Command and Conquer 4 Developer Diary Shows Class Warfare

by Jeff Mattas, Feb 12, 2010 3:20pm PST

Offense. Defense. Support. The latest single-player-focused developer diary for EA's Command and Conquer 4 - Tiberian Twilight explains how the latest chapter in the RTS-warfare series implements a class-based system, allowing players to approach the game's battles using a variety of different strategies.

Player progression is set up to allow players to easily switch between the game's different class types to try out different abilities and tactics. The game's developers also discuss how both the GDI and NOD will give players a unique perspective on the events of the story as they unfold.

Command and Conquer 4 - Tiberian Twilight is due out for PC on March 16.

I smell Epic FAIL all over this.

It is a shame EA took over and is doing there best to do what they all ways do make poor games or ruin good games they should go back to making bad sport games and leave the real games to people who know and care how to make them.

R.I.P C&C killed by EA.

This is the second batch of shots of this game which look incredibly un-inspired. I'd almost say the older versions looked better.

I started this series with the first C&C and Red Alert and I don't understand the reaction Shackers are having. Maybe I should try the demo. They had to take it in a new direction. The original gameplay doesn't hold up well. The Genre has moved on.

I was really disappointed with RA3. I played only a bit of Generals, but it was also pretty weak.

I tried the beta for a total of 10 minutes then deleted it. Very imbalanced, the units are just plain horrible, the GUI feels consolized for some reason. (big buttons?) The leveling system to get units is brutal.

Meh. I was a huge fan in the 90s but this now just doesn't look/feel right. RA3 was horrible in every way. It was like somebody shoving a toilet brush down my throat.

Maybe they will make some good games in the future instead of covering them with tits of some actresses. But I doubt it, as this doesn't look interesting to me at all.

It seems the franchise is pretty much dead, but maybe we will see a surprise revive in 5-10 years or so.

CNC is dead , finally. EA needs to die next. anyways, enough of EA bashing, I just want a new developer / talent, to pickup where CNC Generals / Zero Hour left off, and build on that.

EA, stay the fuck away.

RA3 I bought it, looked at the skill tree / promotional tree, and borrowed The Futures' Toilet brush and rammed it down my own throat too, to make me feel better about myself, and forget the 30 minute gameplay experience I just witnessed there.

CNC4, will laugh with all CNC vets at that one, and go out for a beer on that one.

please, anyone out there, lets start a game develpment company, and make a new proper CNC like game.

OH have I already said, FU EA?

Looks great. This looks like a nice twist on the standard RTS system.

I have to say though, it must be daunting to make an RTS that is scheduled to be released so close to SC2
