1. Not getting a whole rig to play Age, man.
2. I prefer consoles.
3. Have you tried it? It's unreal on a controller. Truly remarkable.

Once Rare Replay hits, I'm selling this Series X. There's no point of owning their hardware now.

I'd quite like that on my Switch, seems more fitting there.

At this point I think Xbox plans to take over by boring Playstation gamers to death.

 

[Horseganador]

Another one to the list.

Never tried mouse and keyboard on a console before. Just curious do you know if like a pc esque mouse cursor appears and allows you to drag all your units pc style at that point?

 

[Judge Magister]

Don't worry Game Pass will save Xbox.

Yes. It's just like the PC version. Same with FPS, most of the best FPS on console have m/kb support now.

 

[Leviathicus]

Anyone ever played an rts like this on controller before? it seems awkard af

 

[Bert Big Balls]

LOL, there goes my Xbox!

Last thing keeping me holding on.

The PS5 is an Xbox!

 

[Fake]

The priest converted the Xbox to a fucking PS5.

 

[RayBoy]

Only four games.

havent played any recent ones like AoM/AoE4 but I did play Halo wars a bunch years ago. It's better than I thought with use of radial menus and such. Def not as good as mouse but it gets the job done for casual play.

 

[Skifi28]

Curious how they play with a controller. I already have them on PC, but I might just douple dip for the lulz and a few trophies.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Only four games.

Whoever believed it, is a moron.

Controller sucks. It is too slow.

 

[Hudo]

Not sure if I would ever want to play these masterpieces on a console but for those that don't do PC gaming it's certainly cool. Age 2 and Mythology are among the best games the RTS genre has to offer.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Only four games.

Maybe he meant only 4 good games. In that case we got like 3 more to look forward to.

 

[GrayDock]

Only four games.

He said only 4! As 4 fatorial...

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Dope. Love age of empires, I'll definitely be buying at some point.

 

[BlackTron]

I wonder if they will ever say eff it and throw Starcraft on there?

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Surprised Sony hasn't put out an official KB/M for PS5. I'd love to hear an explanation for why they haven't.

 

[MMaRsu]

That would be amazing, rts games need to make a comeback

 

[adamsapple]

Surprised Sony hasn't put out an official KB/M for PS5. I'd love to hear an explanation for why they haven't.

... because any generic USB KB/M works?

 

[Saber]

As long it doesn't have stupid log in or aways online mandatory stuff, then I'm fine with it. I like the first Age of Empires.

Aoe2 is a top 5 videogame of all time
