EA has said no Scrin though, but the Mutants are back apparently.

TBH, I think Tiberium Wars jibed better with the feeling I had left over from Tiberian Dawn.  Of course I didn't like Tiberian Sun much at all, it was, compared to the first one, a really rather poorly made game with a horribly disjointed narrative and bad game play, it may have been better in multi, but back then I didn't multi and could barely keep my head wrapped around the story.  I only played it the one time and I don't really remember what happened other than a supposed impaling of Kane.

You just randomly introduce a potentional species-destroying threat and then forget about it?

[General Battuta]

The Scrin were the best thing to happen to the mythos. I am annoyed.

[Stormkeeper]

Actually they just aren't revealing them yet.

IIRC, they said there would be 3 sides, but for now it's just GDI vs Nod.

Couldn't agree more. Although, I'm pretty annoyed with C&C4 period.

Why are they introducing a third side? RA3's Empire of the Rising Sun was bad enough. Why do that for C&C, too?

The Scrin were a pretty cool thing in C&C 3. They were unconventional (with the nasty razor sharp flying $h!t$ that cut down infantry like a lawnmower cuts grass or a bunch of other stuff). The way they killed off a few cities in Europe, and the way you had to regain control beginning with pockets of resistance in a wrecked and burning former city (pretty much like a futuristic Stalingrad) was a departure from conventional strategies and was also a lot of fun.

Also- I didn't play RA 3, so I don't know how much they messed everything up.

You don't have to have played it to know. All you have to do is watch the long trailer/intro.

No names could have done a better job.

Overall, RA3 was too overly-obvious as a 'for teh lulz' kind of game. Cartoony and all... RA1 and RA2 were kinda more serious, compared to RA3.

And personally, I didn't like EA's Scrin. Westwood's Scrin concepts were better, IMO.

[CP5670]

RA2 was not serious at all. RA1 was more so, although not at the level of C&C1.

RA3's real problems were with its gameplay, as I described here some time ago. It was inferior to C&C3 in numerous ways and felt like a game that had come before C&C3, not after it.

RA2 was still more serious than RA3 And more fun than RA3.

Best Tanya ever. I love her so much i'm in physical pain.

Take a week off.  

[Stormkeeper]

I'm still looking forward to it though. I feel obligated to finish the series. Plus I really wanna know wtf is up with Kane's immortality.

[Narvi]

Tch, I hope they don't bother to explain it.

Any explanation would be a letdown at this point.

[mxlm]

Glanced through the thread. Did no one post this/url]? Given all the anxiety expressed here, I'd expect some about that, as well. Unless it has since changed?

pretty sure its been posted somewhere else in a WTF thread

And yeah, its BS that it needs web connection to be played, damn anti-piracy things.

Ironically, a little comment about Steam working the same way was quickly and speedily marked down as spam.

With Steam at least you can choose to operate in "offline" mode.
