Looking back at the history of video games makes us all very nostalgic. In the retro days, video games were a very pixelated and flat medium, evolving to an incredibly cinematic and immersive experience today. We at Game Evolutions have a great passion for video games of many different genres, that is how Game Evolutions came to life. All our popular "Evolution of..." video shows the huge progress video games have undergone and the industry is growing year by year. A video from us takes 15+ hours to produce. We put significant time into researching, looking in the archives, recording, and finally editing. Our goal is to give you as high-quality content as possible as consistently as possible. All the gameplay recordings, gameplay, video editing and thumbnails are made by me (Game Evolutions) with added commentary for each game. - เกม

Age of Mythology: an underrated gem that deserves a remake!
25.10.2022 here we go
Los Dioses del Olimpo te han escuchado!
Yes we want a definite edition for AOM too ❤️🔥🪔🙏🏻
@@grishfics6668 pa cuando lo anunciaron ;-!?

It's actually incredible how good AOE 2 was/is. Even if DE never came out, plenty of people including myself would STILL be playing it. I mean even if the HD version never came out, people would STILL be playing it. Hats off to the creators because it truly is one of the most timeless masterpieces ever made. With that being said THANK GOD for DE and the continued support/updates they keep doing for such a beautiful game. Im a console shooter player at heart but I will never forget watching my dad when i was 6 years old play AOE 2 and him realizing I was so interested in it and then teaching me how to play. I'll never forget him bringing home the conquerors expansion and being so excited and happy and at first I thought he was excited for himself to play it, then he booted it up and sit me in the chair and let me play even before he got to play. This game has brought me so many memories both playing by myself as an adult and learning the game with my father when I was young. Now I'm a new dad myself and I cant wait to show my son this brilliant game!
How wonderful that your dad taught you to play! What is DE? and is it still possible to play AOE 2? Thae one's my favorite too.
@@dikshantrajbhandari2805 DE = Definitive Edition. It's basically the original AoE2 with improvements in terms of graphics and a lot of new in-game content. It's also very popular online. You should give it a try.
Nice thank you! I’ll give it a try. Excited to go back to my childhood 🤗
What a wonderful post.
who thought i will be playing it in 2024 as a 14y/o
Age of mythology has forever etched in my heart. I owe so much to that game
yeah, not sure why it is hated so much, it's also one of my favorites
It is one of my favorites too
love it too, definitely deserves remake or second game. preferably both
@@jirikunc1956 if we all get together to ask for it maybe the would do another game
@@Ronald2Shaoling a definitive edition called Age of mythology: Retold is on it's way
It's crazy how after so many years AoE II: TC stills being so fun to play for me, definitely they did an absolute *Wonder*
Same..aoe2 DE is awesome it also has most playera of them all ...20k daily
@@Dr.Akakia Hes talking about ale the conquerors aka expansion
@@Dr.Akakia I personally think definitive editions suck ass, they copy the original one, add some useless content that are somewhat unbalanced, make lame-ass graphics and turn it into a Clash of Clans style game.
@@bobthegreatblob wha?
@@bobthegreatblob what are you blazing?
It's also amazing how loyal and vibrant the AOE2 community still is to this day. If you play the game, you can definitely understand why. Still my all-time favorite (it helps that I started playing AOE1 in '97).

Good old days. Started with Age of Empires 2 and Age of Mythology. Now I am playing Age of Empires 4. After 20 years I started to play again. 😀
I think arguably what makes the age of Empire games so special is the music
True😭
Nothing like attacking a town center or trade post in aoe 3
The sound design in general is outstanding
The music in AoE2 was utterly depressing. The music in AoE1DE however..
it's the wololo
That it's _still_ getting updates and expansions, almost a quarter of a century after its original release, is a testament to the greatness of Age of Empires 2. I used to play co-op with two friends, the 3 of us against 3 computer players. Some games could go on for hours. I remember one game in particular which dragged on for something like 12 hours of intense battle, spread over 3 days. Good times.
Also, all the non-PC games look at least 10 years behind.
i remember once in black forest going into the trees, breaking them one by one with a trebuchet ands then hiding there for hours. they couldnt get us lol
how did an online game span 3 days? Could you pause it? Sounds like it was a lot of fun!!
@@Ustaleone Yeah, we paused and saved, and then resumed later or the next day. It really was a lot of fun 🙂
Logic - mobile games lack space and so they receive 8 bit gameboy graphics.
@@pabloe.morales9820 You can just research Spies if your enemy is griefing after losing and wont resign.
My dad had AoE in the late 90s. I never saw him play it. So I played it. I was in 5th grade strategizing battle plans with war Elephants. I love this series.
The original AOE (1997)it was so good I remember playing it the most during my childhood.
Every AOE was great
Viet Nam still play it
In my opinion, aoe1 is the best aoe. I like how hard the campaigns are, the struggle to get resources and how it takes time until you really get strong to defeat the enemies. I can't stand the aoe2 graphics, it's weird to me.
@@pliniojr95 Yep, same here. AoE1 just has those perfect graphics, music, and mechanics. AoE2 is too cluttered and busy looking.
I'm still playing the original. I didn't know that they kept making and upgrading the game until I saw this video.
I've been playing this game since my childhood..Thank you for bringing back these beautiful days🥰
Still playing ?
Can i play it on Android ?
How can I play multiplayer of AoE 2 online?
1999 provides the true nostalgia. Those who missed it then with the original graphics and music truly missed something special. Especially when players were so green in the online community, and so few.
Age of Mythology is love! We want AOM definitive edition too ❤️❤️🔥🙏🏻
It's coming :) . AOM Retold is the title!!
@@sreeenivas00706 thats great, thanks for letting me know 👍🏻❤️
Honestly I was very skeptical of AOE 4, but I started playing recently and I'm loving it!! IT's so historically accurate and the educational videos are amazing!!
historically accurate and the educational videos are not two things gamers care to hear when being persuaded to try a game.
When a game is released with a brand name like AOE then people WILL play it. If its great people will continue to play it, like AOE II.
I dont bother trying it because I put my trust in the number of people who tried it and didnt continue. AOEII is all I need.
@@NowhereMan7then you're a fool. 😂 AOE 4 is great
i dunno. it never really hit the right spot.
why not?
4 is great and the campaigns are entertaining specially like you mentioned with all the educational videos. But man…. AOE2 DE is just….. so OG. Its the only one me and my friends keep playing everyday. Idk if its a mix of nostalgia and simplicity but i just find it more fun
Age of empires 3 is my childhood. I still play the definitive edition
AOE 3 was a disaster, Almost Killed the game.
@@cooldbz12mach1padilla Since iam not a extreme diehard fan of the series, I really enjoy the 3rd one. IV one on the other hand is basically aoe2 with improved graphics and gameplay.
@@cooldbz12mach1padilla It's really funny because only the OG AOE fans hate 3. People who have never played the series all love AOE 3. I understand why hardcore fans don't like it because it's different, but the game on it's own is definitely not bad. It just doesn't fit with the rest of the series. It get's a lot of unnecessary hate for that.
AOE 3 is actually really fun and has great game mechanics!
@@JackBob. Personally I'm a big fan of all of them for different reasons. 2 is probably the definitive "Age of Empires experience" I suppose but 3 is different enough to be fun in its own ways and the original has that classic charm. I don't get why fans of one have to call the other shit because it doesn't fit their personal mold. If AoE3 was just AoE2 with a different skin like many seem to want then there'd be no reason to play it.
I'm just hoping for an AoM DE one day...
Played AoE alot as a child but I got more hooked on Age of Mythology. Graphic felt nicer, more alive and the animations and quests were amazing. I took it up a year ago ish. Still havnt played the new gods that much.
Easy to learn, hard to master - perfectly executed
I started playing aoe 1 when it first came out when I was 8 cause my mom got it. Me and her played so many games. Then when aoe2 came out we played online in the MSN gaming zone. I was top 150 players at one point when I was around 12. I lived ate breathed and dream about aoe 2.
The Zone!! I haven't thought about that platform in so many years. Thank you for that!
never heard of a mom that plays AOE, absolute legend
@@Booklat1 She played AoE1, 2, Doom 1, and 2 and a dinosaur hunting fps called carnivores. Other than those few just card games like Spades.
And she was a total turtler defense player. She would push out early take ass much gold from the center and oponent as she could and then wall up defend until only she had gold left and they couldnt field strong units.
@@Booklat1 mine did as well. Now I'm the one who play this game
@@TexasGreed Carnivores was the shit!
age of Empires 2 was my first Pc game . Still now i miss this game 😊
The definitive edition is still played by many players!
can u please tell me how can i install it for mac
Started playing with the demo of the first AoE.
Age of Mythology is still my favourite of the lot
My father gave me AOE II when I was 6, without speakers on the PC
I've destroyed my ennemies without even knowing reading or hearing anything 🥲
I remember a save where only one peasant was alive and i've discovered i was able to build another forum
First game ever played, even before Ocarina of Time
Mother passed away last year and AOE II helped me a lot
True dude I got aoe 2 as a kid by my big brother and I destroyed the game also I got aoe 3 and it was so good in my childhood too bad my pc broke down
So many hours on age of mythology, barely knew what i was doing but i loved it
I'm surprised as to how many versions of this game I've played over the years! Never gets old!
This is an amazing video. Brings back so many memories.
I'm seeing a lot of AoE2 fans, and while I did really enjoy the game, I think AoE3 is still my favorite and most played AoE game. I had my fair share of time playing AoE1 as well. I've really enjoyed AoE4 and I think it has a good touch, being most like AoE2. However I'll always go back to AoE3 DE every now and then with friends.
It was pretty interesting to watch how game evolves.
I did not know that AoE had releases on other platforms than PCs.
Also, it is quite impressive how Microsoft support old titles.
Thanks for the video!
Had no idea they had so many mobile games.
Me and my siblings will still go on the computers in the house and battle in the original AOE2 from 1999
i haven't played multiplayer is it offline
@ You can still play local multiplayer over home internet
@To play online with other people you have to get Voobly
Thank you for the video !
A pleasure to watch & discover !
Age of Empires 2 HD will forever be the best, something so enjoyable about that game that will never get old.
It's amazing how people were on the same page and prefer Age of Empires 2 is the best AoE. Me included!
Nothing will ever top Age of Empires 2
rusted warfare is even better
Except AoE4.. AoE2 has so much repetition with regards to units and buildings. AoE4 has much more uniqueness especially when it comes to gameplay which makes it so fun. Each faction in AoE2 has the same play style. I'm really loving AoE4.
Age of empires 3 maybe that in my opinion i play Aoe warchiefs , Aoe Asian Dynasties and the normal Aoe III
@@SamFlutePiano no
I prefer Age of Empires 4 and Age of Mythology Titans Expansion
age of empire 2 best game !
Loved this AOE series very much. Played it in my childhood (around 2009) kind of nostalgia I got watching this video. Thx man
I really miss the first tribal age of empires athmosphere, i think they have to get concentrate more on that period again but without invetions like catapults but original ancient siege machines, also modern mechanics like men on the walls
I agree. I prefer the idea of starting from hunter gatherers and proceeding through thousands of years of human evolution, more so than starting sometime in the last 1000 years and covering only a few hundred years (though I still enjoyed AoE2). I'm really disappointed that we never got an HD edition of AoE (though we did get a Definitive Edition, but it'd be nice to have modern port with the original graphics).
Thank you for video.
Astonishing hand-made paintings where the key to AoE success:)
both age of mythology and empires series were both my childhood games. Its to bad that age of mythology doesn't get that much love
Hands down my most played game ever, and I play/played a lot of games. AoE II, AoM (+Titans), and Stronghold Crusader, were a gigantic part of my childhood, as well as my fascination with history, and the myths of the past. Thanks for this vid. Going to share it with my dad.
I played all of them, AoE 2 and AoM are the best of the Series, true masterpieces
Me: Watching Evolution of Age of Empires Also me: oh shit here we go again. AOE installed ;)
loved this video. I went ahead and subscribed.
I was there, 3000 years ago, Gandalf. I remember.
I grew up playing 1997, 98, 99, 2000 versions of the game. very fun game.
Been living under a rock for many years, had no idea there were so many remakes and 4 looks amazing!
Age of empires 2 is the reason i watched game of thrones, studied history heavily, and had an early lead in school.
and after all, every series of AoE II is the best to see it's simple mechanic yet immersive. The Conquerors is the one that actually make me wanna know how far Age of Empire can go
Agreed
Age of Empire 2 is an absolute classic. My childhood game.
can i install it for mac
Veteran players always remember these.
Age of Empires 2 is one my my favorite childhood games, I really love this game
i started with aoe3 (disk) , and now im playing aoe 2 de on pc, great games
I always loved AOE 2 my childhood game, i spent days in the editor making epic cities
This video opened up a time portal back to my childhood. I didnt know how much emotional value this game had for me until seeing this video. Holy shhh😅
All the music the sound effects brings back so much nostalgia. Please turn back time. I want my awesome childhood back!
These games are legendary
Age of empires 1-4 stay with me from my childhood to adulthood. I am so lucky to meet this game!
Strang how graphics have really only been "Smoothed" out over 20 years but the Total War series really over did themselves on the graphics with each game in a similar timeframe
I still have my copy of AoE DS. I bought it at a school book fair for $20 and I definitely wasn’t expecting it to play like it did but I enjoyed it a lot.
Happy to say I've enjoyed almost every phase
Age of empires 3 still has the best graphics and gameplay
My dad would play AOE II religiously and I remember watching him play "the castle game" as a kid.
Age of Empires 2 has been so popular that it almost completely overshadowed its predecessor, the original Age of Empires. It too was a great game.
Age of mythology was the peak for me
the story telling is perfect, you can feel the satisfaction once you finish the game campaign unlike today's game.
Que nostalgia recordar este hermoso juego, el 2 es mi favorito y la historia del 3 insuperable
I started on the OG AOE back in 97. Man, how time flies!
I remember playing a demo of one of the campaign missions of AOE back on my windows 98, ah those were good times.
If I'm not mistaken, the developers who made this game split. One went on with developing AOE and the other(s) went on to create a game called Empire Earth. Fundamentally, Empire Earth was the same concept as AEO. In other words a person who is familiar with AOE could probably sit down and figure out how to play Empire Earth almost immediately once they figure out what resources are needed for what and what buildings make what.
The difference is that in Empire Earth, the number of ages available are in the dozens. A player could start in the stone age, which is the first age, and progress all the way to the space age if they had enough time. That's about a half a day long game. But, the game offers players the choice of a starting and ending age for shorter games, especially in MP matches.
A fun feature about Empire Earth is that beginning at the nuclear age, nuclear bombers are available as well as ICBM's. I think there's even a nuclear submarine? Not sure. But, there are aircraft carrier complete with fighter planes, destroyers etc. A nuclear bomber, for instance, is slow and hard to shoot down. But, it susceptible to AA. Yet. its blast radius can clear entire regions of AA and other targets once everything has been researched.
For me, I played the hell out of both of these games. I didn't have all of the AOE titles, though. But, two years ago, I found a set at a garage sale in their original CD cases for $2 bucks. All the disks were in good condition, which was unusual. Lucky me! I still can't find Empire Earth for PC anywhere, though.
Cheers!
Empire Earth was fun! and you're right, coming from AOE, Empire Earth is easy to get. I remember playing Empire Earth with my cousing on LAN for hours.
There is another game in this concept - Rise of Nations. Inpired by AOE2 and EE2.
Bro, I spent many many hours playing Empire Earth 2, specially via LAN connection with my cousins, so many fond memories of that game. I liked that it had territories, like you could actually capture pieces of land an annex them to your territory. And the periods between 1800s to WW2 were my favorite to play.
Age of empire 3 and rise of nations were the best strategy games of 2000s
My whole body got chills within 1 second of this video.
Age of Empire II my all time favorite. Still love playing this game.
Wow you missed one! Age of Empires Pocket PC Gold edition! (2004ish) I owned it on my HP pocket pc and used the stylus to play. It was actually really nice graphically and the stylus worked well!
Waited a while to download the AoE2 at Gamepass because I thought the gameplay would be weird on console but its so cleverly done, enjoying my childhood game on a 40 inch TV now ❤❤
Who looking for this game in 2024
Ur mom
I remember my first game being age of mythology and falling in love with the game but not realising it was a series
Even if the first one isn't the best it will always have a special place in my heart since it is one of the first game I ever played.
That it does. Lo lo loo
7:17 *My favourite mobile game when I was a kid. I could never find this version, so I could only play from my mum's old phone that had it. Awesome game with awesome ost's.*
Thanks for making this video
AOE 2, Age of Mythology and Rise of nations will forever be among my favourite games.
These all are masterpieces!!
The music in these games is really great. They are also visually impressive for their time. Age of Empires 3 looks absolutely astonishing for a 2005 game. The original version of Age of Empires 3 is kind of janky, but the visuals still hold up. It's like how Halo 3 is still a pretty game despite not even being HD. It's the art style that elevates it.
Back in 2000 my buddy Dan worked for a PC gaming/ Internet cafe/PC repair shop. He had all the hookups so together we built my first PC from leftover unused scrap parts lol.
Then one day he brought over Age of Empires II and the lan parties at my house began.
Between AOE, Diablo, Starcraft and college back in the day I don't think I ever got any sleep lmao.
AoE II was my jam. Loved that game. Need to replay it now.
Also - how am I only now hearing about the Age of Mythology games? That sounds awesome!
Age of empire 3 blood ice stone is the bestest... childhood memories 💝🔥😍
why is AOE2 still so much better than any of the new ones?
The Age of Mythology games were some of the most fun games I have ever played
I am 20 now. My very first computer game was AoE2: The Age of Kings.
My older brother installed it on the family computer when I was about 5 and it was one of the best things he could've done.
I love what they did with the Definitive Edition.
Age of Empires 2 is still the best, and HD brought new life into the franchise
Rất thiết thực, tôi đã rất khó khăn khi tìm kiếm những tựa game tương tự AOe2 cám ơn biên tập 😀
I like only age of empires 2 defenetive edition. The music and everything i can't tell how much i love this game!
1 серия для олдов 😭 помню как играл в 11лет
Es impresionante la evolucion de un juego tan antiguo
19/9/22 the music of aoe2 bring back so many sweet memories.. warchiefs and asian dynasties are my favourites🛡️⚔️
Why is this one of the most relaxing things to look at
Years ago, when this game first came out, my friends and I would get baked and play MP games of AOE while on a party call. Kids today don't know the struggle. lol
Lots of people wanted an AoE IV taking place in the industrial age but I can see major reasons why they decided against it:
-The central mechanic of creating a city from scratch and gathering basic resources (Food, gold, wood) from the map it wouldn't fit in a game taking place in the modern era. Every corner in the planet has already been reclaimed and industry has become much more complex.
-It would be very difficult to create modern era AoE game that doesn't feel like a ripoff of Command and Conquer; especially Generals.
-AoE II has so much prevalence that the fanbase will dislike anything that stray too far away from it. This kinda happened to Age of Mythology and AoE III.
Conterpoints?
"Every corner in the planet has already been reclaimed and industry has become much more complex."
Maybe simplify for the industrial age?
Age of Empires 2/HD/DE are master pieces
good video, you must have spend a lot of effort on this, my fav games of all time
Age of empires 1997 was my first aoe ever :)
I started playing from Aoe 1 - 2 - 3 - 4
Tbh i love 3 the most, 2 and 1 is the next ranking. 4 is the most dissappointed one, its a halfbaked Aoe 2. Scenario editor is not available on release is also a shame
Age of Empires 1 - best
Ages of empire 3 was my childhood. LOVED IT! Still play today!🎉🎉🎉
