Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition is the latest entry in a series of remastered Age games, and the first remaster that utilizes a full 3D engine. In true Definitive Edition style, every art asset was recreated for this release; the team who took on this monumental task includes Han Randhawa (Art Director at World’s Edge), Brad May (Owner/Producer at Zero One), and David Giles (Senior Producer at Tantalus). It was my pleasure to ask them a few questions about their work on the game.
“Join Alex Battaglia for an in-depth look at the new Age of Empires 3 Definitive Edition – plus a detailed look at the crucial 2D to 3D transition point for the real-time strategy game genre. The new Age of Empires certainly looks as though it retains the gameplay of the original and makes a number of impressive visual upgrades – but is performance everything it should be?”
“We worked relentlessly to preserve the legacy art—cherished for so many decades by so many fans—while bringing a new fidelity to the visuals. We worked very closely with the community to get a good picture of what they wanted, and any time the visuals started to veer drastically far from the “look” that folks remember, we had to reel them back in.”
