Age Of Empires II HD Is Coming To Steam, And We’re “Reeeaady”

Gaming isn’t quite cyclical, thought it would seem that the big trend this winter is to remake old-school games from the 90′s for newer platforms. EA just released a brand new version of a personal childhood favorite, SimCity, and now it would appear that Age Of Empires II HD is coming to Steam’s platform.

Steam is an online game seller that acts quite a bit like an App Store for PC game titles. The company has evolved past the desktop to mobile apps, as well as offering Windows non-gaming apps, but remains focused on bringing the best of gaming to the cloud.

It's my favorite as well. I've spent hours upon hours playing this when I was younger.

[PoSTedUP]

yeah i know right, even after the other ones released, And after the devs got canned... i need to get another copy its been at least a year since i touched it.

One of my favorites as well. Seeing this trailer had me reminiscing about the hours I put into this game. I don't PC game anymore, but I'm glad to see it's getting an HD makeover. Well deserved.

[PoSTedUP]

agreed!! :D

[Hitman0769]

hell yeah i love this game. i can't wait!!

[ScubaSteve1]

so then is this kind of like civilization or much better then civilization

AoE2 is more of an RTS, Cvilization being something different entirely.

Depending on the price of this HD remaster I can't recommend it enough. Definitely one of the better PC games MS released.

Fuck Halo. THIS, is the best game Microsoft ever released

[BigStef71]

[TheModernKamikaze]

[banjadude]

[aviator189]

I want an HD remake of the First game more than this but this is going to be awesome.

Played this game for years.

It was great, but Starcraft was even better. I'm more excited about the Heart of Swarm launch that will happen in a couple of days.
