Halo Wars

Posted by [Guardian Archangel] on October 11, 2006 | Category: Games |

I just seem to love to write things that aren’t based on anime.

Came across this trailer through a webcomic….must say their trailer is extremely nice. All of it is prerendered, but who cares, it is made by the group that does the Age of Empires series. So, with that last sentence, yes it IS a RTS game. The game takes place before the first Halo game. Supposively when the UNSC first came in contact with the Covenant.

A few faq answers from their homepage:

Q: What is “Halo Wars”?

A: “Halo Wars” is the next big real-time strategy game from Ensemble Studios, creators of Age of Empires. Designed exclusively for the Xbox 360, “Halo Wars” allows you to take charge of the human UNSC armies and see the Halo universe from a totally new perspective.

Q: Why is “Halo” being made into an RTS game?

A: Warthogs are cool. Scorpions are cool. Controlling lots of Warthogs and Scorpions and sending them into battle is really, really cool.

We’ve been big fans of Halo for years at Ensemble Studios, and when we sat down to discuss our next project we thought Halo would be absolutely perfect as an RTS on the Xbox 360.

Q: Other RTS games that have transitioned to console have had issues with controls, how will “Halo Wars” improve on the formula?

A: “Halo Wars” was created for the Xbox 360 from the ground up, which meant we didn’t have to make compromises or shoe-horn in artifacts from a Windows PC game. We were able to take all the best aspects of RTS games, make them work perfectly on the Xbox 360, and exclude the rest.

Needless to say, I’m looking forward to this game and I wish soooo hard that they’ll make a port to the pc. THEY NEED A PC VERSION!
