The stellar PC strategy game, World in Conflict, has been announced for PS3 today. Formerly a Xbox 360 console exclusive, Sierra has rightly delayed console development to make sure both PS3 and 360 owners can enjoy one of the best RTS games of last year.
"World in Conflict was one of the best games on any platform in 2007 and its innovative action-focused gameplay makes it a perfect fit for the transition to consoles," said Martin Tremblay, president of worldwide studios, Sierra Entertainment. "World in Conflict is being reinvented for Xbox 360 and the PS3, with innovative features and new single player and multiplayer content created for the console audience. World in Conflict on consoles will be an amazing extension of an already great gaming franchise."
For the uninitiated, World in Conflict takes place in a fictional past, where the Cold War didn't end. As Russian troops surprise attack the West, players must use whatever they can to regain the initiative and fight back the massive Russian army. The game is being planned for console release this Fall.

I was though my pc has started to fall down the requirements needed which is why I am slowly moving to console gaming except for Unreal and the vast abyss of free MMO's

For the love of God, please add at the very least mouse support. I'm an RTS veteran (ironically look at WIC for the PC today, I was part of the Beta test, but it didn't play too well (well, ok, but not in sexy DX10) on my PC) - but having played RTS games on the PC for decades, I need a goddam mouse!

If they do not put it, I will be pissed off. I mean the PS3 has the capability, its like having a PC RTS without a mouse and throwing some gamepad control.

RTS on a console = fail, UNLESS you have keyboard/mouse support.

exactly. thats the true way to play an RTS, its very difficult to play RTS on a controller.

That's why they are "reinventing" it. They want to make it suitable for consoles, and they know it's not as simple as whipping up a new control scheme.

ryan said...
that's fine with me, bioshock was pretty boring halfway through with a lame ending boss. and if i'm incorrect it's sequel will grace 360 as well.

This is good news. I liked the BETA for this but thought the entire game was a little 'lite'.

Blackacidstang, he's probably talking about CnC 1 + RA1, the two best games in the franchise (long live Westwood)
