Mythos_Ruler Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 They'll probably remake AOE1. I hope we're done with 0 A.D. before they do. There's been a lot of hype about a lot of RTS games, but none so far have captured the ancient age in the imaginations of gamers quite like AOE1. If they do it, let us hope they take it along the route of 0 A.D, with perhaps some other new features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinian Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 If they do remake AoE1 it will almost certainly share certain features with AoE 3/AoM. In fact if it doesn't run on a very similar engine it will be a major surprise for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apomonomenos Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Let's hope Microsoft doesn't come in and sue for a cut of the "pie", even though it was for free. I'm sure something will come up with Microsoft though..... (If it becomes International (EX Canada, EU & US)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Microsoft can't sue us. We are building 0 A.D. from the ground up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep telling them "That's nice, but AoE 1 is a classic, it needs to be redone especially with all the changes in gaming, RTS games, graphics and computers over the past 10 or so years."

Undo Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 They'll probably remake AOE1.You think? So what is your opinion about that drawing included in the instructions booklet of AoE3 that showed five eras, where the first referred to AoE1, the second to AoE2, the third to AoE3, and then it had a fourth with a modern soldier and a fifth with a robot?

Of course they could always change plans, and it'll be tough to out do Company of Heroes, but I think they'll probably try at some point.And, I know there is a lot of clatter for AOE I, AOK, and AOM, but since when has Esemble Studios ever listened to fans anyway?

Justinian Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 If AoE wants to go somewhere no-one who makes RTS's they should have 4 as WW1. Of course I have no doubts it'll be second age/epoch with WW2 as third age.Ensemble Studios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassador_Chris Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I agree Scipii. Esemble will probably pull of something of that nature. Though the RTS realm of games-in fact, any realm of gaming-needs more WWI. WWII is so overdone it isn't even funny. I can probably count all the WWI games on my right hand.WWI would be fun, especially with the extensive strategic options one could have. Trenches, machine guns, tanks, tank barriers, barbed wire, gas attacks, cavalry, armored cars, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 WWI would be fantastic, or at least the technology from 1880-1920. That's the time they made the full transition from "Ironclads" to "Dreadnoughts." From cavalry charges to mechanized tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I am fairly certain the 5th image was a Spartan from the "Halo" universe.

If you knew what was happening to Halo Wars you'd be worried too.We're talking Inexhaustible (It doesn't even overheat) Weapons on the other side (Covvies), punching Mechs (Horrible Idea), and Spartans on a Converted Resource Ship (WTF)...

Silver Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Well, there's nothing wrong with Halo being the "future", is there?They already have Halo Wars and WW1 & 2 are overdone, unless they can think of a really original way to have an RTS for WW1 and WW2, I would prefer they work on something completely different or a remake.

Mythos_Ruler Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 WWI hasn't been mined really yet. I can't think of any major RTS game to cover the era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimball Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I agree that WWII is ridiculously overdone, but WWI has barely been touched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 The Entente? The only one I think that's worth mentioningMost other games failed at making a WW1 RTS worth mentioning.It's a big risk especially with only 1 successful game.I'll have to take another look at that artwork, but the soldier screams WW2.

legio1984 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I think the next game will be a remake and there are different indications about my guess:1) the first age of empires was realesed 10 years ago and it was the most wrong age of empires( no formations, no proportion between buildings and soldiers, ridiculous naval warfare, no historic accuracy).2) Sandy Petersen( lead designer on age3) has said some time ago: " the world is ready for another game set in ancient time " ( you can read this in the agecommunity.com ( ASK SANDy's section)..Sandy also loves the roman history very much...Actually he is working on unannounced project and he is very happy to work on it... ( so 2+2 =4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
