Supreme Commander Confirmed for Xbox 360 in 2008
by Chris Remo, Nov 12, 2007 6:00am PSTOfficially confirming statements made to us by Chris Taylor of Gas Powered Games, publisher Aspyr Media has announced that PC real-time strategy title Supreme Commander is in the works for Xbox 360. Vancouver-based Hellbent Games, founded in 2006 by former Rockstar Vancouver/Barking Dog Studios designer Christopher Mair, will be handling the port. Due in early 2008, the Xbox 360 port of the game will feature newly-created units, maps, multiplayer modes, and interface and HUD elements. Xbox Live-based online multiplayer will of course be supported. "We believe that we¹ve raised the bar for RTS gaming on the PC and now, co-developing with Hellbent Games, we know that we can do the same on consoles," said Taylor in today's announcement. Last month, Taylor characterized Xbox 360 as "the platform of choice for moving stuff from the PC." He acknowledged the strategy genre's control interface obstacles on consoles, but stated, "we're getting closer and closer to that touchdown." Aspyr will be publishing Supreme Commander on Xbox 360; it will be the company's first game for Microsoft's current-gen console. PC version publisher THQ does not appear to be directly involved.

Supreme Commander is IMO the best RTS ever made, and it runs circles around that crappy overrated RTS known as Starcraft. Starcraft felt old the day it was released. It couldnt even touch the complexity of Total Annihilation, which Supreme Commander is the sequel too.
You people that act like Starcraft is the only RTS in town make me sick, stick your head outside, unless you are Korean and you are just supporting your national pastime I don't get what your deal is with that shitty game.

That aside, this is probably the stupidest decision in gaming since Daikatana was released. SupCom is difficult enough to manage with a keyboard and mouse; it will be atrocious with a controller. I can see the Dungeon Siege series being ported to console, but not SupCom. The GPG guy in charge of console stuff must be retarded, UNLESS they bundle a keyboard/mouse with this. People say Microsoft won't let that happen, but people already get special guitar controllers for Guitar Hero, etc... Why not a special controller for a game that demands one even more?
