C&C Generals Unveiled
by Maarten Goldstein, Mar 08, 2002 3:53pm PSTGamespot has posted the promised First Hours of C&C Generals article, looking at Westwood's latest Command and Conquer RTS. The new game, which is in 3D, is set 20 years in the future and finds the US and China fighting against a rogue state. The First Hours article goes over the entire pre-production period, coming up with the story, the fairly brief development time of the title, mission planning and plenty of other things. As expected, the article has various screenshots from the game. A preview of the game will be posted by Gamespot on Monday. update Steve: Holy shit. I wanna play that!

and did i read right and they said they were using their own renegade 3d engine for it? i guess that explains it....
seriously looks to be on par with the rest of westwood's shit.. it will be just like emporer, same old boring game with some kool cutscenes..
how the hell do they expect to compete with graphics that look that bad with games like War3 & Age of Mythology looking so unbelievably good... westwood/ea, i never buy their games anymore they lost it a long time ago..

Ok it looks to me to be all too similar to Blizzard's interface, down to what looks to be like a unit selection limit, formerly one of the factors that differentiated WW RTS's from Blizzard's.
Come on, Westwood, don't give in like that, the C&C interface wasn't all bad.
BRING IT ON, BABY!!!!!!!

Sorry Westwood, but this time you will not fool me again. I am sticking to Blizzard after 4 (RA was good, so 1 out of 5) bad RTS-games.
Warcraft 3 will make me wanna play all night long again..

I want to use tanks and attack choppers and stuff! That's what I liked about the original C&C, and C&C2. I must say that I had pretty much lost my faith in Westwood after Red Alert 2, and how silly the unit design was. But C&C:Generals is looking pretty damn promising... I'm really looking forward to hearing more about it.
I say stick with the realistic warfare theme, and ditch the stupid sci-fi prism-tesla-squids-with-party-hats crap.

holy crap... SPOOGE!
I like the look and sound of this game. It is something I may buy. If this game does not have better AI or contain fog of war, I shall firebomb your offices.
That is all.
I just hope that it's not C&C with a makeover. I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO BUILD 2 TANKS AT THE SAME TIME MR. WESTWOOD SIR. THE UBERQUEUE WENT OUT OF STYLE WITH WARCRAFT. Thanks.
