Tom Clancy: Endwar to Change the Face of Console RTS?
Ubisoft's Julian Geright is apparently quite confident in the power of the next installment of the Tom Clancy series with Tom Clancy: Endwar . Designed specifically for the PS3 and Xbox 360, Geright hopes that this is a breakthrough for console RTS play similar to Goldeneye's FPS breakout. "This is the first game of its type and I don't think that games on console will be made the same after Endwar, [...] It's kind of boastful, but I really do think that this is a watershed type of game."
Because the controllers suck. If a console FPS were anywhere near as easy to play as a PC FPS, you could network them together, and console players would have a fair chance against PC players. It's been done, it's not a fair fight.
You may have a point that younger players are better at using their crappy controllers than us older folks, but given the choice of controllers, keyboard will beat gamepad every time.
