Screenshots look pretty impressive although the scope of the field seems a lot more limited. Im sure thats adjustable though.

I still have the odd game of C&C RA2 these days, after all this time its still fantastic fun.

Are Westwood still doin this?

BlitzKrieg

no westwood have been gone for years.

Most of the original team is on the team that did the new star wars rts empire at war. Petroglyph.


I dont know how much of the original team is on this? I hear some people say none of them are.

evad_lhorg

hopefully this will come to 360 as well so I can actually play it.

eeh, a proper rts with a controller....nasty (and battle for middle earth 2 is not the same, as its alot easier to control groups of 10 men then it is to handle each individual unit)

BlitzKrieg

by the looks of the footage this will be using groups of men too.

Seriously doubt it to be honest, iv been listening to the podcasts and their really trying to keep it close to the origional, with the MCV and side bar for example aswell.

But iv absolutely no faith in EA....id be a hardcore C&C fan but if this game flops i dont really care cause supreme commander is gonna be the daddy of rts's in 2007

seriously doubt the group of men thing?

or are you talking about something else?


look at the footage, the player is moving infantry by squads not individuals. Everything else looks like classic C+C

thats also one of my complaints about it, the plotline doesnt seem to move on from tiberium sun.

I remember Sun being a huge jump from what dawn looked like. The world had come from just a few years in the future to decades with tiberium overgrowing. With only a small part of the world untouched and the rest slowly subcoming to tiberium.

and the plotline for this one seems to be identical, they make it as if this blue zone/yellow zone thing is totally new, when its identical to what tiberium sun was on about just with 'zones' ala sonic the hedgehog stuck in...

course the rumoured 3rd side will hopefully add the new plot element.

The ingame footage iv seen so far was of mammoth's and orca's but there was no UI so you couldent really tell.... do you have the link to another ingame vid ? id like to see some more

BlitzKrieg

its the link on this page? there are 3 in game movies.

edit


Also

While its bloody brilliant having Kane back they better do something different with him then repeat the *i think he's dead* NO HE's NOT *OMG HE HAS A PLAN* plotline of tiberium sun. I mean the teaser trailer for kane is almost word for word the beginning of tiberium sun.

it be sweet if the third side is cabal and kane is with them rather then anything to do with nod.

CombatCow

lol,my bad, humm yeah im not liking the idea of a group of units myself, hopefully it's just an option you can use to make a team of men, like have a team of 3 riflemen and 2 grenaders etc.....


Still i have to say i like the harvester and the refinery and the look of the tiberium.
....faith....slowly....being....restored......


Is there any word of frank klepacki doing the music again ???


CC

BlitzKrieg

no...they have their *music experts* reviewing the past c+c music and making their own to match it in spirit (hence the retro original c+c music in the kane trailer and the footage)

Louis Castle, co-founder of Westwood, is now VP of Creative Development at EA Los Angeles (EALA), so he may have brought some people with him

Here's a 14Min ingame video from the games convention earlier thisweek:

Looks pretty damn good tbh. I have no doubt the Gameplay will be up to the usual c&c standard, they havent let me down yet

BlitzKrieg

ahh so you missed generals then?

youcancallmeal

I loved generals and the add on zero hour. The only game that was bad was Renegade but that wasnt even an rts type game.

awhir

starcraft is the king of rts
