It seems like almost every month there is some overhyped rebooting of a monolithic gaming franchise which is either getting fans very excited or supremely irritated. Command and Conquer 4 is set to be the last over the top Sci-Fi RTS to have the egomaniacal dome-headed Kane at the heart of its narrative, and although it is joining a long line of well received games that have gone before it, it just seems like something of an anticlimax. That is not to say that it isn’t fun. It just isnt’ fun enough.
VGChatz's Taneli Palola: "There's no question that during these years the overall popularity of the genre took a significant hit, as most games within it specialized even further by adding new elements from other types of games into their gameplay loops and consequently became increasingly niche as the years wore on.
However, this doesn't in any way mean that the period was devoid of great games. Quite the contrary, in fact. Arguably some of the greatest RTS titles ever made came out around this time, and much of this was because many developers were increasingly familiar and comfortable with adding new twists and gameplay elements to the familiar formula. As such, even when the genre's popularity dwindled, many studios were still creating excellent and groundbreaking titles almost every year, just for a smaller audience than in years past."
