Anyone been following the (current working title) C&C: Tiberium War?

I have seen some concept art and read the first reports and it does seem a good game in the works.

Hell, I have been lucky enough to see that actual game shots (ok, so they were untextured, but still) anyone have any thoughts on what the game should and shouldn't have?

Personally, being a C&C fan (all the games including Generals), I would like to see the developers bring back the old style of click and build instead of workers and dozers.

As it will hopefully use the Generals SAGE engine but heavily modified (like RA2 was to TS, respectively) and upgraded it should look pretty awesome. Smile

I hope to hell they bring back the original CnC style... I bought Generals and I felt sad because it was more like StarCraft/WarCraft than a CnC game. Sad

If I wanted a generic RTS game I'd have bought one, dammit!

Sounds like fun! I also was unimpressed with generals, but I was lucky enough to be able to borrow a friend's copy to try it out first. It would be nice to see them bring back the original C&C style, or another FPS like Renegade. (I still play it, even after having beat it several times!)

Sadly I haven't played Renegade, and I probably won't as I like my pointless FPS more Smile

Personally I hope that it will be like Red Alert 2, which, as sad as I find that, the best C&C game thus far. I positively hated the first Red Alert and it is a monument to how good a game Red Alert 2 is that I liked it.

And don't talk to me about Generals unless you want to have your fur flamed off.

Tiberium Sun and the Firestorm expansion was the best game from the C&C line, Red Alert 2 just did not look right to me, mostly how the games play felt to me. It just was not up to par with Tiberium Sun.

I found Red Alert 2 a better game in matters of pure gaming. Story-wise I liked the Tiberium storyline MUCH better.

BTW, I saw a Tiberium War trailer recently and unfortunately I am not impressed. It's only a rendered video, no sight of actual gaming and I find the design of the tanks rather silly.

Pardon me for digging up an old thread, but being a C&C fan, I can't wait for the new release.

The Tiberium storyline games, including the Renegade, are among my favourite ones, in no small part thanks to the Brotherhood of NOD, propalby the best designed organisation in the world. The most memorable part was the ceremony led by gen. Anton Slavik after the reunification of the Brotherhood, during which Kane announced his return. It showed the immense dedication and will of NOD. And because of this, I hope that we will be given back our FMV cutscenes, a detailed plot, and of course, Joseph D. Kucan as Kane.

Regarding the design of the units, I don't really hate them. The GDI Powered Armor Infantry seems a logical step in trooper combat equipment evolution, as the spread of Tiberium across the globe generally prohibits regular infantry from operating in said environments.
The Mammoth Tank's design is controversial to me, both from an aesthetic and purely tactical point of view. The exposed threads provide the enemy with a priceless opportunity to cripple the tank, and eliminate it from combat. Though I must say, that I like the return to basics, that is twin-barreled, Tusk-equipped juggernaut of the battlefield.
Though the new Orca gun-ship is not Orca enough, missing it's side propeller engines and elegant, curved design of the former models.

That would be it.

If Kucan doesn't play Kane, they better come up with a convincing explanation, as to why Kane is not Kane.

Because that's it,

Joseph D. Kucan = Kane

Kucan IS Kane after all! *air guitar*

Seriously though, this... this... this is SUPERB. Hope Electronic Arts won't dumb it down to the lowest common denominator.

I'm not too...enthused about Tiberium War since Westwood tanked.
EA has a tendency to ruin games. With them at the helm, I'm kinda scared for the future of C&C.
