    Ares v0.3 Released

    ah.... when my reply was qualify as any kind of "conclusion"??
  2. i rather they charge subscription fee like world of warcraft. if they want to attract more people to try, they could charge less or give every first time player like a month or even 2 months free play. i think this is more practical than trying to get the concept of free2play works.

    Ares v0.3 Released

    thats mean we can have mental omega soon!!
  4. i was gonna to say the same, the gatling gun XD hope that the tank own armor can withstand it!! but a hijacker concept sound good to prevent blunt force "russian" player walking right through your front door XD you got a point, but I supposed if one has to design so many fictional tanks with all the real world tank design restriction, it would be a pretty daunting task... one or two tanks may be, but it would start getting the really hard as it goes on... if the APA/Chinese have a tank that big, then imagine if they add a Russian specific faction/general type to the game, the tank would be as big as a.... you do the imagining XD

    APA Rocket General - Red Arrow

    hmmm from the graphic point of view, i think they just hired a chinese model and took pictures then turned it into a painting... not that anyone would be interested, just saying as an cg artist... I think the look of the soldier of the rocket squad is a bit generic imo. i think they should make the launcher big, real big, otherwise, it would be just a rocket squad like in any other c&c which is a standard unit!

    APA Urban Combat General - Beast

    i have to agree its kinda weird... 常幐 is "always" a winner. they both act as "lucky" sticker, like those red paper with chinese writing when you visit china town in chinese new year. and i think, i thank that 骠骑 was used even before the famous ancient chinese civil war "the three empire"... I actually like this one, i think its pretty cool
  7. hi, is actually two main question though... does mod SDK works with the "Ultimate Collection"? and the second part of the question is that I noticed the SDK for Red Alert 3 been described as better than the SDK for Tiberium Wars, so can the Red Alert 3 one be used on Tiberium Wars?? ok, there actually a third one I recalled that on the old Download section of CNCNZ, there was the source code for the engine of Tiberium Wars as well, but now its gone, can anyone tell me where can i get one of those?? cause, i have been thinking if its possible to port the graphic engine of RA 3 Tiberian Twilight to Tiberium Wars?? do you guys thinks its possible?? but anyhow i need to know if the "Ultimate Collection" would work with SDK and mods before investing time into some projects.... but still, would hate the fact that even playing TW and RA3 or even RA2 would be required to login to origin... damn EA... Thank you guys!!!!! Keith
  8. my feeling telling me that is probably one of those options that to be paid. cause that sounds more solid as other things they said player can gain by paying just not gonna get them any real money.
  9. the janitor may be..... joke in case you don't get it i did some thinking this morning and wondering why live action scene have been a tradition in C&C, back in the good old day, 94, 95 perhaps, we just don't have the computer power to do good cg character, and in specific, facial animation, so while all the other elements were done in CG, the human element if you will, was handle with real actors/actresses. and only until starcraft 1 was born, i think that was 98, we finally have the power to do ok cg characters, so here you go then i guess. you see, i am in a similar position guessing how this is all gonna work, money wise i mean. I am however more interested in their so called new business model. they said it would be free to play, EA ain't charity, someone has to paid, buying new skin or art or voices, that just not solid enough, but then if you can buy different general or new units, then it destroys the free2play purpose just like in TA... is strange to see that they were doing facial animation shown in the video, cause from my assumption, they should be doing work to meet a multilayer beta, that facial animation should belong to some kind of single player campaign, are they working on it now?? or that might be for some kind of advertising/promotional video....
  10. it seems that they would use CG characters this time round and not real live cut scene.
  11. I think the poster you see here, the majority portion of it, is made by my local interior design/furniture company: G.O.D just a guess.
  12. don't know about you guys, if is this guy again, i am not in hurry at all
  13. i have to say, the new command and conquer looks really great. But I just don't know how this new business model gona work.... micro transation for new skin, new sound just don't sound right, I think is a huge gamble on EA part... I think what they want to archive is that let the popularity slowly pack up speed as people can play for it for free, then try to sell players stuff like single player compaign, new genenral, maps and so on. But this is gonna take a long time to archive, this is why is risky, very unlike the usual EA norm...
  14. not directly related to this. just want to say nice new avatar Sonic, year of the sanke i guess?? though i am anxious to know how the business model actually going to be handle? from the look of this game, it seems that it probably gonna cost a lot to develop, I am not convinced that they are going to make much money with custom skin or similar things like that. From my experience, if a game is truly based on a free2play model, but the auidances are still the intended customers, then the whole thing would already fail before taking flight... the only true free2play games are the one that makes money off from ads, for example. so thats my view.

  22. Hi, and i am gonna get a lot of hate mails for this... though TS was my first experience on C&C, I always not liking it that much until RA 2 with its vibrant graphic, while TS trying to convey a post apocalyptic feel to it, but I think they failed, i was wondering if there a way to at turn the palate a bit more lively, brighter and more vibrant?? instead of pushing your tiny figurine that can only see 3cm always in a huge map and always under the shadow... hope someone can help thanks!!!
