Anyone gonna buy the AoE2 HD version from Steam?

Ventak on 09/03/2013 - 13:35

Pre-purchase price is $17.99, 4-pack is $59.99, AoE Legacy Bundle (includes AoE2 HD & AoE3 Complete) is $27.99. The HD version includes the base game & The Conquerers.

New features are (as stated from the AoE2 HD game page):
-Steam workshop integration for user created content (custom maps/campaigns)
-Re-mastered for high resolution displays 1080p+
-Steamworks features: Achievements, Leaderboards, Matchmaking (multiplayer works through Steam I'm presuming) and Cloud support
-Enhanced visual engine with improved terrain textures, water, fire and ambient lighting effects

Maybe AoE1 & AoM will be getting a HD remake next?

Here's a taste of nostalgia for former/current AoE2 players:

    I wont be. Best news is the confirmation that Games for Windows LIVE is dead.

    Loved the original but trying to figure out if its worth shelling out $18 when my original copy is still here.

    Damn. I resent rebuying this but loved the multiplayer in the msn gaming zone days. It might be worth it just to have busy multiplayer lobbies…..

    Im waiting to see how the multiplayer pans out and if they remove LAN mode from the game.

    If they remove LAN its only worth 5 bucks .
    If it still has LAN then Ill buy it for 10 bucks , since I have the old disc copy
