There's a new preview of C&C 3 up over at
1UP. Here's a snip:
At E3, EA's employees showed gameplay; at Leipzig Games Convention they just played the game. After interrupting the building of GDI power plants with stealth tank attacks, both the Nod forces and GDI army reached a moderate number of units and played out the skirmish. Considering Command & Conquer 3 won't ship until 2007 (but EALA says it is hoping to release a demo in January or February of next year), it's remarkable how polished the game looks this early. With Flame Tanks burping fire everywhere, Mammoth Tanks unleashing salvo after salvo and Orcas zooming overhead dumping missiles, the demo never hesitated, sputtered or burped.
It's a nice preview, but the best part of the piece is no doubt the huge (200mb)
gameplay video included. It's well worth the download, though, and it gives a good feel for the game and the interface. While the game showed appears somewhat scripted, it features nice narration from APOC on the action and some of the features in C&C3, a great improvement on the myriad of previews attempting to do just that.
We recommend watching the video so much that we've uploaded it to our own servers: you can
download the video from us here, which we recommend because GameVideos.com's servers seem to be running a tad on the slow side due to the demand.
Also, a
collection of new and old C&C 3 screens is out. Here's two new ones:
