Supreme Commander Confirmed for Xbox 360 in 2008

Officially confirming previous statements by Chris Taylor of Gas Powered Games, publisher Aspyr Media has announced that PC real-time strategy title Supreme Commander is in the works for Xbox 360. Vancouver-based Hellbent Games, founded in 2006 by former Rockstar Vancouver/Barking Dog Studios designer Christopher Mair, will be handling the port.

Due in early 2008, the Xbox 360 port of the game will feature newly-created units, maps, multiplayer modes, and interface and HUD elements. Xbox Live-based online multiplayer will of course be supported.

Yes, the PC version supports up to 8 cores last time I checked.

I hate RTS on consoles. I tried to like them. I gave LotR and Command and Conquer 3 both a chance on the 360, but after playing them on the PC with a mouse it just makes me angry playing on the 360 with a gamepad.

I am not being snobbish, just that if you ever played the game with a mouse it is frustrating playing with a gamepad. If I had never played the genre with a mouse though I might have liked the experience.

Doesn't this game take advantage of Quad-core PCs?

4 - Excellent game

I would think this would only be playable for those with HDTVs as in SupCom it's necessary to see a lot of details. There are so many units and because of the zooming you typically view it from further afield than C&C3.

The PC version was largely overlooked by everyone but the hardcore gamers because of system requirements and learning curve. At first it seems slow paced and boring but it's one of the deepest multiplayer games available. I hope this gets the mainstream love it deserves.

C&C 3 on the 360 was not a bad experience, but a FAR CRY from being anywhere near the experience that you get from the PC version. Not to mention the constant updates you get on the PC.

The PC version, on patch 1.09 right now, is a MUCH better experience than it was even from when it first launched.

Has the 360 version had unit balance/added maps added recently? I don't know much about the 360 version.

It seems the PS3 is getting no or not much in the RTS section and the 360 gets them all

EDIT

to the one below. If you would have gotten your facts straight you would know better. The 360 has about 18% of all games that are FPS. THat means that 82% are other genres. As shown above, RTS is also on the 360 not so much on the PS3. You're missing out on gaming dude.

At one point in time the same was said for FPS shooters, that they belong on PCs and should stay there.

You can't blame MS for really pushing the FPS genre, similar to what goldeneye did on the N64 console. Halo did the same with online multiplayer on consoles.

MS is also pushing MMO's on consoles and RTS's.

Yes it's not the same experience but with the MS chatpad MMO's and RTS's will fare much better.

Sweet news but how on earth are we going to play it on 360? The game was already hard to control the units and manage them on PC with Mouse and stuff... the battlefields were seriously huge and things were too hectic.

I agree. Supreme Commander has so much going on and so many units and huge battles it will be very difficult to have a control scheme on the 360 that will be able to manage all of that.

You guys are talking like theres no possible way to make it work on consoles when we've seen two fantastic RTS games already done on the 360 even using the controll pad.

There's a reason console gamers are console gamers. We're little more laid back than PC gamers and don't neccessarily need frantic, ultra fast paced click fests - which is what a lot of RTS games seem to turn into instead of actual strategy; it sometimes boiled down to who can click the fastest when I used to PC game.

BFME II was fantastically molded on to the controll pad and felt very sweet and a great pace for console gamers.

Plus, with the K/M on the PS3, there really shouldn't be any serious complaints about gameplay.

Cannot believe this RTS is coming to consoles. I love this game to death on the pc, but you CANNOT PLAY THIS ON A CONSOLE!

The current RTSes for consoles out there are typically simple and less frantic, the controls do not require 10 commands within 10 seconds. This is not supreme commander... anyone who played it on pc will testify the frantic controls, that even with a keyboard, you'll find yourself stumbling around with all the massive number of commands you need to give...

If you think this game will work on a console, then you haven't played it before ;)

why the hell are u gonna ruin a good PC game....

REAL TIME STRATEGY games are NOT FOR CONSOLES... they are for PCs where they belong ...

some games are just MADE for the computer ... and these are MMORPGs, RTSs, and older RPGs like Diablo 2 and Diablo (Diablo did go to console and it SUCKED compared to the pc version) ... if they went on console it would be a horrible port most likely

10.1 - WHAT?

So you're trying to say a whole genre should never be done on a console? That's rather selfish and close minded. Like it hurts you that someone else plays a certain genre that you feel they should never? Wow.

Also, with the PS3 supporting K/M that arguement is jsut whinny BS cause the PS3 is actually better than the PCs that a majority of PC gamers own cause it's rendering capabilities equal high end PCs.

Not many PC gamers have those $4-5000 rig, ultra high end PCs and you know it.

OH this is great news. I was actually looking forward to this type of annoucement. This bods well for RTSs on consoles and betters the chances of having the genre supported by developers for the PS3.

I wonder what exactly are they gonna do to make it "console friendly"?

Smaller maps?
Fewer units on screen?
Slower game?

cuz hell even on the PC with mouse and keyboard things could get overwhelming specially if you are not a RTS veteran >.>

I also wonder if they optimized the game engine or simply reduced the visual quality cuz this game is not known as SupremeSystemHog for nothing >.<
