How inspired.

Luckily, the art style isn't even worse than C&C 3's.

The art style might in that case be excused based on unity number and distance though.

 

[Manic Inc.]

There's an 8-page feature of this game in the latest GamesTM. I haven't read it yet but the dozen or so screenshots they have look kinda crappy. I guess it's an early build.

 

[kbear]

Looks pretty hot to me... seems to be heavily-focused on squad mechanics which is always good.

 

[The Stealth Fox]

I'm not buying it if there's no online C&C mode in this.

The only thing that ruined Renegade online was the shitty netcode.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Buy this game or else.

Classic movies vilain right there

as for the game.... meh, need more for hype

 

[CamHostage]

So they send out an official PR that has official www address inside (www.tiberium.com) while that site is still dead.

Classy EA.

Doesn't bode well for the game.

Actually, I can't think of a press release in years that has had a working URL in it. Even when they link back to just the publisher's official site, it's usually linked by text that goes, "For more information on this title, please see www.publisherwhoever.com", and when you go to that website, there's not even a posting of the press release much less a page with more information about the game. This, I have not understood for so very long, and it happens every time.

 

[papelnabangka]

DO NOT WANT. Cursed shooters.

 

[Hellsing321]

EA did you not learn anything from Renegade?

When has EA ever learned anything from anything?

 

[Jenga]

Because PC is clearly leading the way in FPS sales these days?

Exactly.

 

[Mrbob]

I read the preview in GI, and while the game sounds cool, so did MOH: Airborne when GI first blew the lid off the game years ago.

 

[FFChris]

Exactly.

Perfectly fine to have big, blocky units in a zoomed out RTS, but not really great up close.

 

[BeEatNU]

wtf is this shyt!

 

[Borys]

The site is up folks:

[pilgrim]

oops

Gametrailers has some gameplay footage of the game on their new GTTV show:

They announced a mode like this and yes, this would make me buy too

 

[dejan]

Seeing that footage it's hard to believe they are using the CryEngine 2.

 

[ram]

Seeing that footage it's hard to believe they are using the CryEngine 2.

eh? its an UT3-Engine game

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Reminds of Planetside.

 

[Insane Metal]

Isn´t this game using CryEngine 2?

 

[WrikaWrek]

Just use the nanosuits from Crysis.

Now those are some badass suits.

No engine has been revealed.

 

[Funky Papa]

Wow, that is way more than just slightly dated. I don't know about the engine, but the "lighting" is particulary embarrassing, it looks like a BF2 total conversion. And with some seriously bad art to top it.

[Dai Kaiju]

Um...I think it looks fine?

 

[VibratingDonkey]

I brown that brown browns very brown. Gray.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Damn...the game couldn't look more silver and grey, if you held up the collective pockets of all the change carrying individuals in america, took their nickels and dimes, melted them, and poured them on the disc. "/

Aside from the color scheme, I like the gun. The fact that it transforms like an autobot, invokes some child like need to smile and glee like I was looking at a new toy. Also, the fact that you can call in troops, and jump like the crysis guy makes this look fun.

So that is how CryEngine 2 will look on 360/PS3. Not horrible, now give me Crysis!

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Anyone notice in that GT show when dropship drops a mech, he runs for 10 meters like a cartoon character, a happy bunny sort of thing, and then animation switches and he slowly stomps like a wounded giant.

Hilarious!

 

[fizzelopeguss]

As much as i love the tiberium universe (and games), i don't think EA has it in them to make a better game than quake wars.

 

[WrikaWrek]

This game has no style. It looks like such a mundane effort.

I don't understand, doesn't the Director look at the art designs and thinks "This is a lame armor, these soldiers look lame, this environment looks empty and has no style" etc?

Well, the gun looks cool, and the game seems to run well.

 

[geoffmk]

Guys -- Game is on Unreal Engine 3. The developers mentioned that to me during the interview but we had to cut it out for time.

Dind't knew Geoff posted on GAF


Thanks for clearing that up. Certainly didn't look like CryEngine 2.0 to me.

 

[dmshaposv]

We need more devs using cryengine 2

 

[WrikaWrek]

Cool show btw, and marketplace integration is awesome.

I thought the guns had the worst style. vehicles I could live with.

 

[SRG01]

I think it looks fine to me.

 

[Reilly]

Buy this game or else.

I was just going to post that.

 

[Concept17]

Anyone else catch the vid on GT?

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/30011.html

Looks very promising.

 

[TemplaerDude]

god i hope this doesn't blow absolute chunks like renegade did.

what a shitty game.

I thought Renegade's multiplayer was pretty good.

Tiberium looks quite decent too but the graphics in that video were a little too grey/brown for my liking. Hopefully the squad tactics part of the game is quite deep.

the multiplayer was decent at best, which wasn't enough to save the game from it's numerous other generic faults.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Uh, I actually sort of dig what I've seen so far. Wow, that was surprising.

 

[TemplaerDude]

yea it looks pretty intense so far. the gun looks like it was ripped right from republic commando though, size and different firing modes and all.

 

[Haunted]

Renegade was cool because it managed (at least in some of the SP missions, but largely in the MP) to put you into the fight that you previously only saw from a birds-view top-down perspective. I enjoyed blowing up RTS buildings from the inside. Then again, I was a pretty huge C&C nut back then, so I'm probably biased.


This on the other hand... looks pretty average and generic so far. Republic Commando and BF 2142 were the first games that came to mind.
