releasing a bugged game is counter productive and stupid
word of mouth is their main source of advertising...
the only thing they have is nostalgic fans of who some will feel ripped off and voice their complaints to others who will in turn not want to waste $$$ on an defective product such as aoe2 ''hd''
if anything...the game developers should have bent over backwards to insure a quality game that promotes itself....all i can see from this is a quick cash grab with little to no interest in future support.
Well the AOE2 is still in Top 5 on Steam. If word of mouth would have benn so bad, people would not buy it in such quantities. I am also quite active in an AOE2 die hard community forum (though i don't play it) and the upcoming patch solves many issues most people complain about there. And the then following announced bugfixes for future patches hit the rest. THough the other issue sill remains for still acitve AOE2 players: That people are not really skilled, who play the HD version
Also it shows finally that the AOE series got into the hands of a product manager who sees the real value of the AOE series. Else i think they would have made such re-release much earlier. Also the sales numbers are a good motivation to develop another AOE game
Sums it up pretty well , anyone actually tried the game?
that is the big question, i do think so, some others say they'll leave it at that once the big bugs are fixed.
Zuta seemed very adamant that they won't do anything else
I don't think that there will be real new content (new civ, campaign etc). Maybe they get FE to work with Steam Workshop and one or two balance updates but that is all.
noone is talking about new campaign or new content we all know that isn't coming^^.
i'm talking about features nice to have things, outsid of the game.
Well this was already announced with the previous patch, that they want to do that.
They didn't give a timeline then. But it seems they are quite fast at resolving the issues the community complains about
