Generals II speculation/discussion

Rich19's Photo Rich19 09 Jul 2009

Am I the only one that finds the attitude of all the C&C media towards Kane really, really annoying? They keep on bullshitting with stuff like "Kane lives!" as if the man is a bloody religion. I don't give a toss that they have the same actor to do FMV sequences, I want to find out more about the damn game, and it would be better if I could do that without having role play crap rammed down my throat. It's a ridiculous character for a villain anyway - I'd much rather something more plausible like a general of a world superpower or renegade military group, rather than a bunch of religious terrorists who somehow have the power to take on the entire world's armies in open warfare.

Strange, that was but wasn't on Gamespot for a quite a while this morning.

Obviously good that there is no DRM to deal with.

Is that a Mammoth MkII ripoff in the first picture? (Not the really big thing, but the two walkers to the sides.)

And I guess GDI's getting it's own airborne cruiser/base/fortress thingy.

If the gamespot screen isn't fake, then this game isn't gonna be exactly great it seems. There's two units recycled directly from KW (the Titan is almost 100% there, the tanks in the middle have the old predator chassis). I really hope this one's a fake.

The worst thing is it looks like yet another SAGE derivate.

To be honest, that looks more like an expansion pack style mod for C&C3 than a new game.

Is that crashed thing in the first picture the same as the flying thing in the second?

Yeah, sorry, guess it's best to use the other thread from now on.

if EA screws up one more game of this once incredible series i am gonna be really pissed and not buy them anymore however this does look like it will be a decent addition. and hopefully they will TAKE SOME TIME and make it a good game. the graphics look really intensive, i may need a new laptop :(

So far it has been in development for longer than usual, as usually a game is churned out for command and conquer every year.

Maybe it just me,
I'm afraid "Generals 2" is development codename for CnC4. Since in a screenshot I see CnC4 have bottom-bars like Generals. :(

No C&C4 has nothing to do with Generals 2. There never was any official statement about Generals 2 other than it will happen someday but not in the near future.

I'm afraid we have to wait for at least 2 years until there is a chance that they will announce Generals 2. Oh wait, it's EA, I meant 2 weeks :P

QFT.

The EA bashing aside, I wonder what Generals II is going to be like. One would hope that a navy is included (even if that defeats the whole "Generals" premise, being that the naval equivalent is an Admiral). I just hope that if/when Generals II does come out that it doesn't look anywhere near what CnC 4 is shaping up to be.

Hmm, from that screenshot I'm now inclined to think that Generals II might be developed off C&C 4, in the vein of how every Red Alert game has been like an "extended mod" for its Tiberian counterpart.

Looks like C&C 4 is a pilot test for the Generals 2 SAGE Engine. In that screenshot, the command bar can't remove the C&C Generals feel to it when you look at it.. Infact, i misread the "Offensive Crawler" to "Chinese Crawler" :P

Indeed, that's a holographic Generals UI :P

dudes, you can clearly see that there's a move button on those windows. the placement will probably be completely up to the user.

Waaah, I'm blind!

Seriously, were do you see a move button on each of these?

Sgt. Rho's Photo Sgt. Rho 21 Jul 2009

The button that shows four arrows in four directions at the top right of each UI part.

If that so, Generals 2 also will be a MMORTS. If that happen EA will be damned :P

The one that looks different on the left and middle tab, is lacking on the right one and has a striking resemblance to the deploy command button used in earlier games?

Yes, that one. I personally don't think it's a move button, but It's what Prey meant.
