This is actually really beautiful. The amount of detail they worked on for each building. Just magnificent.

[UnfamiliarPlace]

This is how remasters should be made. Faithful yet with all the details added in that memory used to add... DE looks like how I remember AoE2 looking when I was 8.

[mrnobody]

Just here to see if the mongol great tent collapses in a different way, was not disappointed.

[gilbertandrew]

Wonders collapsed in HD version : *beautiful cinematic

Wonders collapsed in ori Version : ADIOS

[tyraelpl]

Those fall apart animations are insanely impressive. Notice how wooden viking temple falls apart quite differently than stone buildings.

[warbacca]

Okay, the Mongols was the one I was most curious about seeing destroyed and I really like how they kept the identity of a tent by not making it shatter completely, but the cloth kinda flutters down

[jhtiger]

Blizzard...You guys should be shamed. This is what Remaster should be.

[LuciusVorenusCL]

Everyone is talking about the animations, but let's take a moment to appreciate the different cultures music.

Eargasm

[unrealsimon]

Damn..watching these amazing wonders collapsing into the dust in glorious HD and high details really hurt lol

[Punisher]

i just watched 10 minutes of buildings collapsing... WHY!?

[vertigo]

Wonder: starts collapsing
Flames: AIGHT IMA HEAD OUT

[Danymok]

That moment when the Pyramids of Giza catch on fire and collapse

8:00

[thecomradered]

The management of the Portuguese wonder hotel would like to inform all guests that the pool will be closed indefinitely after the remodelling of the exterior facade.

[ulrickts]

Temple of Heaven: *Collapses*
Local Vegetation: *"Well, guess I'll die then..."*

[Distrido]

Probably the best remaster even made. A lot of work done with respect of original game and fans, not a simple "free money" selling product. Thanks to the devs and Microsoft for doing this remaster well, unlike some other companies...

[juanjuri]

really digging the paintjob on the aztec + maya wonders. also I appreciate how the collapse animations are different depending on yhe building material. you can tell a lot of care went into this.

[lucasfigueroa]

1:21 Any similarity with reality is pure coincidence...

[FaithfulOfBrigantia]

I really enjoy when they start colapsing in a small area in the base, leading to the colapse of what it sustains such as in the Goths 1:50 And also when its a single tower who colapses and its weight hitting the surface bellow leads to the collapse of the rest, such as the Malay 6:40 instead of those times they simply start crumbling all over the place.

Also Wooden structures look really neat, and the Mongol great Tent's physics are perfect.

[barbarameza]

Came here to cleanse my soul after that Warcraft reforged launch

[swiftlaker]

Huge props to the developers, this was so awesome. I absolutely love the rubble mechanics. So much attention to detail. I loved every one of the remastered building, but in my opinion I do prefer the old Britons wonder.
