Take that, dirty console monkies!

- C&C 3 is making it's first showing here. Various cool things, like the new (EA) dev team making a 'dev bible' that explains eveything in the setting, so they can keep the games consistent and work within their own framework. It'll go off EA's SAGE engine - it powered Generals, BFME 1 and BFME 2. They've been upgrading the hell out of it though. Generals looks horrible compared to BFME 2.
They better get Joseph Kucan back to play Kane, though.

That's about the only game i'm bothering to follow. Need to check up on Medieval 2, see if Valve made any dramatic remarks, look at the Civ 4 expansion pack info (if any) and check on Ceaser 4 (it's being made by the guys who made Children of the Nile - the game I raved over earlier).

Hard work, being a geek.

Command and Conquer 3 looks sweet, i just hope it doesn't player like Generals, the weakest game (in my opinion) of the series. Hopefully it'll be reminiscent of its older games in the series *crosses fingers*

Yeah, I don't like the 'feel' of generals too much. They tried to merge C&C and warcraft 3, I think.

I really like the sidebar in the earlier C&C games. Means less farting around trying to find buildings to do stuff.

Acck, Ar eyou guys kidding? Outside of story line, there are no C&C's before Generals.

I hated that stupid side bar. It meant that there was absolutely no point in having a big base or mulitple buildings, as only one could train at a time.

Sure you can select a primary, but who cares? what if I want two people to come out of two different places, at once? You can't flank if you have all one set of guys on one side, and another set on the other, totally takes an edge from the strategy.

Besides, for finding a building, just save areas to memore using the F1-4 and then buildings to memory on the 0-6,
Then reserve 1-5 for your units and army.

Easy.

I liked Generals, though I think it majorly lacked in options.

I still think Tiberian Dawn was the best.

I am thrilled, however, to hear that they're finally coming out with Tiberian Twilight.  It's about friggin' time.  They'd better not ruin it for me.

Odd thought:  Command & Conquer may have actually been the first video game I ever bought with my own money.

And I liked the sidebar, too.
