Command and Conquer 3

[Valzara]

Hi all,

I found this released picture so call Command & Conquer 3 (tiberian Twilight?) released picture. It looks like the war between human and Alien (The Alien ship crushed in Tiberian Sun ??). Anyway, just take a look :

Picture 1
Picture 2
Picture 3

Seriosly I'm not sure if these gonna to be true, but it looks cool.

And here is the link for the main page :CNC planet

yeah there was leaked screens of a Board room presentation for 'C&C 3' a while ago caused all sorts of rumours and Hype

i heard just a little while ago that it was now officialy announced!!

and you can see more stuff related to C&C-3 on this concept artists website

http://www.tasmediafile.com/main.htm

though this stuff is very old (dated 2002) so be carefull with it

(btw the Aliens are called the Scrin)

----------

Though this is Primarily a good thing for C&C fans my Confidence in EA's ability is less than Enthusiastic (did i mention that i hate their guts!??) they've butchered C&C (and a host of other franchises) enough already

just look at Red Alert 2;

• Zero relevance to the old storyline (where is GDI and the brotherhood of NoD!??)
• Completely messed up timeline (the first Tiberium War should have already begun)
• Complete change of style (for the worst), whats with that stupid Cartoony glaze!??, why do the cutscenes feel like a cheap american sitcom!?? whats with all that Yuri BS!?? i mean it has flying saucers in it for christs sakes!!!

i'm a big fan of the Tiberium Series and i want to see it united with Red Alert (which was supposed to be Renegade-2's job but EA cancelled it), i want the appearance of Tiberium and the Scrin to be explained (i feel it has something todo with Einsteins Chronosphere in RA1)

but i have a big feeling i will be sorely disapointed

[Valzara]

then you should play the zero hour mod : CNC the first tiberian war total conversion.

[Mighty_Matt]

its not out yet is it!??

plus i'm waiting for the TiberianSun: Rising mod, i'm a bigger fan of TS than TD

[LOK kain is the greatest]

What zero for C&C Genrals. yeah it's out. is fun....

[Valzara]

Yes it's still under development, go to www.planetcnc.com for recent news.

I meant the mod

and it may be 'fun' (though i consider it shallow and boring) but it shouldn't carry the C&C logo, don't get me started on that

and Valzara i usualy use CnC-Source for my C&C news, its a very good site

somehow i get the idea you didn't like genrals lol

[garbagefanuk]

Generals blew, it was absolutly nothing to do with the C&C universe beyond the name.

I love the C&C universe and have done since the original Command & Conquer came out but Matt is right. EA killed the series and the timelines, although Renegade was actually really good (says the guy who plays it everyday online for like 3-4 hours because it follows the universe properly) its still a crime what they've done to the series.

This twilight by those screens looks like its gonna dive even farther from the original universe... fighting aliens? wtf? come on, this is C&C, you're fighting to crush the GDI or destroy the Brotherhood of NOD, why the hell would i want to fight aliens? If i'm in the mood to kill aliens i'll play Alien vs Predator...

Gah, i should just send a bomb to EA now and save the fans the bother of storming the gates.

[Valzara]

Haha, I think I had post the same thing long time before in this same forum : Generals break my heart, and ruin all my expectation on future CNC game.

Yay someone agrees with me, sometimes i think i'm the only one

The Aliens (the Scrin) Are part of the Story but i don't think its at all time to bring them into it, let alone fighting them directly! THAT WOULD SUCK!

in the cutscene when the Ship is originaly found they say they detonated a large amount of C4 in it without making a scratch so i'd like to see how EA propose to have GDI fight them

I'm more angry over the fact they're trying to Keep CABAL in (NoDs renegade AI from Firestorm), he was defeated in Firestorm!!, it was a pretty cool spin-off storyline for the add-on pack BUT I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY MORE OF HIM THANK YOU VERY MUCH

the only reason they're keeping him in is because the 12yr olds think hes 'cool', you just know its gona turn into some cheesy 3 vs 3 affair like Generals

[Valzara]

Just my imagination,(if that's gonna be CNC3):

the so called CNC3 can be : GDI, Scrin, and NOD ? And the Scrin's technology is overwhelme both NOD and GDI, and finally will be the combination of all human force again outcomers (Independence Day !?) ... ...ergh, how come it sounds like firestorm... ...

Perhaps, the we can develop the Scrin's technology through gameplay and finally has the equal power with them ??

I know the Scrin are a part of the storyline as one can assume Tiberium and the Tacitus is their doing but it just seems too far from what C&C was supposed to be about. They been in it since Tiberian Dawn but they haven't influenced the story in anyway.

I do disagree with u about Cabal i actually thought he was cool and since he survived the attack it should be interesting to see what he's been up too since no-one but Kane could control him. Probably made a few more toys

[LOK kain is the greatest]

I hate genrals for the lack of connection to C&C (what ever happened to C&C like red Alert 1 and 2....*mwahahahah you shall pay for that* loves those taunt bottons) but i actually enjoyed the game in itself. if you try to block out all referance to C&C it is quite a fun game...

(okay you can blast me into obliviaon with the ion cannon now )


Luv KITG

/Me blasts LoK Kain is the Greatest into oblivion with the ion cannon

it is kinda fun, but more in a 'Stoned teenagers looking at Shiny things' kinda way, theres no actual strategy in it

it hands resources to you on a silver platter (one dock is easily enough to set up an infinite suppy system!!) which just leads to player Spamming their favourite units and launching them at the enemy base in a fury of explosions and lag (what kind of idiot makes a game with that kind of system drain and then goes and allows players to build 300+ units so easily!?!??), sometimes players actualy bother to take the enemies power down first but thats about the extent of its strategy

[DMraider]

I just hope tha 3 armies will be cool. Reason I buy the game is for online play. Of course I love a good story. I hope the aliens dont turn out to be like Yuri was in Yuris revenge. All sides must have some standard tank.

Look here: http://www.cncden.com/cnc3_news.shtml

"September 3, 2004 - GAMEBIZ, an Australian Game News website, has received word from a source within Electronic Arts Studios that they are working on a new Command & Conquer title to be named Command & Conquer Tiberian Twilight. Not much there we didn't already know, but it is news nonetheless. Check the full news post HERE. "

btw I got the feeling its gonna be a pretty good game.

[Valzara]

It sould be a good game as long as it bring back the 'style' and 'feeling' of origina'+traditional CNC game.

[LOK kain is the greatest]

*COUGH* slightly toasted from the ion cannon

So anyone know what the new one is actually about and when it set??

[Valzara]

Noone will now anything about this game untill EA anounce it...sad.

[garbagefanuk]

We can make a few guesses about it simply from concept work and such.

It would have to be set after Tiberian Sun for simple timeline accuracy. Not too far in the future to make it stupid.

One would assume the Scrin have invaded to find out why there Tiberian has been stopped by the Tacitus (If they even stopped it) and are trying to take over the Earth.

[Valzara]

Or the Scrin found out the tiberian is very useful for them and wanna take it over from humans' hand?

Ergh...is that any other story can cause the conflict between human and alien rather than the alien wants to take over the earth ?

[Mighty_Matt]

well this is just my theory but;

I beleive it was the scrin who sent Tiberium to earth, to begin terraformation in preperation for their invasion of earth

if you look closely in the scenes inside the spacecraft you can see that their technology is all based on Tiberium

i think Kane has a link to the scrin too since the 'Brotherhood of NOD' and the name 'Kane' itself date back to Biblical times, the word NOD meaning 'to wander' and Kane being one of the brothers of adam in genesis who was exiled to 'NOD' (forever wander) by God

and i think the Scrin links into this because the whole atmosphere of the scrin just seems to have a biblical and ancient-mythology feel to me, sort of like in Stargate

i doubt EA will actualy pick up on any of this stuff though
