I made a movie of all cutscenes in Age of Mythology. By the way I'll upload in 720p by now. Enjoy! If I see you like this video I'll make one of the Titans expansion too.
der squid I played the game and recorded the video footage using Fraps. For this instance I skipped ahead using cheat codes. After recording I edited the recording with this movie as an end result. Cutscene files don't exist unfortunately. The game creates the cutscenes in real time. I mean the game plays itself while controling the camera; zooming in/out, rotating and change orientation of the camera. In other words; it doesn't play any videos during the cutscenes. You can however find the sound files; they're located in sound.bar; a file in the Program Files of the game. I can't exactly tell which folder by head, but it is easy to find as I remember. You will need a program to extract the .bar file, which you can download from Aomheavens.
der squid You can not convert them unfortunately, since the cutcenes files don't contain any video information. The cutscenes files contain some sort of script that the game executes.
This game is so underrated. It was one of the best strategy games I've ever played. Great campaign, awesome scenario creator and a fun multiplayer. Rest in peace, Ensemble. You taught history and mythology in the best way possible.
I totally agree with you, it's still my favorite game! It's not only the best strategy game; it's also the best game of all games ever made! :) You can still play online via Voobly. You can add me on skype (username=dream4playz), then we'll pick a date and we can play AOM together! :)
grimli16 AOM has got an option to change the resolution, so you can make the game in HD yourself by changing the resolution. I don't see why anyone would invest in an AOM HD Edition.
@@tipoomaster I personally want a proper sequel to this game as opposed to a full on remake. I'm really getting sick to damn death of the gaming industry putting out nothing but mindless remakes year after year with nothing new ever being thrown in. I can understand remaking an old game to update the graphics to where they match up to currently technology. But the same time. Don't waste perfectly good sequel opportunity just to give the old game some technical improvements. Seriously Microsoft!!! Stop cheating people out of money with copy and paste first person shooter nonsense!!! And do something with an old IP that's still beloved!!! I know you've got it in you!!! You greedy bastards!!!!
One small detail that I really liked about the story line of the campaign was the puzzled ignorance that the characters had about different cultures. When the Atlantean forces meet the Norse you really get the feeling that both sides are thinking, "who the hell are these guys...". Little details like this are what make good games great.
16:21 at this moment i realize how great this campaign. The people at Ensemble Studios did their homework on greek mythology and understood that the god's would play with the mortals down below. Zeus led Arkantos to Amanra on purpose to placed in that predicament.
I love the moment you realize Poseidon isn't exactly on your side... I'd pay hundreds to get an updated version with the game, perhaps with expanded lore about the scheming between the Gods.
best game ever made. the children of this time doesn't realize about the epic knowledge and good scenarios of this game and they moved on to gta 5 and play the game like shit, on my opinion this game is the great epic game.
but this is the number 1 strategy game I've ever played Im nostalgic i remember i got it as a xmas present, I was 8 years old I believe... or 9. Actually my parents bought me AoE 2 Gold Edition, within the box, there was a mistake, it contained THIS JEWEL!! the Titans Expansion to be exact, man first I was so confused, but when I started playing it, I discovered a fucking jewel of a game, I wish I could play this again :(
Thank for the story buddy It's my fav game I used to plan attacks even in my dreams and the mesmerizing theme music always used to be there when I used to wake up and spend my days in school Subscribed your channel👍
@@dream4playz the death of chiron is not comming perfect to the frame and can you tell me how poseidon attacks the atlantan people? Is it because he was worshipped by the cyclop/one eye 👀 😅😅
Trevor McGuffee arkantos is kinda a leader and a smart guy (not the smartest). Hes reckless and fearless in battlefield and hes a state amd religious man. About ajax: hes kinda the brute one, a good friend but a strong fighter. He's not the most clever of the heros but hes the guy who you should always count with even in the darkest times. Oddisseus: we dont know a lot about him in AoM campaign so i will only say that hes smart and a loyal friend. Agammenon: Cocky king, maybe he would be doomed if its not cuz oddysseus suggested trojan horse. Amanra: pretty chill, loyal friend and a religious and fierceful woman. i left a lot out ikr but these are the ones that i remember
They are selling this game on steam in a month. This was my fav game ever and I am so glad I can play it again. When my disk broke I was very sad! This is a great game!
Man, you've got rights! I can see in your comment you did pay for this game and now you can't play it anymore. I think it's fair to you and to Microsoft aswell, if I send you my files, so you can play the game again without buying it again. Add me on Skype and I'll send them: dream4playz
Click right on the shortcut (Or the .exe file) > Properties > Compability. And it you can set the compability as other operative system. (Windows XP for example) and open it as an admin. Sorry for late reply, i was busy :v
So I just wanted to ask this because I want to understand what makes games great. What was it about this game for you that made it one of the greatest games ever?
You can, I heard if you take your time to search for solutions on Google, there is a solution for almost everyone. It's different for everyone though. Good luck my friend, hope to see you soon on Voobly! ;)
I checked out voobly and apparently i had to make an account but it was kinda late and i wasnt bothered at the time. Also, its confirmed you cant play it via disc because it doesnt have a compatible driver. We followed all the steps and it still didnt work, then we looked it up online and it said thhat it didnt have a compatible driver on windows ten. Also, there is a steam version for like $30 but apparently its buggy. Also about voobly, are you sure its virus free and isnt illegal?
I've been using Voobly for ages, it's a great program to play Age of Mythology online; I prefer Voobly over it's competitor GameRanger. The steam version is worse than the original version, but it's still a good option if you can't get the original version. You can get the steam version on G2A for about $10 I think. Also I heard you can solve the problem by installing either a no-cd patch for the original version or either install the needed driver manually. I haven't tried these things myself though, since all my computers are either running Windows 7 or Windows XP. Good luck! :)

HD Remake on steam incomming... 1 month

its not sold anymore, i wont pirate it and also i dont trust amazon or ebay users
il pay for AOM i dont care about the HD
grimli16 Okay, now I understand. I totally respect that! :)
Omg, I loved this game, I used to play the shit out of it when I was little.
7:00 That pause after Ajax asked if the Trojan Horse will fight.lol
I wish AoM has its own full modern 3D remake. The story is damn good
True, I just imagined how it would look if was made with the technology we have today. :-D
Haaklong Nguyệt using the cryengine or frostbite 3 would be epic. Imagine the look of anubis warriors or hoplites in HD
Heck yes. Or a sequel.

Before Kratos there was Arkantos
😂😂😂

This alone deserves like at least 7 on IMDB honestly. The story and script is so good, voice acting is also spot on!
26:57 - Gargarensis - followed Nietzsche, before it was cool.
16:21 at this moment i realize how great this campaign. The people at Ensemble Studios did their homework on greek mythology and understood that the god's would play with the mortals down below. Zeus led Arkantos to Amanra on purpose to placed in that predicament.
So the reason they met Amanra was because Zeus wanted to do a crossover between Egyptians and Greek? That was pretty *cash money of Zeus to do.*
Oh my god the subtitles....
Arkantos = Our candles
Im dying right now.
belive it or not i still have my old disc that i bought 7 years ago and guess what I'M STILL PLAYING
well I still have a working copy of the alpha
Chanatip Plengvidhya Same tbh
Me 2
I still have mine from 20 years ago.
oh the nostalgia
You don't have to be nostalgic anymore. This game is on Steam now.
8:07 You definetly need to get the boats repaired
Just imagine if the boats were in good shape, ragnarok would've run it's course
No comments? What a shame, AoM is such an epic game.
I agree with you, it's such a nice game! :)
Fortunatily there are some comments now! :)
well its now over a hundred
Someone should make this story of age of mythology into a movie immediately
Magnificent work dear friend! This worked very good to remind me of a wonderful story!
They should make a movie about this story about Age of Mythology immediately
One of the best campaigns in the RTS game genre I have ever played!
PROSTAGMA
Its been long years I cant figure out whats that word mean lol
+Mnsgrn it means "yes?" probably. Malista
Vulumay
I study ancient greek at school, it means "command" or "order" :)
+Calimë The Brown Command me is be the best translation.
lol 6:16
"crap, we ran out of money in the VA budget, and we need someone to voice a messenger"
"eh, just get one of the junior programmers to do it"
The plot is super simple and well-written now that I'm rewatching all this as a grown adult. Nigh-flawless game really.
I'm watching this as a teenager and back then I was just 11 years old
12:36 there seem to be some extra heros
Sean Whitehall lol
Wow never noticed
Guess which game I'm playing again at ;)
I love the moment you realize Poseidon isn't exactly on your side...
I'd pay hundreds to get an updated version with the game, perhaps with expanded lore about the scheming between the Gods.
This could honestly work as a Netflix series if it's done right.

This scene at 41:56 made me thinking these two were a badass duo as a kid, at least until I ended up searching Greek Mythology myself years later.
what does Greek mythology say?
and more importantly - IS THE actress voice Behind ATHENA same Person FOR Athena in god of war games 1 thru 3? :P (she sounds soo hot)
i miss this game il buy it on steam but the price is unfair tho cause il buy one for me and one for my father
Miss this game. 💜
Just sat watching all of this. Some would call me sad.. I would call me a legend.
The voice actor for the Cyclops reminds me of Gray Fox from MGS1
This game is one of the best memories from my childhood
I played this game 15yrs ago
I bought my disc from Office Depot. I got 2 games for the price of $10. I'm playing my game now :D. I hate the Troy Wooden Horse part :/
Thanks for making this mate.
This game was my childhood along with AoE1 & 2
heey, wtf happened with the greek man villagers? :D too much solarium? :)
Thank for the story buddy
It's my fav game
I used to plan attacks even in my dreams and the mesmerizing theme music always used to be there when I used to wake up and spend my days in school
Subscribed your channel👍
I am glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your subscription and I hope you will enjoy my upcoming videos as well. 🙂
@@dream4playz I see my comment is the first here for this year... 😅
Thanks for replying
Still watching the video
@@dream4playz the death of chiron is not comming perfect to the frame and can you tell me how poseidon attacks the atlantan people? Is it because he was worshipped by the cyclop/one eye 👀 😅😅
@@manasdey7955 Sorry bro, made this video in 2013, so I don't remember a thing. 😕😅
When will they remaster this game ... maybe god of war??? Hahaha
They already have: Age of Mythology Extended Edition
My fav character is Amanra
"Be quiet back there!"
Mine's Ajax.
Odysseus is my fav
I dont know if there's a story like this in the whole mythology, if not then this is just a masterpiece from scratch
Does this not include the scene where ajax shoots the guy with the ballista?
Tim Timothy It ought to be complete as I remember.
We surrender come a bit closer
I had no idea America used to own Greece.... +love how Odysseus no longer comes up with the wooden horse :)
PLEASE HD/4k Ultra REMAKE THIS GAME!
Awesome!!!
SuperminerGames ty :)
25:02 one of the most satisfying cutscenes in the game.
I hope there can be an animated series of this
12:30
Just found their doppelgangers
Please do a cutscenes of Age of Mythology: Tale of the Dragon
I don't have the game, so I can't record any of it, sorry! :(
This story was so cool for an RTS.
Could someone please post about the main characters personalities? I have a idea, but other people's opinions and thoughts would be great.
Trevor McGuffee arkantos is kinda a leader and a smart guy (not the smartest). Hes reckless and fearless in battlefield and hes a state amd religious man.

As a child the campaign was hard for me to do so I kept spamming the cheat commands to complete (yes I know) the whole campaign
dude, with respect -- WHY is it *echoing* during the cutscenes? im very confused. O_o
No idea, I have never noticed any echo.
taken prison but guards didnt bother removing their weapons 😂 19:30
I dont know why the track in 5:20 isn't in the OST. Like an individual track. Its so good.
I found the tug of war mission very hard that I hard to use cheats to ease myself. Through it
It's so sad that this game doesn't work on Windows 7
+Ruandrè Oosthuizen It works only if you change the compatibility settings and the admin permissions... It worked for me on Windows 7
+YukariMT15 | Matydel42008 How do I do that my friend? Excuse me if I sound stupid but I'm not too good with the whole PC thing.
Click right on the shortcut (Or the .exe file) > Properties > Compability. And it you can set the compability as other operative system. (Windows XP for example) and open it as an admin.

ॐ peace music
I want to see a remastered version of this. I would shit my pants
Nice
Thank you! :)
