i didnt see anything

There are some incredibly blurry pics linked throughout that thread .

I cant actually make out whats in the pictures, looks vaguelly like some sort of ship either shooting or mining something...EA are involved so it will probably be a good idea poorly employed and overly basic whatever that is :santa2:

being a huge C&C fan i can tell you that the C&C3 "Tiberian Twilight" has been a rumor for a few years now, Westwood/EA did register a few domains that owuld suggest they have thought about making a C&C3...i hope they do but if its ANYTHING like Generals..forget it.

[AC Slater]

I agree that Generals shouldn't have carrie dthe C&C name because it doesn't follow the C&C universe at all, but Generals and Zero Hour are excellent games, especially online. If EA would fix the netcode in their online games then Generals would be even better. I love the entire C&C series and a third installment would be wicked awesome. From what i read over at CnCMatrix.com is this:

Well I would normally put more effort into the news since the is a lot out there but its late and I have exams tomorrow so for now a bit more on the mysterios immage that dared to bare the name Command and Conquer III

Adam Isgreen a man, who has the privilage of being Game Design Director at the EALA Studios, posted the following:

"Yo,

Guys, Petroglyph (*the new gmaes studio that some people are calling son of Westwood) doesn't have the rights to C&C. EA owns the C&C brand. The Petro guys are doing their own stuff.

What Mark said is true. What you saw was a concept / inspirational piece of art that we did over a year ago that displays on our internal EA monitors here at EALA. Concept art is our "What if?" avenue to explore things we may or may not want to do in the future with game content, a certain look, or atmosphere / tone.

FYI, it's an image of a Scrin Primal defending against a GDI attack on a Scrin base. Obviously, the primal is winning. =)

And yes, there are still a bunch of us ex-westwood guys here."

So what does this tell us? it tells us that in all likely hood Petroglyph is probably not making C&C 3 or any other C&C for that matter. And in some strange move At any rate, EA asked Planet CNC to remove the picture. Now this is puzzling on two levels...

1: why did they ask them to do that if the pic is old and the idea isnt being done?
2: why did planet CNC comply, if EA are no longer working on the title in question?

It could be an indication that something is comming and they want to keep the hype held back until the right time. or it could be the good old EA customer service holding back stuff they dont want people to know about.

Either way the bottom line is...

EA have the rights for the next C&C game Petroglyph Studios do not. but if anything this adds more questions and enigma to the whole event. one such question is,

"If EA still have the rights to C&C then what the hell is this "Dream Project" that Petroglyph studios are working on that they announced a few months back?"

I would love to see C&C3 come out sometime soon or another Generals game or something. All other RTS games aren't as fun to me as the C&C games. Here are two of the pics. Apparently these were shown at a Lord of the Rings: Fight for Middle Earth even by EA.

If EA does make C&C3 (which they might since they are money loving ____ fill in the blank) they will most likely use the gens engine which will suck..sorry Gens is a good game in its own right but it isnt classic C&C like the original and tiberian sun...even red alert 1 and 2..if your an old school CNCer like me you know what im talkin about :p

i need my side bar!! not workers that harvest / build like Starcraft!!!!

[Cowboy X]

Hmmmmmmmm , I think that it is/was being made .

The Generals engine is good, but it could use to be a lot more efficient. I own every C&C game that has come out (including Renegade which I play all the time, and Sole Survivor which was awesome but few people seemed to like for some reason), except for the expansions Firestorm and Counterstrike. I really do like the idea of the units that build the buildings rather than building sandbags out to the point you want it then selling the bags. Only the GLA has the workers who build and collect supplies, both the USA and China have seperate units that build and seperate units that collect supplies. I also liked having the bar at the bottom of the screen rather than the side. At first it was really goofy but I eventually grew to like it and now I almost need it there. I would love to see C&C3 come out with the best of the Generals game and the best of the older C&C and Red Alert games, I just don't want to see a bunch of Alien races because that would be lame and just end of being Starcraft. They just need to stick with NOD and GDI and I'll be happy.

LOL..known with that :D

Generals IMO is a worthy succesor to the dead-played RA1 and 2. The part however that i most liked, is the music, its so much better then in any of its predecessors. Generals also tries to add more realism, in which they succeeded partially, but there is more to be done (about the firepower of the choppers, for example :mad: A hellfire really *kills* a tank)

I heard something about Westwood making a 3D version of the classic Red Alert (the best RTS game ever, TBH), which i would really like. That game just so totally OWNZ.

Those good old times :attn:

I'd have to disagree with you there Sjaak , the first Command and Conquer had the absoloute best musical score of all the others .

And the interface for playing them was excellent , allowing me to remember titles like :

" Fight ,win ,Prevail "
" On The Prowl " ( fantastic bass on that track )
" Mechanical Man " ( My favourite )

That is just from memory and I haven't played that in years on years . I'm close to remembering some of the rest too , which shows the impression they left .

AC Slater, Ren owns..you play online, if so what name you use?

TANYA was annoying as hell...always saying the same crap even when u dont summon her...

[Cowboy X]

I liked what the cyborg commando says in Tiberian Sun :

" Day vill know fear ! " actually it is they will know fear , but I was tryin to get that thhick eastern European accent thing highlighted :)

[ninthebin]

" Fight ,win ,Prevail "
" On The Prowl " ( fantastic bass on that track )
" Mechanical Man " ( My favourite )

hell march! every RTS should buy some kind of license to that and have it in no matter what their theme and setting - its simply the coolest track ever known to grace a game

:D:D:D From my winamp playlist.
Original C&C and Original Red Alert tie in my book for best music ever, in any game.

And i really hope that a C&C III follows the old style interface, rather than hte new. Actually, i hope its more like the orignals than even Red Alert 2. For some reason RA2 always felt very cartoony and toyish to me, whereas C&C and Red Alert felt dirty, grimy, and real.

A part of me really wants to go back and replay C&C and Red Alert... but i know it prolly wont be the same, and will most likely just ruin the memory of those games. Ahh, the classics.

[Cowboy X]

Ahhhh good stuff WyrmMaster .

[Drec]

damn you guys made me go and install red alert!...the win95 verison wont install on XP waht gives!! and the DOS version is so horribly old..the resolution is horrible!! oh my..

the C&C music was very good..the tiberian sun music was like egyptian techno or somthing..but it grew on you.

[Sjaak]

theres a patch for winXP, search google. Too bad it disables LAn play :( :cry:

You got point :) But i still think that the USA intro song from Generals is about best.

[AC Slater]

AC Slater, Ren owns..you play online, if so what name you use?

I usually use Lambtr0n, roost0r, roostalli0n, AWESOM-O (for some reason Gamespy changed that one to AWESOM-OMeatgrinder though :confused: ), or Polychronopolous. Those are the names that I have made for Generals and Gamespy uses them too. I mainly use the first few only though.

If EA does end up making a third installment of C&C I hope they do it justice. C&C is by far my favorite game series ever.

[radium]

I only have a choice phrase to say:

Don't f**k it up this time!

[Sjaak]

when was the last time according to you?

The only CnC game i liked less then the rest was tiberian sun...somehow that game didnt took me like RA2 or Generals did.
