I think the game looks pretty amazing so far. I still can't believe it's been over 15 years since AoE3 launched!
I am excited for this game. Great franchise in the hands of a great company in Relic. Looks promising.
Sorry but if i have to describe that gameplay footage - poor, 2003/4 quality, underwhelming, needs work, 4/10.
I'm super stoked for the game for sure, but some of the animations are a bit concerning tbh. Either way, it's a new Age of Empires game FINALLY and as long as they nail the head on the RTS gameplay we all love while introducing some new gameplay mechanics, I'll be more than happy!
