Supreme Commander 2 Gets A Spring 2010 Release Date
There have been a lot of recent releases in the FPS and RPG genres, but one category of games that's been sadly underrepresented in recent memory would be that strategy staple known as RTSes. However, aside from Starcraft 2, strategy aficionados now have something else to look forward to as the sequel to Gas Powered Games' Supreme Commander gets an official release date of spring 2010 from its publisher, Square Enix.
Supreme Commander 2 takes place twenty five years after the original game and will continue the story through an extensive single-player campaign as well as its compelling multiplayer modes. This is also the first time Square Enix is publishing a Western title within the Western market, as a result of its partnership with Gas Powered Games.
Personally I'm quite excited: both Supreme Commander and its expansion, Forged Alliance, have places of joy inside my heart, and I've played the game's multiplayer maps to death on top of that. The game will be released on both PC and the Xbox 360 at the same time. This should be considered an improvement towards console fans as the first title's port lagged behind the PC release by several months.
Update: After saying this, Square Enix went ahead and issued a press release dating the PC version as March 2, with the Xbox 360 version coming out on March 16.

At the same time I wonder what strategic depth from the origional and TA will be lost by porting it to the 360. I know that structure adjacency bonuses have been removed from the game. What else was lost in the shuffle?
