1. Omens | Fall of the Trident | Age of Mythology: Retold 

"This errand will not take long" yeah sure Arkantos... sure ...

Not sure how I feel about the voice acting being changed. It might be due to nostalgia though... Either way glad to see you play the campaign!

Athena is the godess of wisdom, so she already knows what arkantos is going to say. Thats why she interrupt him in the initial dialogues.

Ornlu on the AoM campaign...these are strange times.

I can't help but notice that Atlantis isn't located in the Atlantic in anymore. Not really a fan of that.

I like the accent but they miss the theatrical exaggerations that give a mythical feel to the dialogur

Hopefully there'll be a mod to replsce the voice acting with the old ones

I can't believe I lived long enough to see this.

The original Arkantos sounded like George Washington from AOE3.

I have a bad feeling about this...

What a Nostalgia.. Ornlu could you please make the music a bit louder adn the battle sound less loud? The music is as nostalgic as the game

omg thank you so much for playing my fav game from my infancy

Have you repaired your buildings? The buildings repair themselves without villagers repairing them.

OG Arkantos hit different I guess, maybe it's nostalgia

Finally ornlu is back. Plz do a lot of aoe 2 de custom campaigns

Prostagma

Arkantos look strange

The original voice of Arkantos was quite powerful. Nevertheless AoM old or new, I will enjoy playing it and watching it 😎👍

I honestly think the change in the voice acting makes this a pass for me by itself, currently. The original Athena VA is, genuinely, iconic, and the other VAs almost all gave performances filled with character. These look to be as flat and directionless as, well...as the AoE2DE vocal performances, unfortunately--I suspect Gargarensis and Ajax will REALLY suffer from this, and Arkantos already just doesn't have the same fire (look at the the gulf in delivery for the "This errand will not take long", as an example--the original Theocrat also gave a performance that helped support later plot developments on re-play). It genuinely seems like first-time script reads, and that once again "accurate accents" are being prioritized over quality. (Which is also a bit silly because, you know, Atlantis never existed--and the other languages likely sounded different given we're dealing with over two millennia ago.) I could look past the *severe* downgrade in performance quality in AoE2DE enough to still buy it because of everything else on offer, but it doesn't seem like that will apply here. Pretty disappointing to have IMO worse art and worse acting two decades later. (I do appreciate the video from Ornlu, to be clear, and will keep checking in to see if somehow later scenarios pick it up or add something sufficiently worthwhile. But I felt like sharing my reaction to the actual game on offer as well, and to my own disappointment, it's pretty firmly negative. I fundamentally disagree with the management/development choices seemingly on display here.)

The more I see of the remaster, the less I want to buy it. Some very strange decisions when it comes to the campaign/story, which was the best part of the game for me

Im still happy about the remake but the speech bubbles do look cheap.

I plan on getting this on gamepass when it become available

A small errand that shouldn't take long. If only Arkantos knew just the kind of rabbit hole he is about to sail into.

Yes, there was a town center in the original campaign mission.

petroboli are more like stone throwers from AOE1 than mangonels.

Here immediately 🎉

Graphics look great. As for the Cutscenes they seem to be bit off but I am hoping in the final product they get fixed.

Holy shit they changed the voices? 0% chance I'll be buying this Edit: and they got rid of the world map for campaign selection? WTF?

3:16 the Kraken doesn't actually grab the soldier, a desync in VFX. Not sure if they'll fix that.

I honestly hoped there were cinematics like the ones in Warcraft 3, sigh. at least they could redo the voices for the campaign with new actors

Oh mans!

I replayed AoM campaign like a year or 2 ago. Im not really into multiplayer. kind of sad now that it is the same camppaign :(

Original one have TC but not on this one.

Athena sounds Spanish. I do miss the old voice though - there was something....about it.

The color palette is a bit worse and the portraits in the cutscenes look like Ai's work, but overall it looks good so far.

I hope that if god powers are on cool down that they rework ceasefire. Otherwise it will ruin mp

What is your pc configuration sir?

Everyone is having a Greek accent. Definitely feels authentic.

Youpii

I don't mind giving the characters a Greek or corresponding accent, but regardless, this voice acting is clearly inferior... The delivery of the lines lacks confidence and pacing, feels kinda like students reading a play.

Is the Tale of the Dragon campaign included?

You gonna continue the DS AoE2 campaigns?

nah man this VA ain't it. There was so much more emotion expressed in the original

Dang Athena looks gooood 😆 but woman, can you not interrupt the man while he's speaking pls?

Ugh, same issue with the voices that AoE2 DE had. I don't know why they decided to change a beloved set of VAs again. I'm not playing these games for authentic accented voices, I like the vibes of the old ones. I can't believe they didn't take any feedback from AoE2 DE where people complained at how unemotive the new VAs were, and instead did the same here.

i hope for a roman civ... and that voic acting is hard to get used to :I

Jesus this voice acting is terrible. And i'm not talking about the interruptions, just the voice tones irks me off. The original at least felt more serious. Athena's original voice was more melancholic, showing worry for a champion fighing his past in his dreams, a woman worried about a wary and worn down man. This one? Feels disconnected and condescending... It doesn't fit.

Wait what, why did they change voices? Omg, Arkantos, Athena and basically everyone was so characteristic and amazing... I knew something's gonna disappoint me, what a waste

The graphics are disappointing to me. Yes it looks like AOM which is good, but to me the graphics update is almost on the same level as the one of Aoe2:HD.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THEY CHANGED THE VOICE ACTORS

Man.. I'll admit I'm not that much into age of mythology, mostly because I simply didn't play it much and I mostly stuck with AoE2 but the quality in display is.. not enticing me to play XD Even with your commentary and all.

Voice acting sounds a little bland compared to the original IMO but the graphics and such look amazing

Overall, I'm real hype for Retold, but the voice acting is not doing it for me. I do appreciate the Greekness, but the VAs aren't selling me. The inflections are mostly off (although Arkantos is doing a pretty good job). For instance, Krios doesn't sound old or wise

First seconds in, already not a fan of voice acting 😢

Hmmm...I'm not feeling the new voiceovers. The Theocrat especially sounds weak.

It's Kay-mos, not Kaa-mos 😂 That's the canon pronunciation 😂 I do not like Arkantos' voice at all lol

The voiceacting lacks mutch spirit.

very bad very bad remaster

If this was free for original owners I'd play it, otherwise...

The voice acting already makes this a pass for me.

The voice acting, though well done, is not as good as the original. Something can be well done but not fit. IE putting a yellow wooden table in a room themed around black and white. The table itself could be phenominal, but it doesnt fit in the room. Thats how I feel about the voice acting. Athena doesnt sound like a god(dess) and Arkantos doesnt have the vitriol he sounds like he has in the original. Overall disappointed so far. As for the look, it both looks amazing and terrible at the same time. The backgrounds and environments are great if not too bright. The models are kind of just...low quality? They're clearly nice but the contrast of the portrait and the models in the cutscenes is immersion breaking and makes the models look weird
