Supreme Commander 2 Waiting For PCs Of The Distant Future

Supreme Commander creator Chris Taylor has big ideas for Supreme Commander 2. Ideas involving extra factions. Thing is, he can't execute on them. Not yet, anyways. Because modern PCs, with their SLis and quad cores and whatnot, just aren't capable of doing what he wants them to do:
... the only thing stopping me from doing it [adding new factions] on any sequel is memory. I've been told by my engineers that for Supreme Commander 2, I don't have enough memory in a PC with 4GB of RAM to have more factions.
I'd like to think he's joking, but after what they pulled on the first Supreme Commander, he may well not be. And if not, anyone wanting more SC factions (and I bet loads more stuff) will just have to wait for the future to become the present.

360 Supreme Commander Pushed Back

Patience, 360 fans, is a virtue, one any of you waiting for the console version of Supreme Commander would do well to polish up on. Aspyr, who are publishing the game, have announced that the title's slipped to sometime later this year, with only a "spring or early summer" timeframe hinted at.

Supreme Commander Shines On The 360

Well speak of the devil! X-Play's 2008 Best Strategy Game award-winner Supreme Commander is heading to the 360 early next year, perhaps gunning for the top spot among the 360's library of strategy titles, which mainly consists of PC RTS games it has already beaten. How were they beaten? Giant killer robots. 9 out of 10 dentists recommend giant killer robots along with regular brushing to help prevent tooth decay, according to the national bureau of stuff Fahey just made up. It's true!*

Week in Games: Silent Hill Origins Edition

The flood of amazing game titles seems to have ebbed a bit this week which my beleaguered bank account is most thankful for. Silent Hill: Origins will be my purchase this week as I try to plow through the last two week's worth of purchases. Anything on the list catch your eye?

Silent Hill: Origins (PSP)
Take a prequel visit to creepy Silent Hill and see how it got so creepy.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (X360, PC, PS3, DS)
World War II is finally over.

Empire Earth III (PC)
take your empire from humble beginnings to outer space.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (WII)
A dubious pairing. But who will win?

Gears of War (PC)
Marcus Fenix and his scarred legions arrive on the PC.

The Simpsons Game (PSP)
D'oh! Just a week behind.

Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War (X360, PS3)
Think Dynasty Warriors in medieval Europe.

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (WII, X360, PS3, DS)
Relive Star Wars through the blocky world of Legos.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (WII)
Charge of the Dawn Brigade.

F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate (PC)
I fear another expansion is in the works.

F.E.A.R. Files (X360)
Both F.E.A.R expansion packs in one fancy package

Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance (PC)
If the original wasn't enough for you.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker (DS)
Hunt for monsters and make them do your bidding.

Bee Movie Game (WII)
Ok, let's be honest. Does anyone really care?

Supreme Commander 2 Confirmed

Consoles to Get Gas Powered

The developers behind PC hits Dungeon Siege and more recently Supreme Commander have confirmed that along with more SC goodness, they are hard at work on an original title for a next-generation console. Once again, job postings act as a source of gaming news:
"Projects include PC titles within the Supreme Commander franchise, PC titles with original IP and something new - an original IP that is the company's first next-generation console project"

So will this new game be an RTS? An RPG? The company says the project will come as a surprise to fans of their previous work, so they're probably straying from those two genres. I'll go ahead and guess puzzle-based Japanese dating sim, because when details finally appear you'll have long forgotten this post anyway. More »

Frankenreview: Supreme Commander (PC)

To some, it's enough to be a commander. But to others, militaristic exultation is more difficult to grasp...some need to not just command, but command supremely. More »

Week in Games: Crackdown Edition

Some great games coming out this week and the PS3 gets some love with flOw and Virtua Fighter 5. Xbox 360 owners will be scrambling for a copy of Crackdown and a chance to get invited to the Halo 3 beta. For me, I'll be laying my cash down for Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja. What will you be getting? More »

The Games On The DICE Floor

Want to play the latest games? Games that won't be out for months? Don't come to DICE! Stay home.

The console that didn't get a presence at E3 2006 was represented by two playable kiosks featuring The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. More »

Supreme Commander E306 Trailer

God, this game makes me wish someone would just go out and invent already the cybernetic brain interface required for me to actually be able to beat an RTS game. The deformed fetal nubs that have replaced my arms after a life-time of subterranean basement sloth aren't really good for the rapid-fire pressings of a foreign language of hot keys. More »
