Age of EmpiresIII--9800XT user will miss glow effect

If you've seen the early screenshots and movies, then you know that Age of Emprise III looks spectacular. And yes, the game looks as good as the screens, especially if you have a high-end video card capable of high dynamic range lighting, which creates light that looks more natural, and gives everything a soft glow. Of course, only the latest video cards are capable of supporting HDR lighting, so we also tried out Age of Empires III on an older, Radeon 9800XT. The game still looks great, though the soft lighting effects were missing

Gamespot的人員已經先試玩過Age Of EmpireIII的一部分內容了，在這份
兩頁的Preview中，我們可以對AOE3的遊戲特色有更進一步的了解。

Age of EmpireIII將以世紀帝國2的中世紀後，航海探索的15世紀為始。延續
三百餘年的歷史至工業時代後的19世紀。在遊戲中我們將經歷歐洲文化史的大
航海殖民時期與近代的火槍兵器，接觸不同於中世紀騎士時代的歷史體驗。

不過AOE3以其支援ShaderModel3.0，與之前令人為之驚艷的截圖更是玩家
注目的焦點。值得慶幸的是我們目前看到的截圖就跟gs人員實際遊玩所看到
的一樣好。只要使用一張高端顯示卡，可以支援HDR Lighting的，遊戲中的物
件將更為自然，並且有著柔焦的效果讓整體視效更上層樓。

對於那些使用ATi 9800XT用戶而言，這項功能則令人遺憾地無法開啟。不過雖
然沒有了soft glow，AOE3的畫面仍是相當優秀。以此趨勢，目前使用ATi X系
列的用戶(X700/X800/X850等)很可能屆時亦無法完整體驗AOE3的最高等級視
覺效果。

Age of EmpiresIII將於今年10月中旬上市，屆時ATi R520與RV5x0產品也可能
已經發表了。若想要在AOE3的新世紀(A.D 1500~1850)中體驗完整的特效，準
備一張中階以上的Geforce6與尚未有明確上市時程的ATi R5X0 以上的顯示卡才
是玩家的首選.

近距離排射 :jolin:
玩慣了羅馬之類的遊戲
看到這張圖還真有點不習慣 :ase

Settlers still gather resources, but they no longer need to shuffle them back and forth to a drop-off point. As long as the settlers are actually working, the resources will accumulate in your stockpile.


村民採集東西不需要蓋伐木廠之類的收集站了。 : :eek::eek::eek:


The hero is not only tougher and more capable than regular units, but he is the only one who can recover the treasure that is randomly scattered around the map. This treasure can come in the form of extra resources, experience points, or even an item that you can equip a hero with to make him even more powerful. Keep in mind that each treasure node is guarded by a wild animal (ranging from wolves and bears to wildcats) or bandits, so it's useful to attach some musketeers or other military units to assist the hero in defeating them. Moreover, your hero cannot die. If he is taken down in the wilderness, he'll simply heal back up eventually. And if he is captured, you can ransom him back or try to free him by force.

英雄可以撿取特殊物品，這些特殊物品有的會增加資源收入、有些可以加強英雄的能力。不過這些特殊物品會有野生動物在周圍守護。 :shock: :shock: :shock:


這不是魔獸嗎？


One of your main goals will be to advance ages as quickly as possible, as you can only get access to advanced military units and other technologies in later ages. As with the earlier Age games, you must stockpile enough resources in order to advance. But a big new difference is that when you advance to a new age, you get to select what kind of politician you wish to lead you. This can affect the types of bonuses you get. For example, in the fortress age you may choose between the governor, the admiral, or the Mohawk (assuming you've made friends with a nearby Native American tribe). Choose the governor, and you get extra settlers and musketeers; the Mohawk gives you native warriors, and the admiral gives you another ship and extra wood.


升級時代時可以藉由選擇政治體系。 :nonono: :nonono: :nonono:


王國的興起？



如果真的是這樣，那可能到時候玩起來會很失望。 :flash::flash::flash:



吃不到葡萄說葡萄酸。 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

風景不錯，但感覺滿糟的 :jolin:

距離太近，還有雙方人馬中間有一堆煙絲不知是衝啥= =

屍體感覺僵硬..

玩過American Conquest、Cossacks II的火槍大戰場面後應該就會對這樣子感到糟糕...

是非常的糟糕。 :jolin: :jolin: :jolin:


注意看屍體其實是浮在空中的。 :stupefy: :stupefy: :stupefy:

本來還滿心期待.............但現在心頭已涼了半截..................|||
就像世紀爭霸二那樣................ =_=凸



( 我承認我是吃不到葡萄說葡萄 XD )

應該是測試版本吧! :unbelief: 微軟遊戲工作程式人員沒有那麼笨,也許放出圖片給大家
看看過癮就好 :rolleyes:

不如等正式版本出來再批評不遲啊! :agree:

實際玩才知道吧 :jolin:
神話世紀當初看截圖也是覺得畫面很爛,但是真的買回家玩的時候發現畫面其實很棒 :laugh:

我看我九月就可以脫手6600gt了 :unbelief:

死亡時的姿勢單調了點...............
