Gamespot has an interview (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/ageofempiresiii/preview_6127470.html) up with Dave Pottinger, of Ensemble Studios about their upcoming Age of Empires III.

We're not talking specifically about individual features yet, but it's safe to say that we've expanded and built upon every area in the multiplayer code. It's cooler, faster, safer, and more robust. Along with that, we're dedicating a specific team, post-ship, to manage the community and do updates, which is something we've never done before. Hopefully, both of those things will give us a great multiplayer experience and community for Age III.

They also have an official trailer for the game, which you should really check out. You can download it here (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/ageofempiresiii/index.html).

That trailer is oh so sweet. I am pumped. Now I just need a new computer that can run a game that graphics intensive...:p

The ships' rigging and masts being smashed by a cannon was my favorite from the movie. So so awesome, and they are the right size too!

Edit: looks like they traded ship scale for building scale (http://www.ageofempires3.com/ScreenshotsMedia/ScreenshotView.aspx?ss=Fortcliff_1600x1200.jpg). You got it right in AOE2, what's wrong with doing it again? :(

That is just incredible! This is the AOE I have been waiting on. I cannot wait till this is released.

OMG! This is not ingame right? I mean it can't be ingame, looks way to good for that. I wonder how this will work on my PC, I guess I better start saving for a new rig once this comes out.

Btw, I wonder if they will do like Blizzard does? You know, put great movies to a great storyline. Sometimes I watch the Diablo II movies again because they are so damn good. IMO I would love to see a whole movie from Blizzard. Would easily beat the Final Fantasy movie.

The ingame stuff is towards the end...but it still looks very good.
