#GameDev question: who is making a first person RTS? Feels interesting somehow. Do such games even exist?

@TommyvanSon Didn't the Battlefield series fall into this catrgory?

TommyvanSon,

@peterdrake i don't know. I'm thinking of games that try to work with the idea that battles are difficult to control without a helicopter view. Or some personal interaction thing that i don't really know what that would be. Take Rome Total War battles from the ground for instance.

TommyvanSon,

@peterdrake I think it does, judging by this video and the fact that more people mention it. The controls may be weird, but it's funny there's games like this. Pity (for this ancient history guy) that it's mostly futuristic or modern warfare settings.

There was once a PC Game called Sacrifice that was a TPS RTS, it was a really cool concept 😲

TommyvanSon,

@matias_hettich interesting. I'll look it up tomorrow. Thanks.

@TommyvanSon @matias_hettich similarly, and also not first person, but Brutal Legend starts out like an action adventure but becomes about avatar-led battles, with bases, towers, units and suchlike.

TommyvanSon,

@MrBehemo @matias_hettich By 'first person' I don't specifically mean the camera should be first person, but that the player is a character that plays a role in the thing, so not like a standard RTS, you controll everything with a helicopter view. I would exclude games with a Diablo kind of camera, because there's thiss a lot of view, but this one looks like I mean
