Will Lionhead ever create another RTS-like game (i.e. Populous, B&W)? I'm not very at RTS games, because I am a "creative" player.

I enjoy setting up my base and generating units. The part I don't like is when the 10-year old zergling come into my base and everything goes to hell. "Hey! I just put that there!"

I know why this is happening -- I'm not aggressive enough of a player and I linger around too much early on. However, that's the part I really enjoy.

Peter's games have always aloud the player to be creative. You know what my favorite part of Populous was? The raising and lowering of land. You could change the landscape to help your people. I've heard Peter's explanation of why raising and lower land was put into the game. He said that -- paraphrasing here -- he wasn't smart enough to make the AI do it itself. Almost two decades later and that's the part I remember about Populous. I loved that game!

What's my point? I guess I'm just "writing" out loud at this point. I like RTS game for the creative portion and I think Peter and his team at Lionhead are the people to bring us creative kind of RTS-like gameplay on the console with Natal.

And heck! The player controls everything organically with nothing but hand movements and finger movements. Heck sign language.

-- Ooh quick thought -- Natal and Xbox 360 can be a sign language interpreter. At least a minimal one.

XBox 360 and Natal could be used to make a "headless" game too. Bring the game outside of the box -- like a live-action RTS.

Gotta go!

My friend and I have been talking about how a black and white game would be great on natal. I don't know how well it would work but it seems like it would be a perfect fit. I also was thinking they might put the movies on natal. It seems like you could have more control over your actors if they could follow your movements. What do you think?

I hope so. Me and heroicalarm have spent hours talking about how cool it would be too see B&W on natal. But since im not sure if Lionhead can make a new or port B&W because of EA. I wouldnt mind seeing a Albion version of B&W minus the creature creator.

It would be pretty awesome.

I want them to make Dungeon Keeper 3 (though it'll probably never happen... )

I agree though, Lionhead should make another RTS game. An original one, like back in the days

---

A Fable based RTS would be interesting to see in the future, to say the least

I personally am not a huge RTS fan, but to each his own

the hand of god. is your hand. pick up people with your hand trough natal.
