I'm new here, so this may have been discussed previously - however, there's no harm in asking right?

A bran new ps3 (first console ever for me!) was made mine this Christmas, a wonderful occurence. I'm enjoying Oblivion, KZ2 and PixelJunk Monsters immensely...

However, where are the RTS at? Being an avid PC gamer previosuly, i've always enjoyed the rts genre.. from Total Annihilation, C&C to Warcraft and AOE - however i cna't seem to find any RTS on ps3 (apart from Red Alert 3??).

Does anyone know any other worthy RTS games on ps3?
Do you think developers will ever make RTS games for ps3 or is the lack of keyboard/mouse to hard to overcome??

thanks in advance...

There is a game with Motion Wand support coming called "Under Siege". And welcome to the website.

No. Most RTS's on console(With really the only exception of Halo Wars on 360) have been pretty bad. especially if you can get them on the PC

What would people class "Military Madness" on psn as?
Not trying to be smart just wondering.

I don't think it's the lack of keyboard/mouse since the PS3 supports keyboard/mouse.

Some games:
Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution
Tom Clancy's EndWar
R.U.S.E. (Upcoming game)

Seeing as how PS3 has full keyboard and mouse support (See Unreal Tournament III) I don't understand why we haven't seen much RTS on the PS3.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

Ahh, ok - so maybe games that aren't ports and are made with consoles as the main platform perform better? (ie halo wars). I'll go have a look at RUSE... Ta..

Command & Conquer 3 is also great !

EndWar is nice too

Red Alert 3 on PS3 is a joke, no keyboard/mouse support (unless they've added it?).

Either way, Red Alert 2 is better.



Currently playing: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, NBA2k11, Metal Gear Solid, Picross 3d

Just two corrections on some replies:
- Halo Wars is not the only good RTS game on consoles (Pikmin 1+2 and Swords & Soldiers are just 3 other examples).
- Civilization was never an RTS game on any platform and I bet my Sid Meier shrine it never will be.

RTS games on consoles are best if they are developed for the console. Two of the few exceptions to this rule (which I just invented) seem to be Tom Clancy's Endwar and the two Overlord games, which got decent ratings.

There are some good to great RTS games on PSN (I haven't played them, but ratings are good; I think they are all tower defense games except Mushroom Wars? Not sure):
