You are interested in Science-Fiction real-time strategy? Then Supreme Commander 2 might be on your radar already. Gas Powered Games' title is coming in spring 2010. In course of this announcement publisher Square Enix has released 20 new screenshots that make gamers hungy for more.

Supreme Commander 2: Technology
The important technical innovations and changes primarily affect the path finding A.I. and the lighting. Besides Global Illumination features like Screen Space Ambient Occlusion, Soft Shadows and Unit Self Shadowing deliver a very good visual appearance. The raw mass of particles was well as massive shockwaves that interact with any object make the, sometimes huge, battles something to look at. Dual Monitoring is still supported natively and a Freeze'n'Free Cam Mode is supposed to make it easy to take impressive screenshots.

Thanks so much, Yapa, for the information !

In E3 little map near an abyss, I get a different impresion and thought also the game was suffering from videoconsolish port. RTS -and much more in those which require a fast & multitudinary massive selection of hundred of units....let´s say it is not my chosen platform for the game. (I got an Xbox 360 too, for it´s real exclusvi, but S.C. 2 I will get for PC for sure)

But watching new pics in which the game has more bigger maps and a lot of different units, this game will be Day One for me.

And C & C 4, Napoleon Total War and Starcraft 2.... 2010 is a nice RTS Year for this genre!!

4th Dimension mod looks great, by the way !

I was a pretty hardcore Supcom/Supcom Forged Alliance player and they are still imo THE BEST rts games to date.... there is endless possibilities for strategy and its also a lot of fun!

However with Supcom2 I have a feeling they have "dumbed" the game down for the console/xbox 360 crowd. I have been following the progress of this new supcom and some things have me worried.

If anyone is interested a guy going by the Alias of "Sorian" has a blog here:

He was the best AI modder for Supcom/SupcomFA and then got hired by GPG because he was so good, he now works there on Supcom2 and has a blog in which he updates everyone on the game.

Chris Taylor is a name on RTS, and I respect too much him for his work and PC support. RTS Games are G-R-E-A-T! Settleres 7, Anno 1404, Tropico 3, etc... a hole world and a big PC game genre. Keep up the amazing work, PCGH !
