Nov 13, 2007 Epic PC RTS Supreme Commander has been re-confirmed for Xbox 360 - though it's making the trip to console without its original developer and publisher. The Total Annihilation spiritual sequel was developed by Gas Powered Games and published by THQ earlier this year, and received high praise for its stupidly-big battles and no-frills approach to RTS combat. The 360 versions is being published by Aspyr and co-developed by Hellbent games in Vancouver. We hope it's up to the task ... » Read More

PC - Supreme Commander - Console version of Supreme Commander in development Developer says Xbox 360 is "platform of choice".

The developer behind PC RTS Supreme Commander has confessed that he is working on a console version of the game.

In an interview with Pro-G, Chris Taylor, founder of Gas Powered Games and the man behind Dungeon Siege, classic PC RTS Total Annihilation and its recent spiritual successor Supreme Commander, said that the Xbox 360 would be the most likely console destination for the game because "it's the platform of choice for moving stuff from the PC".

Speaking on the issue of controls with RTS games on consoles, Taylor said: "I use the football analogy. The first RTS game was the kick and then we had to take the ball a few more yards down the field every iteration. We're getting closer and closer to that touchdown. We may be a few more iterations of the UI and interface before we get there."

Gas Powered Games has moved quickly to follow up Supreme Commander's release in February with Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, which is due this November. Forged Alliance is more expansion rather than full-blown sequel. THQ explains it's a standalone title that's compatible with the original RTS "enabling all-new strategic options." The game follows the story of the original title in the aftermath of the Infinite War, and features a new single-player campaign, a new faction and over 100 ... » Read More

PC - Supreme Commander - No DirectX 10 Supreme Commander The GPGnet Forums have word that there are no plans to implement DirectX 10 support in Supreme Commander:
"Despite the best efforts of our own team and our partners from Microsoft and Nvidia, the timing simply did not line up. The availability of DX10 hardware, final releases of Vista itself, and the solid drivers simply did not line up with the necessary time frames in our development cycle. Having missed that window, our dev team has focused on graphical improvements that will benefit a far wider audience than the still very small but growing segment of Vista users with DX10 compatible cards. Having missed that window, the resources necessary to integrate the tech do not make sense compared to what can be accomplished for that greateraudience."

PC - Supreme Commander - Microsoft striving for simultaneous Vista, 360 releases Microsoft is hoping to see more titles released simultaneously on the Xbox 360 and Vista platforms, according to Rick Wickham, director for the Windows Gaming business.

Wickham indicated that a number of PC and Xbox 360 titles will launch at the same time this year, although he added that it was essentially a decision left to individual third-party publishers.

The initiative is just one of many designed to marry the two platforms, along with games that are playable across both formats and the adoption of Xbox Live features into PC gaming.

Achievement points, a key aspect of Xbox Live play, are also set to be incorporated into PC games and Windows Vista over the coming year.

Microsoft hopes to entice a majority of game developers to release titles under the Games for Windows branding, building a portfolio of titles. Games on show at the event included Crytek's Crysis, Funcom's Age of Conan, Flagship Studio's Hellgate: London and Gas Powered Games' Supreme Commander.
