Tempest Rising looks like it could hold promise, but their trailer didn't really show off much gameplay, besides 1.5 second snippets between CGI trailer footage, which kinda tells me they aren't as confident to show much of it fof yet (Older C&C trailers for example showed up to 5 seconds or more of actual gameplay footage, even Red Alert 3 managed to meld both live action and gameplay footage better than Tempest's trailer).
That being said, I'll prob buy it, but again, because the market isn't pushing as hard for RTS, I don't see this lighting the world on fire. I originally hoped AoE IV would set a fire under the genre, but it didn't do much of anything, and that's coming from Microsoft, a trillion dollar company, and if they can't light the fire to reignite the genre, then I don't see THQ managing it.
Personally speaking, I do wish there was more of a push for the genre as say, Turn based/metroidvania/Souls-likes/Rogue-likes are getting. Games like XCOM managed to set fof squad based tactics making a comeback, I really wish devs would be like "hey that's a cool RTS, I should make one like it!" (which is what every souls-like dev is literally doing every time one comes out).
