Requires the developer to put effort into revamping the UI to work with controller. Age of Empire 2 worked really well on controller.

People mentioned kb+m here, but it plays surprisingly well on a controller too. Radial menus, etc.

Playstation had mkb support since PS3

Fuck knows, fam. Never tried with a controller.

Curious to see how an RTS like Age of Empires II plays on a DualSense (any controller, really). Partly because my first RTS experiences were Command & Conquer and StarCraft 64 on the Nintendo 64. This console was a weird gateway to several PC games that I would play in their original forms later.
Not an optimal way to play those games at all, but they did work.

The game you can play on your mom's laptop finally comes to PlayStation? I played this game since Zone and you won't be able to play this with trackpad. 0 chance. Requires swift and precise responses. How do you even select a tiny little monk and target the tiny little high cost enemy unit with trackpad?

Never played AoE on consoles, but I have played both halo wars 1&2 on Xbox with controller and it was awesome. It all depends how controller mapping is done. But playing RTS with gamepad instead of kb+m is possible and can be very good experience.

I hope it has a physical version. Day 2 if so

Is it still possible to use cheats to spawn a Dodge Viper with a machinegun? Or was that in Age of Empires 1?
No Dodge Viper with machine gun = no buy
Edit: What, after some googling I realize it was a Cobra all along. I blame resolution and childhood memories or something

Halo wars are RTS games designed around controllers/consoles though, so they are significantly simplified in comparison to other RTS games.

PlayStation 2 had mouse and keyboard support, too.

PS has had mouse support since the first PlayStation and mouse & keyboard support support since the PS2.
There's an entire library of strategy, point-and-click adventure, simulation etc, games on consoles that have official developer support, for decades.

Pretty sure it's considered to have one of, if not the best controller implementations for a strategy game

Shouldn't be much different to the Two Point games which work incredibly well on a controller.

But what games support mkb on playstation? Only ever played UT3 on PS3, don't know of any PS4/5 games with mkb support.

Personally, I know of UT3 on PS3 and FFXIV from PS3 up to now.
Don't Predecessor and Throne and Liberty support kbm?
There are more this gen, at least. Hunt Showdown as well, maybe? Not at home, so can't check rn.
Probably some other games, but it was up to the devs.
The option was there though, even back on PS2 apparently.

I know Red Alert 3 didn't have mkb support fore some reason. I guess the devs where really proud of their control scheme, which admittedly was pretty good. Still a strange omission, really wish there would be mkb supported RTS games on console, it's the one PC exclusive genre I'm really into.

Idc for RTS, personally, but I would love to be able to play Warhammer Total War on Playstation.
Was a massive tabletop Warhammer Fantasy nerd when I was a teen.
More support for mkb on consoles would always be good anyway, imo.

Yeah me too! My PC would blow up trying to play Total Warhammer III, a PS5 port would be very welcome indeed.

Love age of empires. Used to play it on Mac a lot about 10+ years ago. I'll buy this on PS5 when it's available.

Gonna be honest for me nothing beats mk but I play all the time age of empires on series x with gamepad and is still works amazing for me.
In fact age of empires, halo wars, company of heroes 3 and even old command and conquer games it works wonders...I guess it depends how good is the optimization....
