Command & Conquer 4 Preview: VideoGamer.com

[Sonic 297]

Another preview of Command & Conquer 4 has been found at VideoGamer.com. The problem with so many previews in the same day is that it feels like your going over the same information. Anyway, here's a sample of VideoGamer.com's impressions.

 

The turnaround from EA is all the more surprising given that this is officially the last entry in the Tiberium Wars series, a franchise that began with the genre-defining original C&C back in 1995. It’s always unexpected when a developer makes big changes to a long-established brand, but to do this to Command and Conquer? In the final chapter of the story? Why, surely even Kane himself would balk at such audacity?

 

But on second thoughts, perhaps this was exactly what the series needed. EA has openly admitted that their hand has been forced by success of games like Company of Heroes and Dawn of War II. Blizzard may be in a position where it’s happy and content to stick to its old-school format, but everyone else has to move with the times. It’s taken a long time for the RTS genre to really start changing, but now that the ball is rolling there’s a strong argument that developers must survive or die.
