PC, 360 - it's War !

Universe At War - that is !A new preview and from the sound and looks of the game; I'm very interested.This title is cross platform PC/360 though I'm sure 360 owners find that cooler then do the PC players.Get this - the 360 version includes achievements and while that is a given the fact that one of the achievements that I find worth getting is the one for beating a PC player ! j/k sorta :DAnywho, looks nicer these days and I'm going to keep an eye on this title.http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/850/850009p1.htmlPC, 360 - it's War !
Unless this game supports a mouse and keyboard on the 360, I suspect the console players will get rocked.PC, 360 - it's War !

Isnt this game already out on the PC and got a 7.5? I think?Cross-platform is nice, but the game doesnt seem that good tbh.

BRING IT ON !!!I played over 50 RTS games, I will destroy consoles since you cannot bunny-hop with Universe

The game is really good and I suspect cross platform will be good also.
I'm going to say a prayer to all 360 owners. Unless there is a forced option where hotkeys cannot be used, I suspect that 360 gamers are going to cry out in horror as their front lines get shattered by the superior speed and microing skills of PC gamers.
Interesting. The only RTS game that I'll probably ever have for a console (assuming it turns out well) is Halo Wars.

That one shadow game did the same thing making turn speeds very slow even for pc users, while giving auto aim to console... But good luck, this will most likely require Xboxlive gold account.. Most pc gamers will simply not pay for it.. ESPECIALLY for a 7.5 game when there are tons of recent AA/AAA rts games out there that have free multiplayer.. Apparently microsoft doesn't understand this..

It's one of the reasons why I'm torn between getting Gears of War for the PC and just ignoring it: Locking up the majority of features behind an additional $50 price tag is just brutal.

[/QUOTE] Well for one there just isn't enough games to justify getting a xboxlive account.. 4 games total.. I believe only 1 game even got above a 8.0 that has the feature, and thats Gears.. Secondly look at the competition.. Very few people will play Universe if any at all if they havn't played Supreme Commander, Dawn of War, company of Heroes, World in Conflict, SIns of a Solar Empire, CnC 3 etc etc.. The list just goes on of top quality recent games.
It's nice for those who want to play with their friends who don't own a PC/360, but MS requiring a Gold account for cross-plat play kinda destroys that nice idea too, unless the PC gamer also has a 360 he won't pay for Gold, and if he does have a 360 then they could play together anyway. So ..I don't really see the whole cross-plat play benefiting anyone. :/

Chances are there will be no cross play content just due to how fundamentally different it is.. Not to mention these games would have to nerf pc users with a patch on top of that.. I don't care what nay one says you can not keep up with some one who uses hotkeys with a game pad.
