Why did the RTS genre die
not compatible with consoles
>>739176645When did RTS genre died?
>>739176645It didn't, it was just mostly perfected and has incredible replayability
>>739176645YOU MIGHT BE STUPID
>>739176678What if the devs figuring out potential idea?
>>739176645>posts a game that got remaked and still gets brand new expansion packs constatly
>>739176645Esports and the fact that the skillset to play RTS decently basically doesn't exist in the broader populace. A player can do excellently in micro while being shit at macro or the other way around but shit the bed when asked to do both at the same time, and noone likes that.
>>739176645AOM my beloved
Esports idiocy and the consequent "no fun allowed, everything must be PERFECTLY balanced" approach to design. Said E-sport then being decided in the first 30 seconds of the match depending on one side being un/able to scout the other or one side blind-countering the other's build. Or by someone misclicking once and not doing the mandatory build order perfectly.Fun RTS is broken units being balanced by the existence of other broken units, everything feeling powerful, and RTS developers strived to achieve the opposite of this, every unit feeling weak as shit on its own, while powerful, tide-turning abilities were taken away from them and relegated isntead to one click "support" powers ie: cancer mini-superweapon spam that is disproportionately hard or even impossible to counter.
>>739176645AoM is the only RTS I ever played and I remember it fondly. I bought the remake and loved that too.
>>739176645for the same reason arena shooters did
>>739176645It tried to do too much and it ended up splintering into other genres that did specific things better.Macro players went to 4x/grandstrat/Dominions/whateverMicro players went to MOBAs and similar genresRealismfags went to RTT or games like Graviteam and Combat MissionEsportsfags just stuck to SC1 or went to the aforementioned MOBAs and suchThey split up into a lot of genres and there were never that many RTS players to begin with. Robolox probably has more unique hourly users than there ever were RTS players.
>>739176645They tried to casualize it which killed it for good, they're still trying to casualize it
Players killed it.
Stronghold is kino, wish I didn't miss out on it when it first came out.
they forgot to buff handcannoneers (along with many other factors.)
Autistic trannies preferred to play Defense of the Autogynophiliacs (DOTA)

>>739176645DoW 4 is releasing this year and bringing the genre back from the dead.
>>739176645designing the entire game around sweaty 1v1 multiplayer. seriously 0.1% of players give a single fuck about any of that.People care about the art, cool factions, epic in-game moments with big battles, building a cool city. No one gives a single sweet fuck about tournament results or any of that.
>>739179695Stronghold is one of the most kino games of all time.>>739179108I miss playing 2d RTS campaigns. Wish we could get another Warcraft 2 like.
>>739176645>"This RTS is so fucking shit">"Its clunky, glitchy, outdated and unbalanced as fuck">"And I've already beaten it so many times">Keeps playing it every year anywayWhat game is it for you? For me its C&C Generals
>>739179108>want to micro? Hope you have 4 good teammates! No thanks
>>739176645They tried to ape Starcraft and its esport scene too much.
>>739184702Haegemonia. Quite old these days, but that game is what made me fall in love with space, and explosions.
Not enough 18th-19th century games.
>>739176645AoM retold just had an Aztec DLC. What do you mean RTS is dead?
>>739186513https://youtu.be/JuRhL6rafNo
>>739176645High IQ floor
>>739176645because of console shitters. that being said, i'm looking forward to dorf.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSziQqeRc1o
>>739186513not paying twice for the same game, especially not one full of AIslop
>>739189572Real Age of Empire 4...
>>739189572also does the games support Super Switch (NS2) gyro-like mouse controllers?
RTS is alive and well. its just too complicated for retarded zoomers and ticktok brained dummies gen alpha
>rts japan :o
I tried replaying Supreme Commander 2, and damn it really is not a good game.
>>739176645public companies demand constant growth, and rts games have a low ceiling due to complexity and ui
>>739180569I remenber back in the day trying DOTA for the first time and dying once and the whole team left. They also banned people for downloading the game because if you were downloading it you must be new.
>>739195164New players bring the entire game down.
RTS players tend to stick to one game and play that forever with no interest in other games which makes the addressable market tiny.
>>739186428>your hotkey groups get given namesKino shit. Why has no other game ever done that?
>>739179695>>739184536what are the chances Firaxis will finally stop trying to move to 3D and go back to 2D sprites?
