Black and white looks really sad

[AgustinAbadi]

why change the images to black and white?
they look horrible.

They did the same thing to Age of Empires II: HD Edition and labeled it as Retired. They might be doing the same thing here to not confuse future players when buying Age of Mythology.

It's anti-consumer practices. ♥♥♥♥ em.

[TensionX]

[Pano]

Looks bad

[Corinarh]

They piss on the old customers.

I had to go to the forum cause I thought I was tripping! I guess they changed it when AoM retold was released? I get why they did it but it does look strange and sad. The store page I don't care about but they didn't have to change the library bg.

(I guess it's the same picture but you get what I mean)

I paid for the game, give me my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ banner like it was.

[Mekagojira]

Wow, just because a sh1tty remake was released, they make the original game's banner black and white, as if it was obsolete or something? That is so stupid

Not buying the soulless remake, btw. I'll be forever playing this version when I'm in the mood for some AoM, thank you very much

They must think it's real funny to do it. I am changing that back with Steamgriddb. I am not a fan of artwork getting switched out in my library. Thank goodness for custom arts, but it's annoying to have it changed in the first place. lol

Go here, download your favorite choices, and back them up to a folder specifically for custom arts to be used on Steam. Just right-click on any image you want to change to a different artwork in your library.

Actually, forget the default art. There are way nicer options available. I always adjust my library to my own preference. I even put some images in Photoshop and made edits on my own in the past.

However, for this fix, I just downloaded the best quality to my eyes available for a nice background that could give me the best of both worlds, and then I later after adjusted the logo size and position. I think it looks nicer like this. The old image is cropped in an awkward view, or at least from what I see of the gods being cutoff. The default background just feels seriously zoomed in. This other image gets rid of that, so many thanks to those providing images and edits of their own through Steamgriddb. It's nice to preserve artwork there as well.

I think the image has a grainy effect going on with it to help give a feeling of age. That already does enough for me. No black and white needed, thanks! ;)

Yep exactly. Let's make it look like crap in my library to try and make sure anyone who looks at it in the store sees that it's old and is pushed towards buying the new one

In addition to my previous post, be sure to zoom into the images, so you can see how blurry they might look and for any cropped differences. A more open scene often appeals to me.

One of these with "Extended Edition" is more cropped and blurry-looking to me up close, so I prefer the non-extended edition.
