World in Conflict console delay extends to Fall '08
Sierra just announced that their already delayed console port of PC real-time strategy slash tactical game World in Conflict would indeed be coming in 2008, as promised, but long after the originally planned November '07 release. The Xbox 360 and PS3 ports will be released this Fall (yup, that's one year later than you expected) with new single- and multiplayer content looking to make up for some of that delay. If it makes you feel any better, Martin Tremblay, president of worldwide studios, Sierra Entertainment, says the "franchise" is being "reinvented" for consoles. We're not really surprised they're planning to make more, but we still love when they call singular releases "franchises."

Looks like I'll finally pick up that PC copy. Demo and Beta were amazing. Great choice if you loved Company of heroes.

Translation : The PS3 is the reason for the delay.

Translation: Gamepads suck for RTS's. We need to totally reinvent our UI.

Have you even played the game ?
It's the most minimalistic RTS there is. You don't even build things, you just command the troops in your immediate ownership, and go.
The only other portion of the game is the artillery aspect, which doesnt require a whole lot of work either.
Still, lol@fall 08'

The game does reward you if you have good microing skills, though.

The only strategy game any console user should be upset that they aren't getting is Sins of a Solar Empire. That game is simply a marvel-- and you could probably run it on a $200 computer.
Oh, and Starcraft II, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a port.

Such a great game, but of course, extras for the consoles. Here's hoping some of that is diverted toward the PC path with updates
*sigh*
