http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/04/10/grey-goo-a-terrifying-concept-with-interesting-rts-armies http://www.greybox.com/greygoo/en/info/overview/ Check THIS out. This time I posted it in the right subforum (well...actually it's the wrong one but noone reads stuff in the unrelated discussions forum obviously...). This time I used the right title. This time I have some actual information. Don't you dare to ignore my thread and make your own one again . . . Well...it seems like RTS gaming is not THAT dead yet
Meh, information from ign is basicly worth nothing and there is not much on the actual side of the game. Something may come of it or it may not, no reason to get excited too much while we know basicly nothing about the actual game.
http://www.pcgamer.com/previews/grey-goo-preview/ We do know a lot more about it than about that other game And it doesn't run on Mac or Linux, carlo. They didn't rule it out but they want to make it Windows only at first.
saw this one a few weeks and tho seems to be quite good, again I wouldn't consider this next gen either, its basically C&C with diff skins and better graphics. I think you need to incorporate several things other then your cookie cutter box standard isometric RTS. Fighting across multiple planets, modular design of equipment, ships and buildings, stuff like that is next gen to me. Right now only PA does that. If we're talking about other games, it would have been nice to see a brand new Imperium Galactica II game, which was fought on a galactic scale, and that was made in the 90s, waaay ahead of its time. Its a shamed the Hungarian company canned it end of last year.
I wonder if this is just clever marketing, or if there's actually a reason for it. I can't say I've heard anything about Petroglyph before, and I can kinda see why.
well they don't have a good track record. They spent so much money on End Of Nations and changed the gameplay I dont know how many times, its hard to say if their a reppable company anymore. http://www.polygon.com/2014/3/3/5466746/report-end-of-nations-development-is-on-hold
EDIT: I appear to be sleepy and the topic title kinda got me thinking... Reopen and moved to unrelated, sorry for my confusion. stupidity below === https://forums.uberent.com/threads/next-gen-rts-gaming.58650/ https://forums.uberent.com/threads/etherium.58635/ While duplicates are not in general bad, making a duplicate on purpose in the wrong sub forums is bad. /close, please use the threads listed above
i wouldn´t focus too much on the term next-gen honestly ... next-gen in this case actualy doesn´t tell me what the devs behind this game intend to ship torward the consumer to be realy considered the next step in development to me that looks rather like a different approach/concept then a next step ... not an unintresting one though
For me, a strategy game doesn't need to be "next-gen," it just needs to have strategy. (A feature that many RTSs tend to lack.) Battle for Wesnoth and Close Combat aren't anywhere near "next-gen," but as far as I'm concerned, you would be hard-pressed to find a modern strategy game that comes close to them.
Just a fact, I believe these devs are the previous Westwood ones, right? If this is the same game they discussed on RenX forums, its good to hear their return to making this sort of stuff, possibly inspired by PA even, and I don't overplay the rts genre but would look this with interest.
What exactly is next gen about this? Asymmetry isn't new. Sword of the Stars wasn't a next gen 4X just because it had highly differentiated factions.
@Next Gen: I made this thread: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/etherium.58635/ It was mostly ignored and someone made this thread a day later in the wrong subforum which soon grew to 3 pages: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/next-gen-rts-gaming.58650/ So I wanted to find out whether posting in the wrong subforum and using a strange thread title attracts more interest than what I did. This is a scientific study ! (Clopse suggested that I learn how to name my threads "better" afterall...)
