Those are gorgeous pictures. I wonder if those are 2D or 3D rotatable scenes? Either way, very nice!

I'm willing to bet $3.47 that specific screenshot is from a cinematic sequence.

 

[imported_waldo]

That is a lovely looking game...I am going ot be getting this one....just hope I don't fail out of law school because of it!

 

[randumb]

I'm amazed again...these graphics are cinematic.

It will take advantage of Shader 3.0, so congrats to those who chose the 6800 over the x800.

 

[Malak]

I just laughed at my friend. AoE3 will have better graphics than WoW!

So quite a few folks will be getting worse graphics because they only support one brand of video cards latest hardware?

If it had a few more people in it, would make a great Where's Waldo shot!!

Non-existant humor aside, the shots do look simply gorgeous, so I'm curious of their authenticity. When's this due out?

I read an article in the latest issue of PC gamer that aoe3 will use the havok physics engine

They're taking advantage of the most cutting edge tools available....regardless of who supports them. That's like 9800 or 5900 owners complaining that it takes advantage of features on newer cards so they'll get "worse" graphics.

X800 is slower, the same price, and lacked some of these new technologies. If somebody decided to get one anyway......well, what can you tell them?

Like Rome Total War. It's the only RTS other than tha Age series I was ever able to get into. AoE III won't be out for at least 6 months and probaly 9 or 10.
