SEGA announces new RTS 'Stormrise' for 2009

SEGA has announced that a it will be releasing a new game, entitled Stormrise, for the PS3 sometime in 2009. The game promises to be a unique take on the RTS (Real Time Strategy) genre -- which usually doesn't translate well to game consoles. SEGA promises that the controls are being made "specifically for consoles," with gameplay that involves a non-detached form of controlling your units.

In Stormrise, The Creative Assembly are creating a post-apocalyptic RTS set "on a bleak and barren earth". There seems to be a lot of sci-fi race vs. race backstory in there and there's a video to check out on the official site. We'll probably see a little bit more of it at E3.
