cemacar: They announced it I don't have any source I saw it on live stream.
They remastered the Age of Empires 1 with new models, animations, 4k.,
Avaible for only windows 10/xbox(maybe).

Edit:

Announcement Trailer of Age of Empires: Definitive Edition:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keI83oLw-_4

Sorry about capital letters. Any mod can change it if possible?
Was just about to make a post about it :P

Looks amazing, really digging the upgraded graphics and music <3

I hope it comes to GOG...(prays)

Graphic looks awesome, but they removed blood.

UnrealQuakie: lol I own that damn sexy beast of a game collection but I am talking about with these new graphics!

eiii: Can you play that offline or does it require the Steam client to play?
It requires the Steam client to play, but it can be run in Steam's offline mode.

Pretty cool, although to be honest I would be happy just having the originals DRM-free here on GOG.

cemacar: If you watch the trailer in the end there is just windows 10 logo. And it's mentions xbox multiplayer play(I'm not sure if they are meaning console or platform one) But I'm sure it will be only available for windows 10 as os.

ResidentLeever: Cool! Hopefully this has decent pathfinding, better farm mechanics, higher pop count, more advanced commands and formations, more consistent difficulty, more realistic diplomacy, unique music for each campaign and female civilians. A non-linear campaign would be a big plus as well.
There actually are female civilians, but they stay inside the houses all the time, just like they should. Remember, this was not modern times but ancient times where women just did the dishes and breeded. Nowadays they also go to work. The game is quite realistic in that.

How did you think you get new civilians in the game if there were no females at all? Did you think babies just *poof!* appear out of nowhere when you click that one button repeatedly? No, they come from the vagina, with blood and guts all over them, yech!

The mix of male and female civilians in AoE2 sometimes annoyed me a bit, because I always tried to divide them in their work roles: the men do the more grueling physical work like woodcutting and mining, and the women forage, butcher sheep and work on the farms. And often you would get way too many men vs women, or vice versa, to accomplish this :P

Matewis: A HD remaster of Galactic Battlegrounds would be far more welcome
This. SWGB uses the same engine as AOE2. It shouldn't be that difficult to make a HD edition.

Of course they were not equal, but for example in ancient egypt women could be priests or doctors, and have government positions except for being pharaoh (though this part is not represented in a game like aoe).

What a stupid question, lol.

Yeah that was pretty obvious, it's still a stupid question/point since I didn't imply that I don't know how breeding works and since he's wrong about women being basically invisible back then.

So it requires Steam client to play? That's a shame, would happily buy it here.

It can be an exclusive to windows store/xbox store like gears of war 4, halo wars 2 etc.

I think Cleopatra, Nefertiti, Hatshepsut, and a few others would argue that point...
