Great News! There haven't been any good releases of Strategy games for the year 2004 (fps fps fps, sick of it, mainly because of my gf 4 mx440)

Waiting for that release....

Well the screen shots are just great. Waiting eagerly for the game to arrive. Guess the game would be very heavy on the system. BTW Microsoft had released Rise of Nations only last year. Another game on same genre so soon. Anyways good for us. Looks like that the year 2005 is going to be great for gaming.

Click to expand...

Hope they are..............its very disappointing when you wait desperately for a game and it turns out to have high end graphics requirements.... :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Gamespy has an article on what is being shown of the upcoming RTS game Age of Empires 3 at the Game Developers Conference.

"One way to have buildings explode would be to have the art team custom-design the disintegration of each structure. But that would be time consuming, and after all that work players would be disappointed by the exact same explosion every time. Instead, Ensemble Studios licensed the Havok physics engine. The art team cut each building up into logical pieces of debris. Then, when a structure gets slammed by a cannonball, chunks of it part way (leaving ruined holes and broken slats underneath) and fly through the air. No two explosions are the same."

Thats intresting Sourabh. I would love to see how havok engine is incoporated into a game like AoE 3.

As for the system requirement, I am sure it will be around and infact more then RoN.
