After FPS games, RTS games is another genre that moves exclusively to console space with new titles.

you just now started noticing?

Blizzard is our only hope

yup. just sucks when misguided PC evangelists blame blizzard (WoW) for PC's downfall--truth is that blizzard is one of PC's last pillars (Steam being another).

Are RTS games really this popular on consoles now

(speaking of sales, not development)

Their Viking game for consoles sucked.

WrikaWrek · « **Reply #5 on:** July 10, 2008, 02:20:03 PM »

Yeah what's up with that, making a console exclusive RTS? What the fuck.

The genre doesn't even sell well on consoles.

RTS on console NEVER stands up to PC RTS.

Alien Vs PRedator Extinction on PS2 and C&C3 on X360 taught me that.

Console gamers get this terrible shit.

PC gamers get the next Total War game.

What's the problem?

I love it when people say Steam is saving the PC scene.
It's like saying Asda is saving the fucking Wii.

I don't know what Asda is.

But I know Steam is providing a game distribution system that is largely superior and preferable to the brick and mortar retail model that IS kind of abandoning PC gaming. And that Steam as a platform IS very good for PC gaming and probably doing a LOT to keep it viable and profitable for all types of content providers.

JustinP · « **Reply #14 on:** July 10, 2008, 03:33:41 PM »

also worth noting that Steam offers PC developers a distribution model that is much more resistant to piracy.

Tieno · « **Reply #15 on:** July 10, 2008, 03:35:36 PM »

Sorry Borys, but I don't like the look of that but it sounds like the control system (in the frontline) is like that Tom Clancy RTS.

I'm still just sticking to Halo Wars myself

disgruntled_jojo · « **Reply #16 on:** July 10, 2008, 04:03:53 PM »

I'll stick to my SC2, DoW2, etc on PCs, but thanks

Grecco · « **Reply #17 on:** July 10, 2008, 04:10:13 PM »

I havent played CandC on Xbox but i thought LOTR was confusing shit, and the new Ubisoft game sucks ass.

RTS for the most part dont work well on consoles. I think MMORPGERs could work.

I'd definitely game more on PC if more non-eroge Japanese developers apart from Falcom (whose games don't even get picked up for release over here, either). PC elitists annoy me but I can see why they have a bitter resentment against consoles, since a lot of formerly PC only games/genres are getting a console push and watered down in the process.

Although the only RTS I actually enjoy was a console only release.

Herzog Zwei of course!

What's with this bogus claim that this is the first 'true' 3D RTS? They are ignoring like 8 years of games!

Yuck, Creative Assembly, the guys behind VIKING

I wrote this developer off after that one game

they might be referring to the flat planes units move on in other RTS. like ground units are all on the ground and air units are always a set distance from ground. maybe you can modify your units altitude or something.

though homeworld lets you battle in a completely 3D space already, so it still wouldn't be the first.

This. This game looks awful compared to what we're getting in Empire:TW.

RTS isn't going anywhere. Console RTS games will require a complete re-imagining to be really successful, and no one really seems up to doing that. And no, I don't think Ensemble is going to "get" console RTS with Halo Wars, despite how Bruce Shelley is going on about the game on his blog and on 1up.

Fuck y'all. Not about some console RTS BS but about Viking. I loved that game, or at least I liked it a lot more than I expected to. Sure it got to be repetitve as all hell (especially by the time you get to the third island) but some of the big set piece battles were amazing, imo.

console gamers love dumbed down FPS games with relatively poor controls. they'll have no problem gobbling up console RTS.

realtively poor fps controls and console rts controls are miles apart.

not really. and the "level playing field" is more important to them anyway. it's not like most of these console gamers have significant experience with PC RTS anyway.

halo wars will pop a lot of RTS cherries. and just like halo, it'll create a wave of console-tards who think they know the genre. in 5 years, if PC gaming continues on this trend, i dont' think you'll be able to truthfully say 'RTS are a PC genre' anymore.

and yea, MMORPG's are probably next to make the transfer. something big has to happen to the PC gaming industry for this trend to change. i don't think blizzard can do it alone.
