I have no clue why anyone would want to play either of these in the states they are atm? They both look, even aside from the fact they actually look like they came out ~15 years ago, plain bland. | ||

Zerospace, very interested I've logged around 100 hours in both. It's no contest in terms of gameplay. | ||

Me too. I've played enough SG to know that I'm not really feeling it. Haven't played ZeroSpace at all. | ||

They seems to have a solid framework of a good RTS game but I haven't seen anything that indicates it will be a "next gen RTS", nothing I've seen so far really couldn't be done 15 years ago. It's just something that really resembles a mix of SC2/WC3, almost like a mod. I will reserve my judgement until they actually showing promising progress. | ||

I mean ultimately I’ll be like 36 or older when either come out and I’ve taken a big gap from actively playing competitive RTS. Warcraft Reforged, with WC3 probably being my favourite RTS to play if not watch being such a shitshow that I didn’t buy it extended my hiatus yet further. I don’t think it’s any kind of impossible age to at least be decent, or realistically aspire to it, which is kind of a prerequisite for me to bother, but these games will have to be properly compelling in one way or another to grab me. Hey I’m hopeful, if not necessarily optimistic! Worse case scenario I’ve a huge back catalogue of interesting looking PvE RTS games to try. And in ways those can have more interesting mechanics without the constraint of trying to get razor tight balance for competitive play. | ||

Stormgate is for people who like Blizzard and (tangentionally) Warcraft 3. Everything in the development feels like Blizzard 15 years ago - company that didn't fall yet, but has seeds of its future failure growing all over it. From the beginning it focused on getting glowing reviews by game journalists and big names more than player and viewer experience. Having no observer interface during the first Major was final nail in the coffin for me. Zerospace imo has way more genuine passion for RTS behind it and a bit of that C&C feeling. And they actually prepared for their $10k tournament. Will it have worse balance that Stormgate? Sure, way more stuff to balance. Will it be more interesing to play and watch, with more faction, unit and strategy diversity? I'd say guaranteed. But if I'll want to watch balance over everything else, I'll go to the chess corner of Twitch. | ||

I didnt think I would get attacked like that in the morning ;p I feel old now. I ll stick to BW al the way to the retirement home, we need to coordinate a TL retirement so we can LAN BW there But yeah also bummed out they utterly wrecked WC3 reforged, i had high hopes for it and was ready to play with friends who dont play sc but love wc3 and wow. Interested in those PvE RTS you mention btw, if you could compile a quick top 3 - top 5? | ||

Interested in those PvE RTS you mention btw, if you could compile a quick top 3 - top 5? Provided I’m not properly senile, this is the only thing about old age I look forward to! I believe you’ve just kept playing BW, so the old age is less of an impediment than it is for me, who’s had a huge hiatus. Like I put in enough hours grinding guitar and to a lesser degree bass that I can still pick them up after a big gap and be like 90/95% of where I was at. And with a disciplined grind I’d be better than 20 year old me again pretty quickly. Me picking up competitive RTS I have to blow off a hell of a lot of cobwebs haha. I would have come back for WC3, and the frustration for me is a ton of the Northern/Southern Irish SC2 scene came in just for that game, without BW or WC3 experience. By the Reforged launch period many were just kinda burned out with SC2 and were super receptive to switching for a bit, and two of us, me (primary caster for 10 years of tournaments) and another guy (top 3 local GOAT and one of our few GMs) played thousands of WC3 games together and both have it as our favourite game. So we’d really sold the beauty of that game to the rest. The stage was 100% set for, even if it was for a few months for a big bunch of Masters level SC2 players to explore WC3 and give it a shot, enthusiasm was high. The second it launched without a proper ladder, never mind without other fun features like clans and tournaments that enthusiasm completely evaporated and like 10-15 people I’ve known very well through a decade+ of SC2 tournaments who were 100% going to give it a shot, didn’t. Hell the aforementioned WC3 vets including myself who both have WC3 as their favourite ever game didn’t. I can’t overstate quite how disastrous they fucked the potential of Reforged, still irks me to this day. As per PvE RTS I mean, I’m the kind of guy who plays a few games religiously, so I’ve got a big backlog of stuff to explore now I’m a bit more casual, and a good 20 years of classics to plough through. So I haven’t even really played AoE, or a Supreme Commander. Homeworld looks interesting to me with the full 3D element of combat in space and there’s a new game coming out there. As a big 40K nut, I’m really enjoying just playing the campaigns of the first two Dawn of War games. Recently replayed Bungie’s Myth series, well the first 2 that I feel are massively underrated and excellent ‘RTT’ games. I’m honestly not sure if they’re playable on modern systems, I just still have a 20+ year old iMac still working and the discs, so I’m not sure if it’s a useful recommendation! | ||
