Hellow everyone not been on here for a while just a couple of quick questions, i have build 2 gaming pcs in the past then sold them as rts games not released to often i live games like the total war series and red alert etc but not often out so end up selling them pretty quickly as hate things sitting about not getting used, i purchased a ps4 snd thats now doing exactly the same thing, you think eventually rts games will come to consoles ?

And what games are coming soon to pc rts style games i know attila is already out and looks good and warhammer one coming out, i have never played cossaks but heard its good and 3rd one due to come out, is there many other decent ones due for release ? I am asking as thinking of selling ps4 and building another pc but will have to keep the next one lol i always worry if only few games every few years the hardware will quickly get old but ps4 hsrdwsre etc doesnt change

any help or info would be great
thanks dean
 
Starcraft 2 is probably one of the most popular PC RTS's. There is the final expansion due out soon TM.

Consoles suck for RTS's, you really need mouse and keyboard, playing RTS with a gamepad must be impossible.

But yeah there's not been a lot else recently tbh. Age of Mythology was a classic ;)
 
very much depends on what type of TRS games you want.
most of them seem to be old school.
have you considered Turned based games?

Civilisation 5 perhaps and Anno 2070

Supreme Commander has a good following and its successor : Planetary Annihilation seems popular and interesting in concept for Sci Fi

Regarding PS4 hardware. ots more the games are designed for the hardware, were as PC games are more gernalistic due to the wide variety of hardware configuration. you could play on minimal settings to extend hardware. a decent PC should last you 4 years minimum. longer if your doing RTS / Turned based.
 
Thanks for the replys never really looked at turned based games whats the difference I will have a look properly when get home, just love building basses and large armys, last 2 computers I spent around £400-450 and plaed the total war games brilliantly, I am going to be leaving the next one in sitting room connected to my TV so hopefully get more use out of it when everyone in bed as no longer have a spare room anyway, so anyone else know good games due out war hammer total war Cossacks 3 any more ?

Yeah start craft looked good but never played it though and age of mythology and age of empires were great, maybe eventually rts will be on ps4 when u plug in a mouse and keyboard but don't think anytime soon you think the budget of £450 will build a decent rig that will play the newest total war on high setting ?

Thanks again dean
 
There are sooo many great RTS games on PC...

Total Annihilation
Red Alert 2
CnC Generals

And new arrivals over the next few months?

Ashes of the Singularity

To name a few...
 
Wow great list of rts and I have played a few but not all of them, I need to build another pc and this time KEEP IT , might sell ps4 to fund half it at least, I managed 2 times before so hopefully be ok, will £450 be enough for a decent pc to play total war etc in high specs just for the pc itself don't need monitor etc.

Do ssd hard drives make pc run much faster etc along side a normal hdd ? Would love alienware laptop but not shelling out £1000+ So build a pc it is, also looked and the turn based games and not a fan sorry

Thanks dean
 
you think the budget of £450 would buy a decent gaming pc to play total war etc on high settings, will just connect up to my tv as going to buy a 4k one soon also any info on questions above would be great

thanks dean
 
£450 will be close to getting a PC to play those games, but not at 4k ;)

If you went for 2nd parts you could easily do it for £450

£450 should be fine for a decent spec PC. SSDs are great to have as a Boot drive/games you play often. Get a 256GB one and a 1TB HDD to run with it and load most games onto the HDD, use the SSD for Windows and most other applications (including Steam, just change the steam library to run from the HDD).

The sort of Spec I would go for:

Intel Core i5 3.2Ghz CPU + (Or AMD Equivalent)
8GB DDR3 RAM
256GB SSD
1TB HDD
NVidia GTX960 GPU (or AMD Equivalent)
Windows 10 Home license

Ask in the General hardware section and someone may be able to spec one up for you parts wise. It is a rough spec that I have posted, but it should give you an idea.
 
Supreme Commander forged alliance - about £10 on steam then install the FAF (Forged Alliance Forever) client from www.faforever.com .

Great community, mods, maps etc ....

easily one of the best RTS games i have played (and have been playing it for the past 3 years)
 
Supreme Commander forged alliance looked really good for £10 I will have to check it out and thanks everyone for your help I will ask for a spec in the hardware forum soon

thanks and hope for more rts games in future:)

This, after every RTS that gets released, I always come back to FA-Forever. No game has come close to the level of this in the last 10 years and is the best post-golden era RTS game there is IMO!
 
Warm Flat Coke... C&C
Would put Xcom on that list if you are playing single player as well. all the way.
