  • Halo Wars proved that real-time strategy games could thrive on consoles, delivering an accessible yet deep experience that brought the genre to a wider audience. But despite its success, the RTS revolution it could have sparked never happened. Why didn’t other major franchises like Killzone, Gears of War, or even Star Wars follow suit? In this video, we dive into the legacy of Halo Wars, exploring how it showed the way for RTS games on consoles, why no one followed, and what could have been a golden age for strategy gaming.
    🎮 Let’s talk about what went wrong, what could have been, and whether the RTS genre can still make a comeback!

    Idk how it work but some form of horror RTS would be super interesting

    • @HoundlanderGaming
      @HoundlanderGaming  2 дня назад +1

      I could not agree more mate, that would be amazing. Gears and Halo both started out with huge horror elements and then moved away from it, Gears E-Day that is next in line looks to be heading back in that direction, so never say never. You could have the giant monsters breach out of the ground, troops frozen from fears, units switch sides from mind control. The possibilities are endless, the problem is, developers are too scared to take a chance. I love that idea though.

    W video man! I think at the time the open world games were getting popular is the main reason. Maybe online multiplayer was getting very accessible too. But hard to tell.

    • @HoundlanderGaming
      @HoundlanderGaming  5 дней назад

      Yeah possibly bro, it's just a shame that developers follow the trends and neglect genres. They aren't happy making 80m profit, they want 400m!

      It was for most of us man, the fact it would be hard to fill with loot boxes and skins I'm sure is a problem for developers 🤣🤣

    An RTS souls-likes would be cool.

    • @HoundlanderGaming
      @HoundlanderGaming  21 час назад

      I actually don't think that would be very hard to pull off, obviously the boss battles would have to be different, but the atmosphere and universe would be amazing. Great idea! Thanks for watching!

    • @luckysn1ke
      @luckysn1ke 20 часов назад +1

      @HoundlanderGaming Of course. Now that I think about it, Diablo and Grim Dawn have it down at least a little bit, even though they aren't souls-likes, so not really much to expand on but yeah, boss battles would be the biggest adjustment.

    • @HoundlanderGaming
      @HoundlanderGaming  20 часов назад

      yeah you are right, Diablo i think is very close. Some RTS games now are allowing you to switch to third person and take control of one unit, it could allow you to do that for boss battles. Would be very cool!

      I think it could work, having heroes as well like Price, Ghost etc Makarov, shepherd for the bad guys. There was rumours a couple of years ago that one was in the works, it went quiet.
