E3 2017: First Age of Empires Will see a 4k re-release
Publisher Microsoft will release a new edition of the classic strategy game Age of Empires later this year. The new version will be released exclusive for Windows 10 and supports resolutions up to 4k.
Microsoft made the announcement at the PC Gaming Show which was held Monday at the E3 game exhibition. The re-release, will be called "Age of Empires: Definitive Edition" enhances the ability to zoom out further as well. Age of Empires: Definitive Edition features 4K support, an re-orchestrated soundtrack, a brand-new narrative, and the Rise of Rome expansion for a total of 16 civilisations to play and 10 campaigns to conquer.
Released back in 1997, the original Age of Empires (Ensemble studios) threw armies from Europe, Africa, and Asia against each other in time periods stretching from the Stone Age through to the Iron Age, with the Roman Empire added via an expansion. Although its historical theme was similar to that of Civilization, Age of Empires' real-time battles made it a very different game.
The Definitive Edition supports multiplayer via Microsoft's Xbox Live platform. An exact release date for the game is still missing however checking back, on 15 October the original was publiched precisely twenty years ago. Microsoft later in the year will make further announcements about the upcoming anniversary of the series of the classic strategy game Age of Empires.

Why? He is right. Some older people we love that idea. But whatever. Everyone nowadays is a pro gamer / with ultra super duper graphics, without reasoning!
It is a shame to the true "PC master race", that they always forget their past.

I would buy 100 copies of this before I buy the next COD.

Bit of an over generalisation there's plenty of young people who enjoy RTS games especially AOE and not everyone nowadays is a pro gamer and if you look at Steam statistics there's not as many people who own ultra super duper graphics cards as you think.

I don't think you are right.
AOE was and is a very decent game. True it is sometime illogical, sometime silly, but it still is quite a good, lengthy and exciting game.
Considering "remastered" versions of old-time classics are now quite popular (with both publishers and players), I think M$ does the right thing.
