Command and Conquer trailer is Kane-tastic
Xboxygen has a new trailer for Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Unfortunately, the footage is purely cutscene and doesn't show any gameplay, but it does feature some pretty explosions and more of Kane's alleged baddass attitude. It also gives more insight into the NOD perspective on this contention. Xboxygen has a 720p version available for download, should you be interested. So what side are you going to take if you plan on picking this up?[Thanks, DjDATZ]
Video: C&C3 brings in the talent
Xboxyde managed to wrangle a new trailer for Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. The new trailer mixes gameplay footage with video cutscenes. Command & Conquer fans know that the series typically favors full motion video over CG cutscenes, and this video lives up to that tradition. The video brings in some serious talent, too. In particular we must point out the inclusion of Billy Dee "Lando Calrissian" Williams and Michael "Sam Fisher" Ironside. Hit the "read" link to check out the trailer.C&C3 releases next month. Hopefully the control scheme has been successfully tweaked since BFMEII. Anyone planning on picking this one up?
C&C3's new faction revealed, first video
EA released a new video of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium wars today. This video reveals an all new faction, the Scrin. The Scrin is an alien race with lots of lasery goodness and units that look like they were pulled directly out of War of the Worlds. Judging from the new trailer, they're not friendly aliens either. A handful of new screen shots were released as well. Check them out after the break.
C&C 3: Kane Edition for PC, no 360 love?
Gamertag Radio has the goods on a special edition of Command & Conquer 3 that's coming to PC. Entitled Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars: Kane Edition, the game will include "an enormous amount of exclusive content." At first, we wondered why EA would exclude the 360 from its special edition love fest. Then we looked at the list of included content. Let's see: strategy videos, 5 multiplayer maps, different skins for your units, exclusive wallpapers, and behind the scenes videos. Sound familiar? Our best guess would be that EA plans to make these items available through Xbox Live Marketplace. Granted, it's just speculation for now, but it seems highly plausible, especially given EA's love affair with microtransactions. Potentially, it could actually be cheaper than picking up a special edition. Pay for the stuff you want (maps) and leave the rest alone (videos, themes, etc.). (Did we just mention EA and microtransactions in a positive light? Whaa?)Do you like the idea of buying this content one piece at a time, or would you prefer to buy it all in a spiffy special edition?
Xbox 360: The Best of 2007
2006 was a great year for the Xbox 360. We saw tons of great games -- Oblivion, Gears of War, and Dead Rising just to name a few -- Xbox Live Arcade showed signs of maturity, Xbox Live grew by leaps and bounds, and overall 360 sales are closing in on the 10 million mark. Yes, it was a good time to be a gamer if you had a 360. What about the future? What does 2007 hold for the Xbox 360? Read on and join the discussion.
C&C3 debut video conquers Marketplace
A new trailer for Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars popped up on Xbox Live Marketplace today. The video features lots and lots of mass destruction, as huge contingents of soldiers and machines wage war. Unfortunately, the video is devoid of any sort of interface, so we can't tell what -- if any -- refinements have been made to the control scheme created for BFMEII. Overall, the game is looking very slick and polished. The trailer itself is well produced, too. We particularly like the tag line at the end of the video: "Coming to a home theater near you." Nice. See the trailer after the break.
C&C3 gameplay: GDI Vs. NOD
GameTrailers has posted some new footage of Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. The video showcases the game's two factions, the GDI (Global Defense Initiative, i.e. the good guys) and NOD (the Brotherhood of Nod, i.e. the bad guys). The GDI focuses on powerful, but slow moving units. The video features massive two-turreted tanks, missile launching foot soldiers, and some powerful mechs. The Brotherhood focuses on attacking and escaping quickly. The video features many vehicles capable of teleporting in and out of battle for quick strikes, including jets, jeeps, and laser/flamethrower wielding mechs. Watch the video after the break.
New footage of C&C 3: Tiberium Wars
Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars was officially confirmed as a 360 title last month, and now we bring you brand new footage of the game, via GameTrailers. In short, the game looks insane (in a good way). Without any sort of HUD or visible interface, it's hard to imagine actually being in control of the madness on screen. The game looks great, especially for an RTS, and looks to be running at a buttery smooth frame rate, too. Watch the video after the break and tell us what you think.
360 Command & Conquer 3 is official
We reported that Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars was bound for 360 way back in June. 4 months later, it looks like EA has finally seen fit to give official confirmation. Building (and hopefully improving) upon the control scheme developed for Battle for Middle Earth II, C&C3 promises a great campaign as well as a huge multiplayer component all in a futuristic setting. Two screens, including the image above, have been released and they look awfully nice -- see hi-res versions on Xboxyde. No doubt, RTS enthusiasts will prefer to play on their PC, but it's nice for 360 fanboys to have a more couch-friendly option. Read the full press release (politely borrowed from Fraggerock) after the break.
