Empire at War!

I personaly have been looking forward to this game for a long time, and by the video i think that Lucas Arts has done pretty good on it, and i think that when it comes out over half the empire will have it. But to bad i couldn't listen to the sound, my speakers are not working

I think the fact that it is being developed by Petroglyph, which has a lot of old Westwood staff, rather than LucasArts itself also has something to do with it.

More news on this thread. There is now another short 2 min trailer at the URL General Jansen provided. (http://media.pc.gamespy.com/media/713/7 ... ids_1.html if you're to lazy to scroll back.

) From the looks of these trailers this game is going to be incredible and I've already earmarked the cash to pre order it.

And Westwood didn't really fall apart, it was bought out by Electronic Arts, which came up with Renegade, Red Alert 2 and Red Alert 3. Renegade is a really good first person shooter game set in the C&C universe during the time of the first game (Tiberium Dawn, or The Original Command & Conqure for those unfarmiliar with the name). Unfortunately Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge, and Red Alert 3 weren't all that spectacular and didn't live up to the Westwood story line. They seemed more like thoughtless attempts to bilk more money out of Westwood's most celebrated game sequal, the first Red Alert, instead of being ground breaking and fresh like Renegade. Personally I'm happy that the old Westwood staffers are finally free to do what they want now that they have Petroglyph, rather than what EA wants to do.

I actually think it will be a Grand MAster Strategy game. Oh the joy!

I was unaware that they had produced a Red Alert 3. What was that about?

The only good C&C parts are the very first one and the only true successor - Tiberian Sun. The other ones stink. ESPECIALLY Red Alert.

Must have been a typo I guess, though at the time I did hear a rumor circulating around the dark side of the refresher about a Red Alert 3, so that's probably why I mentioned it. Suprise, suprise the idea fell through (EA probably decided they couldn't make any more money out of it) so some hardcore Red Alert 2 fans came up with "Red Alert 3" mod for C&C Generals that changes everything over to RA2. Personnaly I think it was a waste of time and they should have done the original Red Alert instead, but it's their time to waste I suppose.

Kevin: Yes, it's a GMS that encompases both Space and ground combat. Everthing I've seen about it and the people making it leads me to believe it will be a epic game, ground breaking all the way. In fact I'm planning to preorder it just because I think it'll be that good, which is something I have never, ever done for any other game.
