Playing RTS with a controller? Total War: Warhammer 40,000 dev says it 'really does work' in their game: 'I think we've landed in a really solid spot'
The kids who grew up playing StarCraft on Nintendo 64 must have thumbs of steel.
AI Summary
Total War developer Creative Assembly is preparing to launch Total War: Warhammer 40,000 on consoles, a move that challenges the long‑standing belief that real‑time strategy games cannot be played effectively with a controller. Dave Petry, the studio’s battle product owner, told TechRadar at Gamescom that the myth of controller incompatibility is false and that the team has created a system that “really does work.” He added that the studio has “landed something that really does work,” suggesting confidence in the console experience. The announcement follows a history where RTS titles have largely remained a mouse‑and‑keyboard domain, with only a few console‑specific games such as Herzog Zwei and Halo Wars.
