Age of Empires 2 Intro (Uncut Version)

  • Back in Moscow, I've bought an Age of Empires 2 Age of Kings disc in one of the markets in the year when the real game was released. Then it came to pass that this game seemed to be in the earlier development stage. That includes a Joan of Arc campaign, map editor and, interestingly though, most of the units' sprites are from Age of Empires itself. But what eventually surprised me was that the intro video is quite longer than the one you have in your AoE II discs (I compared it with my friends). Watch it and you'll see more from the intro than you have before.
    Update (29/12/2009): Got a confirmation from a guy, who actually directed this video, that this is what I think it is. "I directed this cinematic back in 1997 when I worked at Rainbow Studios in the now-defunct Animation Division. We were the subcontractor hired by Ensemble to produce this. I can confirm that this is indeed the uncut version, one that was delivered to Ensemble as one of our interim milestones. We were asked to cut it way down for the final release but this is the version that we had always intended." - PDeNigris, director of the AoE 2 intro video

    My family was rather poor when I was a kid. The only electronics we had for entertainment was a slow Packard Bell computer running Windows 95 and a television set that would fuzz out at random. We had a few games for the PC, including Corsairs: Conquest at Sea, Combat Flight Simulator, and of course Age of Empires. When I was four years old, I played Age of Empires for the first time, and I was instantly hooked. It was the only game I would play on a daily basis for years to come. When I was six, my father acquired a new job with much better pay. Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings has been out for about a year, and my parents finally had enough money to buy me a new game. They surprised me one day with Age of Empires II, which immediately became my new favorite game with thousands of hours spent playing it.
    My family didn't have very much money back then, but I was happy with the little we had. Age of Empires I & II were games to explore my massive imagination. I never got into AOE3, though, and sometimes I wonder if I'm missing out on anything.

      Check AoE III out if you can. It is not that history-ish anymore (i.e., it still deals with the history of the world at large, but the individuals it depicts are most likely written from the scratch, they are not actual historical figures), focuses on the Age of Discovery and early industrial revolution (so you can probably expect some wigs, rifles, pirates and native americans), but still manages to keep the spirit of the first two games.

      @BiohazardCrow 8 лет назад +343

      It has a meaning of all that. The two kings in the chess table mean they once were friends to each other and suddenly they start to figth. They escalate the conflict until the last were one king (or both) was killed. the lonley soldier at the end holding that king chess piece mean that he really loves the kingdom and it's ruler following to death. When he drop the king of his hands mean that he fail to protect the king and there is nothing left. Only death and destruction at the end.

      Buğra Alparslan Well there was no age gaps for Kings. In medieval times in some regions you could become King at age 15 or at age 35-40 (If your father don't die and manage to go a healty life). Younger Kings were usually more dangerous than older Kings.

Those games were in the Top list of the world by that time. Specially AoE 2 Label in the forums and the gamers magazines as the most buyed/playing game in the world. Almost as famous as WoW, Dota II or League Of Legends today.

He said I should play 2, but I said I wanted to play in the proper order, so I played the original first, and he reluctantly went along with that. Later the second became my favourite game ever. The first is still in the top five of my favourite games ever.

    This has to be one of the best intros ever
    How the pieces are animated in their heads and it slowly becomes the real thing, and in the end, the king piece is the symbol

    Did you win?
    Green King: "Yes"
    And what did it cost you?
    Green King: "Everything...Why did you make me king...God?"
    I didn't.

    The animation on this is truly incredible, just look at it on 2:15 that looks crazy accurate to a group of archers scrambling to get into position, and the charge made by the footmen would've been better if they had their shields up, but still an incredible sequence.

    I love that the sound effects used in the cinematic are exactly the same as the ones in game
