I don't know if it's ok to post a scan or not, even if just a screen. If not though I'll edit. Credit to oxygen @ OA.

Wow. If that's representative of the real-time, in-game stuff, I will actually be interested in this series again. Not to pronounce myself a graphics whore, but you know, damn.
Your thread title is dirty.
Oh, and the game's pretty.
How the hell would you play that?
Holy nutsack, that's nice.
I hope they bring back the naked French man that blows himself up when commanded to do something.
It's a freaking concept sketch. Slow news day or what?
Are you opposed to poultry? I appologize, my vegan brother. :(Quote:

IMO Age of Empires = Best RTS series.
Nope, that honor goes to Warcraft... the Age series gets second place.Quote:

AOE is great. Too many fucking expansions though.
This is what I was thinking, plus Dawn of War.Quote:

Looks like your HL2 PC-upgrade might last you a year this time.
This is comparable to most next gen teasers I have seen. Pretty impressive.
wow...this looks really aswome.
Ive owned alot of the versions of AOE, i love the campaign modes, and the multiplayer. This looks promising. I like :D
Looks like you were wrong, to me.Quote:

Not really. The first image in the thread looks like a drawing (concept). Look at all the new images, that's in-game engine.Quote:

This game looks amazing. I love how they retained the look of Age of Mythology while jacking everything up considerably.
I did not upgrade for Doom 3. I did not upgrade for Half-Life 2. I just might upgrade for this game. Especially since Ive moved away from FPSes and to more RTSes.
AOE2 was one of the few RTS games I enjoyed.
This looks amazing, I really hope I can get my new computer before it comes out.
The graphics seem to be getting .. BETTER! Pure sex.

I'm not a huge AOE fan, but I love it because this pushes everyone else to make better looking games.
Demo. Yes, demo. Bitches.
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo.../aoe3trial.exe

downloading now.
I dl'ed the demo, but it wont work. Says Direct3D initialization failed. Anyone know how to get around this?
Oh shit they dropped it today? I'm on it.

I want a new computer. I should try cranking options up to see how high I can go and still be able to play.
I've always sucked at this series though, Blizzard RTS are more my thing.
I HAVE TO PLAY THIS. Why the hell are they still making circular squares instead of circles? EVerything looks great and then you see this large circle with 4 sides and a winding sidewalk made of straight, clearly defined straights. Nitpicky.
Can we kill Indians in this game?
I played the first two levels, didn't finish the second though but it seems like a pretty good game.
for the person that couldnt get it to run, i found a solution for it, i had the same problem. it has to do with people running on widescreen moniters.
it at least worked for me.
go to my documents, my games, aoe 3, and go into the start up folder and make a file called user.cfg and put this in it.
xres=1024
it will make it start in that resolution.
if that dosent work, heres somthing else somone tried.
Go to the main AOE3 folder, open the folder "users," open the file titled "New profile" in a text document, press ctrl+f and enter "Window" into the search window. It should highlight the line you need to change. Where it says "false" type in "true."
i hate strategy games but this sure is pretty. does it use physics in the gameplay? i know one upcoming strategy game does for sure.
I don't think so, but seeing an infantry man get hit by a cannonball is fucking hysterical.Quote:
