Happy New Year everyone, 2007 will be bigger and better than 2006 of course!!! C&C returns! CNCNZ, thank you for your undying incredible support and fantastic site, its a pleasure coming here daily. -Predator

Though our movies are being shot in HD, they are compressed to VP6, so everyone will be able to play them on their computer. Its more like, if you can play a DVD, then you can play our movies within the game. The fact we shoot them in HD makes them look extremely better when compressed to VP6 than if we shot them in DV. The HD Quicktime I gave the community is processor intensive because Quicktime is. In the futurem, ill try and provide a WMV HD instead of Quicktime. Glad you guys are enjoying it otherwise. -Predator

You think you know, things are not always what they seem... Its been too long coming for me not to post here, so i'll do my best to get some more activity going here on my behalf. -Predator

Hey guys, General Kane, i'm going to commend you on your logo creation, however I have a few critiques as someone who has seen many logos in my time... -The 3 is very disproportionate to the rest of the logo, it looks too tall and wonky. Numbers in logos should be proportionate to the actual logo and it looks out of place right now. -The green box behind the logo isn't fade well, but certainly it could be part of an "animation" of some sort theoretically, but i'm not feeling the green box, i like the tone you're going for, just think the implementation needs to be more seamlessly integrated Other than that, the point of your logo is simply to put the old "3" behind the new logo which is the main critique i've seen from those who do not like the logo. Lets refresh on something here however. When we designed this logo, we took the fans comments and feelings into consideration heavily. We knew you guys wanted the ampersand (&) back and were confused as to why we put a "+" in the old logo, well, I was confused why we did that to, lol. We knew you guys are traditionalists, in fact, those who visit this site, the Den, and PCNC in particular I would classify as extreme traditionalists and nostalgists so to speak. So in your defense, we looked back at the old logo and reincarnated it. Trust me when I say, we went thru many iterations on different logos, and at the end of the day we kept coming back to the traditional nostalgic C&C logo. We gave it a little more sleek look, more of a widescreen look persay. The "3" is the biggest subject of controversy and was without question the HARDEST part of the logo design. At one point we had a "3" that was three Tiberium crystals, I actually thought it was very cool, but it just wasn't legible or noticeable, too subtle. We had a logo with the 3 off-set to the right, the bottom, the top, roman numerals, my gosh, it was crazy, but again, at the end of the day, we felt the "3" we chose worked the best. It will have a more embossed "tiberium" look to it on the packaging. And lastly, we're putting the prominence in the logo back on "Command & Conquer", that is why Tiberium Wars takes second priority. When you walk into a store, we want you to see a "C&C" game, or when you look online. We don't want you to see "Tiberium Wars" and be like, whats that. Alright, so those of you that are experts know immedietly Tiberium=C&C, but...a lot of people don't. The point is, C&C is what holds this game together and when you look at a packaging, thats what I believe you want to see first. So, we flipped the prominence in comparison to past C&C games where "Red Alert" or "Tiberian" took the larger font, and I think it works a lot better. It just looks funky to me to see "C&C" smaller than the subtitle, for me, that makes no sense. So here is the bottom line guys, we know your extremely hardcore to the max and you live and die for the past 10 years of C&C. This is a new decade of C&C and "C&C is back", but with respect to our development team, we don't want to just immitate what's been done over and over again. Things have to change to stay fresh, but there is plenty of "old-school" and nostalgic aspects of C&C 3 from the gameplay to the story to the logo to the packaging. I 100% agree with Sonic in that its very challenging to promote "fun" in the community when you are immedietly thrown under the bus before you've barely let out a breath. I don't personally think we shoud be subject to agree with all critiques, finding a better common ground would be good :-) For all the people that dislike the new logo, there are quite few more that like it, just read the different boards. So if you don't like the new logo, that doesn't mean that the C&C world has turned upside down and its doomsday. We mean it when we say we are listening to the community and doing everything possible that we agree with...with respect to our art and vision of C&C 3, that we'd like to accomodate, make sacrifice, and put in the game. Anyhow, thats my rant, i'll take the feedback about the logo to the team but I cannot promise change at this stage, we shall see. Man we need APOC back, double team action would be great right about now :-) -Predator p.s - as I said in a previous forum, November was slow because we had to focus on Rise of the Witch-king which is launching Thursday, now with that out the door we are putting full force into C&C 3 going forward, so you'll be seeing a lot more info in the short coming months.
