    @EaGle1337:


    You try playing Warcraft 3 properly and then work out how you'd play it on a console then come back to me. The only way to play RTS is with mouse + keyboard.


    There's no such thing as micro with an xbox or ps3 controller.

    @EaGle1337: Then it wouldn't be a very good RTS.. There is no RTS without micro, and that is just the way it is...

    Oh noes! Now I'll have to buy a $50 graphics card to play the game, and not a $300 console!

    @MikeF**kingBison: So you're saying that although you already have a PC, you would buy this game and the console if it came out for that console instead of for the PC you already own? Didn't think that through did ya?

    Good, I'm tired of consoles ruining RTS games. They belong on PC and PC only.

    @Kenny: You have to give credit to those devs that have tried opening up the market to console gamers though. Halo Wars, for all of it's simplicity and brevity, still seems like a great console exclusive RTS.

    Maybe the console version was delayed? Who knows, who cares. The PC is the RTS platform anyway, and nothing's going to change that.

    @Archaotic: Seconded, and carried unanimously. Mouse (fast menu navigation) and keyboard (tons of hotkeys to map units to) are a fearsome combination for RTS play. Perhaps a specialised controller might make a console RTS work. Bundle it with the game like a guitar peripheral.

    @SansSanity: Possibly - but wouldn't it be a lot more fun to let the controller designers go wild and think outside of the box? How about a unit selection keypad that you'd wear on your wrist, coupled with Endwar-style voice commands?


    Rather than just design an RTS for keyboard and mouse, why not design a really good RTS controller system and then design your RTS game around that? Folks just love the peripherals, it's great for sales (see Wii Fit and Rock Band).

    Since they always have a good idea that gets kicked out of the cargo hold without a chute.


    Latest example is FarCry2

    We presume it will ultimately ship, just under its new name: Tom Clancy's World in Conflict: Soviet Assault. You know, for brand synergy and whatnot.


    Too damn true!
