I believe it isn't slow, just a lot of simultaneous downloads, so if all of you canceled your downloads...

EDIT: ok all done

[Gramphos]

That was mush faster

What the hell is Infogrames?

At the beginning of the spot it shows a symbol for Infogrames then a symbol for Firaxis games. Is Infogrames a typo for Infogames?

Nope it is supposed to be Infogrames ... and i think their symbol might be an armadillo.

Very good movie. First I thought the whole idea was just a spin round the Tower of Babylon, but then I saw the tower's slowly morphing into modern style. And when the main title appear and the music gets less subtle, there's definetively vibes in the air.

I liked Smac's intro maybe a little bit more than this. I would have loved again some quote... Damn

Smac's intro's quote is the only piece of Bible I know by heart. (thankfully I don't have to learn more... I consider myself an atheist)

"Therefor the lord God send him forth....."

Ok. I have an odd perversion about quotes.

Well, I kinda liked it, nothing really too special. It sounds and looks like one of the original Age of Empires videos. (never played AoK) I'm glad that it's not much longer, Firaxis is right, the videos are just something I'll skip after the first 2 times playing. This one, even as pretty as it is, is not an exception.

I really liked the music, it's very rich and full sounding. Also, there's a ton of background sounds used that sound great, rippling water, geese, wind blowing. I hope the game has the same rich ambient sound.

I hope the vicotry videos at the end are more exciting. I never skip those, no matter how often I've played the game. After 30 hours for one game I want to sit back and enjoy every second of the video and intently pour over the game replay.
