Spartan: new game from Age of Empires dev

CATEGORY: News/Announcement | GAME: - other By Karar

Ensemble studio created "Age of Empires" series for microsoft, but later Microsoft shutdown their studios after Halo Wars. The team members formed a new studio called "Robot Entertainment" and they were working on a new RTS by codename of "Project S" for microsoft. But from a leaked screenshot of startup screen.. it is now known that the game is called "SPARTAN" for now.

and from the change log, it seems that it wont be just another RTS, but will have quests and crafting.. so its a mix of RPG and RTS. its not like RPG+RTS havnt been done before but crafting and side quests are really something no RTS explored before. Plus the concept art of game looks gorgoeus.. hope the game stays true to visual idea in that image. cuz RTS surly need a different look from their generic graphics. The game is planned for PC and Xbox for now. But will use GFWL so u can say bye bye to any good lan or online support.. hope they make singleplayer experience worth it now.
