Several weeks ago xPaw and Marlamin of steamdb.info parsed all of the Steam Game Hub's for the unknown "ValveTestApps" one application in particular was very interesting: ValveTestApp221380, codenamed "Kaos" which is part of the Microsoft Games Studio package / sub has the Hub icon of AoE2 The Conquers.
This app has been receiving regular updates each week, the most recent being one from this post date being: "about 3 hours ago (February 28, 2013 – 19:18:29 UTC)". Up until today however the application has only had two test achievements, since an update last night a big list of real achievements have been added ( grabbed from here ):SpoilerQuote"VICTORY_TOTAL_10",

That's several races from the game mentioned in that list, I think it's safe to assume these are relevant to AoE2.
One last thing, according to OpenSteamworks there have been ~10 people actively playing/testing this over the past few weeks, a graph which you can see here: http://games.opensteamworks.org/Chart/View/221380
One last part, this is a post from one of the main AoE2 developers last year expressing his interest in making a compatibility patch for Age Of Empires 2: http://aok.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/aokcgi/display.cgi?action=st&fn=3&tn=40110&st=594#post595
The PS4 allows people to resume games instantly upon turning on the system (no startup time) from where they were when they turned the system off.
All PS4 games (that aren't camera-based) should be playable remotely on Day 1 via Remote Play on the PS Vita.
The PS4 will allow users to play games after downloading only a small portion of the game's data.
Gamers can charge the DualShock 4 controller while PS4 is on standby.
Share button functionality allows for quick screenshots or video upload of gameplay as well as sharing live streams of gameplay with friends or over USTREAM.
Users will be able take remote control of friends games to help them through tough spots and such.
The system will launch with a headset that plugs directly into the controller for more prevalent voice communication across the PSN.
Cross-game chat is officially supported.
The PS4 will not block used games. Though publishers are free to do as they wish.
Game prices will range from $0.99-$59.99.
All PS4 games will be available as digital downloads.
The PS4 will support Move but not the DualShock 3.
A PlayStation app called 'PlayStation App' is coming to Android and iOS that allows the device to act as a second screen (a la SmartGlass) as well as purchase content and have it directly downloaded to your system. (Source) It stands to reason that this will also include messaging on the go and other stuff like that.
The PS4 will support 4K video output but not for games.
The PS4 is 3D capable but it is not a focus.
Certain apps can run in the background of games (such as the web browser) so you can access them without having to leave the game itself.

Please use this thread to it's full potential. I look forward to working with you all.
