As long as the evolution doest involve micro transactions.

They are evolving. Just look at battle aces

AoE4 strikes a nice balance between old AoE and more modern games if you ask me. You can even play it with a controller if you want.

Beyond All Reason (open source with FOSS engine), Stormgate (proprietary but made by ex-SC2 devs) are separate attempts at what I would call innovating the RTS genre.

AoE2 DE by Microsoft is tried, true and super popular still but many aspects are still from the original game 20 years ago. AoE 4 seems to kind of be the attempt at improving the formula, seems okay.

The Starcraft 2 engine is amazing but now under Microsoft ownership, I was hopeful initially but it looks as though it will continue to be left to rot. If only they could give it a Halo makeover using the same engine that would be awesome.

IMO the problem is learning curve, it makes it difficult for non-rts players to get into it

And the menuing in the trailer (tech trees) seems to exasperate this issue

communist,

This is why I believe immortal gates of pyre will win

Sc2 WoL is one if my favourite games, and no RTS has come close to it in my eyes

I hope we will se more non-micro RTS games. More like HOI4, but that takes less than 1 hour to finish a game. Dune and Line Wars are on the right track.

Oh my, pretty. I have to try this! No idea what is pushing past my usual aversion to dark themes.

RightHandOfIkaros, in The voice actor of the GMan just posted this promising cryptic HL3 rumor

Just seems like a New Years thing to me. Am I missing something?

DarkThoughts, in The voice actor of the GMan just posted this promising cryptic HL3 rumor

In before HL 1 & 2 remaster disappointments. Or just absolutely nothing happening, just like all the previous copium rumors. I think I stopped caring back with the recorded soundtrack rumors, which already feel like an eternity ago at this point.

Nexy, in Age of Empires designer believes RTS games need to finally evolve after decades of stagnation

No one was even close to do something as good as starcraft 2. How they will evolve the genre?

communist,

Immortal gates of pyre are going to overthrow it, they have such an amazing team and the game looks fucking awesome

Nexy,

I hope so
