Age of Empires 3 Website Live
E3 NEWS posted on 19 MAY 2005 by Sean Drummy
Ensemble Studios has just revealed another trick up their sleave for the highly anticipated Age of Empires 3: the release of its official website.
Ensemble Studios' decision to release Age of Empire 3, a real time strategy title purportedly based on the Age of Exploration has finally come to bear fruits: AgeofEmpires3.com is now live. Within the fledgling but nevertheless informative site Ensemble has packed in game features, civilization information, tons of new screenshots, and a blog from Ensemble's Bruce Shelley. Bruce holds no punches when he writes on AoE3 and the experience of having one of the hotest titles on the E3 floor. Read just a snippet here:
The big upcoming event is, of course, E3 itself. We will have something like 14 PC stations set up running Age of Empires III demos. ES is sending over a group of people to E3 this year and most will be spending some time each day at our demo stations. It has been a tradition at ES to send a demo contingent to E3 when we launch a new game. We think we do a better job demonstrating our own game than a PR person. We think store owners and worldwide media like actually meeting people who are making the game. Our people enjoy getting feedback direct from customers. It is great for morale and we come back pumped up for the final push. The E3 trip is also a sort of team-building exercise. We can tell our staff is getting more mature, however, because it has been a couple of E3s since we were asked to leave a restaurant. Look for a huge Age of Empires III banner to be hanging off the Los Angeles Convention Center.Get more information on the third installment to the enormously popular Age of Empire series at Age of Empires 3.com.
