Age of Empires III DE | Original VS Remaster | Graphics Comparison | Final Version

Microsoft/Xbox provided a copy of ‘Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition’ to me for this video.

[@ElAnalistaDeBits]

After comparing and playing it for a few hours, I have to say that it could almost be a remake. Very good job from Microsoft, always giving a good example of how to update the graphics of a video game as it did with Gears of War Ultimate Edition, Halo 1/2 Anniversary or Fable Anniversary. On the other hand, it must be clarified that the game is quite demanding at 4K, since I have suffered some drop in framerate with a 2080Ti. Tras compararlo y jugarlo durante unas horas, tengo que decir que casi podría tratarse de un remake. Muy buen trabajo por parte de Microsoft, dando siempre un buen ejemplo de como actualizar los gráficos de un videojuego al igual que ya hizo con Gears of War Ultimate Edition, Halo 1/2 Anniversary o Fable Anniversary. Por otro lado, hay que aclarar que el juego es bastante exigente a 4K, ya que he sufrido alguna caída de framerate con una 2080Ti.

Exactly. I'm a huge fan both the original AOE 3 and remastered. I use to have the original AOE 3 game on disc and it was a multi disc installation.

[@Paperclown]

@@sampanda5793 so basically original AOE3 looked just like AOE4 that just released they must be saving AOE4 Remaster for a later quick buck.

[@termitreter6545]

Looks good, but mind Dawn of War 1 came out a year earlier, Medieval 2 and Company of Heroes a year later. AoE3 had some problems with physics and animations, it looked a bit wooden. Between 2003 and 2007, 3D video game graphics got so much better, its crazy.

I dont tink they are bad just seems a lot faster i guess they wanted to make them more snappy.

[@nttntjno1797]

I still like it better when the debris actually blown off by the cannon fire in the original. Other than that the improved graphics are nice.

[@Kovac_]

The destruction is a mixed bag. Things don't fly around as much but when units throw torches and shoot buildings, the fire effects, smoke and everything looks really good. I mean, is it very realistic for chunks of a building to fly 1000 miles per hour into the air when someone throws a torch onto a roof of a building?

[@LegendKingY2j]

@@Kovac_ well it's not realistic for every building including a temple to explode from inside as if it had TNT

[@Unbrutal_Rawr]

The lighting in the remaster looks bad to me throughout. It's especially visible in the water scenes, but also the sunlight looks the wrong colour (reddish) and fails to properly light the ground in most scenes - 5:24 would be a good example. The 1:52 scene looks better the original in just about every respect, and even the model improvements are imperceptible - the remaster looks like it's being illuminated by 2008-era ambient light isntead of the sun.

[@gtone339]

Still prefer the old destruction physics in the original Age 3 game. The destruction animation of Age 3 DE resembles the Age 2 DE destruction animation. Love the more detailed buildings, units, water & vegetation hehe!

[@AmateurCaptain]

Looks great, but I really hate the glowing aura around the explorer. I liked the simplicity of the old one.

[@tk-5268]

Makes him easier to find at least

[@MROKJIA]

The Swiss pike men’s armor isn’t as shiny as before and the pike is now wooden instead of steel, it was one of the greatest looking unit

[@hoetistic1650]

yea the lighting made everything look nice, unfortunate they removed most of it

[@relix7373]

To be honest I don't really like a lot of the newer versions. The terrain coloration looks odd in many places. The building collapses weirdly are kind of worse, with the exception of the neat shockwave. It's sort of dependent on the building I suppose as some look better and others perplexingly worse. Like the fortress collapse lost detail for some reason, but the armory destruction looks better. Obviously the shadows and rounded bits of buildings and terrain look way better though. One place the remaster really shines is on cliffs, those look silly in the old one. Unit animations are obviously superior and smoother, and unit textures also look more complete.

[@HealGea]

yeah especially building and ship collapses are much worse I my opinion but the rest is good. Other thing that I noticed while playing AOE 3 DE beta, I couldnt see unit well. It is like they blend into environment but they do not obv. it may be because of added texture details or because of my color blindness idk.

[@ResubidorSerial]

And I have an special problem with the definite edition, I can't see clearly the troops and the other things in the screen, it is hard to me to see what is happening in the game

[@saminbinkarim6962]

Yeah the remaster looks much more cartoonish vs realistic

[@getusoon]

The original is still better. 2 examples - the New England water at 1:09 captures the Golden Hour setting beautifully which the Remaster doesn’t. Secondly- the building destruction animations are a step backwards from the purely physics-based vanilla AOE3! Even AOE2 DE has better “building collapsing” visuals now!

[@erickh.r.9087]

Yeah, the water looks much better in the original

[@lucialeporati5887]

And grass

[@AttiliusRex]

overall, AoE3 was a beautiful game, albeit low poly sadly the remake changes art direction and tone too much than just updating the graphics

[@samfkt]

@@lucialeporati5887 Grass but only in some examples.... like 0:58. On other examples, mud/grass they made changes but it looks good on both versions, only on remaster its less blurry.

[@samfkt]

@@AttiliusRex Yes for a remaster they should kept more of the "original atmosphere and artstyle", just improve it and make it less blurry....... this is more like e mixed bag remake/remaster, but some changes are bad decissions IMHO.

[@averytucker790]

It looks like they used a lot less of the over-saturated yellows in the remaster, and the blinding brights, and used more "normal" colors. Also, all the textures look softer and wetter at the same time. and maybe that's just me. Also IMO, I wish all the icons and avatars were all paintings. Instead of just high res renders of the thing it is. But, I still like the layout. Also, I wish the building would look more "skeletoned" when hit. Like, show more of its frame, and have piece actually fall off of it and make those pieces more noticeable.

[@ducktape-3470]

Yeah i was noticing that a lot too. In the OG it used to cartoonishly fly off like a paper house Now it's much more realistic and less-cartoony. I guess it's a good direction if they are making the game's general performance improve since this dude's much more spec heavy than AOE2DE

[@LegendKingY2j]

@@ducktape-3470 lol no, it's more cartoonish now, all buildings are fat and explode as a strategy mobile game where almost no pieces of the building fall if there's even something, they weren't cartoonish back then, even the stone pieces made a decent sound and camera shake. The Aztec Temple and Ossuary are the best examples of it

[@mcsquared4319]

The blue color is oversaturated in the remastered version. Blue soldiers look more 2D than before.

[@rinzuar]

It seems like people that worked on the Definitive Edition do not have very much knowledge of photography, light and color. They just don't understand that water is simply NOT BLUE. Water takes the color of its surroundings. That for me is a serious stepback. Lighting in general is a huge stepback by the definitive edition compared with the original. Much more detail yes, much less photographically realistic, also yes!

[@rinzuar]

And the shadows on buildings and other surfaces are so inconsistant on Definitive, That makes them look like TOYS!! Such a shame. I have to say tho that I had very high expectations for AOE3 DE. I always admired the original for its visuals and atmospheres, which at the time of release were mesmerizing for an RTS to have.

[@fabianquirogatellez511]

You're wrong, actually the water color depends of the electromagnetic light of the sun, this one, can change the water color in every biome like forrest or desert in the case of the first one, in the scene we can appreciate than the type of ecoregion was a forrest and thankfully for that, the water takes that type of color, we don't know if the water are only blue because in some features they told than have visual enhancements

[@fabianquirogatellez511]

@@rinzuar You can't say than "the shadows makes the units like a toys" only for seeing a new color remake called "vertex color fix" this improve make the game less brightness and we can see lots of more details of the new textures

[@purehollow]

Lmao the building destruction in the original is way better somehow

[@jemert96]

I wouldn't say it's a huge improvement, but I'm glad they removed the 400% bloom filter from the original AoE3, the lighting looks more realistic now. Other than that it's mostly a texture upgrade I guess

[@liquidsnake321]

I suppose, but at the same time it does look waaaay smoother and better when it falls apart. However, enough people have mentioned this (especially when it comes to the ship-battles) so i'm sure they'll fix it so the shots causes physics-collisions in some way. There's probably a reason it isn't in right now i bet, like glitching and stretching of textures ruining the game, i don't think they sat down and said "remember the flying bits, wasn't that annoying?", because honestly no one thought that.

[@SmogginMog]

@@ruok3351 We have vastly increased CPU/GPU power these days to compensate for that. Also: they don't need to break off every splinter on a higher poly model, just larger chunks blown off would be enough and demand a similar amount of performance.

[@ruok3351]

@@SmogginMog Who is we? Do we share GPUs or something? Are you saying all games should have 4K textures and millions of polygons just because we can compensate it? Seriously, its clearly not their priority to focus on the destruction. Its not a big deal. Also your solution is flawed. Even without breaking down every single brick, you’re still putting physics simulations on the same high poly model. Its just as demanding. On a 3D program, having 1000 separate planes is technically the same thing as having one plane with 1000 subdivision faces

Apart from all these beauties, I will touch on a different topic. In the 2005 version of Age of 3, the artificial intelligence always attacked in the same way on the hardest difficulty level. And for example, you could go to the 3rd unclaimed island on the Caribbean map. You could establish colonies there and take the resources for yourself. In the Definitive Edition, the artificial intelligence goes to the neutral island with its armies and workers as if it were human. It creates different types of soldiers depending on your attack. This is great !

when you realize that the physics in the original game made 15 years before the remaster are so, SO much more believable _and_ fun to watch. I had no idea it was THIS bad, I knew it was bad but DAMN, man. watching them back to back is for me like watching a realtime physics-based interactive demonstration with the original and a pre-scripted event in the remaster. I also love how in the original whole chunks of the buildings go flying. why take that out? too costly? too expensive for the CPU? sigh. I hate that. I hate watching something "new and better" be SO vastly eclipsed by the original. it's such a shame. otherwise things do look nice. I love it - I love AoeIII DE. no doubt. but watching some videos of the original got me wondering why cannons taking on buildings seemed so much more alive and fun. but I just assumed it was my imagination or the units or something. why remove one of the most distinctive features of the game when it was released???
