Age of Empires II HD

[cobito]

I'm a fan of AOE2 and the truth is that these news are always welcome. The graphics have improved a bit and it allows certain things that before it didn't (like multimonitor). Anyway, the changes are nothing out of this world.

If it comes out at a reduced price I'll get it even if it's just for the sake of having it in the Steam account.

What good news, now I won't pass even one in June :ugly: :ugly: :ugly: :ugly: :ugly: :ugly: :ugly: :ugly: :ugly:

Thanks for the warning Bm4n, endless night games are coming again, and if the online is confirmed, let me know so I can join, I have good connection here

Greetings!

Madre mia, just reading the news has opened a smile from ear to ear! I've been a fan since Aoe 1 that I played on the P3 at home. Madre mia, what memories.
I've had them all up to 3 inc. and in fact it's one of the few games that I still play, AOE 3, counter and little more. I hope it's multiplatform.

What a deal, we talked about the times of this great game not long ago, let's see how it is and I hope the price doesn't go through the roof.

Okay, the price is already 17.09€ and 57€ for the pack of 4, they could have put it for 10€…

Pues que decepción… only for Brussels sprouts...

@deeiivid:

Pues que decepción… solo para güindous...

Hombre, en parte es normal, es un juego de Microsoft. Salvo algún juego para Nintendo DS (Viva piñata, Blue dragon) o iOS (Kinectimals), no recuerdo que Microsoft sacara juegos en otras plataformas

[deeiivid]

I hope it works well on darwine or crossover

[krampak]

It doesn't look like it's online, right? It's more like a version with better graphics of II, we're going with TCP/IP and LAN, but not like AoE Online xD

Age of Empires II HD on Steam

It doesn't seem like anything out of this world, it seems like they have limited themselves to adapting it to work well today, but beware that the workshop or whatever it's called on Steam will be very playable. If we're up for it, 4 of us can get it for €14 per head...

[Tecnho]

I have already bought it with colleagues, then I try it and comment.

EDIT:

hahaha how clumsy, it comes out on the 9th of April, I was already convinced it was April, as I have been walking around with a fever lately it confuses me, well in a month I will give it :facepalm:

[Tecnho]

Yesterday I tried it out, it's very good, it doesn't have a graphic option to adapt to the monitor and that's it but you can see the improvement, authentic nostalgia, the multiplayer mode was perfect for me and the system for inviting is very good, so you can't ask for more, well if the price went down a little.

By the way, I don't remember well now, before you could change the formation of the units when attacking or standing still, right? because this one doesn't have automatic formation.

[Sylver]

Yes, before you could modify the formation at any time, whether standing still or moving, a curious detail.

Leave us a couple of quick screenshots if you can, for the luxury of seeing it in real image, because I really want to see it… do you say that the monitor can't be adapted? But the default resolution is 1920x1080, right?

Regards

[Tecnho]

Let's see if there's the training that I had to activate the advanced combat options XD I didn't even remember.
The resolution I think is 1080 but it doesn't say it, anyway it looks very good, as much as possible.

[cobito]

Out of curiosity, is the color depth still 8-bit?

[Bm4n]

The most important thing is whether it works with 3D glasses or not?!, otherwise I'll skip buying it :troll:

Por curiosidad, ¿la profundidad de color sigue siendo de 8 bits?

Yo creo que no, creo que lo han mejorado pero algunas zonas si me lo ha parecido al menos en el mapa de selva negra.

Si, los árboles se ven con más detalles (por cierto, no me había fijado en el bicho de monitor que tienes, quien lo pillara). A mi realmente el que se vea un poco mejor me da un poco igual. Lo más importante es que funcione sin problemas en PCs modernos con sistemas operativos actuales.

Recuerdo que en un portátil de hace 3 años con Windows 7 ponía el ventilador a tope. Y en mi portátil (un core 2 a 1.6GHz) llegaba a apagarse de la temperatura que alcanzaba en verano con el dichoso juego.

Lo he jugado decentemente en un Pentium 200 MMX y con total soltura en un Pentium 2 a 400 MHz. Y creo que el principal responsable es el hecho de que funcione a 8 bits, porque de esa forma la tarjeta gráfica no puede hacer nada más que mostrar lo que le manda el procesador. Eso junto a alguna que otra mala retrocompatibilidad con los DX resulta nefasto.

Cuando baje de precio me lo pillaré. De momento me valgo con el original para jugar en LAN.

Pues cuándo tengáis alguna partidilla ya puede caer pero con tranquilidad, que puede ser largo y estoy muy manco.
P.D

El monitor desde verano lo tengo, es la compra con la que mas contento estoy desde hace muchisimos años la verdad.

Haaaamijo, eso es otra historia, ahora sí… Y han sido listos comprendiendo que con el límite anterior de población en 200 unidades la cosa se quedaba ridícula... Ahora si que van a tener gracia los combates :sisi:
