End State, Phantom Brigade, Phoenix Point, Xenonauts 2, Terran Shield... The future is promising.

Shut up boomer

Control barrier. There's technically no obstacle for having turn-based games on consoles other than publishers being up their own assholes. Hell, SRPGs were always strong on consoles.
Ethan Garcia
More like global average IQ is dropping, and the few RTS players remaining feel the old age forcing them to play turn-based.
Austin Howard
LUCT is horrible tho.
Jace Torres
problem is you could probably count on one hand how many fantasy 4x games are out there, and 80% of them are just average or not worth playing. that's stiff competition to take down one of the greats. sf 4x, not to mention civilization carrying the torch for the genre, seems to be way more common.

>you need high IQ to play rts
Adam Turner
I really liked Gladius by lucasarts.
Gavin Hall
spellforce 3 came out two years ago and no one gave a shit
the campaign was pretty nice while it was mediocre rts
Jacob Murphy
As long as it's not compstomp and 1vs1?
Very yes.
Justin Russell

It's not IQ as much as it has way more moving parts. They're on complete opposite sides of the spectrum, literally and proverbially, but I guess fighting games would be a somewhat apt comparison. Neither genre is something you pick up and can really intuit or have the game play itself.
Michael Ward
>1vs1
But that's the only reason for playing rts competitively

I don't know what even is the focus of Spellforce.
I remember how in 1 army was there just to up your DPS while your hero tanked everything.
Most of the time you built base for fun because hero could just waltz to enemy and cut it down himself.

Nuxcom will be mediocre until they deal with fucking pod mechanics and hire designers with better ideas than "lol enemy has multiple actions during your turn I am so good at my job".
Tactical legacy music is great though.
Brandon Hall
I wanna play XCOM 2 but one of the previous updates completely and utterly fucked my game and now I cannot get it to launch ever.
Nathan Gray
>multiple actions during your turn
There are plenty of skills that allow to do the same thing for you
Nicholas Murphy
>tbs better than ever
That is true, OpenXcom is still alive and kicking getting updated regularly and the modding comunity for it is amazing
and it has an actual AI too unlike this poop firaxis made and called a game
Robert Collins
I have high hopes in Phoenix Point in fixing this stupid shit, but recent news make me question their long term planning.
Xavier Green
>fucked
Explain pls
Joseph Murphy
Around when they added the new content. If you had mods installed it would fuck up launching the game.
Oliver Morris
Did anyone play xenonauts?
theres sequel coming sometime next year
Easton Rodriguez
Are you following this trainwreck?
Brody Reed
PeePee commited suicide for a quick cash-in.
No one will hype it up for success and sequel on tencent store, and by the time it hits steam it'll be a bargain bin reject.
Jeremiah Stewart
RTS isn't dead. There's hundreds of us playing SupCom daily.
Come over to Forged Alliance Forever, faggots.
Ayden Taylor
Remember when people hoped it would FFT2?
Jackson Morgan
Sadly
It will be impossible to have decent mechanics discussion on Yea Forums because of Tiananmen square posting.
I hope he Golomp will feel fire under his ass and polish the game squeeky clean.
Alexander Flores
>RTS are dead
>What is Stellaris (closer to a grand strategy, but still RTS) or Total War (has TBS elements, but the battles are RTS).
The genre just evolved.
Nathan Turner
Did anyone rip off the Legacy Pack soundtrack? I wouldn't mind torrenting it.
Hunter Lewis
Need more info on this pic

My SupCom bro!

This is the slavic version of "X in Spongebob" meme with Russian sitcom Gorodok
Grayson Baker
Thanks :)
Jack Lopez
nucom is medicore until long war and modders fix the game for them

best track
the loadout and victory music is too aggressive it gets tiring listening to it during the extended load times thanks to all the mod bloat
Andrew Nelson
I wish tbs evolve past the classic system : move-shoot-overwatch-throw grenade- switch weapon
Why not more fun & crazy mechanics for your units.
Maybe some ability like teleportation, summoning,jetpack, earthquake, airstrikes....?

Too many RTS fans were hooked on Blizzard shit and thought that was the only way you could make an RTS. Then other RTS devs failed to polish their games and never grew. Blizzard never really innovates, they collect existing ideas and polish them. So with all the other RTS devs dying out due to a combination of their own incompetence and the fanbase refusing to leave Blizzard, the genre stagnated.
The most innovation in the RTS genre happened in Warcraft III's map maker.
