If RTS games are SOOO bad on 360 then explain this to me?

I personaly didn't say it was "so bad". But you cant deny that with a KB/M you can play an RTS much more effeciently w/ hot keys and stuff. Not to mention that WIC is shipping with an SDK and map editor, so we will have a huge variety in mods and maps.

Basically what i'm saying is PC is dominant for RTS games and 360 version is nowhere close to it.

Yeah, well catlin has never played a PC RTS so he wouldn't know and he is just trying to defend his system.

LOTR:BFME2 PC - 8.3

LOTR:BFME2 X360 - 8.3

Command & Conquer 3 PC - 9.0

Command & Conquer 3 X360 - 8.7

I think RTS can work on the 360 (and can be good), but are better on the PC because they are meant to be played with a keyboard and mouse.

Anyone who has ever played RTS games in there life knows it controls better on PC than on consoles even though they are still doing a decent job of porting them over.

Just look at Pros playing Starcraft and try to explain to me how it would be possible on consoles. RTS are still really good on consoles nowadays but you have to be pretty fanboish to ignore the fact that a M&Kb is just way better for RTS just like controllers are way better for fighting games.

Haha, I like their summaries for the game:

9.5 Presentation
Hmm, we're trying to think of one area in which the game's presentation isn't faultless. Ok, so maybe the watercolour slides won't be to everybody's liking.

9.5 Graphics
This game is bound to sell at least a million high end video cards. Eye-watering. Gorgeous. Even better, it scales well!

9.0 Sound
Great moody music with awesome sound effects. The unit chatter when you zoom right in is a great touch.

9.0 Gameplay
Revolutionary RTS action - fast, immersive yet still deep, provided you crank the difficulty up.

9.5 Lasting Appeal
Ten hours for the singleplayer campaign, and years of online action ahead.IGN

Sounds good. The demo is great. I'm glad to see the full version apparently doesn't let up on the greatness.

Ok.... instal C&C3 and then compare the PC to the 360 version. The PC version handles much much better. It's not that its "bad" on the 360, its just nowhere near as good.

Then how would it work on a console? That game needs serious micro maneging

and on topic, I don't see why they say revolutionize RTS, its gameplay is similar to Ground Control 2 right? Correct me if I'm wrong

It is...but I think they were refering to the online portion of the game there.

It will always be best on 360 no matter how much hermits pay for their video card, extra RAM, etc. 360 has achievements.

JiveT

Stop it with the joke posts!

part of the awesomeness of this game is also the Observation Mode in Multiplayer. The game picks cinematic camera angles at the points of interest to create an amazing viewing experience. It is literally fun to watch this game.

Oh and these.....

Company of Heroes would be tough to make for consoles, not only because of the micromanagement, but also because it's also a true graphical beast. Would probably need a downgrade in that area. But console gamers are getting a Warhammer RTS, which should end up being quite good.

basiclly they are getting the bad one.

I'm keeping an eye on that one myself too. Warhammer: Battle March, I need more money for games :( .

An updated version of Mark of Chaos.

It's a remake of Mark of Chaos.

Here's more info.

Never played the original Mark of Chaos. Haven't heard great things about it, but I've also never played a poor Warhammer RTS, and I've played all the recent ones.

[QUOTE="horrowhip"][QUOTE="cobrax75"][QUOTE="catlin_czirr"][QUOTE="horrowhip"][QUOTE="JiveT"]

best on 360

catlin_czirr

what? how about no. Dx10 + better controls = best on PC.

lol...an 8800GTS will max out this game....and its $250.

Yeah.... but consolites forget the PC hardware prices go down rather quickly. Infact, in November with the release of the 9000 series, the 8800 GTS will cost around $150 and the GTX will cost$200.

whether it costs more or not, its still better. stop trying to bring price into this

Oh damn it's not even the same series. Nevermind then. ;P

I had that happen to me once, in the beta I was getting ready to counterattact and retake one CP with my team mates, when I noticed I couldn't see my units any more because of smoke, I zoomed out to see the best looking mushroom cloud I seen in a game. Only problem was my units were not turned to dust and lost the match. But it was one of the best way to go (out with a bang)

One thing I love about the game is the trailers. I love the Magnum PI and the GC 2007 one (with a battle in New York).

DX10 is noticably better....mostly cause of the light beams.

Here is another nuke Picture from May 9, 2006

The smoke looks better and the lighting but thats about the only difference.

Oh, it is a 9.3 not a 9.4 still a surprise though.smokeydabear076

I remember them saying it back when the N64 came out. PC gaming will not die.

So according to IGN

MP3>WIC?

Nova_Mongoose

man that statement was just pointless... MP3 got a 9.7

That means that 99% of games are gonna score less than it. 9.3 is still great and MP3 is a great game.

I will be buying that game the day it comes out. I should preorder it now...Wasdie

you should...the preorder version has a piece of the berlin wall in the box.

This game is not exclusive to hermits. The superior 360 version should be here before the first snowfall. Achievements and all.
