Microsoft releases four new images of Halo Wars. It looks great, and from what we've already seen of the game back at last E3, it seems like the game is on track to honour its prestigious license. We didn't expect any less from Ensemble Studios, to be honest.
Loakum Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (> 3 Months ago)

I completely fail to see how you can equate less accurate controls to less fun. If I enjoy playing the game, that's all that matters.
Same goes for FPS games. I'll pick consoles any day, due to the dual analogue support. Moving and looking around using them feels far more fluid and natural than it does using a keyboard, and while it may not be as accurate, it's still a lot of fun to play.
I don't mind if you want to express your opinion on this matter, but ou seem to be constantly going into massive rants about how you're right about everything in this matter. It's nothing but opinion.
Commented on 2008-01-04 14:23:31I disagree with the comment about FPS feeling more "natural" with dual analog--pointing and shooting is more natural with a pointing device like a mouse--and again people underrate the keyboards goodness.. but really it all comes down to personal preference and if that's what you want, more power to ya. I'll take the majority of my shooters and RTS on PC, but if something unique comes along to the Xbox 360 that I must play (like Halo 3) I have no problem adjusting to the format change.
There's no reason (that I see) that multiple platforms can't have their own exclusives, even in areas where they might not be the strongest.
Commented on 2008-01-04 15:18:19Hmm but this thread is about Halo Wars so I might say something about that too! I am quite sure that this plays well enough at 360. This isn't port as what C&C was so they can make the game a bit slow paced. That helps a lot I think.
Commented on 2008-01-04 15:30:51In FPS games it does make a difference aswell, but not as big.. The only real difference there between consoles or PC is the speed and precision in aiming.. But RTS gameplay goes a lot 'deeper' then just speed or precision.. I guess you can only understand if you've played any serious RTS on the PC..
And if wanting the best out of a game(genre) is considered elitism, so be it..
Commented on 2008-01-04 16:33:48I am very interested in seeing how the civ game turns out. I think the strategy/wargame category could do really well on this generation of consoles.

Commented on 2008-01-04 19:05:16Still, I doubt this will be enough. Someone needs to have the balls to reinvent the RTS genre for consoles. Until then, I'd much rather be playing a PC version...

Commented on 2008-01-04 22:21:00As for the controls, I suggest we all adopt a wait-and-see approach. Just because most console versions of RTS games have been poor does not suggest that you cannot design an RTS game specifically for a console. For instance, the excellent Full Spectrum Warrior by Pandemic was pretty much an RTS game, and that worked really well on Xbox.

Commented on 2008-01-05 11:21:18C&C3 had similar problems with such massive battles. But it was still a cool game.

Commented on 2008-01-06 04:03:20From the pics, the game looks good.
Commented on 2008-01-06 04:55:53 In reply to dargis49I don't think that's a real screenshot, anyway. Not to imply that the game won't look crazy, but looks shopped.
Nice avatar dargis. I miss my city.
Commented on 2008-01-06 07:37:13"The last pic looks like the framerate is near 10fps or so "
HA HA. My thoughts exactly. If they can get that many guys on screen at 30 frames, I'd be more than shocked to say the least.

Commented on 2008-01-07 09:42:31Please, Understand, I am NOT bashing! it just strikes me as completely unfair to other games in the genre.

Not to mention, 2008 is the year of Starcraft 2, which stands to be the best selling PC game of 2008.

Why you see a bunch of hype about this game, alimokrane, is not because it's a Halo title, but instead because this is a console RTS from the makers of Age of Empires. If anyone can make a console RTS worth my $60.00 it'll be them. I would put that task on nobody else (except maybe the original Westwood studios).
