Now that Age of Empires 1-3 have all been remastered with the newly released 'Definitive Editions', the fanbase's eyes are all on Age of Mythology, as I'm sure most of us hope AOM will also be treated with a Definitive Edition of its own.
While it can be argued that AOE 1-2 desperately needed a remaster, I feel that they're 2D visuals are more appealing than the dated 3D models and textures of AOM. Ironically, the older art style of AOE 2 has allowed it to survive longer while most 3D games of the early 2000's have fallen behind a lot in the graphics field. Even AOE 3, while also a 3D game, hasn't aged too badly, with the new Definitive Edition mostly being a visual polish rather than a complete makeover.
AOM, on the other hand, now stands as the ugliest looking game of the series, and I would say that the Extended Edition only made it look worse because of how much it oversaturated the colors. AOM needs a remaster more than any of the other games. A complete reworking of all the models, textures, and even the animations. I'd say even a port to the more updated version of the Havok engine in AOE 3.
The Chinese civilization also needs a complete reworking, both from an artistic and gameplay perspective, because good Lord that titan is hideous. I really hope Microsoft doesn't ignore AOM, and I hope we can see an Age of Mythology Definitive Edition before the end of 2021.
