    Default Post-apocalyptic RTS by CA: Stormrise

    Hi guys,

    I bumped into this game by SEGA/CreativeAssembly today:

    http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/142/14265662.html

    Early Previews and Reviews are pretty enthusiastic. Say it's post-apocalyptic RTS with view similar to TW games with Restrict Camera On.

    Has anyone played it yet and can tell more?

    Screenies.

    Looks like a crappy version of Gears of War...

    According to the wiki:
    Early reviews from Edge Magazine UK gave Stormrise for 360 a 4/10 The PS3 version has received similar reviews from GamesTM with a score of 5/10
    Not good. I can't say I'm surprised to be honest. It didn't look all that impressive or like it brought anything new to the table, and RTS console games are usually poor to begin with.

    I've read it only works with DirectX 10 (Vista and Xbox360 only) which I don't consider a really good business idea...

    It didn't seem post-apocalyptic to me, they must have jammed that in the last 3 months after Fallout's massive success.

    I've always said it looks rubbish. The very first trailer looked pretty dire.

    Tom Clancy's EndWar also has some traces of CA blood in it. I hope after those CA will resign from modern/futuristic warfare for good and focus on what they are good at. Ancient and Medieval warfare.

    Agreed.
    They should only be making games for "PC"
    theyre , i think , the best RTS game developers ever...
    now that doesnt mean that they could go making games for consoles...
    RTS games are not for "consoles"
    Only PC <3

    CA Australia fails.. once again. Sadly.

    I was planning to get it, in maybe a year, but with those scores.. Not worth it much, imho.

    The Total War games arn't really RTSs. Only the battles are "real-time".

    Console RTS's fail miserably. Should never be done imo, unless a requirement is plugging a USB Keyboard and mouse into the console.

    The camera angle and controls on that look awful.

    FPS are fine on consoles, as long as the R2 button isnt used for shoot.

    Stormrise looks like a pile of and sounds like it too lol, CA should stick to the totalwar series. If they really wanna make a console game, am still waiting for spartan total warrior 2 *nudge nudge tap tap*
