00:03Il Diffinitif Edizion
00:04Il Diffinitif Edizion
00:05cominciato a qualcosa che aveva già avuto.
00:07Un gruppo di ragazze
00:09del H2 community
00:10lavorando su unofficiale expansione
00:13per Age of Empires II.
00:14Mi ricordo che abbiamo fatto
00:16quando abbiamo creato la prima mod
00:18che avevamo 20,000 dollari.
00:21Questo è il mio consiglio.
00:22Abbiamo trovato dopo due ore
00:24in un'questa web.
00:29Il Diffinitif Edizion
00:31era così buono
00:32come mod
00:34che abbiamo pubblicato.
00:38Questo è stato l'inizio dell'inizio.
00:45Il Diffinitif Edizion
00:47è tornato al principio.
00:49Il Diffinitif Edizion
00:49Il Diffinitif Edizion
00:50ha avuto l'inizio di Age of Empires I
00:52ha avuto un extra boost
00:53in questi ultimi anni.
00:55Il Diffinitif Edizion
00:56ha bisogno di riferimento.
00:57Il Diffinitif Edizion
00:57è stato molto semplice.
00:59Abbiamo un gruppo
01:01supertalente
01:02developers
01:02e abbiamo questo
01:04great game
01:04che ancora conosciamo.
01:06Cosa possiamo fare
01:07a modernizzare
01:08il momento?
01:10Il Diffinitif Edizion
01:11Il Diffinitif Edizion
01:12è stato molto semplice
01:13ed.
01:14Il Diffinitif Edizion
01:14è molto buono
01:15e la musica è bella
01:17bella.
01:22Microsoft
01:22went out to Prague
01:23gotto
01:24a proper symphony orchestra
01:25and they kind of redid
01:26several tracks
01:26with a full symphony orchestra
01:28which is great.
01:28It takes all those
01:30age
01:31melodies
01:31that you remember
01:32and just blows the doors
01:34off of it.
01:35We had to
01:37make a lot of
01:37gameplay changes as well
01:39because the game
01:40it saw such a big improvement
01:41from H1 to H2
01:43that if you now go back
01:44it really feels old.
01:45we've addressed nearly all
01:47of the game's shortcomings.
01:48So the series is now cohesive
01:50which is a wonderful achievement.
01:51We took what was already
01:52pretty incredible
01:53and just made it
01:54even better.
02:04Five years ago
02:05I was working
02:07in a restaurant
02:07and I was still playing
02:09Age of Empires
02:09like once in a while
02:10and I started to dabble
02:13around in modding.
02:14I was like okay
02:15I have ideas
02:16but I can't make graphics
02:17I can't make sounds.
02:18Then we started sourcing
02:20from the community
02:21and I was like hey
02:22wanna help out a bit?
02:23Forgotten Empires
02:24this awesome group
02:25of Age fans
02:26made these additions
02:27they literally did on their own
02:28called the Forgotten.
02:29What's great about Age
02:30is you just have so much
02:31passion throughout the world
02:32that you can find
02:33where passion is kind of
02:34coupled with talent
02:34and you just get some really
02:36special people.
02:37The most rabid fans
02:38of the series
02:38getting together
02:39a modding team
02:40pooling the talent
02:41to form a full fledged developer.
02:43I think the passion
02:44of the fans
02:45making something
02:46that cohesive
02:47surprised me.
02:48I think the Forgotten
02:49Empire guys
02:49with their campaigns
02:50they were just as good
02:52as the ensemble campaigns
02:53and that's a testament
02:55to their dedication
02:56and I think that's rare.
02:59I think they took
03:00a calculated risk
03:01in partnering with us
03:03and allowing us
03:04to be stewards
03:04of the franchise.
03:05Most important for us
03:06was there's a team
03:07that we can work with
03:08that have that same passion
03:09that still believe
03:10in this product
03:11and want to make it new again.
03:12When I started
03:13with Age of Empires
03:14series in 1996
03:15I never in my wildest dreams
03:17thought that
03:1821 years later
03:19I'd be working on
03:20the same game
03:21the same code base.
03:23It's a timeless franchise
03:24and it has proven
03:25that already.
03:26This moment of time
03:27the rebirth
03:28of Age of Empires 1
03:29in this definitive edition
03:30for the 20th anniversary
03:32I think it's just
03:33the beginning
03:33of a much longer journey
03:35that we're about to embark on.
