Age of Empires IV wants to appeal to both casual and hardcore players

Coming off three well-received Age of Empires: Definitive Edition remakes, the iconic series has more momentum behind it than it arguably ever has.

How about appealing to console players.

Sciurus_vulgaris1111d ago

A potential console port with keyboard and mouse support. Complex RTS games simply aren’t feasible without a keyboard and mouse.

Jin_Sakai1111d ago

Halo Wars worked fine with a controller. I’m sure they could simplify the commands to work with a controller. Regardless, kb&m will always the the best experience for RTS games.

Vegamyster1110d ago

Halo Wars was built with a controller in mind and was pretty streamlined RTS experience, the Age of Empire games were always more on the complicated side with the PC audience in mind, it would take a lot of simplification to work with a controller well.

@Vegamyster

Nailed every point.

annoyedgamer1110d ago

Just get a PC. Consoles are a dying breed

XbladeTeddy1110d ago

Maybe they want to just concentrate on PC players right now? Not everything has to about catering to everyone.

anast1110d ago

I'm a console gamer, but I prefer to play my strategy stuff on PC. There a more options, settings and mods on PC. This is good for strategy games, it's almost necessary.

Halo Wars was built from the ground up for console, not ported. HUGE difference.

King_Noctis1110d ago

It is possible that this might come to console eventually just like Flight Simulator. However, this one might take a while.

pat_11_51109d ago

They sort of hinted that the game could come to Xbox at some point.

name a PlayStation RTS game that can compete with this.. I'll wait

Adisoftcafe1110d ago

This is not a console game. Stop this console war nonsense!

RedDevils1110d ago

Calm down kid. Come back here when you start playing rts games first. Oh btw get a PC to gaming it on too.

Wrex3691110d ago

Land the game on PC solidly first, then and only then can you begin to develop the console version. The roots are on PC, get that right and secure it there. Then you'll have room to move.

Cunnra1110d ago

Age of empires 3 Definitive edition... the game that decides the word “Colonial” was too offensive for a game entirely based on Colonization.

Also why rename the Native American civs to their indigenous names, but still just refer to China/Japan/India/Russia/etc. Just comes of as patronising.

Review - Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition (Xbox Series S/X) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Leo Faria: "It doesn’t matter if you’re playing it on a PC or on an Xbox. Sadly, Age of Empires IV feels like a massive step back when compared to the immense levels of fun, customization and depth offered by Age II, III, or Mythology. Playing it on a controller just adds an unnecessary layer of complexity towards the gameplay, even though I still commend the developers for their impressive efforts. I doubt anyone else would have been able to pull off such task. With that being said, I can’t recommend playing this particular version, or Age of Empires IV as a whole for that matter. Just stick to its much better predecessors."

myfathersbastard246d ago

I’ve been playing it. They mapped it pretty well. After the tutorial and an hour of play on my own I’ve got it down pretty quick.

esherwood246d ago

Sucks I’m probably selling my Xbox after hearing about the social credit score bs.

shadowknight203246d ago

Why are people disagreeing? Social scredit scores is full blown communism/dictatorship/ George orweliian. Yall some sick people who really makes the outlook of the future Bleak. Good for you esherwood for taking a stand.

esherwood246d ago

chicken_in_the_corn246d ago
