GamesAreEvil writes, "The Real-Time Strategy genre has been having problems as of late. Let face it, resource and army management titles haven't been able to keep up with first person shooters. This has become more prevalent as increased graphic performance has decreased the number of seasick players and big budget titles keep fans excited and trigger happy.
Still, developers keep making attempts to re-energize the genre. Dawn of War took out resource management completely and focused on action, while Halo Wars attempted to take advantage of legions of fanboys. The latest crack at it comes from Gas Powered Games in their new game, Demigod...."
Stardock, one of the the longest running indie developers in the video game industry, has launched an intergalactic RTS Steam sale to end all RTS Steam sales.
That's a lot of RTS games... time I just don't have! Like I need my backlog to get any bigger!
Ya it's a pretty decent sale but The Taken King, MGSV, Fallout 4 soon... too many games.
Here’s how a StarCraft mod helped to shape the future of gaming.
I still haven't found a MOBA I can get into. Did LoL for awhile, but it was such a slow grind in terms of ranking up and getting money. DOTA 2 just scares me. Infinite Crisis was alright, but I lost interest in it pretty quickly.
Why does Dota 2 scare you? Just wondering because imo its a fairly accessible game especially if you get some friends together to play with you. Also if you are just scared of sucking dont be, just have fun and ignore those who flame because if they are flaming then they probably suck too and are just trying to blame you for any of their mistakes. So just download it AND HAVE FUN!
"From mod to sensation" to over-saturation.
i dont like how all these companys are now trying to make mobas, the markets already been taken by lol and dota.
they should come up with something new instead of just copying.
GamesBeat recently compared the most popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) titles such as League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth, and Dota 2 to each other, but many other games in the genre are also worth checking out. Inside you’ll find a selection of MOBAs from the past, present, and future and the unique elements they have to offer.
RTS games have been on my sh!t list as of late..
I'm looking way more forward to the Square-Enix-powered Supreme Commander 2. Wow, I hadn't even heard of DemiGod, may have to try the demo.
As the last RTS that had me stoked (Stormrise) kind of let me down.. I'm going to have to take a back seat and wait for more info on this one
been watching the development of this game, sounds promising and I'm even a fan of base building/resource management.
