Age of Empires Xbox console debut confirmed for 2023

sweet

Shame its AoE2 which is like a 150hr completion compared to AoE1 or AoE3 which can be done in like 10

Hopefully it does not have a separate achievement list, because some of the achievements in this game are very hard with mouse and keyboard; with a controller, they'd be hair pulling messes

That's cool, but I'm gonna stick to playing it on PC. No doubt it'll have KB+M support as I can't imagine playing it competently with a controller

Yeah, it must surely have KB+M otherwise some of the cheevs (such as the Alaric X castles in 30 mins one) are likely nigh on impossible.

In light of it likely having KB+M support though, I don't really get what having it on console adds in terms of value.

I hate games like this on a controller. So Keyboard and Mouse support is a must.

Mike Langlois said:It's alot longer but that's a good thing, shouldn't be allowed to bastardise this game with cheats. You have enough games you can complete with CC's already this one is not tyvm

Always loved these games, but unsure what the gameplay experience will be on a console. I will definitely give it a try.

EKaffeinated said:The old PS2 release was awful, but most of that was because of the limitations of the console. On a Series, it should run fine. Playing with a controller would probably be shitty, but it'll presumably have kb+m support.

Bolter Elite said:It's AoE2, you could run it on a potato. The minimum requirements are a Core 2 Duo, 4GB of RAM and a graphics card from 2010

FlopsyTheRabbit said:Haha sure buddy, you're so clueless.

Have you ever played a Post Imp 8 player MP game? Even modern hardware lags.

But whatever you say

Great news

Age of Mythology retold is coming.
AOE2 is coming Jan 31

Would be nice if they would release them physically as well

Please please please have KBM support.

Finally! Since before the release of AoE4, I commented that not having it on Xbox is pure stupidity or laziness. Are the controls problematic and difficult to adapt? Remember the music games of the last decade that put restrictions on peripherals and forced the purchase of at least one guitar with colored buttons... Why not do the same with kb+m? Honestly, not because they didn't come up with this idea while studying how to make the controller work, but I won't complain as long as the rumor is true. I will certainly spend a few hours playing around with it.
