Google Maps-style feature for Supreme Commander

Gas Powered Games has unveiled a Google Maps-style feature for its recently released RTS Supreme Commander that will shortly be released for the game in a patch.

FiringSquad.com reports that the developer has built a map of Earth via which players can discover stats on any registered Supreme Commander player. In addition, the map can show the likes of multiplayer matches currently in progress - which it's said you can join in with by clicking on the match location - and the Supreme Commander top 10 players.

Chris Taylor's 🎃described the world map as "a way to visualize the worldwide community, really showing where these people are."

During conversation with the website at a recent THQ press event, Taylor also dropped a hint about Gas Powered's next game which is already in production.

"I can't say too much. I will just say this. I'm a guy who has four boys. I am ඣvery inspired as a father to build a game that the whole family can enjoy. Not only a game my kids can play but my 40 year old friends," he said.
