I don' play rtts, strictly franchise but rtts is a popular feature. Not my thing but if it gets people to buy the game that's all good.
The one notable thing about the interview was the magnificent graphics and accompanying slow frame rate for the ps4 which I suspect are related. When I heard a developer talk about 40,000 individual hairs on a player and other related graphic improvements like individual blades of grass I wondered if the machine had the horsepower to pull that off and still have solid animation.
It sounds like that is still a work in progress. IF - pure speculation but - if I had to choose between hair and gameplay frame rate and animations, I'd opt for less hair.
