    looks kinda meh, animations seem to suck. also seeing some obvious lag, hopefully they'll sort it out before release. I really enjoyed AoE 2 back in the day, nothing I see here makes me reach for my wallet, but I guess it could be fun to see big battles. Just wish it had more of an epic feel

    Getting mobile game vibes from it.

    Mediocre ass graphics. AoE2 is beloved because it was polished as hell for the time, and the graphics were incredible for the time. This is just hollow, hollow stuff. It doesn't withstand inspection and I honestly fail to see what they have brought to the table that is new, other than the golden ghost people spamming around when you build something. That ain't cutting it

    How are there going to be epic battles when you have like 20 actors in the scene at once? Arrows looking all weird and don't sync with the firing animation. Actors just run into each other and play an attack animation, zero weight or physicality

    AoE 3 came out 16 years ago and looked like this

    AoE 2 has the overall scale nailed imo. Then again nothing will ever compete with AoE2 #gatekeeping

    @PampersYeah, I really don't like the scale being so off in AOE3 and apparently 4 too. AoE 2 seems to be much better in that regard.

    Nice too see that they are bringing new content like coop for AOE 2 tho.

    The gameplay video literally has hundreds of units and the unit cap per player is 200, which is the same as aoe2.
