Creative Assembly building console RTS

I wish they would just concentrate on Total War.

Hmm... a Sega game without sonic. I smell a hit.

@GiftedOne What about command and conquer 3 (and kanes wrath), universe at war and battle for middle earth 2? Strategy games can still work on the 360 with effort from the developers. And if you look at reviews for those games, you'll see that the PC versions arent rated much higher than their console counterparts.

This game will be infinitely better on PC than on the consoles, all RTSs are.

GREAT XBOX360 everywhere;everyone tell wow about this GREAT; (WE ARE THE BEST AND WILL BE)

Anyone see the little crater at the end of the bright laser thing it looks too cartoonish in hat spot the rest looks good worth the wait

I hope that this is better than some of the game within that category that have just come out for consoles. I though C&C3 and BFME2 were pretty good, but Supreme Command was terrible and, IMO, Civilization was watered down. I'll keep my fingers crossed for this one.

I doubt that any RTS game will ever be better on a console rather than the PC. It simply is capable of handling hot keys.

meh at least the aus studio is making it.

I love RTS based games! Mechs are awesome!

uuu la la i miss fighitng with mechs. its an rts and that will have to do until the next mech warrior

Those mechs are so huge! They just strike that kind of fear into an infantry soldier, that's for sure! Probably too unnecessarily big, though, coz that compromises on efficiency, and cheaper resources required to build slightly smaller, but substantially shorter mechs. Just look at all the Mechwarrior-branded games, and all the other mech games that have appeared on PC last decade. Lord-Viru "...and the fact its made by Creative Assembly whose Total War series is absolutely brilliant is even better, hope they nail the control system." No, the Vikings game was created by the UK development studio, NOT that Australian (Brisbane) studio, which built the famous PC brand of the Total War games.

really hope i'll be able to run empire total war on my laptop, also hope they'll make another shogun or rome, that would be awesome!! oh and this sounds pretty cool 2

I disagree with Gamespot on Viking, I thought it was highly underrated, but anyway its always good to see an RTS making its way to consoles so I don't have to fork out hundreds of pounds on upgrading my computer, and the fact its made by Creative Assembly whose Total War series is absolutely brilliant is even better, hope they nail the control system.

"While Viking didn't win much glory with critics" Notably GameSpot of which while I can respect their opinion on some aspects, others are wrong if not contradictory to other reviews by them. Anyway, this should be great if CA utilize their famous massive battles mechanic!

"@PSdual_wielder: Probably because they are sick of making history games seeing as the age Empire: Total war is in the guns take 5 minutes to fire and reload. At least this is a new idea in a sea of history that most people don't pay attention to." lol, what?

Good, hopefully CA will stick to RTS now and not attempt any more action games, which they apparently just cannot manage to pull off. Plus it's not really CA anyway, it's a sub-studio. It's in Australia so I doubt this will affect their main Total War franchise, which is good.

about time Creative Assembly made a console rts game now i cart wait for this one.

wow,lots of interesting ideas. it could be a good game for the start for the stormrise series. I wish they keep total war's turn-base 'building units' and you are able to call them for reinforcements when you are outnumbered or units you build are set to reserves. i wonder what happened when i call reinforcements to travel underground and pop below the enemy's feet :lol:

Looks like another fun but incredibly time-consuming game...

@PSdual_wielder: Probably because they are sick of making history games seeing as the age Empire: Total war is in the guns take 5 minutes to fire and reload. At least this is a new idea in a sea of history that most people don't pay attention to.

Uh, they making Empire: Total War and judging by there history expansions to come.

Well, can we now say that Creative Assembly totally sucks? I love their Total War games but the crap they've been churning up lately is absolute ****. Medieval 2 was good but it was just a remake in the end. Last truly good thing they made was Rome: Total War. RIP to a great company.

this is pretty cool. sounds like it will be a good one.

Empire total war, yeah yeah!!!!! and ohh this game too.......

And hence the question, why are they doing this?

"Oh, as opposed to, say, PC gaming? Did you know that the mouse is the simplest input device of all? It's how they teach grade school kids on the computer. Only the true hardcore play RTS games on a gamepad." lol! Priceless.

looks ok and sounds ok but I think what would really make the headline... remake of Shogun - Total War !!

Another Post-Apocalyptic game? I'd like to say hooray, but eh, it's a console RTS. I'd much rather play Starcraft 2 and Dawn of War 2.

damm... i was hoping for rome: total war 2. or one in north america. or back to japan

Playstation 3 has been available for nearly 2 years and it still does not have any games in the Real-Time Strategy genre. That is pretty sad. "If" and I repeat "If" this game is released for the Playstation 3, it will be the first and only game in the Real-Time Strategy genre for the Playstation 3. The reason I say "If" is because every single Real-Time Strategy game that has been scheduled for release on the Playstation 3 has been cancelled. The most recent victim is Red Alert from EA. Originally it was going to be released for PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3. We now know that it will be released on PC and Xbox 360, but not Playstation 3. Xbox 360 really has had all the bases covered with a great lineup of games in every genre since its launch, even niche genres such as Real Time Strategy. Halo Wars is going to be the true "Killer App" that dominates the Real Time Strategy genre this year.

No to multiplat, if your making RTS for console, just make it for console, I don't care, see them as a separate entity, we don't want our games dumbed down for 14 year olds.

Yeah, come on CA, make some kind of historical based RTS game! And remake Shogun already!

Yeah kez1984, you see that?? console rts, so we have to make a postapocalyptic game, with space marines and mechs and all that stuff... halo wars 2 X-D Anyway its creative assembly, so lets wait and pray for a good game

I was kinda hoping this was going to be some type of TW game.
