Is the RTS genre dying? I feel like most games today are much more centered around twitch shooters, MOBAs, or battle royale style games?

Mandatum?

Rogan?

>Is the RTS genre dying?
Yes. Actually, all genres are dying. The same formulas are getting boring after being rehashed hundreds of times.

Aren't we getting aoe1 remaster and aoe4 next year?
w10 exclusive of course

It just peaked too soon. No game has ever surpassed AoeII + AoC ever since they came out.

We already had this thread today. RTS games being made now don't cater to what people want and they can get what they want from other games.

Mande?

Northgard is pretty fun

Til bardaga!

who /goths/ here
>needing walls when you can build barracks

God this was the shit back in 8th grade

I love goths but I can't really do ok with them on Arabia multiplayer.

AoE 2/3 definitive before 4, didn't think 3 needed a remaster

It's not dying, it's been dead. SC2 is pretty much the only RTS with any popularity. AoE2 reboot had some attention for a time.

I'm honestly surprised people feel this way. I have always felt there is far too little diversity between the factions. IMO Age of Mythology and Brood War are better games

No, hungarians, no one cares abour your honfogalas shit history

I sure love watching competitive AOE2 on youtube. Playing it isn't as fun.

Yep, and now it's just shit.

Nah Sins of a Solar Empire kicks all the asses of modern RTS

Yeah. It's been dead ever since good companies like Westwood and Ensemble died and no one replaced them.

just play some gothic 2 nigga

Post your favourite dead RTS.

Mine is Age of Mythology. The remaster was half assed and gay. They added stupid shit like twitch integration but didn't increase the 30 unit selection limit. Fuck Microsoft.

Because at its heart, every single RTS boils down to how fast can you click the buttons in the precise perfect build order to win.

Twitch shooters, MOBAs, or battle royale style games all feature random elements that occur during the course of play. You don't play the exact same match, click for click, every single time.

It will stay dead and irrelevant until they figure out how to make RTS as casual as possible with instant gratification and short maps (you can finish a map under 30 minutes).

It's going to stay dead because it doesn't appeal to anyone and everything it did offer can be experienced in games focused on that rather than having to deal with parts of RTS games that you don't like to experience the parts that you do.

How is the multiplayer community? Worth picking up?

They are a product of their time, like fighting games. Let them die peacefully and move on.

FPS is next

And be replaced by what?

>Using 500 huskarls to burn everything into the ground

Go i love it especially that you can make hundreds of them in minutes

We have this thread every day without fail.

Depends on what you liked about them. ASSFAGGOTS for the APM people, city builder and management sims for the people that like basebuilding, or 4x and grand strategy for the strategy fans. The people that didn't like one of those more than the others are the minority which is why the genre is dead.

bump

We /tier/ now? Feel free to fill this, as I just got back to this again so I'm a bit rusty when it comes to civs except Koreans, Brits and Spanish, and want to see how people catalog the races.

RODDY DAH

I wonder if Relic will make IV like a CoH game. That strategic point based gameplay makes sense in a WW based game, but we are talking about AoE here. What about town centers? The market system?

Choppa?

>No one even noticed spellforce 3 premiere.
dead genre

I wish an RTS would have an AI that handles most of the menial APM crap and let you appreciate the situation passively like a real general.

But no. Evolution had to stop and shit crystallized in autistic genres that only indulge autists and rock bottom plebs.

Gamers like to bitch about AI but in truth don't want better AI. See, all those retards who doesn't play on best AI in warband and don't want to use brainybots.

I just started realizing this after DoW 3, I don't know why it took me so long.
