I really don’t like the style of AoEO.
Looks like it’s made for a small screen (mobile) and relies on strange proportions.
Just doesn’t look anywhere near the real thing.
I kinda wish they made an AoEODE that looks like AoE3DE (same engine I think) or how I imagine AoMR (also AoE3DE engine) will look like.
The game does really well on a computer screen its not a mobile game.
Honestly the game plays quite well once you get the flow of it. The cartoony look is part of the game’s charm and therefore makes the game a bit more timeless than realistic graphics.
All the DE version needs is to avoid the P2W money scalping.
Ok, that seems pretty tenuous to me. It feels to me like giving Romans a thunderstorm for their wonder because Jupiter was associated with thunder. I also think wonders should not be natural or mythological, and this is both!
It’s because of the cartoon aesthetic, they wanted to compete with facebook games like Farmville and since it’s an MMO, they also wanted to compete with World of Warcraft (remember that Warcraft is an RTS saga)…
Yes, AoM Retold is going to be like a more realistic version of AoEO (all three games use the Bang Engine)…
Well they ran out of ideas…remember that the pagan temples of the Lithuanian campaign are also “trees of life”…
Visuals are always subjective.
Yeah it ages better but it did never look good in the first place in my opinion.
And “cartoon” look also suffers from things like low resolution textures.
The game was made in a time where 1080p was considered high resolution, not it’s on the lower end.
im honestly more disappointed in the fact that there are no new hero skins for AOE2 side of this, and the wonder just a reused version of colosseum
The same, with Project Celeste they add graphic fixes from time to time…
