Thanks to Demolition Man from the official CnC Renegade Forums for getting to the portfolio of one of the Renegade concept artists - Thomas Szakolczay. It seems he posted pictures from C&C3 and Ren2 there.

Ren2 concept arts are new, But this time, its not the same for C&C3. The dude posted models, with textures and polycounts and even (!!!) in-game pictures! There are movies of a design demo and a GDI Mission1 Intro movie, where a meteor has crashed in Las Vegas and you must retrieve it with a medic squad.

The Concepts of Ren2 once again prove the fact that Ren2 was going to be set between Ra2 and TD. There is a picture of logo designs of the Russian scavengers saying "Brotherhood*Unity" in Russian and there are some Allied Seal and Scavenger "Cyborg"/Conscript designs.

Command & Conquer 3

Command and conquer 3 was to be the third installment to the C&C franchise set in the near future, It was to be a real time strategy game using what is now the generals engine. This is the 4th title that I worked on that never got past the pre-production stage.

So instead of making a game that the CNC community might have liked, they opted for a trendy modern warfare game that basically trashes the entire CNC formula and is currently despised by CNC fans everywhere. Interesting.

Theres always going to be somebody moaning.

now if they could only get the original C&C and RA to work on windows xp....

Red Alert works for me in Windows XP SP2 when I downloaded the latest patch 3D Gamers - ra108usp.exe and then run the game under win95 compatibility mode.

Which really bites because the pre-pro looked really good. I guess that is what happens when big publishers eat up all the small gaming companies. What ever happened to the good old days with Westwood Studios, Bullfrog Studios, Muddy Foot, and all the other small gaming companies that always seemed to go that extra mile and break out of the box. The only company that I can think of that is still holding there own is Blizzard

:cry: I was really getting hyped up, thank god you broke this news today itself.

I've searched around to only find that ppl are assuming it is still in produection when in fact on Thomas A. Szakolczay website (the guy you got the concept pics from) he clearly states that it was scraped. Also there are no reports of this game on GameSpot or any other big gaming website that tends to have the scoop on new offical games.

What I'm guessing happened is they scraped the project and used the game engine that was suppost to be in C&C 3 and used it for C& C Generals. Its too bad I would have liked to have played this game.

Hate to be the barer of bad news but ever since bill roper and his group took off blizzard has been taking strict orders from Vivendi. However fear not because Flagship Studios is up and running. As is Arena.net.

Ah man, this bloody blows. This game looks absolutley fantastic, and if it was released I'm sure it would of made a much bigger lasting impression than ****y Generals did.

Generals was fun, but not a masterpeice like RA1 and C&C was. I think I probably played those games more than any others combined... or at least it felt like that.

Gaming has really lost it's fun since EA came along and gobbled up my three favourite gaming studios, Bullfrog, Maxis and Westwood. They all made fantastic games and now it's just all graphics graphics graphics. Hopefully this can be classed as the dark age of gaming where everyone just sat making better and better pixel shaders and not putting them to work - soon hopefully we will hit a barrier which will slow graphics development down and make everyone think about gameplay, in the exact same way that people had to before we had 3D accelerators.

    • KDE Plasma 6.5 will notify you if your printer's ink is low by David Uzondu This week, the KDE team continued work on the upcoming Plasma 6.5.0 as well as Plasma 6.4's fourth bug fix release, 6.4.4. As usual, both Plasma versions saw several UI tweaks, bug fixes, and performance improvements. The most notable changes are discussed in this article. Let's start with Plasma 6.5. The desktop environment is getting a useful feature that tells you when your printer is low on ink. This works by having the system check the Common Unix Printing System, or CUPS, for marker levels after a print job is created or completed. CUPS stores attributes like marker-levels in its printers.conf file, and once a level is determined to be low, it triggers a marker-supply-low-warning that Plasma will now use to inform you. UI improvements scheduled for 6.5 include disabling key repeat for certain global shortcuts, like toggling Overview, to prevent rapid screen flashing that could be a seizure risk. There is a better "Someone started sharing this screen" notification that now appears only after a connection is fully established. You will also find standard KDE styling with the "Confirm deleting network connection" dialog, and more consistent spacing in the Global Menu widget. As for bug fixes in 6.5, a layout bug that caused visual overflow in the printer setup page has been corrected. An issue that stopped you from using the virtual keyboard in the Application Dashboard search field is fixed, and XDG portal-using apps can now request screencasts of new virtual outputs. Finally, the clipboard configuration window's size and position information has been moved from the state config file to the settings file. Moving on to 6.4.4, the hitboxes for desktop items now correctly match their visual styling. This means no more accidentally selecting an invisible box around a file. And when you mark a notification as low priority, it will now correctly appear in your history if it arrived during Do Not Disturb mode, so it does not just vanish. If you're experiencing a Kwin crash on login, particularly in a QEMU virtual machine, 6.4.4 has a fix for that on the way. Other bug fixes 6.4.4 brings include: A fix for the Global Menu widget's single-button mode for X11 users. The search field in the Wayland version of the Global Menu widget works again. An annoying bug in the Global Shortcuts XDG portal that made apps think they had no shortcuts has been resolved. Plasma Browser Integration's built-in Share feature has been repaired. Plasma 6.4.4 will drop on the 5th of next month. You can find more details on the official KDE Blog.
    • I just remember wondering how she was ever a bridge officer at all with all of her insufferable insecurities. I am sure she's a wonderful person in real life, but the character was poorly written. They even had to dedicate a whole episode to her being forced into taking the responsibility of leading cadets out of a problem of some sort as if to show how she is "growing" into her function. Never bridge officer material and I just rolled my eyes at her scenes and eventually stopped watching the show altogether, but also because of all the lead character's cry/whisper/talking that frustrated me.
    • Didnt know it was coded/decoded so my bad.
