@@napolien1310 I'm a huge fan of AoE2 and its opening cinematic, but the animation in the AoM intro is wayyyy cleaner. Plus the art looks nicer. Makes sense as AoM was released a couple years later, but the difference is very noticeable.
The scene when Zeus heals his soldiers and they scream in glory and all the will to fight returns is so epic, and they don't even needed to put a word on their mouths to demonstrate their will to fight again, how can a cutscene from a game that is 20 years old be so epic?
Everyone chill… unfortunately it’s just going to be a remastered version of AoM. Which, I’m all for, but it’s not like an actual sequel. Just wanted to keep everyone’s expectations reasonable.
@@gnarlynicholasreviews Isn't the Extended edition already a remaster? the Steam version looks better than what I remember from the original non-steam 2002 version, it even supports 1080p resolutions and has slightly better graphics than the original. I don't see why would they want to make a Remaster of an already Remastered game, sounds like a cash grab then.
I can’t decide what the best part of the game was The multiplayer The campaign The map editor This game was just as a good as if not better than AoE2 and we all know it!!
Aoe2 multiplayer was miles ahead tho. The town center system in aom together with the hard pop cap makes every game a stance still until somebody gets an advantage, and then it's full snowball. But the single player if aom will be in my heart forever
The map Editor. But actually everything was great. In the dwarven campaign when you realize Loki tricked you with folstag Banner. 10/10 Also the infotext of each Unit. This game got me interested in Mythology.😊
This is the only game which fulfilled my chilhood dream.....and made my life worth it.....thanks you aom team........thanks for making my childhood....a happier one.......u made my life complete
Best thing about aom was that it was actually educational - in mythology, culture and language from various countries. Would love to see Celtic, Indian and Japanese mythology added to the new game.
They might, given AoE 2's success. But if they do, two things I persobally want: 1- *redo the entirety of the Tale of the Dragon campaign!* The maps, the textures, even the stories could use a lot of tweaks and improvement. 2 - maybe 1 or 2 new Civilizations with their Myth Units and God Powers, maybe Persians or Babylonians. This one is tough, though, because a lot of their aspects were already incorporated into either the Greeks or the Egyptians.
There is a god power in the game that turns your soldiers into myth unit killing machines. However, it is only available to followers of Oranos and Kronos - the titans banished behind the gates. How ironic.
Both those scenes are absolute beauties but I think for me it has to be the first scene of Kronos rising up from behind the hill, his awesome size and the sound as he’s pulling a meteor down from the sky. What a game.
As a kid, this intro always seemed so epic to me. I still remember exactly how I felt. The flashbacks even scared me a bit. But then Zeus gave them strength! Like a dream. I loved it.
Ever have one of those days when you go to the museum, reliving ancient wars with each exhibit, and then the entire museum just spontaneously decides to cave in, leaving you mere moments to escape?
I Love that the Intro Portrays the "Backstory" and the hint of Poseidon being the Bad Guy. The Intro Shows the war between the olympians and the Titans in a way. Kronos gets defeated by Zeus and is locked in the tartaros. Then the Temple gets Destroyed, Arkantos gets helped by Athena and flees. But poseidons Trident falls and nearly Hits him. That was on purpose. He wanted Arkantos to die. The Main campaign in this Game was called "The Fall of the Trident" (at least thats the direct translation from German). It is all shown in the intro, but you only ever realize that after you beat the campaign.
@@AakashSharma-le8pm Even though that my be true, i still think it is him. The hair, the armour and the fact that he is helped by Athena, and nearly killed by the Trident is (at least for me) quite convincing evidence to assume that this man is supposed to be Arkantos
This is an amazing game intro, not only it's cool looking and epic, but also it tells the context you need to know before you start the game's campaign. It's kind of like the prologue of the Lord of the Rings
Honestly looking at this intro, I think the mechanic that the Atlanteans have for their Heroic units was either prototyped and shown in the intro, or was inspired by the intro, because literally, human units getting decimated by Myth units, only for them to get a blessing from the gods, and then charge right in and destroy the Myth Units.
Man..... The nostalgia is real this was the second game i ever played when I was a child and this got me into all age of empire games 😭i wanna play this again sooooo bad
I do remember mom trying this game during my child hood and I watched my mom play it and I did want to try it whenever but never got to I hope this game gets a remaster
@@StormGardenHedgefleet i don't know if you will see this comment one day, but a definitive edition has been confirmed, it will be done after the De of Age of empire III So much potential, i have a lot of hope for this new edition, even more than for AoEIV ..
I remember when I discovered this game in middle school, and I was reading Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus at the same time, man I was completely dying for ancient Greek mythology Crazy times!
Y'know I've never actually played any of the age of empire(s) games , but AOM here has always struck me as an immensely interesting concept for both a video game and setting! Not just because Age of mythology has all that magic, mysticism, and monsters, no it's the mortal characters as well, very well acted and written. (for an OLD rts that is..) I love the idea of *certain badass mortals* (heck, even quite a few not so "BA" but still great characters would be sweet too) being blessed with awsome strength and powers by gods and spirits alike that fight for land, treasures, honor, glory, and holding back the tides of chaos when the need arises, with vast armies comprising valiant soldiers, beasts, mythical creatures, mechanical constructs, and other assorted units at their command in the ever shifting fields of battle and conquest! So Lately it's made me wonder if Age of mythology could make a major comback! (I think a decent number of people still play it though) This theoretical game could be in the form of an GM run mmorpg. (I've also never actually played any GM mmorpgs) Kinda like "second life", meets AOM, preferably with no set classes and more like an assortment of professions, skills, trades, and yes "archetypes" (as in which gods are your chosen patrons) and "favors", as in what gods have chosen to smile apone you. *ex.* Say you've chosen *Athena as your primary patron* of sowing because you what to specialize in cloth making, but you've gained *the favor of Poseidon* because your aquatic designs appeal to him! This could mean that while a Athena may help you progress faster in the art of sowing, Poseidon may show his favor by planting you an enchanted olive tree, with its olives you could make olive oil of impeccable quality to which you could use to supplement income as well as but more thread for your craft. With such blessings you could soon have your name know throughout (mythical) Greece and maybe beyond in other lands, expand your business, *ofcourse just as you can gain the gods favor you could also lose it* so remember to show the gods proper respect and they shall reward you. That said the gods themselves can be fickle at times, prone to mood swings, *even gods can have bad days* were they don't want to be bothered... Anyway, enough about just gods, I'd also love the idea of practically all mortals posing "divine qualities", yes you heard it right *contrary to what most think of as "traditional" fantasy worlds-were magic is this rare thing only a few can do-in classical mythologies you didn't have to be a specified "caster" of some capacity in order to do cool stuff,* rather each person had their set of natural talents or *"inate magic" they could do, to which they could refine over a lifetime.* Then there's the mythical creatures themselves, mortals could regularly converse with or interact with this beings, even fight them, infact in many stories great families, royal bloodlines and the like would even trace their ancestry to some of these mythical creatures. (a means of explaining why they're in charge, divine right, etc.) That's all of the ideas I've got so far, but I just love mythology and hope someday soon that massive multiplayer online games that are based around real world mythologies become a reality!
AgeofGuns Ensemble is. o more cause Microsoft wanted to get more profits from their games. After ensemble has been cancelled, the games are still in active development, at last that is good.
Me and my brothers still play this game to this day, even my nephew loves it. We really like to create our own world and story in the scenarios. It's better compared to the age of empires 3 game.
