Well shit. When I was younger I dreamt of having AoE2 on my PS2. Little did I know this happened... Would've saved me from having to make excuses to continue playing on our family PC for a little longer. My sister was addicted to using our PC as well so we would fight over it.
Microsoft owns the Age of Empire franchise and their name is on the box of this PS2 port. Although this game slightly predates the release of the original XBox its still interesting to see.
Woah, the music track sounds different. Like the same MIDI data, but different MIDI instruments. Really weird. Also the field of view is abysmally small, you can barely fit the whole town centre in there haha
the music is not prerecorded, I think they are actually MIDI files or something like that, so the music comes from the ps2 synth card. weird indeed, the only other game i know that uses the sound card for music on the 6th generation is silent hill 2.
Roberto Prieto Velàzquez Ah yep I know it's not prerecorded, which is why I said the MIDI instruments might be different. Interesting to know that the PS2 has its own synth files. It's so weird because it sounds very close, but not quite exactly the same.
i once made a ringtone with my old Sony Ericcson phone which had some small "dj-app" for ringtone making. When i sent the file to my pc i opened it with FL Studio and it changed it completely. Way better quality and clear instruments sounds.
+Fredrik Sjule i really loved this game but never could able to win matches online. i felt uncompetitive at all, probably i'm not born for executive management tasks
Can you use a usb keyboard and mouse to play this game on the playstatipon 2? I'd love to know since I would like to try the game on the playstation 2. Edit: I read the description and it says it does support keyboard and mouse, that's cool! Edit 2: The keyboard hotkeys are also setup by default, it should be pretty playable.
+Adronator98 I bought the game for pc in 1999, but it didn't play automatically, I had to explore the cd to play it on Windows media player lol, the new AoEII HD plays this music.
lol i didn't know this existed. the hud is so huge the game aspect ratio ends up looking almost the same as my ultrawide screen. except i can see 40 times more area in one screen than this.
I have this game, my pc didn't run any games back in the day so I saw this in a game store for the PlayStation 2, man, I was so happy! Until I played... I bought a special game pc and my life changed. I don't know, but the AI in this version is ridiculously hard, on my copy they build a wall of barracks instead of actual walls...
Actually, Big Huge made Rise of Nations and Rise of Legends.

Como mierda juegas con un controlador de play 2 un juego que se juega solo con mouse? psdt: el instrumental del juego se escucha mejor en play station no se si fui el único que es dio cuenta que el soundtrack era algo diferente al orginal? :v
No mames we, si fuera el caso del mouse se puede jugar mas o menos bien. El problema es que si quieres jugar bien necesitas usar el teclado, asi que estas limitado a jugar de forma lenta.

raios, yo le veo difícil eso de jugar con mando :'v
ademas, en play 2 le faltan animaciones y los gráficos parecen de juego de telefono java ;v no es que me guste dar tanta importancia a los gráficos, pero ya me acostumbre a ver el aoe2 todo bien bonito xd
...doesn't Microsoft make the Age Of... series? I can't see them making PlayStation games... maybe they soul the team (studio) that did it... I'll research a bit...
there is a old trick to skirmish, build a castle close to the enemy and keep building .. they will give up very quikly. too quikly . regicide is better as you can build wonders without a time limit.
Y yo que decía que se sería estúpido que la sacaran para consola. En serio, ¿a quién le pareció buena idea sacar este juego para PS2? Aunque igual me lo quiero comprar.
Cuando sacaron el juego para la consola ya había sido todo un éxito en el mundo de la PC. Creo que por eso se dieron el lujo de portearlo en consola. El tema es que por esos años la PS2 recién estaba ganándole terreno a la PSX y era muy difícil comprarla porque era cara, además el hardware de la nueva generación era muy bueno para este juego. Yo creo que lo debieron haber lanzado para PSX ya que el mercado estaba consolidado y le daba el hardware para levantar ésta versión además el juego salió en compac disc y no en DVD. Creo que sin lugar a duda se trató de un experimento.
Interesting to see Microsoft port a game on a rival console.
It was before the release of the Xbox.
Konami released it on PS2.
Especially since they literally released their own console in the same month that this came out 🤣
Goodness I remember this. Wasn’t as awkward as people said. The most random port I’ve ever seen on the ps2
When you're collecting more stone and gold than wood and food in the dark age
When you're taking a demonstration of an obscure port of a game seriously from someone who doesn't even fucking like RTS games.
@@Mysterious0Bob then dont show RTS games, loser
@@FN--ky6my Why so salty?

No sabes como te entiendo! Me paso exactamente igual!

how did people play this on a ps2 controller? what the hell? i would find it extremely hard to play, i need my hotkeys pls!
Its a bit awkward, but if it's all you're used to, then you get the hang of it
+Ken Lu (Holistic Gamer) Back in the day, I had a keyboard and mouse which was compatible with the PS2.
***** what there was such thing???
Ken Lu
Yeah, look them up. They're not very good, but modern stuff can be made to work.
***** cool will do
can someone explain why animations have less frames than the pc version?
the move of villagers is like .GIF O.o
How a game from Microsoft end up in PS2 and not in the original XBOX?
Konami.
the PS2 sold massively more than the original Xbox

In fact you can see the Microsoft logo on the main menu in this video.
I just bought this for 3 dollars here in europe for my ps2. Love the pc game its awesome to own a physical copy of this game for collecting purposes
+Fredrik Sjule i really loved this game but never could able to win matches online. i felt uncompetitive at all, probably i'm not born for executive management tasks
The music sounds a bit different...

Music sounds weird very
My life.. is not... complete... without this game on the PS2... I need this....... I'll be back after a couple minutes, I gotta go to eBay
So? You buy it? How it feels playing this port?
I like the bit changed Music
I played the shit of this on the PS2 !
That resolution haha
720 x480 i think ^^
Graphics dont matter, You child
On an SDTV it was like perfect resolution.
That Xbox One experience.
It’s a ps2 game what do u expect
How to start
H shift A.
2AQ... 1AQ
Ctrl 1
I just buy this game to my new ps2 slim, and I wonder could i play split-screen on this aoe2version? :)
I agree with you. It is strange
The thing that's strange here is that you built a mill near the first 4 sheep where you could have make them go to the TC. That's 100 wood lost.
how can i to break the enemy walls?
What I want to know is how come America did not get this port wtf...
Is this music part of the game, I can't recall the PC version having music?
Yes it is. The PC version has music too,
+Adronator98 I bought the game for pc in 1999, but it didn't play automatically, I had to explore the cd to play it on Windows media player lol, the new AoEII HD plays this music.
you can enter cheats ??? example: rock on or robin hood ??? or some similar trick?
you're asking the good questions
lol i didn't know this existed.
the hud is so huge the game aspect ratio ends up looking almost the same as my ultrawide screen.
except i can see 40 times more area in one screen than this.
Finally I got it for my ps2 💪💪💪💪
Ah, thanks for explaining.
Yeah few companies have lasted long in the videogame making era. Shame or to be expected? Hmmmm....
It's like playing a SNES game I gotta say...
No, not at all
Can't say I've ever heard or this version of the game. Quite obscure.
Not as strange as Starcraft for N64?
I have this game, my pc didn't run any games back in the day so I saw this in a game store for the PlayStation 2, man, I was so happy! Until I played... I bought a special game pc and my life changed. I don't know, but the AI in this version is ridiculously hard, on my copy they build a wall of barracks instead of actual walls...
There are dogs?
great thing!
how ps2?
they made it for the ps2 nearly 2 decades ago lol
I don't understand, what is strange about it? I'm quite used to playing it.
Actually, Big Huge made Rise of Nations and Rise of Legends.

Vart N pues esta versión permite que se conecte un mouse y teclado USB de computadora

The Non-HD PC version still looks better.

No, the hd edition looks better
God playing this must be hell
is it original or mod ? please answer fast please
This is a real thing yes
you use your controller to play
they say so :O I just buy it and waiting for this game to come to me from germany xD
comand and conquer on the ps2! its fun but beware you wont have the time or resources to complete every campaign . even on easiest.
+fooking work you're thinkin of ps1
ps2 plays ps1 disks. so what s your point?
any way it was ps2 so get you facts right.
+fooking work well... C&C ps1 campaigns are impossible
fooking work
C&C is only on ps1. No ps2 releases. Don't be an ego wanker lol.
At least the music is good
Mill drops the sheep haha
Parece versión de SNES
THAT resolution xD
Make this happen!- Age of Empires 3 PC port to PS4 with only mouse and keyboard support.
Lisinski Gaming >AoE 3
>PS4
Boi
Play the PC version. It is miles better.
I actually own this and I can confirm that it sucks (due to low res / bad controlls)
sounds like Gameboy Advance music xD which isnt really a bad thing tbh :p
What
Wololo
I loved this game haha
Verga bien
Y yo que decía que se sería estúpido que la sacaran para consola. En serio, ¿a quién le pareció buena idea sacar este juego para PS2? Aunque igual me lo quiero comprar.

Yo lo sigo teniendo en ps2..es una de mis joyas mas preciadas
