Time for PS3 to MOVE in on RTS territory

I have enjoyed the Total war series from the PC for some time now, picking up all the titles from Shogun to medieval 2 Total war. Considering the ps3 can use a mouse I have hoped (without hope) that future RTS ports would come with mouse controls. However I realise this is unlikely to happen as only UT3, to my knowledge, ever utilised mouse compatibility.

However with the new Move controller on the horizon ports of Pc RTS's could be a real possibility. Titles like Shogun and Medieval Total War would be small enough to be PSN titles while newer instalments such as Empire Total War could be full blu-ray releases.

RTS on consoles have always had a hard time when compared to their PC counter parts, either being light on substance or suffering from wonky controls. Although unimpressed with the initial Move RTS tank demo, after see the precision of the crosshair / cursor control in SOCOM 4, I look forward to some real RTS games coming to the PS3 using the Move controller.

Your thoughts? What other games would you like to see?

2 solutions to your mouse addiction problems, theres the frag fx2, which works well for those who like mouse and joysticks, the other thing id like to point out is you can use a mouse and keyboard with games, look for an online tutorial, people have been using them for ps3 games since resistance fall of man

i think the newer one's would have too be scaled back in graphics terms quite a bit especially the new napolean it's quite the best of a game and takes a good standard of hardware too run with a lot of ai on screen at the same time that would be the biggest challenge for that i think.
