This is such a tired genre. I'm just waiting for the Bratz RTS "Mall Wars!'

The RTS genre is tired? Wow, you have an odd perspective. They may release 5-6 RTS a year. How many FPS were released this year? How many action games? How many platformers? Here, I'll give you a challenge: name 5 RTS games released this year. For comparison, I'll name you a list of FPS from this year:

Halo 3
Darkness
Call of Duty 4
BioShock
Medal of Honor: Airborne
Medal of Honor: Heroes 2
Metroid Prime 3
Half Life 2: Episode 2
Portal
Team Fortress 2
Unreal Tournament 3
Crysis
Soldier of Fortune: Payback
BlackSite: Area 51
Timeshift
Quake Wars

And I'm SURE I'm missing several, but that should be a start.


I don't know how I could care less but I'm sure there's a way. BTW saying I think it's tired doesn't have anything to do with how many come out ever year; I just feel like its the same game I'm playing over and over again and it's been that way for me since Warcraft 2 and most FPS are the same for me as well. Just sick of the genre in genreal


Then I'm not sure your phrasing is particularly appropriate: you don't like the RTS genre (or, apparently, the FPS genre). Lots of us do, and there certainly has been a continuous evolution of tech trees and the focus on micromanagement. If it isn't for you, no problem, but save the "tired" talk for genres that are getting massively exploited, which RTS are not.
