Looks like mobile game (Please delay)

[XWinsus]

Cartoonish aoe game. is this a joke? Worse animations, poor design, mediocre effects. What is this? Please delay it and give us a proper game.

Just look at the arrows :( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTaCrP_U4ao

It looks painfully bad.
Feels like Halo Infinite again.

Look at the first trailer. They downgraded the graphics

How old are people when they complain about the 'cartoonish' graphics? I understand that when you are young, you want more realistic type of games. I'm 30(Week from now and I'll be 31) and don't care how a game looks as long as I find it fun. Just curious is all.

[RAZORLIGHT]

It isn't the cartoonish style, ffs.

Look at the details of the units, the arrows, the fire effects, the animations it looks super unfinished.

i am 31, been playing since Age 1 and RTS in general.

is this a remastered of we waz kangz n ....?

ok i was concerned now I know this thread was a troll because that looked fantastic to me lol (looking into it deeper it looks ALOT like stronghold warlord like mention below, i think delay is inbound microsoft will get it right)

[Kitty💜Kang]

the huge arrows looks lame.. otherwise it could use some tuning, I smell a delay xD

[RAZORLIGHT]

Age IV looks more like Stronghold Warlords which is kinda ugly as well.
Difference is, Stronghold Warlords was made with a seriously dated engine from a very small team with low budget.

@PrinceXavieR i HOPE for a delay.

lol, looks good to me.

You don't want super realistic graphics for a game like this. It makes it very hard to tell units apart. Just look at WC3:Reforged, it has technically "better graphics", but the game plays worse because of them, its hard to tell what is happening when the action gets going and whatnot.

I've seen mentions of the 'large arrows', this is again, done on purpose so when you're playing you can clearly see what is happening.

What is this,2005 game??

[Cloxyme]

It looks like Age Of Empires Online very similar, Its disappointing though with the way they go in terms of art direction it does look like a mobile game and cartoonist style again it relates to Age Of Empires Online that one has a very similar art direction, hopefully the game play and mechanics make up for it

[MEGA_N00B]

Somehow age of empires 2 looks better and more realistic.
More I see and learn about this game more I lose interest in it.

Looks good to you?
Compare it to Age 3 Definitive Edition, a game from 15 years ago and tell me it looks good.

WC3 Reforged is a terrible example, compare Age 4 to the all of the Age of Empires Definitive Editions.

Blizzard is dead and i fear, Relic is doomed as well.

15 years since AoE3: DE came out? That went quick.

Some animations look very bad, unit textures are really low res and why are weapons so huge??? This makes the game look like a joke.

Other than that, i like that you can finally put units on walls, the ambush tactics and the base packing feature for the mongols, makes me believe factions will be more unique.
