I was dimly aware that Age of Empires II had a really well-done modern remaster, and was getting new and updated content as if it were a current title. I was unprepared for just how beautiful it all looks at 4K, however! I know every asset has been completely redone, but the art design really holds up. I would *love* to see more 2D classics like Red Alert 2 get the same kind of high-quality treatment, with remastered assets and brand-new DLC campaigns. Revisit and continue games long-abandoned

@stroughtonsmith stunning. so fun. I love how well this is done - one of those cases where it looks as good as you remember it.

@sdw @stroughtonsmith The music remaster is also beautiful – and on Apple Music!

@twostraws @stroughtonsmith did they remaster the wololo sound?
Show threadSteve Troughton-Smith
@sdw @twostraws they did, because the original was from an asset library and they didn't want to have to deal with figuring out copyright from the fast and loose dev processes of the 90s 😂

@stroughtonsmith @sdw @twostraws I spent so much time in AoE II! I do have this version but need to check it out again. Red Alert was remastered a few years ago - not sure if you knew!

@stroughtonsmith @sdw @twostraws That was a great video to watch. They also found a bunch of old recordings in multiple format, including tapes, and they're uploading them to a NoClip Archives YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@NoclipArchive
