So what's it like, StarCraft without the PvP?
it has pvp and while im no expert i think starcraft is close to it gameplay wise
Huh? Its like both of those. including the pvp. It has both a campaign and pvp like most other rts games, including starcraft and red alert.
The person i replied to was saying that it would work on a controller.
Oh okay, just for me to have an idea. I liked both of those games but played them very minimally.
It's similar to Red Alert but with more of a focus on building resource pipelines to build combat units.
2 Definitive already did this, I'd be surprised if they walked it back
What's the difference between them, 1, 2 and 3?
1 is almost a prototype. Very, very primitive in a lot of ways. 3 changed up a bunch of stuff and is generally just not as well received, leaving 2 as the, well, definitive edition.
3 is a classic example of fixing something that wasn't broken.
Which was a questionable idea, given that among the "big" of the genre AoE has always been THE base-building-centric RTS and its audience loved it for it.
The point of making a sequel is to make a new game rather than carbon copying all the systems. Sometimes it doesn't work out too well, but better that than not trying IMO.
The point of making a sequel in the same series rather than a new franchise is also to identify what's the specific appeal of your game and to build on that, not to throw away the core of it just to try different things... Or at very least you should be sure to have ANOTHER unique appeal to replace what you are removing.
Pc only... For now at least. Maybe they bring it to xbox in some form later with kbm support
DoW is sort of an interesting example of this exactly - DoW1 was a totally different game than DoW2, and in DoW3 they pulled out the RP mechanics from 2 in favor of slightly higher unit counts and really big units, and it just wasn't enough to make it interesting.
