RTS games dont really belong on a console

If they had mouse support, I don't see why they can't go onto console.

Does this include the stuff from the expansion pack as well?

edit: forged alliance, that was it.

Some RTS games could make it onto a console. But not RTS games as vast and epically complex as Supreme Commander. I somehow don't see this selling well...

Have any of these RTS games sold well on the xbox? I only ever see them sold for 'bargain' price about a month after launch...

Darn. I was hoping for this, I can't be arsed to buy a new gaming rig.

and the 360 starts to make noises that suggests there's an angry badger trapped inside the disk tray

Genius.

I really wanted this game to be good be good on the 360. eurogamer has done a good job of putting me off, I may give it a bash then return it. Its a damn shame...it could have been epic!

It was too demanding on the PC and being a huge TA fan I was ultimately disappointed. Mr Taylor should have done a sequel that closely imitated/improved upon Assembly's Total War franchise. SupCom is just TA in 3D, an unoptimised and aggressive one at that.

would the fall update and the option to install to hard drive do anything for frame rates you reckon?
I'd be interested in a lot of dodgy games re-reviews if it made any performance differences.

@RazorObsession: Had the same thoughts about install to HDD too. Surely this is just the kind of heavy access game that would benefit the most from the full-install option.

Still, looking at the screenshots I'm guessing SDTV is probably going to suffer a la Dead Rising. Small text, murky units at min zoom etc. so I'm doubtful over this one.

I played it on PC at 10 fps....and loved it - this is probably a litle better than my PC experience so I'll still get it :)

RTS Games *do* work on a console, look at Kanes Wrath. But given the scope of SupCom, I think it may be a case of biting off more than it can chew.

Still, I'll grab this in the bargin bins.

Shame, the first page of the review was very promising. Hopefully they'll be able to improve some of the frame rate issues in a patch. I can't really imagine playing an RTS on this scale without a mouse though.

I think this game was a bit too much to port to console. It even ran like shit on my PC.

Installing to the hard drive won't reduce the massive amounts of AI computation and asset rendering that the game does, which is what makes it chug.

Might make your load times a bit quicker though.

" SupCom is just TA in 3D, an unoptimised and aggressive one at that. "

You think TA was optimised? lol. :) SupCom is future-proof and it really does scale well on high-end PC's, for lower specs you'd need to limit yourselves to smaller maps and lower unit caps like this Xbox360 version does. Anyway, hopefully the lack of success of the console version won't have an impact on the future on the PC franchise even though several members of the original SupCom crew has already left GPG to do their own thing. I think the seperate release US/EU won't help this version either.

Well I guess I'll see if they patch it into a decent shape before I buy then.

Big shame though, was really looking forward to this.

[And the press site was even less pleasantly free from an appropriate screenshot. - Ed]

Isn't it about time you guys took your own screenshots? What is this? 1995?

Considering the bad reviews the game got when it was released in the US for the 360, I was suprised to see a 6/10. I was expecting 2-4/10 because of several reviews of other games in the last few weeks.

this just didnt work for me even on the pc, and thats with a two monitor set up!

yea, i felt bad ass, but after a while, it just felt, well, hollow for some reason

yea, there were tonnes and tonnes of units but they had no personailty

good for casual dips in of and out of every few months

The logic for not releasing Soul Calibur et all on the PC seems so clear and yeat there is an endless trickle of RTS ports for consoles...

Did anyone seriously think it would work? It's a high end PC game. The 360 was never going to cope with it's complexity and scale.

"Fitting Supreme Commander onto the 360 is a bit like squeezing a horse into a chest of drawers - even if you can, that doesn't mean you should."

Funniest thing I've read today!

I was quite looking forward to this, but now I wonder if it's RROD bait.

"Standard Eurogamer PC bias"

PC biased today are they? Yesterday they were 360 biased. On Monday I read they were PS3 biased.

Make up your mind people.

I thought the PC game was average, if you look at the individual models they arent as detailed as many other RTS games, the enviroments where pretty bland also I imagine alot of the problems where to do with porting an already unoptimised engine. I predict like most of GPG games Demigod is another " average " title.
