Forums - Microsoft - Halo Wars ABSOLUTE WoW! New screens

This one won't come out for the PC, that is what Microsoft said.

 

If it comes out, it will be like 12 months later. Have fun with it 2010! That is too much time for me, just can't wait.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Judging a game by graphics is stupid, but for an RTS it's beyond stupid, and this general stupidity leads to game producers focusing on graphics instead of gameplay. Anyway, even with HD consoles the resolution is going to be a serious handicap compared to 1920x1200 PC goodness. And if they expect you to control this with a gamepad it'll most likely be a very limited game.

 

Do not hold your breath on this game. 70 to 75% average reviews tops. Great visuals will not be enough to make up for inadequate controls. Hopefully a good mouse and keyboard system is out.

Oh dear. You 2 are big fanboys arent you. Yes graphics arent the most important thing. But before you start spouting metacritic and slagging the gameplay. Lets see what Ensemble studios track record is with RTS yeah?

Age of Empires 1 : 83

Age of Empires 2 : 92

Age of Empires 3 : 81

And you know how highly Age of Empires is thought of in the PC RTS genre.

 

 



2nd Pic looks horrible compared to the 3rd Pic

Whats up with that? The parts that look good look awesome, but the parts that look bad look terrible. I'm gonna wait to see this one in motion before I make up my mind but it looks like certain aspects have been given a lot more detail than others.

Sqrl - thats what I thought. 1st pic in the snow is insane, others are meh.

I have faith in Ensemble, and I think they can pull it off given the budget, and the fact that one would think that they'd have the ability to get as much juice out of the 360 as possible.

And for the record, C&C 3 and LOTR: BFME2 were awesome on a gamepad. Stop whining about RTSes only belonging on PCs. Times are changing, and the 360 is getting more RTSes this year than any other console in gaming history combined (just about!)



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

<3!!!... Sweet! This and Too Human is total awesomeness on X360 this year!

Glad its not just me =P

But yeah I think it will work out fine, it would be pretty silly for them not to maintain the quality of one of the biggest brands in gaming.  I'm pretty confident it will come together, and honestly it may just be the screenshots, sometimes a screenshot just doesn't do a game justice.

^^Yeah they are, AoE series is my favorite by far. Long live the Teutonic Knights and their gun toting amigos.

 

No dude, Cataphracts rule big time! 

 

Cataphracts were big, but with the English longbow I was better...



By me:

Made with Blender + LuxRender

No way, they're advantage is that they're good vs infantry. Throw some Mameluke units in and they'll drop like flies.

God I loved the 'blood' games of AOE2.

I'm not going to be very interested in this game until it comes out on PC though..... Even then, I'd fear Windows Live.



Just support keyboard/mouse like UT3 PS3 does.



This game looks amazing. I love RTS and I love consoles. Lets hope these guys get it right!

Could make me get a 360....



Yes
