+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted July 9, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted July 9, 2009 EA has confirmed to VG247 that Command & Conquer 4 will not release on consoles. No reason has been given for the decision to keep the game as a PC-only release as yet, but we've asked for official comment. We're guessing we're going to get something including the word "focus". C&C4 was announced earlier today for a 2010 release. Gamespot's now posted the game's first screen, showing units doing the do. As they do. Hit the release link for full details.

Sethos Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 So a game that isn't watered down in certain areas to make it compatible for the consoles and is a pure PC RTS? Win-o-Win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Impressive graphics but the EA Command Conquers are always in such small maps I prefer the huge size of Supreme Commander and I await the sequel to SupCom. I couldn't care less about this EA Milking fest. 'Omg a franchise ! quickly we must kill it with Fire, Endless nonsensical sequels and expansions' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted July 9, 2009 Author Subscriber² Share Posted July 9, 2009 Command and Conquer has always been more of a casual RTS, nothing wrong with having them as well. Also RTS games need kb/m, that's one of the main reasons they nearly all blow chunks on consoles and have to be dumbed down to just pick one type of offensive troop and keep mashing x to win level. Not everyone can dedicate 4 hour marathon sessions to Civilisation. I'm playing Anno 1404 right now and it's a good balance between having to micromanage how the grass grows and another 8,000 things at once, and just having good fun, and it looks gorgeous maxed out on my rig. PC is the home of RTS games and always will be, it's good to see developers not waste resources on the consoles. EA didn't even support kb/m with Red Alert 3 on the PS3 when they could, it's just pointless making console RTS games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sethos Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) It'll probably be free and then you have to purchase each individual map, unit and base structure for $5. Edited July 9, 2009 by Sethos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Antonius Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Good. I had Red Alert 3 on the 360, and although i loved it, it kinda destroyed the original CnC massive army steam rolling that i enjoy doing. (Because of the 50unit limit) I ended up getting it for the PC, runs perfect on windows on my macbook bootcamp partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhalamar Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 i wont even come near EA draconic DRM products, any word if it will have it? Apparently C&C4 will have no DRM at all. Although, you have to be connected to the Internet and EA for your profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObiWanToby Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Sweet. Looks kind of like SupCom with experimental. The game should feel better being focused on the PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red. Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Meh, I'll try it out but I'm not really a fan of C&C anymore after playing SupCom. I can't really describe it but it feels a bit 'arcadey'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C:Amie Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Interesting. Looking at the screenshot, we've gone back to mecha/quadruped style walking units, and the crashed ship looks strangely loke the Kodak from Tiberian Sun. http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/comm...meShotId,74545/ It's not a re-telling of TS is it? :s Perhaps a prequel to C&C 3?
