Today, I downloaded Age of Empires II on my Xbox, having not played it since the HD version came out.
I was pleased to find that the controls were very intuitive and I was able to automate the economy to focus on military strategy.
However, I was disappointed to find that the map editor was not included, as I used to love creating my own maps and playing castle defense.
Despite this, I’m still excited to try Age of Empires IV when it releases later this year.
I expect if the Xbox title does well, they will bring it over.
Bit of a shame they didn’t already.
First thing I did when I installed it on my xbox was look for the map editor and was disappointed to not find it.
If the PS 2 could let you create maps I don’t see why the series X would have issues.
I’m just not sure you’d really have any way to feasibly recreate the kind of stuff you can do on a Keyboard and Mouse.
Fancy looking maps would be harder to make, typing text would take way longer (assuming an onscreen keyboard would be used, I don’t actually know well enough), trigger scripting would just be a pain.
So you’d probably have to cut most of the powerful elements of the scenario editor that allow for the production of campaign grade content.
I could be totally wrong though, haven’t played the Xbox version.
wait aoe4 will be released on xbox??
Literally the only reason I downloaded the game, incredibly disappointed it’s not here.
So much for definitive edition, the game I played 22 years ago was more fully featured
We need more people to back the editor!
It’s the only thing missing.
Key aspect of the game.
I think they did a great job translating it to the Xbox but it’s literally a completely different game without that.
Can’t be the definitive edition without create scenario.
I agree with you…and I’m sure it’s possible as farcry3 had a map editor similar to AOE on consoles way back in the 360 era
