Right, was there a reason why nobody told me there was a new C&C coming?

Wooooo, cant wait to see what Kane's up to this time!

I just watch the cutscenes on youtube when the game is out...thats the only thing good about it.

its nice to have the cutscenes back, but the game itself will just be EA butchered as we've seen with the previous installments of EA's C&C follow ups.

They're butchering the game with all sorts of things like no (or very limited) base construction, no harvesters and a requirement to be online at all times.

I have no high hopes for this, the only reason I might get it is to see the ending of the story, but EA will probably butcher that too.

Oh, and the Tiberian Twilight title is clearly a trick to get the older players back...

Seriously. What gives?
Needing your CD key for internet multiplayer IMO has been one of the strongest incentives to buy a legal copy. But this ...
I've only seen about 20 secs of the game before - and I don't like it. I'm currently playing C&C 3, and I think it's a decent game - better than C&C Tib. Sun, RA2 and RA3. Brings back a bit that old 1995 atmosphere. Too bad my old DOS version won't run anymore. Think I'll download the free Win95 version.
I really thought they were going in the right direction with C&C3. Wishful thinking.

That about covers it. No Westwood, no sale.

Isn't that the truth? When 'Tiberium Wars' came out I thought "Wait...what?", I mean, ok, we've got the Scrin now, that's been hinted on for years but...I dunno...it's just not the same.

Westwood kicked ass. I used to love the CnC games. Only played the demo for CnC 3, didn't like it. Was only a demo though *shrug* and I was a sore loser. I remember setting out to kick a lot of ass with a whole bunch of infantry. They got squished by a tank and I quit. That's all I remember.

I did play Red Alert 3 though. RA3 was a lot like softcore porn. I get excited and hang around for something cool to happen. Then when something cool does happen, it only lasts for about a minute before it gets boring again. Also, there are hot bimbos with porn-quality acting skills.

I'm not saying it was a horrible game, but compared to others I was playing at the time, it did not hold my interest. Haven't touched it since I beat one campaign and played some skirmish. I can't believe how quickly I gave up on it as I did love parts 1 and 2. RA3 was just...boring to me.

I have the same thing with C&C3. Bored out of my skull.

Good thing I only picked it up last week at a very reasonable price.

But wait, there's more:

Command & Conquer 4 Trailer All About...Harvesting Tiberium

*cough*

It's becoming more and more likely.

I'm not surprised by how much C&C has degenerated. I stopped playing C&C 3 as soon as the scrin arrived. It was kinda like the moment JarJar arrives and everything goes to hell.
I hate the whole fast paced fluid arcade gameplay crap that all RTS games seem to want to do these days.
