Have you even played any SAGE games, other than Generals/ZH?

BFME2 has some awesome physics, ofcourse not akin to Half-Life 2 but a major improvement over ZH. Water is also treated differently, and there's a difference between lakes, rivers, oceans, etc.

[Alias]

Yes, BFME2 does use SAGE, but it also uses Havok to aid with the physics.

Personally, I'd prefer a new RedAlert-Episode. I don't know why, but I never liked the Tiberium-series that much, maybe because the old games have boring maps. This is a pre-judgement, I know, but I hope that a new Tiberian-Episode has atleast some big cities which weren't entirely destroyed. After all, I prefer RA, because I don't like it when it's too Sci-Fi...

I'm thinking that those pics dont look very tiberium infested to me...they look to un tiberium polluted.

[Waris]

I hope it'll use the enhanced SAGE like the one in BFME II. Or even better.

Besides it can be modded, like, straight away if it uses the game engine we're all familiar with

[The_Hunter]

ShockWave II anyone ?

I hope to God this isn't a fake, and since Hexetic has said it's true, I'm going to go ahead and get my hopes up.

Yep. C&C 3. Tiberium storyline. There's a few scans of the inside as well as the cover floating around the 'net already, although they're blurry and you can't make out much of the text. What you CAN make out, though, is some freaking AMAZING screenshots.

My next computer will be built specifically for this game. I already can't wait.

-EDIT-

Use the above links (particularly C&C Source) to see some scans from the mag (although not very good ones - like taken with a camera rather than a scanner). The earlier shots with all the blue are NOT real. Well, they are, but they were concepts from a loooooooooooooooooooong time ago: pre-Generals stuff.

[The_Hunter]

holy that stuff on the scans of cncsource looks awsome i can't wait to get a detailed scan to read about it

[Cvstos]

First thing tomorrow, I'm going to go look for this issue! Those scans do look awesome. Like Generals to the power of 4. Way beyond anything from Zero Hour.

The logos on the Orca's tail really intrigues me.

[The_Hunter]

it raises questions i wonder what the story line will be like it also seems the mammoth is making a appearance again

[Cvstos]

For the Orca's tail logo: There's already been a huge thing about it on some other forums.

If it IS from one of the previous C&Cs it's likely either a placeholder or maybe a logo for one of the "Generals" or something.

The story is supposed to be Tiberium Twilight, but until I have the issue itself I can't say much more than that. No idea how the supposed mammoths fit in there. Although if the Mk I type Mammoths come back, I'll be happy. Even in TS they kicked ass - even more ass than the Mk II, IMO.

Edited by Cvstos, 19 April 2006 - 09:18.

[The_Hunter]

the MKII was a awsome unit but no way as cool as the good old 2 barrel monster tanks know as mammoth tanks
which is also one of the things i missed the most in tiberian sun just regulair tanks treads and a turret mechs should be somekind of special addition and not the main battle units imo

[Cvstos]

I agree. The classic Mammoth... it's just got soul, you know? Something the Mk II never got. Back when I played TS regularly I modified the game so the original Mammoth was buildable by the GDI. Five of those things in a group can dish out a lot of damage very quickly.

[Kobra]

That sign on the Orca's tail looks like the USA sign in ZH or the Allies from RA2...

i actually am teary eyed when i read this. the tiberian series is my all time favorite game. in fact it was the first game i had installed on my own comp. Oh i love you EA but dont let me down. dont make a mochary of it like Yuri's revenge did to RA. I am gonna start saving money for a new graphics card to play CnC 3.

Peace through Power.

Those images were very real taken from the Westwood Studios version of C&C III back in 2002 and 2003. I am 100% positive the game looks nothing like those images you have posted.

So, I wonder if this is still C&C3 we're looking at, or just more teaser art. And if it is true, it would explain why the Orca has Generals' USA logo on the tail. And that tank also looks suspiciously similar to Generals' Overlord tank.


Also, from http://en.wikipedia....berian_Twilight:

Command and Conquer 3 has been officially announced in the June issue of PC Gamer. It is to be set in the Tiberian universe.

According to the PC Gamer preview, the story behind this game is that the world has been thrown into chaos due to the spread of Tiberium, and 20% of the Earth's surface is Tiberium-infested and inhospitable (Red Zones). 50% of the Earth is Yellow Zones, or areas that the Tiberium hasn't fully taken hold but is encroaching on the population. The rest of the earth is Blue/Green zones, where it is safe to live and also where the GDI is headquartered. The GDI is trying to prevent the spread of Tiberium and convert the Yellow Zones to Blue Zones (as usual) and NOD is trying to destroy GDI because of the link between Kane and Tiberium.

The game will use the SAGE engine, the same one used in C&C Generals. However, it will be heavily modified, similar to its edits for the Battle for Middle Earth 1 and 2. Live-action scenes will be used, despite their absence from Command & Conquer: Generals. There will be VoIP support in-game, clan support, and various observer/referee modes.

The preview also states that Kane will be returning, but it does not explain his resurrection. Additionally, the preview does not state who is going to play Kane in the live-action sequences.

[The_Hunter]

if that is supposed to be a overlord then why does it have the same color scheme as the orca ?

and it could be a temporalrly thing they even used voices and material from RA2 in the alpha from generals you can see that yourself if you brows through the textures and sound files from the alpha files released last year

[Prophet of the Pimps]

hehe the alpha files of generals contained the textures of the nuke silo from RA.

[Nexolate]

I'm just glad we're finally getting a new C&C Game, we've been waiting ages...

It's about time EA finally acknowledged us! >_<

[The_Hunter]

yea but now i wonder will i get shockwave done like i want it to be before the release of this game O_o
i don't think many people would still play it once this is out...

[Athena]

I think it'll take at least half a year before this game is out. Don't worry .
