Age of Empires 3 : Definitive Edition has been officially rated in Brazil - signalling that the game is scheduled to release sometime in 2020.
"Last month, Age of Empires IV released for PC and it marks the first full installment of the franchise since Age of Empires III back in 2005. I spent a good chunk of time on it and had a fairly good time but before I first booted it up, a couple questions kept entering my mind: does Age of Empires have a place in gaming anymore and is the franchise on the whole still worth playing?" - Trey Griffeth from Video Chums
Age of Empires III Definitive Edition is coming. In fact, multiplayer Beta sessions will take place in early February for Insiders.
Hope to see a day where it'll be on consoles again. I miss these games and C&C
Looking forward to this. Fell back in love with this game after the definitive editions launched. Ended up buying it on windows store and then again, again through steam for the third time. This B one looks amazing!
VGChatz's Taneli Palola: "There's no question that during these years the overall popularity of the genre took a significant hit, as most games within it specialized even further by adding new elements from other types of games into their gameplay loops and consequently became increasingly niche as the years wore on.
However, this doesn't in any way mean that the period was devoid of great games. Quite the contrary, in fact. Arguably some of the greatest RTS titles ever made came out around this time, and much of this was because many developers were increasingly familiar and comfortable with adding new twists and gameplay elements to the familiar formula. As such, even when the genre's popularity dwindled, many studios were still creating excellent and groundbreaking titles almost every year, just for a smaller audience than in years past."
those were fun years red alert star craft command and conquer well when westwood studio made good games before EA brought them like bioware...
Aside from C&C 4, the other C&C's from EA were all good/great. The genre nose dived once Moba's rose in popularity, even Petroglyph Games (ex-Westwood employees) haven't had a hit since Star Wars: Empire at War (2006), all there games got abandoned after launch.
Well, its about time!
Paving the way to AoE:IV
Bring it.
