it tries to follow the competitive meta - on the highest level - because we have 20 years of pro players doing tournaments and we tried to get that in the AI as well."

the new AI is so good that you can watch replays of it to actually learn how to play the game, because it plays the game correctly now. So that's the kind of level we were aiming for here. "If you put one AI, non-cheating, of the Definitive Edition version against seven of the original that do cheat, it just wipes the floor with them. "If you look at the old AI, it cheated" Beeckman chuckled. That chat was actually after Isgreen and Beeckman had taken me through a closer look at those features in the game, via a peek at the new Tamerlane campaign, the most striking of them being that new AI. You get all the new social features, you get everything like the unified community, there's just a lot of things - for any kind of player you are - to take advantage of."įair enough. "So for five dollars more you also get brand new AI, an entirely new multiplayer with a super-secure, awesome anti-cheat multiplayer solution that's super-stable across all kinds of connections. You'll also get five dollars off if you already own the HD edition, which helps (I didn't get confirmation for the UK side of things - know you're wondering - but imagine it will be an equivalent amount). "So, within the Definitive Edition you have a whole new expansion, basically: you've got three new campaigns, a whole bunch of new missions, you've got four new civilizations to play with as well, so right there you're pretty much already at 10 dollars into the game." "Well, we sell expansions for the game as well and the expansions usually run about 10 bucks, right?" Isgreen tells me. Talking to Adam Isgreen, Creative Director for Age of Empires on the Microsoft side of things and Bert Beeckman, co-founder of Forgotten Empires, the studio that takes the lead on these remasters, the first thing I wanted to ask was why an HD owner would want to upgrade. Thankfully, there is more to the Definitive Edition than that. Oh and you can also already play Age of Empires 2 HD, which tidied up the original's visuals and, according to its store page, brought in "improved AI, workshop support, multiplayer, Steamworks integration and more!"
