Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
Just read that.  Looks like C&C4 is taking stuff from Demigod and RA3, and possibly Supreme Commander and DoW2.  Chances are it will be a C&C game only in name.

I'm still dubious about the gameplay, but the story looks fantastic.

Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
As for mods, C&C3 never saw the wide range of mods that RA and TS had. That engine is apparently much less mod-friendly than the old ones were.


EA should really learn already that modding is GREAT for a game.

The walker concept is a bit.....weird, but I can live with it. I can't say the same thing for the player progression though. I don't like not being able to use all my units in Skirmish without playing for 2 years straight.

Lets hope it doesn't take that long otherwise that would be a bit off.

The player vs. Kane thing in C&C is starting to become like Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. You're just not gonna kill him. Best just to give up.

Kane wouldn't help GDI unless he had some plan to kill/obliterate/cripple them, that's his style. Kane is only helping them because he needs them, but once he doesn't, they're gone. Kane may be crazy, but he isn't stupid.

Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
I think its a bit soon. After C&C3, I mean. I'm a big fan, but I'm kinda wary about this. On the flip side, I knew they had a C&C game in production ever since I got my RA3. Which means I'll probably be in the beta again.

The screens make it look like a tiberian RA3 IMO.

The game designer should be hung from the highest tree. And so unit designer too.

WTF is it with the epic levels of fugly?

Are you nuts? Those are awesome pics! Woo! I'm so pumped for C&C4! Look at that WC3 like fireball projectile! Look at those cute battle walkers! It's gonna be an awesome game, I just know it! The multiplayer beta will make the 90 bucks I spent on Kane's Wrath sooooooooooo worth while!

Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
The linked forum posts suggests that there will not be a full scale bass as we've seen in ALL the previous Tiberium games.  This saddens me as part of my enjoyment of the game is building sprawling, nigh-inpregnable bases that the AI can throw whole armies against and lose everything while I sneak a small, heavily arms strike force around to the power or retaliate with an overwhelming force of massive firepower.

C&C will truly be dead for me along with Kane at the end of this as I do not enjoy this whole simplification of the game for multiplay bull****.  Weak defenses and over powered units that out range them do not force the players to focus on strategic level thinking, only the inevitable rush of whatever the killer unit is with no way to stop or slow it.

This is pretty obviously not a C&C game at all. It's an RTT game with the C&C name.

 
Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
Wow.  I wasn't going to play this before due to the DRM scheme and needing to level up in order to use certain units.  But now, after reading about its gameplay, its turning into a WiC/CoH/DoW2 clone, which is NOT what I want in an RTS.  I want epic base building and strategy in an RTS, not micromanagement of every unit.  And even worse, it looks like the Supreme Commander franchise has caught the tactics bug for its next iteration.  What happened to epic strategy in a RTS?

it died about the same time as space sims umm.... :rolleyes:...well, SupCom seems like the last one, so about then...
... i blame the failure to realise it does not need crysis-spec machine, an average g-card, likely lower, 2GB of ram, and dual core is all one needs, seems pretty standard

Honest to ****ing God! Who thinks this **** up!? Basically they are ripping out everything that makes C&C game a C&C game and dumping it!  :mad:
