Why did they stop making RTS games?
Microsoft is still updating Age of Empires 2 and 4
Blizzard is a fucking shell of a company who hasn't made a good game in a decade+
The other studios are dead or irrelevant and deving an RTS is too complex for indies
high Skill floor
20-45 minutes is too long a time to be playing at 100% effort
too much micro
pick 1
WC3 and SC2 sold millions of copies.
why spend a few million making an extra few million on an RTS when you can spend even less money and make more and easier money from an MMO?
Isn't that the case for every multiplayer game played at a competitive level?
you don't get time to recuperate in RTSs like waiting for respawns/teamwipes/laning in fps/mobas.
Tempest rising just released this week and it is good.
Microsoft is still updating Age of Empires 2 and 4
We got robbed
Meanwhile Ensemble (currently called robot entertainment) is making shit games back to back.
How the fuck do I play undead in multiplayer and not die? Orcs and night elves (fuck NE in particular) have so many tools to harass undead and I can't do anything about it.
ramming tanks into balls
Why though?
He thought it would roll them away.
They need to make high effort games every once in a while to kindle interest in potential new players to the franchise.
most competitive games have somw form of passi e dead air where you're moving around or doing non-combat objectives
an rts demanda that you micro units 100% of the time. look at footage from decent players and tell me it's not spastic and exhausting
rushing with creeps usually works pretty well and makes for a very short game. not so effective on huge maps though.
The two best rts games got great remasters, why aren't you playing them?
why is having no downtime considered a bad thing now? That's what makes RTS's fun in the first place. Having to be top of your game to not throw.
we already have a warcraft 3 thread
qrd?
Not going to a NEgger thread.
Discount command and conquer which is decent for its price
they ain't thinking that far ahead
It's not bad per se, but it causes people to burn out faster while playing meaning their brain runs out of dopamine and they turn the game off
TibSun got remaster? What?
Why are you a contrarian? Tibsun was considered bad at its release.
Some faggot pointed out that the sparklepony in WoW made more money that SC2 as a whole. Why would they bother?
deving an RTS is too complex for indies
only if they are bad at deving
If that's the case why does blizzard make new games at all? They could just squat forever with WoW.
They haven't made a new game since StarCraft 2, just MTX marketplaces
Because Starcraft 2 was terrible
new players
once you amass a certain number of brainless paypigs that enable all the bad shit it doesn't matter any longer
Why did they stop making RTS games?
They were making content for Starcraft 2 up until 2019
I'm somewhat hyped for it, but it's been like what, ten years in development?
Overwatch? D3 and 4? sure they have microtransactions but they're still AAA games. They have massive investment and risks involved which they didn't need to take.
Nope, those games exist solely to peddle MTX like the sparklepony
The initial trailer was like 2 years ago but the guy has been developing it for like 5 years or more.
Make Starcraft 2 content up until 2019
Release reforged in 2020.
Reforged flops and their RTS shit goes on hiatus until 2024
Release remasters of Warcraft 1 and 2 in 2024 and a update to Reforged.
They still do stuff for the RTS genre desu, it's just not a priority to them like WoW and Diablo is.
Elaborate
RTS are bad for casual play since they have player elimination and are generally inflexible in player count/team setup. A lot of popular mulitplayer games are popular because you can just pop in instantly with a group of your friends of whatever size for whatever duration and have low overall commitment.
idk if you can count reforged. It was basically a OW2 style low-effort swap out where they replaced an old good game with a shittier new version that aligned better with their business department's vision.
It's new in the laziest way, but it completely replaced it's predecessor so the overall number of RTS games did not increase.
RTS died when TotalBiscuit died. One man held it all together, and now watching SC2 makes me sad.
because rts games are too hard
Why is this so gray and foggy? Map should be perfectly readable in RTS.

atmosphere?
1.26a patch
Pretty sure 1.27b was the latest patch for WC3
Thick fog and dust and indistinguishable units in it
Are we talking about Silent Hill or RTS?
1.26a was a latest official patch made by og team. Adjustments for modern Windows can be made in 1.26a. I think It's also most compatible version in terms of custom maps and campaigns. There is literally no advantages in using newer version.
Do I still need to open it with cmd to get the cutscenes to work?
Are we talking about Silent Hill or RTS?
doing things differently is not bad
Map should be perfectly readable in RTS
It's a single player only game so it is perfectly fine if it prioritizes style over competitive advantages.
I think codecs will be automatically installed with the game. You can also use this github.com
Reforged also did thing differently and screwed up unit recognition ob battlefield by adding too much details to everything and making it darker. So visual is too blended.
I can't see any visual style in this gray blurred foggy mess, sorry.
undead players crying about balance
hilarious
WoW is dogshit when compared with WC3.
for you
bruh undeads are literally the least played faction in ladder (w3c). They even nerfed sacrificial dagger and gargs last patch for no reason.
Art is subjective.
Art is subjective.
Not really and It's still mess on your video, maybe It's something to do with compression. What's the name of this game?
Dustfront RTS
Release remasters of Warcraft 1 and 2 in 2024 and a update to Reforged.
They shouldn’t have. WC1 and 2 are AI upscaled hyperslop with markups and WC3R should’ve been dropped like a disabled baby the instant it flopped for good reason.
Thanks! Looks a bit better on YouTube and screenshots, probably will be fine on release. I hope there will be no TAA blurriness or shit like this, because it will kill visual. Graininess and sharpness fits this game much butter.
Looks cool, what game
because all the competent devs at Blizzard have all left
meant to
Dustfront.
There's also DORF RTS which should be visually cleaner for you.
