AOE 2 HD Remake

[What]

Is it any different or just the same game with updated graphics, which may not be a bad idea since i tried to load it on my laptop but I couldnt downgrade the graphics enough for the game to load properly.

Exactly the same game, possibly some new features or improvements but I've heard it's nothing more than AoE II with an HD palette (it's not a remake, just remastered, i.e. it still looks pretty much the same as it did a decade ago but is 'optimized' for higher resolutions).

I've also heard horror stories of the game bugging out/reducing in frame rate horribly when more than ten units are on screen. YMMV. Seems like a rip at $20 imo considering $5-10 gets you new releases on Steam these days.

I'm all about the total war games... mainly medieval 2 and empire... but AOE is good times.
