It's too early to talk about specific control solutions and so on, but it will definitely be able to hold its own compared to the PC version.ĭid you have to 'dumb down' the game for 360 or will it be the same game as the PC? It's very console-friendly because of the free camera and the small number of units that you have to handle. I think they're secure with the whole idea. The 360 version is being developed alongside the PC version by Swordfish Studios in Manchester. RTS games have never really worked on the Xbox 360 - how did you get round the control and cultural (console vs PC) issues? World in Conflict borrows ideas from both the FPS genre and the RTS genre, and combines them in a pretty unique way. To get these huge 16 player matches flowing smoothly we allow the player to drop-in and join any server at any time. The tactical depth of the game lies in teamplay, and at the heart of teamplay lies the role system that lets you pick one of 4 military specializations before you enter a team of 8. Unlike most other strategy games, World in Conflict takes a step away from conventional base-building and resource management, putting more focus on the fight itself. PC gaming is awash with RTS games - what makes WiC stand out? World in Conflict is essentially a very fast-paced, action-oriented game with some of the greatest graphics the RTS genre has ever seen. I spoke to Magnus Jansén, the Lead Game Designer from the developers Massive Entertainment, about the first strategy game inspired by the 80s film Red Dawn. WiC is very pretty, very violent and may yet persuade me to finally cross the RTS divide.

But what I've seen so far suggests they may be on to something. World in Conflict is supposedly the Real Time Strategy game for those who don't like them - me, and I guess a few others then.
