Looks like C&C 3 is gonna be a pretty cool game, look at this trailer.

Gametrailers.com 56k warning :wink:

I didnt like C&C: Generals very much, this looks a lot like generals but with better effects on the explosions. I hope the gameplay is a bit better though :).

They key works in your sentence is looks... this is an EA title, so the gameplay will certainly be lacking features that an expansion pack (or two or three or four) will introduce. :(

I feel ashamed that I am so skeptical of EA games these days, but i'm sure i'm not alone. Bitten once, bitten twice, bitten three times... no more!

This franchise has hardly developed since dune II, though the original c&c had some improvements to duneII. Also c&c III will have those lousy actor video scenes back, IMHO making it utterly unplayable.

That's actually a thing i always really liked about this series. :)
I like it way better than CGI cutscenes.

Loved C&C: Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert... hated Tiberian Sun and Generals.

Here's hoping this one is as good as the first...

The cutscenes in Red Alert were brilliant :)

If i use a bit of common sence that has to mean something like "each his own taste".
Am i right? :)

Steefy, yea it means everyone has their own taste.

Translation:

"Smaken ÃƒÂ¤r som baken, delad." = "Taste is like a butt, split."

:lol: :lol:

According to PlanetCNC (also on their front page, not just their forum), the game will fully support widescreen! :D

Indeed. The cheesy cutscenes are part of what make the C&C series so much fun.

I thought they were sorely missed in Generals.

I've gone back and played Red Alert 2 a fair amount pretty recently (widescreen ftw!) and it's been awesome. It's just as fun this time as it was when I first played it.

Oldskool 2d RTS games are way more fun then the 3d versions (generals).
There is just something to it that makes it cool.

And i totally agree that the cutscenes should really be there in Generals. :(

Btw, anyone remembers Tanyas "hahahahaha" :lol:
That was so cool. 8)

I always remember the commando from the original with his:

"I got a present for ya!" as he ran towards a building with C4 in hand :)

I'm very sceptical about C&C3 because it's by EA, and they release stuff in a buggy state way too early, normally. But that recent gameplay video actually looks quite neat.

So yeah, I do hope they make a great game, but I kinda doubt they will. It'll probably have crappy netcode, no good features for competitive online play, run at dodgy framerates, and not have widescreen support... :?

Supreme Commander, now that looks real promising...
