Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "I often try to contain my emotions when discussing something that I’m passionate about and will offer up some points and counterpoints that are fair and well-reasoned. Well not this time. I absolutely despise it when a perfectly serviceable RTS (real-time strategy) game makes its way over to the console gaming scene because it never, ever works. It’s a gameplay style that is basically the antithesis of console gaming, from both a stylistic approach and a technical level. So this is my plea – stop making console RTS games!"
Did Bungie actually hate Halo Wars? Why wasn't Master Chief in the game? Lead designer Dave Pottinger reveals all.
The RTS genre has had a rough ride on consoles through the years, but which are the 7 best games available today?
Halo Wars is still widely considered one of the best and most accessible RTS games around, and that formula could work with other Microsoft IPs.
I think Crackdown would fit in a more turn-based tactics system via Xcom then a RTS type game play. Being able to customize multiple agents, deploying that group in an crime infested urban zone, going against other super powered enemy and fodder type thugs. The potential for that is huge if they won't do another successful, ground breaking, GOTY open world outing like Crackdown 3....
Why? I'm a huge fan of RTS and that's since games like Warcraft and Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat on PS1.
Tropico 5 actually played great on PS4, which I wasn't expecting. There's room for all genres if done right on any system.
I will admit, keyboard and mouse is much better, but why limit gamers that choose to play on console and might find some new found enjoyment in a different genre?
Xcom says hi
I prefer them on console
Who are you to demand limits on what console users get to play?
oh boy. another skilless dude who needs mouse and keyboard to be any good at a game? how pathetic. i thought by 2018 everyone knew already that it‘s the brain that makes a person, not the tools. personally, i am completely fine with rts games on console. judging by my trophy list i‘m better than most. so please stop the whining and stop posting BS blog posts.
