CNCNZ.com Roundtable #21 - Looking into the C&C Future

[hagren 0]

Westwood's C&C was a trilogy, Dawn, Sun and Twilight.

 

Westwood's TT featured 3 factions, GDI, Nod, Scrin, the first expansion set featured a fourth faction (The Forgotten) and ended with the second expansion with a 5th faction (CABAL). The ending ends to link to the start of RA2, making the C&C franchise inter-related RA C&C Ren TS TT RA2.

 

I have no idea what hagren and §tìngèr said were refering to this or EA's version (which I have no idea how will it be), or a fan-fiction.

I referred to WWs CnC3. It would have featured GDI, Nod, Cabal, the Scrin and the Forgotten as factions, one of them in an exp pack. The story isn't that special though (cheesy, even), so I'm happy with EA's own version, especially Kane's plan was brilliant. Hopefully the Scrin shape up to be more mystical, though.

hagren you speak blasphemy!

w00t!. CABAL and The Forgotten as factions would be so damn awesome!

I love those missions in Firestorm where the Forgotten has Mammoth Tanks and stuff.

INDEED

Sorry, not a big fan of clichéd post-apocalyptic scenarios (Notable exceptions: Fallout and Rage). I just could not bear those cheesy desert nomads, ie. shiners. Malevolent AIs are overdone too, but CABAL was saved by a combination of good writing and superb voice acting.

Have fun. It's spread out over a few dozen posts.

Sorry if there's any confusion about what I recall. I read it back in 2000 with no link it back it up. how they described each chapter and how vivid it was written was very interesting. tiberium twilight was the third... tiberium dawn/age, tiberium eclipse, and tiberium night were the names of the future games. they expanded with new sides as mentioned before. but that was ages ago... and could have been in my head.

 

Wasn't the titles "Tiberian Eclipse", "Tiberian Moon", "Tiberian [iNSERT NAME HERE]" some fan-made suggestions after the heavy criticisms on the announcement of the naming of C&C3 "Tiberium Wars"?

I'm not particularly fond of EA's C&C3. I think the cheesiness in the entire game was really out of place (More for Red Alert 2 theme though), however if they want some casual humor they could have some small sequences with in jokes and things like that. And Kane's plan and his babble about "Ascension" sound so Stargate-ish and yet so not-making-any-sense at all. The worst part is leaving the whole incomplete story hanging high up... and that WAS the ending. I was like... damn what have I spent the past few hours for... for this?

I think they were suggestions for the future games. More like guidelines to follow. But like I said that was a long time ago. It was interesting in any case. talking about the space station and sabotage by kane, forgotten or scrin destroying earth after conflict. It talked about somehow the forgotten/shiners used that tablet to home in on the scrins home planet. over time we built terra formers to reshape their atmosphere so we could breath, but I'll say no more. Fun stuff.

I don't think anything in EA's CnC3 was much cheesier than McNeil wanting to kick some ass or bringing Umagon back to life in TS. What CnC3 lacked were compelling FMVs, the atmosphere and design was decent however.

His babble about "Ascencion" is similar to what WW planned though, and the plan leading up to that was, admit it or not, pretty witty. Yeah, the ending was a bit underwhelming, but the events leading up to it were, except some boring Red zone missions, satisfying enough.
