Kane's Wrath Epic Units Preview at IGN

[Sonic 296]

IGN have posted a new Kane's Wrath preview featuring the Epic Units. This preview reveals the Scrin Epic Unit called the Eradicator Hexapod. There is 1 new in game screen shot and renders of all 3 Epic Units. As well as new Epic Units Trailer. Here is part of the preview.

 

For the first time, each C&C3 faction has been outfitted with all-new Epic Units. GDI takes to the field with the new Mammoth Armed Reclamation Vehicle (MARV), while Nod wreak havoc with the Redeemer, and the Scrin with their Eradicator Hexapod. Not only are these units epic in terms of sheer scale, standing at three times the height of a Mammoth Tank, they are also epic in game-changing potential. Much like the super-weapons our C&C fans are familiar with, constructing one of these behemoths will require the construction of its own production structure, and only one Epic Unit can be placed on the battlefield at a time. However, once unleashed, Epic Units can single-handedly take on a battalion of Tier 3 units promise to wreck havoc on your opponent.

And the new screen shot and renders, which are big enough to be used as wallpapers.

The Nod Redemmer looks really great...

 

That GDI thing looks stupid, and the Scrin bug is lame.

 

Glory to Nod!

Yeah. Too bad GDI just couldnt stick to mechs.

 

Now I got to decide whether to follow the Avatars of Nod or go back to old-school GDI Mech Tech.

I think they all look great, especially the Redeemer!

The renders are really, really, really sexy... I can't wait to see what Kane Nash does with the new material.

 

But why does Nod all of a sudden get mind-control?

Oh I guess if you extend the confessor idea... maybe. Shouldn't that ability have been better with Scrin?

 

But teleporting an epic unit around the map... that's going to be pretty powerful!

 

I know they wouldn't have done it, but wouldn't have been cool if only Scrin got an epic ground unit. So like their epic air unit, their vast alien intelligence is the only race that could engineer such a massive epic unit. You could balance with GDI with an epic version of the Grand Cannon, and Nod with an advanced stealh field - which is an upgraded firestorm generator that not only cloaks but shields.

I agree with Sonic, all these look GREAT.

Nod don't get mind control, the rage generator or whatever just makes everyone go semi crazy. Its just like the grenade the Confessor throws, except it affects everything in range I believe.

(wonder if anyone will notice this post since the news about RA3)...so does anyone know the capabilities of the scrin epic unit Eradicator hexapod?

I would really like to see how he makes these wallpapers. lol. He has literally become my idol when making wallpapers.

Isn't that what I just said?

Well it's what I was trying to say anyway.

KW is soooo 2007.

2008 the year of RA3.

:lol:

[Luk3us 63]

Actually I sincerely hope that they DON'T release RA3 this year. As SC2 is meant to be released this year. And it would totally overshadow RA3 which would be a shame... I imagine they're release RA3 next year in March, like what they did with C&C3 last year.

[Gben 20]

Yeah it's possible - but the other mentality of marking - is fight for your peice of the pie - don't allow the other side a monopoloy by default.

 

The correct choice is usually only seen in hindsight....

[Sonic 296]

Stay on topic in the news threads please. Discuss RA3 in the appropriate threads and/or forums.

[rEdaSbLood 1]

yea stay on topic, and someone tell me what the scrin epic unit does lol

[Inferno 22]

RASB: the scrin epic gets money for kills. Putting a mastermind inside will allow it to teleport
