I hope they go back to the ancient greeks The teaser trailer did say "new age," so I expect them to go forwards, not backwards in history. It'll be interesting to see how they can adapt traditional Age of Empires mechanics to a modern timeline. AoE3 had a focus on colonialism to have an excuse for a settlement starting from scratch. They'll have to be very creative to do justice for both the franchise gameplay and the setting. | ||

Yeah, I expect to be a modern era. Maybe they can do the Napoleonic era and not just degrade down to “there are all guns now”. | ||

They'll have to be very creative to do justice for both the franchise gameplay and the setting. Given the fact that aoe3 (which i never played) apparently streches until the american civil war, the main question will be whether to include ww2 or not, as I cant assume they will go further, nor that they will not include ww1.. I'm thinking that going up to ww1 would actually make the game more interesting (for me), as there are countless games covering ww2. If I were to design the game, I would probably have 1-2 pre ww1 ages, an early-ww1 (for example without tanks) and a late-ww1 age (with tanks). GIiven that the teaser was steadily progessing in human history, with aoe1-3, I don think anything but a continuation in the timeline is a serious option. However, given the other announcements (aoe2+3 definite edition), we ourselves might be living in a different age when aoe4 is released..... | ||

Most of the games they put out were masterpieces. Just think of Homeworld, Company of Heroes, or Dawn of War. Just because they made some questionable choices in DoW III doesn't mean that you shouldn't be hyped. Quite the opposite. | ||

So I am not too worried. I won't lie and say I am a little that they might make age of empires 4 add in CoH/DoW features, which I pray they don't. | ||

Westwood/Ensemble, but they don't exist anymore. In today's market what's the RTS competition with Blizzard? Hardly anyone makes RTS games anymore, especially when limiting yourself to non-indie and traditionally AAA brands. So saying Relic in contemporary RTS development is "most accomplished besides Blizzard" isn't really saying much. I've never liked the TACTICAL games that they're known for. Age of Empires brand is a strategy line of games. I really hope they do not do the tactical shit they're known for. Let's just say I'm not excited until I see something hands on. If Ensemble was still around and making this game I'd be a lot more inclined to being excited. | ||
