Command & Conquer 4 Screens: Free Range Bases

Related Topics – screenshots, PC

New Command & Conquer 4 screenshots shows that when the going gets tough, the bases get going. Or its much-vaunted 'Crawler' mobile all-in-one bases do, at least.

Even bases sometimes need to get away for a little 'me' time.

Developed by EA Los Angeles, the PC real-time strategy promises an "Epic conclusion to the beloved Tiberium universe" when it arrives in 2010, toting class-based gameplay, objective-based multiplayer and, of course, more of your favourite cheesy cutscenes.

Ea should get the GIJOE rights, which i think it already have. Take them and make a Gijoe game using the C&C engine with cut scenes. Then implement hero classes and have them be the iconic characters.

  The bears were awesome. You have to be dead inside. Launching them out of a bullfrog was hilarious. : Sturm08

Still can't help but wonder what the newer C&C games would've been like with the old Westwood.

Why do you people hate new C&C games so much? I hear all this whining about style, graphics, pew-pew, bears, etc., but I don't get it at all. I loved C&C 1 and Red Alert 1 back in the day and I totally dug C&C3 and Red Alert 3, and I can't believe I'm the only one here that feels that way.

Are there any current C&C fans left on the shack or am I the last of a dying race?

Something terribly wrong with graphics.I mean C & C 4 is nowhere near the quality of C & C 3,where has all the dynamic shadows and lighting gone ? Red Alet 3 cartoonist visuals were very disappointing now C & C 4 getting even more worse.

The game might actually be fun to play, but I just can't get past the plastic toy look of the units, and zoom level of the camera, which sucked majorly in the last two games. So, no buy from me, because it looks like crap compared to other RTS games out there, which we got in numbers... so I can be picky.

I've been spoiled by the awesome gameplay in Relic's titles.

Sceens make the game look kind of weird to be honest. Hopefully it looks better in motion like SC2.

I really don't like the direction this game is taking, especially with the whole 'classes' thing (new preview - http://au.pc.ign.com/articles/101/1012768p1.html)
