  • Age of Mythology Retold is coming September 4, 2024 to Xbox and PC. Information and history of the Kraken (turn on subtitles):
    Scientific name: Psychroteuthis pelagii
    Size: 60,000+ lbs
    Diet: deep-sea fish and crustaceans
    Myth unit. Krakens can sink ships or throw soldiers.
    A creature from the sea so large that on the surface it was mistaken for a chain of islands, the Kraken is found in Norse mythology. Seamen were often lost when they camped on what they thought was an island, only to be drowned when the creature swam back to the bottom of the sea. It had large tentacles and suckers with which it could seize large ships and drag them down. The Norse believed the Kraken would rise to the surface at the end of the world.
    This cinematic was made using the "Age of Mythology™: The Titans Expansion Pack" video game, with the intent of creative expression. The final version of the New X Editor (available at AOM Heaven) was utilized. All elements are original to the game; no mods were used.

      Man did this beastie capture my imagination when I played the demo WAY back in '01... or was it '02?

    I have read every unit descriptions multiple times when i was a child. I remember telling my mom all the diets of the mythical creatures and i have learned a LOT. I still remember how Ajax is the son of the King of Salamis and how Satyrs only eat grapes and drink wine. Best addition to a game ever.

    Nice fog at 0:30
    Scene at 1:00 is priceless: the falling and rotating objects as well as the overall blue murkiness
    Would love to see which editor tricks were used in this cinematic!

    Given the tools I'm sure we'll have available for AoM Retold, I cannot wait to see what your cinematics will look like when it comes out!

    I don't know how difficult or time consumptive it will be for the tools you use to be usable in Retold, but I can't wait to see what you come up with in their new engine

    You will do cinematics on Retold.

  • @keket2261
    @keket2261 Před 5 dny +1

    Good quality of video montage, but honestly i prefer when you only use scenes that are doable in-game.

    • @Anraheir
      @Anraheir  Před 5 dny +1

      These scenes are doable in-game (exception is the rotating sinking ship, which I captured without playtesting the scenario); problem is that the map area would be too big for the engine to handle.
