RTS never died. Total Annihilation is recognised as the greatest RTS ever made and will live forever.
>>736228748>Total Annihilation is recognised as the greatest RTS ever madeNot supported by sales so irrelevant.Some people claim a shit on a canvas is the best art but same as Total Annihilation there is no sales proof.
>>736228810The most I can say about Total Annihilation is that it had some cool total conversion mods, and that Supreme Commander was a spiritual successor that was a better follow up than what the actual devs came up with for it. Who looks at robots fighting a forever war, and then goes with a fantasy game as the sequel?
>>736228810People remade it as Beyond all Reason and are still playing it to this day. Rare to see a game last that long.
TA is great but supcom FA surpassed it. >>736228810>salesYour mom has had so many sales her pussy and asshole are blown out like an over pressurized oil well.
>>736229013Not really, most good RTS have followings that dont go away. Starcraft Brood War is still big, Homeworld & Cataclysm are regularly talked about as amazing campaigns, age of empires and command and conquer both are discussed and played regularly, newer games like Empire at War and Sins of a Solar Empire get hugely popular mods, warcraft 3 is still kinda around. Sure, usually things settle on 1 or 2 franchise entries, but RTS is an extremely long lived genre.

>>736229583Why are you talking to an empty room?
>>736228810If you remove the Korean audience then Starcraft looks absolutely pathetic compared to Total Annihilation. Koreans only play it as a job, not because they enjoy it.
>>736230423I want to know what the hell was about the original StarCraft got the gooks to look at it and go, "We're going to turn this into a national past time."
>>736228940Not the original dev team, was the problem there.
>>7362288101.5 million under very adverse conditions is pretty good, honestly.
What ever happened to Tempest Rising? I recall it getting some genuine momentum but interest fading due to its dev cycle taking too long.
>>736230481They were poorfags around that time and the game ran on shit-tier PCs easily. Computer gaming and strategy games are generally more prominent in historically poorer countries. Why BW, tho? Probably a random game that took off, just like Heroes 3 in Russia or Tzar in Spain.
>>736228748>Surely an autistic infighting inside our dead genre will help us!Total Autists true to their nature.
>>736231621Let's be clear, while too many games tried to replicate the SCBW formula and had a negative impact on the genre, it is a fantastic game. Great campaign, it had robust custom map tools, 3 entirely unique factions, unparalleled multi-player accessibility thanks to battle.net and is incredibly fun to play.It wasnt luck or chance that made the game popular.
>>736231261Was released.Sold.And that's it. Not flopping enough to laugh at it, not selling enough to scream "RTS BRO WE ARE SO BACK".
>>736228748Starcraft players doesn't play RTSThey want to play only starcraftSame goes to WoW shills, they don't play MMO's or games either they only play wow, and both are literally baby's first games, just as halo was baby's first FPS.
>>736230423>if you remove the largest demographic then the game has no playersWowie really
posted it again award
>>736232885just look to the korea time threads, it is always the same 5 jackoffs posting ever since ipcount was removedeven the Londinium thread that is up now is slow because the schizos are flooding the catalog again
>>736232885>the largest demographic are people that only play it as a job
>>736232885Koreans are not human.
>>736231754Considering what happened with SupCom 2 it's a legitimate position to hold. It's zero sum.
>>736228748The 2nd is better thoughWhat's even better is if anything in the game can damage anything, no garbage like "oo these guys guns cant pierce armor on the tank they just do 0 damage :(" I dont give a fuck. Archers should be able to take down stone walls if they shoot it long enough like in AoE 2. That's the only type of RTS that matters.
>>736235472Sounds like you'd like Total Annihilation more.
>>736228810>As if TA and SupCom FAF aren't better than SC and SC 2 and wouldn't have better sales and more players in a perfect world.
