The programmers and artists working on this project certainly solved several "Add Magic Invention Here" problems along the way. It's very rewarding to see our team's work turn out so well. We took a huge risk shooting for such a high level of graphical quality. I find myself happy on a daily basis about how great the game looks. Are you sure this game looks that good? Why is it important to include cutting edge graphics in an RTS game?ĭave Pottinger: Yes, it does look that good. The screenshots we've seen look too good to be true. Dave is showing off some of the new features at GDC this year but he was willing to offer us this advance look at what the new game offers. To find out more about the new engine we cornered Ensemble Studio's lead programmer and director of technology Dave Pottinger. Displaying the type of graphic effects normally reserved for first-person shooters, the Age of Empires 3 engine will set a new standard for real-time strategy games.

If it's even possible, Age of Empires III looks too damn good.
