…ers of AI attacks. The original Warcraft/Starcraft is a poorer cousin and can offer inspiration if they have been ported to consoles. The challenge is input remapping to controllers to handle 20-30 different simultaneous group and singular attacks. All these require different configurations army builds and different attack/defence tactics and moves — and … all the while building 30-40 different things with villagers. So, you are managing at least 50-60 groups in parallel. The challenge of RTS is massive number of units requiring attention or requiring action . Usually very difficult even in normal modes, and requires massive multitasking. If they can even offer some controller solution there for Consoles, then it would be good. But the real solution has to be M+KB in addtion to controller.

I knew that are different genres, the example was Desperados 3 vs Gears Tactics where the latter, MS owned, wasn’t on console from day one, while the former was day one on it. This comparison was part of a larger thought about MS unwillingness and/or reticence to port pc focused games on console from day one as they should, like the aforementioned AoE, Gears Tactics and even Fligh Sim. I know there are different shades of difficulties, but Tactics imo was not very excusable considering much smaller titles…

AoE 2 was on PS2 and Starcraft was on N64, so it’s definetely possible, I know it’s not trivial, but I’m not buying the cheap excuses from MS, that’s my point. They aren’t doing only because the public outcry on the subject is not so strong.
