It will be nice to see a new coh game on the PSP system, it will fit with the PSP I think.
It is possible to make games like coh on the psp, look at Field commander, with multiplayer and sp campaigns.
What do you guys think?

hmm it will be possible but i think it will be actualy squad based not full rts i would like to see it though
Field Commander is a Turn Based Strategy game... compared to COH as a Real Time Strategy game.
Home consoles have tried to do RTSes before (C&C, Starcraft, Dune, etc) and most have been pretty hard to play with the control setup. Don't expect it.
A RTS on the DS though... I would play that.
hmm you say that but i think it would definatly work as a squad
based fps game
Squad based FPS? Well that's entirely different. There are a lot of shooters on the PSP. Whether or not Relic's COH engine would translate well to the platform is another matter entirely.
yea thats true it will only work on rts if they brough a pen for the psp tough screen
It will be nice though.
i think Relic should mainly focus on the PC. not going out to program CoH for all platforms. IMO games who are programmed for multiple platforms (psp, pc, ps3, xbox 360, wii) seem to be of lower quality then games designed for 1 platform. i rather have 1 good CoH on a pc then 1 crappy CoH on multiple platforms.
Gamers don't die, they go to the next level
I recall Relic said in a press release that they WERE considering the idea of bringing either/or CoH or DoW to a console, pending the reception Battle for Middle Earth II received making its 360 debut. However, Mark of Chaos (with its upcomming expansion) will be comming to the 360. Having played all the above games, I can definitely say that battalion-based RTSes (like BFME and MoF) are somewhat better-suited to consoles than DoW or CoH would be. I simply cannot imagine being able to issue commands and orders in either of those games with a gamepad; it takes plenty of effort to achieve with a mouse at times!
IMO rts games belong to the PC. the PC is king of RTS. why? simply because it's easier to control your units. but can't you use a keyboard + mouse on a Xbox 360?I can definitely say that battalion-based RTSes (like BFME and MoF) are somewhat better-suited to consoles than DoW or CoH would be.

PC is king for most genres which started there.
You know I actually have not tried? Might be something to tinker with if I get bored enough...
You cannot use a mouse and keyboard on a non-hacked 360.
ok, srry. don't own a 360. though, it's kind of dumb that you can't do thatYou cannot use a mouse and keyboard on a non-hacked 360.
There already is a CoH for cell phone, one of my friends has it. It's more like advance wars (turn based) and in my opinion is terrible.
Advance Wars is a good game, but sadly with it being turned based means its not really an RTS.
Saying that the only games that rightly belong on a console are platformers and racing games. The rest find their homes on the PC. Keyboard and Mouse FTW!!!1
beat 'em up games are much better on consoles aswell. there are practically no beat 'em up games on the pc (unless you use an emulator, which is probably illegal)Saying that the only games that rightly belong on a console are platformers and racing games.

Well, they can try it.
I'd rather see development concentrated on fields in which a given system shines, rather than just sloppy, forced cross-platforming. I think this would allow for deeper exploration of a given franchise without selling the content short.
Warhammer 40k: Squad Command was a great idea, in theory, and honestly the core gameplay isn't all that bad. Though as much as it is an example of a good idea, its also an example of poor execution, like the cellphone (why oh why?!) iteration of CoH.
There are lots of gaming platforms to choose from, all have different strengths and weaknesses, it just falls to the developers to make these games actually worthwhile rather than just being either a sloppy cross-platform port or a lackluster excuse to feature a given franchise on another system.
the mobile has crappy graphics and all, psp, ps2 has nice ones.
Well, do this... hook up a gamepad and rig it so that it acts as a mouse/primary keyboard commands and try to play CoH like that and see what you think of it.
Personally, I enjoy turn-based tactics-style games, so seeing something like that made in the image of CoH for PSP would be a good thing, rather than a compromise to me.
What is exactly a turn based?
a console trying to do an rts that hasn't been dumbed down for it is just embarrassing, and highlights why I hate consoles as platforms in general.
...No
a CoH game would be possible on psp, and it would be great fun, and theres a GREAT warhammer 40k psp strategy game out right now...and its damn fun. haha
I think he was talking about a close approximation to the PC version (ie - an RTS).
Eatbanana - Turn-based is just that. It's when a game works on individual turns rather than having the action move continuously. You perform actions, move units, whatever, and when you run out of things to do it becomes your opponents turn and back and forth as such until someone dies.

The DS would be a great platform for such things, actually, but I don't think it trumps the PC in the field. Honestly, I was more interested in the DS version of 40k Squad Command until I saw how horrible the graphics looked. Playstation 1 quality 3D graphics are just plain ugly, especially on such a small screen.

Well what do you expect? The DS is less powerful than a PSP.
I'm thinking about the touch screen though, which would fix any misgivings about console game controls in RTSes.
I know it is, which goes back to the argument of "using a given console for what its good at" ... I really do not see why they even bother with 3D on the DS, I have no quams playing "old school" 2D games but ugly is ugly, yanno?
And as far as controls go, DS is pretty much an exception rather than a norm. :P
I'm not disagreeing with you though.
dudes ps3 now has mouse and keyboard support ut3 has it on ps3 so if COH did come to console it would have to be theps3 with keyboard support and that's Sony's plan to have the ps3 the gaming pc heck the ps3 now comes with monitor support
I'm sure Microsoft could implement PC peripheral support on the 360 without much problem.
away with x360, come with ps3
imagine a mixture of a strategy game and a RPG game. that's pretty much turned base. you can move your units (depending which unit) for X lenght. after that, you have to end the turn and the other player can decide what he does and moves his units. and so on and on. much like a (can't remember the name so the kind of games like monopoly, stratego etc.).What is exactly a turn based?
away with both! stay with pcaway with x360, come with ps3
I would love a good turn-based WW2 strategy on any platform.
Meanwhile, Civilization series is coming over to DS, so I guess I'll stick with that for a while.
BTW, if you hook a mouse and a keyboard to a console and play FPS/RTS on it, I think it is a bit pointless.
PC rules!
Ok strangly enough, I cant quote posts. thanks for explaining what turn based is :P
nah ps3 is better then x360.
