Gas Powered Games New RTS: Kings and Castles
From the maker of Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander comes Kings and Castles.
Are you a fan of RTS games? Then you'll know a lot about the classic Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander. One of the minds behind those two RTS games, Chris Taylor, is leaving the futuristic theme behind and is going old-school fantasy.
Gas Powered Games announced yesterday that work has started on Kings and Castles, an epic real-time strategy game for the PC and next-generation consoles. The game will let players take on the role of one of three powerful kings who are vying for control of an all-new, original fantasy world.
"We’re doing something different this time around," said Chris Taylor, Creative Director of Gas Powered Games. "We want to take our fans on a great adventure with us. They’ll get to go behind-the-scenes and watch the game come to life from start to finish."
Using the game’s website and social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter (follow DeathBot9, Chris Taylor’s personal account), GPG will give its fans a (mostly) unfiltered look inside the development process of Kings and Castles. "Synergy will be leveraged, and paradigms will be established," said Taylor. "More importantly, buzzwords will be utilized."
GPG will be posting regular updates about Kings and Castles on its website. The first video blog went live today. It contains graphic scenes of wood chopping, chickens, and the obligatory horse biting.
"We also promise to gouge evil from its shell at least once, or maybe twice,” said Taylor. “But not three times. That would be weird."

Sounds interesting! Chris Taylor seems to be fascinated by high-tech warfare on one hand, and medieval fantasy on the other. Remember TA: Kingdoms?
You mean they are working on a game for the PS4 and XBox 720? Or do you still consider the current generation of consoles that have been around for years as the next (ie one after current) generation?
