| | Age of Empires II Screenshots now coming - Site News
Posted by: Suleyman_Eisenhower on 02-02-2010 @ 23:14 | | | This News Item has been viewed 206 times! | Age of Empires 3 News | Due to the lack of submitted screenshots for Age of Empires 3, I will be posting screenshots of Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings and the Conquerors expansion on the site. If further AoE3 screenshots are submitted, they will take precedence over AoE2 screens that I will upload. I plan to follow this with screenshots of the original Age of Empires and Age of Mythology.
Because Ensemble Studios has closed down, I hope that these screens of Ensemble's greatest games hold a special place in the heart of devoted AoE fans. They are remnants of a glorious past where the AoE series defined the RTS genre. Hopefully, as Ensemble has split up into several smaller companies, one day we will see the AoE series revived.

They just move some stuff around, they didn't change how any of it looked, and they still didn't fix the voting... So pretty much they failed on all levels 
And they didn't finish the multi-year-project of member options.

| | The Game Developer Archives: 'Postmortem: Ensemble's Age of Empires' - Articles
Posted by: Suleyman_Eisenhower on 09-06-2009 @ 19:05 | | | This News Item has been viewed 4383 times! | Age of Empires 3 News | Age of Empires is a game that has truly had its time in the sun. Ensemble Studios reveals that Age of Empires was meant to be a game of truly epic proportions. If you were one of the players who had bought the first Age of Empires more than a decade ago and still relish all of the games of the series, read this article. Here's an excerpt:
Quote:
I had an experience in a local computer store recently that caused me to burst out laughing. I had stopped to self-indulgently admire the top-ten PC games display when I overheard the following exchange between two young men:
"What do you think about this one, Age of Empires?" wondered the first.
His companion shot back, “Aww, the Borg at Microsoft just combined Warcraft and Civilization to cash in on these kind of games.”
Always eager to boost our sales, I took this opportunity to tell the young men how AoE wasn’t the creative product of a giant corporation, but of a small group of talented people living right in their own backyard.
For us, Age of Empires was not only a game of epic proportions, it was an epic journey for a small band of people determined to turn an idea into a real game company. Along the way, we laughed, we cried, we consumed pizza and caffeine, and we learned a great deal about making games.

Because its an original PC game and going onto a console would suck like Unreal Torunment 3
My answer was "NO" btw
I answered no because I already own the game, 
No. Because I don't own a console, don't plan on getting one and don't plan on ever allowing one inside my home.
PC's RULE
i voted no i dont like consoles at all it would be rubish u r totally right anazoda same here.
For the PC!
i wouldnt mind getting because it is a good game and being a consale player as well, i think both platforms pc and consale would be alot a fun.
First of all, changing from a computer to a ps3 or Xbox game would eliminate some great features. Second of all, I don't own a ps3 or Xbox 360.
you guys need to get with it. GET A CONSLOE!!!. i wouldnt buy it cus they would ruin it for 360/PS3
Every game takes a risk to transfer from systems, but I think this game would lose, as it would lose my ever so loved modding features and it's just not the right kind of game.
