Gave in to temptation, pre ordered

Loved playing this when it was released. I wonder of they will ever make an AOE 1 HD.

I thought it was another week until release...oh well I'll play it this weekend then

Same here, win.

We need to get some 8 player games going for sure.

Never delved into AOE2 to be honest with you, so I'm gonna apologise in advance for my noobish plays! haha

I didn't realise I would be able to play this tonight! Awesome!

Am I missing something or does it just look exactly the same as AOE2 original?

All I can see is it's added steam workshop. Will not be buying and I will continue to play the original.

It looks exactly the same.

No graphics options or did I miss something?

The "multi monitor mode" seems to be just being able to stretch the game window across all your screens, yes not even fullscreen multi monitor mode.

alt + shift + enter works

Looks like a weak cash grab by Microsoft. They shut down MSN Gaming Zone and Ensemble Studios, then expect people to pay £14.99 for what is a glorified patch? :rolleyes:

Geekazoid · 5 Apr 2013 at 19:24

Hi guys im really intrested in this... when it comes to multiplayer can you link 8 random players to play on a map or is it friends only...

This game feels weird without the expansion pack. Has the music changed?

Mouse goes over onto second screen, many people have this problem going by my steam thread, seriously poor.

holymonk · 5 Apr 2013 at 20:35

Where are the GFX options, ****** game.

Puppetmaster · 5 Apr 2013 at 21:08

Anyone have issues with spec in sig? Sometimes it will run at 60fps solid, others drops to around 30 fps.

[TW]Sponge · 5 Apr 2013 at 21:13

Shock as game is actually no different to the original.

Kainz · 5 Apr 2013 at 21:47

HTF do you play lol. I've completely forgotten and keep thinking I'm playing Forged Alliance i.e zooming in/out of the map with mousewheel. Visuals seem unchanged from the original though? Sod all graphical options at all.
