Is there any hope that Ensemble has played Myth, or are they just going to make an AoE knockoff?

I think odds are good it'll be like myth, because Halo was originally planned to be a myth style tactics game before it became a first person shooter. Hopefully they're just making it using the original design documents.

if its xbox 360 only then who really cares.... Not me I haven't been into console stuff and dont plan to be... the closest ive come to Console game systems was at oogas house I think he has every console system ever made. ;)

im sure it will look cool however they do it though since im probably only gonna see movies of it so game play whatever...

now that im back on a mac... the only game is myth... lol..

The part that worries me is that, instead of it being a Bungie launched project, Ensemble started making the game and THEN took it to Bungie; essentially saying “Ooh, look at how cool our game is! Can we be your friend now and borrow your IP?”. Naturally, I’ve got no idea what this means for its Mythiness.

Are you telling me that you wouldn’t get a console to play a new version of Myth? Not that Halo Wars is necessarily anything like that...

I'll tell you that right here: I would not get a console to play any form of Myth.

Halo wars RTS will suck balls, because

A. players have to move the entire screen with a central recticle over units to controll or move them.

B. looks like its only got cookie cutter non-interactive physics

C.its not made by bungie in any way.

Teehee can Halo have Mythyness? i wonder...real FPS halo is very physics based...so maybe it can..hmmmm

if was going to get a console I would play halo I wouldnt need a new myth version.. I just dont have the time for a gaming system in my life... I dont even have time in my life to watch tv... I play myth while doing other stuff I make myth stuff while doing other stuff... its good simple fast diversions from the must do's in life. thousands of cool games have come out since myth ... I have dabbled in a few the truth is the cool ones take too much time to play... a myth game (mazz excepted) can be over and done with, fun had in less than ten minutes viva la KOTH...

I will get a console when I retire and or married with a bunch of kids then I might have the down time.

I might purchase a console to play "Myth X: Still not Myst". But the only way I can imagine a console working with the user interface complexities of Myth would be one with a gesture controller (wii) and a whole hella lotta function keys.

They have keyboard and mouse combos for x box and 360.
only way to play myth is with keyboard/mouse.
