Oh please. It comes with the expansion and the ability to invite through Steam. Its well worth $20. If people can throw Nintendo $20-$50 bucks for HD remakes, I can hardly call AoE2 plus the expansion not worth $20Carnagath said:
Microsoft Reveals Age of Empires II: HD Edition

- Start date
The difference isn't enough for me to bother buying it again. I was able to get Age of Empires one and two for like 5 euros before and the graphics aren't exactly much of an improvement to warrant a repurchase at however much they'll ask for it.
I don't get all this excitement.

Hell yes! I only had the demo of Age of Empires II with the William Wallace campaign and the 1 custom map when I was a kid but I still played the shit out of that demo.
lol, yeah, the good old cheats. especially the sports carLongstreet said:
how i spawned like 10 of them and just drove down every little house down.especially if you create your own maps and place 100s of soldiers and just witness a huge battle
Steam-enabled AoEII? April 9th?
Lo, I instruct you to gear up, my Mangudai. Ride from the castle in the east, and sweep over the chilled planes, striking all down with your storm of flaming arrows upon the command issued by your leader: "Let's do this freaking thing."
Man I hated that glitch.

I'm not usually hyped for HD re-releases, but getting the game with modern graphics support will be worth it just for this alone.Metalrocks said:

...Oh, man! That hit me right in the nostalgia. I remember my cousin teaching me to play that game before my age ever hit the double digits. I always had to cheat to beat the single player levels but I had one hell of a good time doing it!
This...this is nothing but a good thing. I can't wait!
Oh, and Microsoft? If you guys want even more of my money...
This. Do it now.

Yes, I know what resolution is. My point, which I thought was about as clear as it could be, is that 1920x1080 is really shit resolution for a PC monitor. Hell, there are tablets with better resolution than that. If this was a console game, making it fit the resolution of most TVs would make sense. But for a PC remake of a PC game? No.Steven Bogos said:
I completely agree, although red grass and purple see? That sounds pretty cool, you could roleplay (if thats your thing) your exploring a brand new continent of badassmateushac said:

If there's one thing I need, it's Age of Empires II with a fresh coat of paint.
The old paint, at least for me, has started glitching out.

Well it's out and playable now for people who pre-ordered. I did and went through the tutorial campaign and it's working great and oh my gosh, over 200 achievements, really?
Anyone else have it/played it yet and have some impressions? If you played the original is this as good as remembered? I never played an Age of Empires game before and I think it's great so far.
