How often do you wish that your RTS-commanded units would just shoot more accurately? They seem to go at it with an enemy squad for two or three minutes straight with slow deaths on either side - wouldn’t it just be better if you could pop in to the eyes of the squad leader and pop the enemy team in the face yourself, then hop back out to your Godly over-view?
Apparently, you’ll be able to do just that in SouthPeak Game’s upcoming RTS/FPS hybrid, which gives players the ability to reign from above giving the orders, as well as go behind the gun and do the dirty work themselves. Coming for the Xbox 360 and PC presumably this year, is Raven Squad: Operation Hidden Dagger. While it’s title is questionably lame, its concept sounds like something that will completely change the pace of the RTS genre.
Whether or not its executed well will be the back-bone of the genre-fused game, but if it’s pulled off, it could easily spark an interest in developers across the board. Switching interchangeably between the birds-eye command view and first-person-shooting, likely on the fly, intrigues us greatly, and we’re as anxious as you are not just to see if it can be pulled off, but to actually give it a shot.
