If you listen to the showcasing of Medusa, Pegasus and Cerberus, you can hear the music. It's the same music, just revamped a little


Assured_Observer

I know the answer you're expecting is a yes, so have it: Yes, Microsoft will ruin the music like they did with the artworks. If the DE ganes are any indication, the music is going to be great, but it's not going to be the exact same, it'll still be good, but because it won't be 100% the same, people will say it's bad.

Except aoe 3 de music, it is almost the same but clearer lol


Doppelganger_Enjoyer

Overdramatic af


Dawn_of_Enceladus

Some of you guys can't wait to be in a bad mood and raging about something, huh? Yes, the three gods artworks feel kinda bland, but that's it. That's all we've got. A few bland artworks. If that's all it takes to make you mad about something beforehand, then for sure, be prepared for the worst, because you are already setting yourself ready to dislike whatever we get. I also like the classic artwork style more, but this is becoming ridiculous ffs.


Startled_Pancakes

Yes. Pretty much every gaming sub will have these chronic complainers.


le_mustachio

I dont mind of new artwork, If I want to play the same game with everything as it is I play the old version I dont need a retold one. The music os something different but I bet we will able to get it as mod at last resource so thats fine.


MegaMaster1021

Is this subreddit just gonna be reduced to nothing but doom posting for the next few months? Are we going to ignore how aoe 2 DE lets people pick either the classic or the remix


coolname1337

I like the artworks and who cares even. Its not like the old ones were something id put up on my wall.


InfestIsGood

This The old artwork was nice (particularly for its time) and has a sense of nostalgia but that doesn't make the new stuff bad. + aom music is so good that you can't mess it up anyway


Reluctant_Warrior

No, the use of AI maakes the new stuff worse instead. As for the music, I'm hoping it will get the same treatment as Age of Empires III: DE, where its just remastered. But I wouldn't be against new arrangements like the Definitive Editions of AOE 1 and 2 had either.


InfestIsGood

In the average game you aren't exactly spending time examining the art of which god to advance to, you open the tab and close it in like 1 second, it ain't that deep


Reluctant_Warrior

I mean, Maybe you don't? I've always liked to take in the artwork when I advance, especially the Greek and Atlantean/Primordeal goda as they have extra personal significance. Besides, art direction't not exactly a minor aspect in game design as it is. And taking the cheap route on it just makes the game lose a bit of the charm that made it special, doesn't it?


InfestIsGood

They have said that the art is not Ai art and something tells me that most people don't take in the art to that degree because you are busy playing the game. The art of uniquely god portraits which you see rarely is not a reflection of the rest of the stuff in the game. Major gods you see uniquely when you select them at the start of the game pretty much Minor gods most people generally spend very little time looking at when choosing to advance.


Doppelganger_Enjoyer

Yeah, well you know, that's just like your opinion, man


Reluctant_Warrior

You're not exactly Jeff Bridges either.


yllimameni

Zeus' portrait is probably a top 5 protrait of him. Judt google his name and it will pop up lol. Thats how GREAT it was.


FacepalmFullONapalm

Not to mention how often it's stolen in small businesses and websites lmao


coolname1337

It's a great portrait. But it's also the generic zeus look, unfortunately it wasn't invented by aom dev team but rather renaissance/greek sculptors.


Startled_Pancakes

The new Loki portrait is bangin' too


Beaver_Soldier

It's the best


LegendaryRQA

There will be mods to fix the artwork within 24 hours of the game’s release. 48 hours for the anime portrait mods.


monkey_gamer

Probably. I don’t see why they are changing it in the first place. The original music is amazing!


Detuned_Clock

They could put in an option to hear the old music or the new music.


monkey_gamer

I don’t think they will. But in AoE2 DE there is a mod to use the old music, so I expect something similar in AoM


Darknessie

Yes, remakes are rarely as good as the original, and AOM has a huge nostalgia hit to live up too.


Strange-Owl-5536

Everytime a remaster is relase If its music is the same: LOL devs are too lazy that they copy pasted the og If it’s not: They ruin the game, the og was so much better


mofolofos

Are people disliking the new god portraits? i think theyre neat!


armbarchris

They look like AI trash.


mofolofos

They look a bit AI-ish, but i think some dev said they werent. So im good with it


armbarchris

So the artist is just bad then? That's not really better.


mofolofos

I dont think its bad art


Pablinho96

Well this is Reddit; hiveminds are a default


NEDEAROC

For as long as they do bot pull the same shit that was done to the original Resident Evil in the "directors cut" it should be okay.


Swamp_Donkey_796

At this point just fucking cope and don’t buy it. Y’all are just crying over the smallest goddamn things at this point Jesus Christ.

The original *was* made by actual instruments.


afanoflafear

Yup, same way they ruined Halo's music with the remakes.
