        The unit-workshop-esque way of upgrading and promoting units so they are good vs various different opponents seems pretty w00tly too.

            I wonder about the kind of rock-paper-scissors strengths of units they hinted at in the interview... A very RTS thing to do. Seems like it could go either way - be cool, or totally suck. I'm excited to see how it pans out though.

              Im not a console user, but I do have to admit that the graphics power on the XBox360 and PS3 are above PC's abilities. However, by the time those two consoles are released, the PC will have a more powerful gfx card - which I will happily get, and boast over the pathetic console users.

              oh and.. what IS nVidia's plan for the future? What is their next amazing card? is the SLI really worth it? I am looking at the GeForce6800 Ultra, but I'd rather wait for a card that is more powerful than what I see on the two console machines.

                A GPU based on the design of the R500 in the Xbox 360 is due out in a couple years on the PC, and will likely cost $600 for the card alone.

                Nvidia's coming out with the G70 sometime later this year, quite a bit faster than the 6800. That's what's in the PS3, more or less.

                Though you can usually get ~50% more performance out of consoles since there's no abstraction layers like the PC.

                    a COUPLE OF YEARS?

                    Oh come on, I am using a PC for crying out loud, not some console. The PC is supposed to be the all powerful one, not some measily gaming box!!!

                      Found this info on the G70:

                          I like that we'll finally be able to have units bonused for Jungle and Desert terrain.

                            Yes, but that's not the design of the chip in the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 uses the fabled "R500" (don't let the number fool you). It's basically a fundamentally new design. For games designed for it, it'll have much, much more efficient performance than the R520/G70. The downside is games designed for the old architecture styles (R520/G70) would run quite a bit slower on the R500.

                            So it'll come in a couple years on the PC front still. It's there today (well, November) in the console world.

                            There are no "vertex" or "pixel" shaders on the R500. There are 48 tiny processors that can do either. It's more powerful, and more flexible.

                              Glad I dodged that bullet.
