PC Gamer speak with the CEO of Gas Powered Games, Chris Taylor about the challenges of taking the reins on a series as revered as Age of Empires.
Chris Taylor was once the founder and CEO of Gas Powered Games, responsible for the the Supreme Commander series and the first 2 Dungeon Siege games. Bought over by Wargaming back in early 2013 to prevent a closure due to financial difficulties, Chris Taylor recently announced he has left the company after more than 3 years, with no games shipped or officially announced.
Chris Taylor Xbox could use a creative mind or new blood for anyone one of their studios , maybe look into it .
I thought wargaming had bought the rights to Total Anniilation and Chris was working on a much needed reboot or sequel. Chris, please do that, even if it doesnt have the name. Surpreme Commander was good, but TA was better, bring back downloadable units and that same gameplay.
Game Tangents | In the news this week, EA is found having released deceptive ads in England, and a Finnish game tournament reverses its ban on female competitors. Also, we talk a little more Wii U games as Wii U month continues.
With the recent closure of Age of Empires Online, the future of the Age of Empires franchise doesn't look good as no game in the series has been announced.
But why is this happening? Microsoft said that PC gaming was important to them yet one of their most important IP's seems to be stopped
I am sure PC Gamers can understand that Microsoft has got their hands full with trying to keep the Xbox One from not dieing a painful death.
But PC division is still under Microsoft Games Studio.
It's getting the love it deserves. The re release of 2 HD is a sign of Age of Empires 4 in development.
I'm hoping for it, and can't wait.
I do, but I honestly miss a lot Age of Empires. A fourth entry in the series wouldn't hurt to anyone.
I don't want anybody except Ensemble Studios Making a New Age of Empires game.
They don't exist anymore though.
If you could get a core group of original people from Ensemble I'd be all for it.
Age of Empires 1 HD complete remake needs to happen.
Like rebuilt from the ground up.
After AOE Online, I don't think anyone is holding out for AOE to "win PC gaming back"
