Universe at War Xbox360
Posted by Ryan. Filed under Microsoft Xbox 360, News, PC, Ryan. Tagged with Sega Gamer's Day, Universe at War.
Today, Sega announced that Universe at War, the PC real-time strategy game, is also headed to the Xbox 360, just like the recent Command and Conquer game. RTS games generally don’t fare as well as on consoles compared to PC, as the mouse and keyboard make the thing so much faster and easier.
I’m very excited about this game though, as it’s shaping up to be a cracking RTS. I will most definitely be getting this for the PC and not the Xbox 360 as the PC really does lend itself to these games much more than a controller. But it won’t hurt to release the game on the Xbox 360, and will open the game up to a larger fanbase.

Hmm does anyone else hear “Online Multiplayer”?
Xbox Live will make this game much better. I know RTS games are online on the PC - but I definitely prefer the ease of Xbox Live play to any PC game online.

The problem with that is, if your playing against people on the PC your going to looooooose every time.
The Mouse just makes everything much much faster, and you can make hotkeys, like you press 1 or 2 and it will select units from anywhere on the map that you have chooses to be set to that number.

Well how about using a keyboard with your 360?
You can use any standard USB keyboard with your 360. MAYBE just Maybe they will also let you use a mouse with your 360 fr this game too!
-But I know what you are saying.
In any case there have been so few games that allow consoles to play against PC gamers that I doubt they will have it setup like that. I think it will be Xbox vs Xbox and PC vs PC.
Unless they use my brilliant idea of letting us play with mice on the 360 :)
