Hey everyone,
This year, Forgotten Empires will be present at gamescom! We’ll be part of the Age of Empires booth and will be giving fans a first look at Age of Empires: Definitive Edition!
What is gamescom and can I be part of it?
Gamescom is a yearly trade fair for video games, held in Cologne, Germany. This year it runs from 22/08 till 26/08. Tickets are still available but are limited. For availability, you can check on their website.
What will Forgotten Empires be doing there?
We’ll be part of the Age of Empires booth, giving fans a first look at Age of Empires: Definitive Edition. And on Monday, August 21, starting at 9:00pm CEST, 12:00pm PDT, we’ll celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Age of Empires franchise with a special livestream event in Cologne.
Definitely come say hi! Either to get a first look & feel of AoE:DE or to talk anything AoE! We’ll be coming down with Bert (“Cysion”, Project Lead), Alex (“Alexastor”, Art Lead), Cédric (“1302”, Campaign Lead) and Marius (“Promi”, AI Lead)
I can’t come to gamescom, how can I still join in?
The anniversary event will be live-streamed on the official Age of Empires channels.
The important question is, will you give out Age of Empires shirts?
Release on Stem please!
Any news on new content for Age of Mythology?
This, I’m hoping for another campaign or any attention to it like aoe2.
I’m quite interested in AoE 2 Definitive Edition.
And maybe i’ll try AoE3 DE… I’ve never played it, did not like it.
But maybe this time.
About the announcements made: Oh. My. God.
Amazing that you are going to make Definitive Editions for the 3 classics! It will be an opportunity to fix the visual architectures of the Spanish and other civs in AoE II so they match the culture better this time. Looking forward to it.
They should still patch this in the HD game! Time to switch the Spanish to Portuguese/Italian architecture and upgrade that architecture to a higher quality version that fits well to all three civilizations. The same for the Slavs, Magyars and Huns, who should all have the same architecture in a better looking/upgraded version.
Disqus is crazy. I’ve tried to write a comment here two times now, but it gets blocked each time and I don’t really see why. So, I’ll have to shorten what I wanted to say: Yes, I fully agree. I wish the Spanish would get their appropriate architecture, it should be the same that the Portuguese use.
I just learned about AoE 4 yesterday!
Any thoughts on when AoE 2 Definitive Edition will be released? Perhaps mid 2018?
I, along with many other AoE2 fans I’m sure, have pre-ordered AoE:DE. Can’t wait to get back into the original game. However, I see myself most excited about AoE2 even beyond that of AoE 4! I’m sure AoE4 will be good and CoH is an amazing game showcasing Relic’s skills, but still, AoE2 DE has got to be the crowning announcement of Gamescom
I think a great new game type would be wonder regicide. No timer obviously.
So, like… Defend the Wonder?
No… Defend the wonder has 1 team on offense and one on defense and only one wonder. This would have wonders for every player and they would be eliminated when their wonder is destroyed and to eliminate an enemy they would need to destroy their wonder. Like when the king dies in regicide. Does this make sense? Also no timer or “wonder years”.
Ah yep. Yes it could be quite cool. Especially when my bring my secret unit… One that can fling a 90kg rock over 300 metres.
same I hope AoE 2 DE will be the killer
Will the expansion, The forgotten, ever have voice acting?
Amazing but I hope they Will fix this CONTROL PANELS showing and hiding. It was better with Still fixed panel also font could be less comic style. quietly hoping for MAC version too.
Lol.
