Command & Conquer 3 - First Look in the PC Gamer!

[Shred0r]

Hell, yes, thats the RTS game i am waiting sooo long for. Playing NOD on the dark side ^^
If you want more world exclusive insight into this game then get the latest PC Gamer, for gods sake!
I know a games site (hint: you know tiscali, dont you?) that has some scans of this game and it looks GEORGEOUS although the scans dont judge the ingame quality...
This game is going to be a king of a remake of the original C&C with Orcas, Mamooth tank etc...and i guess they will add some new units to the original ones...

I am going to go ahead and assume that this will be the same engine Red Alert 3 is going to use. They announced a long time ago that work on RA3 was underway and it would be using a nextgen incarnation of the generals engine, and it would be very similar to the Battle for Middle Earth II engine.

"...We have a MAJOR announcement to make and we are making it exclusively to our long time C&C fans. This announcement is not going out to the press and it won't appear on the EA website or anywhere else online. We are very proud to announce that the team that brought you Command & Conquer(TM) Red Alert 2(TM), Command & Conquer(TM) Yuri's Revenge, and Command & Conquer(TM) Generals has officially started work on our next project set in the Red Alert universe!"

Seeing as both the Red Alert universe and that of the original CnC are technically one in the same(because the first Red Alert always made references to CnC) maybe what they REALLY mean to say is that CnC3(since it is technically in the RA universe) is what they started working on. OR, what REALLY happened is they STARTED working on the new engine, and just decided to put it to use with BfMEII and put CnC/RA3 on the backburner. THEN, when they got done with BfMEII they decided to make CnC3 first, and RA3 afterwards.

I think this is great news that CnC is coming back, but I REALLY.....REALLY want RA3!!!!

[fooster]

Is there any timeline for RA3?
And would this be considered a sequel to Command and Conquer Generals?

Screens anyone?

[Organic_Shadow]

There are scans but they are not allowed....

[Cera]

My dad is going to be very, very happy, heh.

[fooster]

AHH. The one time where it could make it all the better.
Do you know which magazine it is?

[pacman326]

As a huge fan of the C&C series, I am looking foward to RAIII and this latest addition to the Tiberium C&C series. I know for sure my dad will be glad, but my first experience with games was none other than the original C&C.

Looks like my computer may have some more life in it after all.

IGN has a new article about Command an Conquer...check it out!!

And it will be called: Command and Conquer: Tiberium Wars

[SpaceMonkeyDave]

Finally!
this is one of those games i have been waiting in massive anticipation for!
cmon E3! show some content, you know ya wanna!

[SolidSnakeUS]

All I can really say for this is FINALLY! I loved every single Command & Conquer game to date, especially Red Alert 2 and the expansion Yuri's Revenge. From the history of C&C, they have never been a letdown for me, I can't wait for this.

[The Butcher]

Well hope this one goes back to the old style of C&C instead of the Generals style.

[SpaceMonkeyDave]

generals wasnt TOO bad, i quite liked it, not as much as the red alerts or c&c classic but Generals could have done ALOT worse considering

Generals was bad, that is why they had to throw on the C&C in the title because nobody would even given it a second look.

[Soviet635]

Generals and Zero Hour expansion are an insult to the C&C name. Their only purpose is to spawn amazing mods, like my personal favorite Cold War Crisis.

If EA *expletive deleted* up another C&C title, ill stop buying em and play the oldies like RA1.

[pacman326]

Haha, we can go bakc to RA1 and spend 2 dollars an hour playing!

[SpaceMonkeyDave]

hey hey hey hold on i said not TOO bad, i mean that at least it wasnt as disspointing as say devil may cry 2 was or something. at least generals was still fun to play in parts..
its like wipeout fusion by far the weakest game of the series but not so bad that its just aweful to play, its not as good as the others and nowhere near as fun but i can play it and have at least SOME amusement from it

i do admit that generals is by far the weakest of the c&c trilogy but if that is the weakest c&c to be ever made then its not that bad seeing as some franchise sometimes have horrible sequels, its not as bad as sequels CAN turn out to be.. (again if anyone remembers devil may cry 2 nearly killed the dmc franchise, same with resident evil and some of its "outbreak" games they where outdated and not that nice to play.. thankfully both franchises both dmc and resi evil redemmed themselves but it was a close shave for both of em to say the least)

Look at my second post in this topic. EA throw on the C&C name to save the game but all it did was bring it to the dirt.. Another thing Generals is not part of Red Alert or C&C worlds so stop trying to put it in there.

i know that ea adopted the name last minuite, but you say it is not part of the red alert or c&c worlds..
the same could be said when red alert first came out, wether we like it or not it is offcially considered a part of the series

just because companys buy out other companys dosent stop game sequels from the previous company being made under the new comany look at the warhammer video games for example, they are all considered a trilogy yet each one is nearly made by a diffrent company

burnout went and burnout 3 and 4 was made and they are definitly considered part of the trilogy


i think you are missing my intentions though, i was too dissapointed with generals but all im saying is that it really could have been much much worse considering the current status it was in (ea buying the game out, was a cash in of sorts etc-etc)

[JustinPinter]

any screenshots for this new game???

[Soviet635]

Dangerous Dave: I think what The Butcher is trying to say is that Generals and Zero Hour are not linked to the Red Alert or Command and Conquer "Universe" like RA and C&C are. At the end of the Soviet campaign in RA you have Kane effectively ruling the Soviet Union after Stalin and that woman are dead. He says something to the effect that you(the player)will rule the Soviet Union until you are no longer useful in 1991. After '91 im assuming The BrotherHood of Nod is formed. Generals and Zero Hour have no such "link" to either the RA or C&C worlds.

*bashs head into desk* Next time say that you haven't finish all of them before talking or just go with the flow.

[Shred0r]

finally some ingame pics...but i would say that these pics dont fullfil the quality of the scans that have been already seen...

maybe the pics are of this game being run @ only middle details or someting like that (AA off etc.)







http://media.pc.ign.com/media/823/82...g_3577743.html

The last one looks impressive, especially the great water physics...cant wait to see it in motion....BUT i want finally to get my eyes on some bada$$ NOD units

[keshin]

Nice pics. I just hope this somehow finds its way to the PS3. I dont want to upgrade my PC again, its too exspensive.

[Gatsu88]

Oooooooh my god! C & C 3 , I can't wait to get my hands on that. I hope Kane will be back, 'cause he survived in Tiberian Sun: Firestorm . Omg nice images Shred0r, NOD ftw ^_________^!

Imho GDI vs NOD games are better than Red Alerts.
