Waiting for that release....

Well the screen shots are just great. Waiting eagerly for the game to arrive. Guess the game would be very heavy on the system. BTW Microsoft had released Rise of Nations only last year. Another game on same genre so soon. Anyways good for us. Looks like that the year 2005 is going to be great for gaming.

Great Screenshots
I was waiting for this game from a long time. Hope it does not demand too high system requirements.

BIg Huge Games did a good job of Rise Of Nations.However I suppose Age Of Empires is a trademark of Ensemble Studios.

Gamespy has an article on what is being shown of the upcoming RTS game Age of Empires 3 at the Game Developers Conference.
"One way to have buildings explode would be to have the art team custom-design the disintegration of each structure. But that would be time consuming, and after all that work players would be disappointed by the exact same explosion every time. Instead, Ensemble Studios licensed the Havok physics engine. The art team cut each building up into logical pieces of debris. Then, when a structure gets slammed by a cannonball, chunks of it part way (leaving ruined holes and broken slats underneath) and fly through the air. No two explosions are the same."

Thats intresting Sourabh. I would love to see how havok engine is incoporated into a game like AoE 3.
As for the system requirement, I am sure it will be around and infact more then RoN.

For India i think it will release only in 2006!!
But, microsoft is doing lots of promo's in India like "War of a Million". So, may be it will release sooner.
I Hope it releases here the same time as the rest of the world

Don't expet them to be low... Coz it is utilising all the PS functions and is definately gonna be heavy on sys requirements...
Just look at the screenshots...

most strategic games these days are heavy on graphics but stratgy gamers dont want it especially in india what they really want is better gameplay and new maps.
I also buy such games only for that ,so microsoft can atleast provide a scaled down graphics version of this game with the same gameplay so that aoe fans with budget cards can also play them (aom and aoe2 graphics are desent enough)

The websites say it releases around November December this year but I think it'll be late to arrive with a better look and better Ai

Lol it really roks to see those screen shot. But i don't think the game play view will be like tht. They just release such screenies to attract gamers.
