Oddbean new post about login | logout @Chris Trottier Even XBox was awkward - I'm reminded of the Halo Wars RTS game I played briefly on the 360, and...it still showed why RTS games aren't common on consoles.
@6c4168c2 There was an Army Men RTS released for GameCube. It was okay, but nowhere near as good as something like Command & Conquer.
@Chris Trottier Right; but I think notably, none of these games garnered a whole lot of clones or likes or sequels, or even spiritual sequels. Nobody is making Halo Wars/Army Men: RTS-likes like people made Doom-likes on PC, nor are the developers pulling a 007 Goldeneye -> Perfect Dark trajectory. Even ignoring the following of Medal of Honor/Call Of Duty/etc. on later consoles.
@6c4168c2 There’s no way to have a good RTS experience on console unless you have a controller with a trackpad. But I don’t know, I feel like RTS games are no longer as big as they used to be. Not that there aren’t good games, but I remember when they were as big as MMORPG and FPS games. By the way, have you ever played Ashes of the Singularity? That one is pretty good.
