Hello, please check some of the newer interviews from Relic. Please see the videos yourselves, I don’t want to provide any wrong interpretations, so develop your own! These videos show how Relic approached the next game. Spoiler- they have kept the Age formula intact (which is a good thing). Please share your comments here afterwards.
Did you see the full video? They’ve dismissed the claim ageiv being eSports centric only. They said, there is something for everyone. Please see the videos brother
Definitely check out the longer video too. They give a little bit more detail on their approach. Who knows why they are not telling straight? Maybe you know “surprise?” I will play the game at least on day 1, and if I don’t like it of course I will be taking my refund.
I will interpret something wrong and probably gonna have to explain this or that if I misinformed somebody…so it is better if each aoe member sees the video themselves. Sorry, hope you understand.
They probably want to appeal to a broad market, including people with low-end PCs who might not be traditional gamers. That means graphics will be a little less detailed
don’t forget there’s age fans who doesn’t have good pc. (there is people who still play aoe2hd, and they are asking for even worse graphics option for DE), and even my friend has an potato pc that could only run aoe2de 1v1 and 3v3 on the lowest graphics and he still get lags in late game
And than watching how poor Is the actual graphic. It’s not acceptable After Two Years since the First gameplay.
I was really Happy for the game After X019 and i did this thread
Those image were Great for a Pre-alpha version. Now It seems a kind of downgrade
OK let me put it simple, AoE4 is not going to succeed where all other projects failed.
RTS vs E-Sports & Casual are too fundamental, very different from their core structure.
We are going to end up with a game, that is not going to satisfy any of the target groups.
Let’s see what happens. I will say it, let’s play it first or at least see more in-depth gameplay (hopefully they can offer some) in the future. I think rated E for everyone style they are taking maybe their nail in the coffin. Let’s see…
In the second video they actually answer why the archers are so crappy. It was a competitive request by esport player because they felt ‘not enough responsive’.
I hate when companies ask “competitive players” about design choices, like really? age of empires 2 and sc1 were not released as a esports game, it became esports because it has a great game play an great community, arrows look ugly, animations looks stupi.d. graphics looks childish… COH2 doesn’t have the sc2 responsivenes but it is good in its owen and have a nice competitive community, why, just why devs wants to copy sc2, didn’t your learn from DOW3!!!
