PC Gamer Magazine's February 2005 cover story is on Age of Empires III. It's an 8 pager, with screenies. It's release date is second half of 2005. The screenies are absolutely amazing for an RTS. I wonder what the system requirements will be.


Some quotes:

"Age III's transition to full 3D will incorporate dynamic lighting and shadows, bloom effects, and destructible environments."

"No two housing demolitions are alike thanks to Havok physics."

"brand new graphics engine from the ground up."

One of the two main goals of development team is that "Age of Empires III would have the best looking graphics of any game, period."



Sounds good doesn't it.
