!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

You could actually get laser boys, nuke gunners, and machine gun cars in the first title too!

Wait, what? I'm a wololo guy who got set with the second game years ago so I didn't know the first one has that.

yeah, in aoe1 there's a laser gun guy ("photon man"), a car that shoots rockets, archers that look like trees when standing still and can walk on water, and a catapult that fires cows

mind: blown

I need to look into that. Is that in original and how it translates to remasters?

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

did they ever remaster the first game? don't think it's in the sequels anyway

DE did cover it too.

On August 19, 2019, Age of Empires: Definitive Edition re-released with a new client on both the Windows Store and Steam, with cross-play available between the two platforms. Existing Windows Store players need to manually download the new client in order to receive game updates and multiplayer compatibility. At the same time, Age of Empires: Definitive Edition has also become available through Xbox Game Pass for PC.

IIRC AoE2 had like three remasters: HD one, DE and something else. AoE had at least one of those.
