-date game, that is in touché what people want.
