Think there will be a supreme commander 3?

[Maximilian]

Supcom 1 was awesome, supcom 2 was meh, i see what they were trying to do with it but they dumbed it down too much to the point where its just another RTS.

Any hope for supcom 3?

With the trend of making for consoles and porting to PC, don't expect anything wonderful even if they do....

forged alliance is still great, especially now that you can build a computer that will run the damn game without slowing to a crawl 20 minutes in.

Supreme Commander was a huge letdown for some people who were expecting something different. Supreme Commander 2 was a stinker for pretty much everyone. Neither game was phenomenally successful. I think they might have killed the franchise. And of course there's always the argument that its difficult in modern times for a PC exclusive title to be very successful.

i'm curious if you could shed some more light on this

If you read all the forums and reviews and get a general idea of what fans were talking about, you could easily reach the conclusion that even though it was a good game many people were expecting a lot more from the gameplay, not just a 3D version of Total Annihilation. Not everyone was impressed with it.
I thought the first one was great, way more fun than Starcraft or many of the other popular titles at that time. But it wasnt well received across the whole fan base.

Probably because a lot of people prefer the RTS of Starcraft or Civ, not in between which is where SC really fits. Everyone I know how enjoyed TA loved SC.

I thought SC:FA was amazing. We lan partied that thing to death. It was ideal for turtle players though so I wouldn't be surprised if people who prefer faster paced RTSs didn't like it that much. SC2 was a letdown for me.

SupCom would have been pretty decent except that the average computers and internet connections back then were too immature to make it really work. Single player was boring and multiplayer was just an unplayable mess due to lag (at least early on when I originally tried it).

I hope they come back and make a supcom3 in the same vein as the first game, I was a big fan of TA back in the day and liked supcom a lot too so the second game was a massive disappointment for me. I might just have to break out supcom again now that I have a PC to run it properly...

Yeah.... damn im supposed to be doing uni work but trashing the AI's swarm of units with a monkeylord sounds more fun.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

I'd be down for it assuming it's not like Sup com 2. Thank God I tried the demo before I bought it.
Anyone down for some Sup Com action? Maybe we can have a AT Sup Com fight night.

 

[Karstein]

TA > Supcom > Supcom 2

By this trend, I'm not really bothered if there is a Supcom 3 at this stage.

 

[lord_emperor]

Yes, I also hope Total Annihilation 4 is being made.

 

[Red Storm]

Supcom 1 was amazing. I spent hours just messing with unit stats and abilities (made a scout plane fly so fast it couldn't land, would just spin in circles!). The way you could zoom in and out is one of the coolest things I've seen in a video game.

Supcom 2 was so bastardized I felt like I got ripped off even though I got it for $5.

 

[Craig234]

People want Total Annihilation 2.

Total Annihilation: Kingdoms wasn't it.
Supreme Commander wasn't it.
Supreme Commander 2 wasn't it.

 

[KaOTiK]

If SupCom 3 is going to be anything like 2 then they can just keep it. They killed the franchise with 2, it was flat our horrible. I rather whip my ass till it bleeds then play that shit. I love SupCom 1. Still play it quite a bit, but man 2 was just horrible, fucking consoles.

Kingdoms was supposed to be different.
And it was.

Supreme Commander was supposed to be more and better but basically the same. Not enough fans of the original were pleased with it, if the forum posts and amateur reviews were any indication.

LOL, agreed!

I had a ton of fun in Supcom:FA recently just playing a 1vs3 comp stop. I built a massive defensive base capable of holding off huge waves of enemies and stopping experimental units in their tracks. At the end I built an army of only experimental units and set them to march straight through the cpus bases killing everything on the way. Was awesome.

Comp stomp is fun :thumbsup: I just pasted three AI's with 16 scathis artillery. I wish the AI would use its fking experimental units though... dont know why they never move.

We're you playing fully updated and the expansion? I definitely remember being hit by quite a few experimental units. Mostly from the air.

That might be the problem i didnt update it ill give it a bash.

 

[PrayForDeath]

Big fan of the original TA, and really enjoyed the zoom feature in SupCom. Never touched SupCom2 though due to all the horrible reviews.

I wouldn't be that excited about a SupCom3 after seeing 2.

 

[Ancalagon44]

I must be one of the few that liked SC2. It is a very different game to SC1 though, designed with a much broader appeal. Sometimes I didnt feel like playing SC1 or FA because of the work involved in constantly expanding and keeping your mexes upgraded. Its a lot to do, especially when you are a more casual player like me. I enjoyed both I suppose, although its a pity that SC2 lost the epic scale of SC1, but I think they had no choice.

I wouldnt bet on an SC3, but I think Chris Taylor will probably make another similar RTS in future. Maybe with the next console generation. Hopefully it will be somewhere between SC1 and 2.
