PS3 Games \ RTS games on the PS3
Kudos: 110

I enjoy a FPS as much as the next person but really enjoy playing strategy games like command and conquer etc.
I have noticed the xbox360 has a couple of C&C games but cant see any for the PS3. Does anyone know why this is the case.
C&C is made by EA so I wouldnt think it would be an exclusive issue, and the controllers are the same... So Why?
I realise their probably easier to play on the pc with a mouse and shortcuts anyway but I was just curious
Any ideas anyone?

and rts is usually a genre reserved for the pc, because it's a LOT easier to play with a mouse.

Nah, You just use a controller, it's fairly decent though, Just hard to micro.

Waiting for EndWar.
There isn't a huge market for RTS games on consoles

well if anything, RTS would be way better on PS3 due to mouse + keyboard support.
those games require micro and fast mouse and even accurate mouse movements (due to some units being pretty small, and having to move them quickly).

i think you should be able to use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard for games so they can make C&C the same as the PC version

Starcraft is definitely an RTS! One of the most popular, Though the Korean stigma that follows it is a bit of a turnoff.

Sweet, cheers man for clearing that up, yeah thats what made me sort of think wether it was an RTS or not, because of the recent Starcraft Ghost with the red headed girl as the lead character
