Tore Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 W00t! Seems like EA listened to the thousands of people who wanted GDI mechs in C&C3. O_O "But now I want tanks!!!!! bwaaaaaaa!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsonum Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Yeah, well, I wouldn't mind if the mechs weren't that bulky and box-like...and yeah, they seem to be mechs just for the heck of it. I wonder why there's Titans from KW and some crappy-ass version of Mammoth Mark II... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFlibble Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I'm not impressed. That pic looks StarWar-ish and reminded me of the StarWars: The Clone Wars CGI series I've watched recently. Honestly, I'd rather much prefer a C&C game that would not be a futuristic sci-fi stuff, but have a contemporary world/nearest future setting like in the original C&C.

Irony Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Unfortunately, the previous iterations of the game have put the series too far into the future for it to be like the first one. I think something like 60 years passed since TD in C&C3, It'd just take messing up the storyline to a new level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Unfortunately, the previous iterations of the game have put the series too far into the future for it to be like the first one. The next installment doesn't have to chronologically follow the previous game (e.g. the storyline of Red Alert was supposed to take place before C&C). There could be a game about the events between TD and TS, for example. Or a game revisiting the first war, focusing on some events not covered the original campaigns.

Nyerguds Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 They messed up enough with time travel. Let's not go there Also, they said this game would finally finish the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 They messed up enough with time travel. Let's not go there I did not mean "time travel". I meant setting the next game's story before the events of the previous one. And I would not care of this game were called C&C4 or not (since the next numeral in the title usually means a sequel rather than a prequel).

Nyerguds Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 yeah well, they did that once with RA1, and you know what kind of mess that became, in terms of continuity X_x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 What could be wrong with a game about some events during the first war? Surely not everything was covered in the original C&C campaigns and/or add-on missions. Unless they introduce more time-travel or some other, equally crazy ideas (don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing RA1 here), everything should be fine.

Nyerguds Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 They CAN'T, however, squeeze an entire WAR in there that was somehow completely unknown before. That would be ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Sure thing. But my point is that a new installment in the series does not necessarily have to: - be a sequel - feature an entirely new setting and storyline Just for example, if we take the first war, there could be a Nod campaign taking place in Europe and a GDI campaign in Africa. They CAN'T, however, squeeze an entire WAR in there that was somehow completely unknown before. The events of Renegade were "somehow completely unknown before", and all missions for add-on disks before Firestorm feature the events that happened during the same wars from the respective games. So generally, there exist no objections towards making a game that would be about the first war, or its aftermath. Another thing is that the developers are perhaps unwilling to create such a game, as they aim for a sequel set in a futuristic sci-fi atmosphere.

Nyerguds Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 The events of Renegade are 1. like the covert ops, mostly unknown to the general public 2. bullcrap And Firestorm really continued the story AFTER TS, so no, that's hardly valid. It's adding another major conflict IN BETWEEN that is not possible imo. The FS events are a serious part of the Tiberian storyline, since they show that CABAL rescued Kane.

I did not say FS takes place during TS (that's nonsense). I meant the add-ons before FS, namely Covert Ops, Counterstrike and Aftermath (now I doubt whether Aftermath takes place during or after RA, since it's called "Aftermath", after all). In any case, it unlikely EA will make a game the way I want it, so it seems that I gotta persuade someone to make a RA2 mod plus campaign about the unknown events of the first C&C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 well both CS and AM are about the same theme as C&C1's Covert Operations... the behind-the-scenes battles with bizarre technology which the public was never informed about. The game box and website of Counterstrike make this quite clear, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
