RE: Are RTS Games Dying These Days?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Age of Empires 4 just came out, and there's no big buzzword going around the internet about it.
This surprised me a lot, when it came out, I thought it would explode in popularity and I would see it at the top for several weeks because, it's age of empire! However I feel like people's excitement didn't last long with it.
I love the genre, it's one of my favorites and what you mention about the hardware limitation is just what has been holding me back, I'm waiting a bit to upgrade my old PC to be able to play the great titles of the genre, like the Warhammer saga for example, personally I consider a pleasure to see those hundreds of enemies facing my small troops haha.

Well as I've said, the genre needs to change, big time. I think after that, people will start taking it seriously.
I remember there being some hype regarding the announcement then a long wait about having any news other than the logo...and then when that came out, I stopped hearing much about it. I don't know how much it advances in civilizations, but I feel like it might have hit a similar problem to early Call of Duty games where, after getting that far in history (getting to the colonial times in AOE3), they might have to retread some more history instead of having material to go on forward.
