PurpleGaga27 37 Posted June 7, 2013 Hmmm, it's quite fitting that I used that Predator Tank with rockets for the ZOCOM faction in my KW Reloaded mod. Share this post Link to post
Plok 319 Posted June 7, 2013 ENTRY 16 - June 7th, 2013TIBERIAN INCURSION RECYCLING - PART 2 Had to divide into two parts due to Imgur's momentary disobedience. Anyhow... The Sniper looks very similar to the one used in Tiberium Wars, but is missing a sophisticated look on his rifle and a laser pointer. Civilian vehicles were designed in the same style as the ones in Tiberium Wars... ...and so were bridges. EALA apparently knew more about C&C lore as some might think. Share this post Link to post
Plok 319 Posted June 8, 2013 ENTRY 17 - June 8th, 2013CUT GENERALSThree generals from the vanilla C&C Generals 1 version that was developed by Westwood have residual images in the game files.[iMAGE REMOVED]Bradley, the US tank general, a spiritual predecessor to the Chinese Ta Hun Kwai.[iMAGE REMOVED]Thorn, the US special forces general. He might have inspired Mercury Red from C&C F2P.[iMAGE REMOVED]Griffon, the US air force general, the predecessor to Malcolm Granger.There are also some more generals that were cut, but do not have visual depictions either: Ironside (US boss general), Chen (Chinese Red Army/infantry general), Jin (Chinese People's Police general) and Kurtz (African faction general).It should also be noted that Mohmar was supposed to be the GLA boss general and was intended to appear in skirmish/multiplayer and Generals' Challenge, but was narrowed down to a campaign role.UPDATE FROM JUNE 15th: The images previously shown here were from the Generals 1 multiplayer ranking system and have been misplaced on the EVA Database. I apologise for the misinformation. Share this post Link to post
Plok 319 Posted June 9, 2013 ENTRY 18 - June 9th, 2013JOHNWE AND TCNFor those of you who don't know, the Tiberium Control Network is a system built by GDI and Nod in C&C 4 to control the spread of Tiberium, imagined by Kane. The strange part of it is the actual author of the technology: Abbot John W.E. Vladislav. He did it by reversing Scrin technology and also contributed in making the SG-11 Salamander. Guess our biggest C&C fan got a long way in Nod's ranks...Click here if you don't trust me (note: only the text is preserved, so the site has barely any HTML coding stuff and you need to scroll on) Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted June 10, 2013 You know what I loved about C&C4, how they didn't explain anything about anything in the damn game. 1 Share this post Link to post
Plok 319 Posted June 10, 2013 ENTRY 19 - June 10th, 2013LEOPARD TANK The Crusader Tank was a cut USA vehicle from Generals 1. It was capable of travelling both with its treads and through hovering (when upgraded. More info here. Share this post Link to post
Plok 319 Posted June 11, 2013 Wouldn't judge the model itself, it was WIP and the LOD was low compared to what it might have looked like in the final version. Still, the paintjob is a strange choice to say the least. Share this post Link to post
Plok 319 Posted June 11, 2013 ENTRY 20 - June 11th, 2013RED ALERT 2 BETA VIDEO FOOTAGE There is a very small number of people who have seen actual RA2 beta footage other than the screenshots. Let us now change that, shall we? I'm sharing several rare videos: E3 2000 footage: Pre-release: Demo from Collector's Edition DVD: (notice some different unit looks and similar goodies) Trailer: Making of: Make some popcorn and enjoy Share this post Link to post
Nmenth 289 Posted June 11, 2013 Those old style nuclear explosions looked better, I wonder why they changed them... Share this post Link to post
PurpleGaga27 37 Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Something tells me we going to need a modified version of RA2 one day if excellent quality videos from the RA2 Collector's Edition DVD are to be included, because the original videos from RA2 are not of 480p quality.

Nyerguds 100 Posted June 13, 2013 but tanya blew stuff up, I guess she wasnt stealth but did she have invisibility or something?I think the point was that her bombing ability would've been moved to that second unit. And no, Tanya did not have any kind of invisibility. The only cloaking in RA is the submarine effect anyway, meaning it makes that silly submerging sound. Share this post Link to post
Plok 319 Posted June 13, 2013 ENTRY 22 - June 13th, 2013BULLThe Bull was a cut vehicle from Tiberium Wars which sports a similar appearance to the Predator Tank and uses the Mammoth Tank's treads. It appeared in The First Decade poster, but did not pass the concept stage.It was to be revived in TIBERIUM, but it was cut along with the game. The TIBERIUM version was lightweight enough to be airdropped by Ironside Transports. Share this post Link to post
Tore 33 Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) Do you SERIOUSLY think HD existed in 2000? The technology to record and display 1920 x 1080 (1080p) video existed in the 1980's My brother had a monitor that could display 1600 x 1200 resolution in 2002. Edited June 14, 2013 by Tore Share this post Link to post
Tore 33 Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) It was widely used in the digital/media industry, but not by consumers. If I remember correctly "Star Trek The Next Generation" was filmed with 4k cameras and that was in the early 90s. Edited June 14, 2013 by Tore Share this post Link to post
Plok 319 Posted June 14, 2013 Home media users did not have access to this at the time. Although I do not have the RA2 Collector's Edition disc (though I would like to), I can tell that DVD support on PCs was still new and Westwood was not ready to create a super-over-par-quality DVD (hint hint, VG) Share this post Link to post
Tore 33 Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) PC's have supported DVD disks since 1995. Though it was a mess until the 2000's due to different conflicting DVD standards and hardware such as MPEG accelerator cards.The same applied to DVD players. It wasn't widely used by consumers until at least 2004/2005. DVD's can't contain a lot of HD footage (720p/1080p) hence why they commonly feature enhanced definition (ED) footage (480p). But this is getting of track. I just wanted to point out that resolutions higher and similar to "HD" have existed longer than most people think. and has been commonly available to PC users for a long time. (Even some DOS games had 1024x768 display modes.) Edited June 14, 2013 by Tore 1 Share this post Link to post
Plok 319 Posted June 14, 2013 ENTRY 23 - June 14th, 2013ALIENS FROM TIBERIAN DAWN Tiberian Dawn is known to have a strange tile with a crashed aircraft. There've been many speculations on what this was, with the most popular theory being the one that says it is the earliest Scrin appearance in C&C lore. Although the question of that crash tile is still not answered, we do know that aliens were supposed to appear in Tiberian Dawn, at least according to concept art. This quasi-infantry unit is logged as an Alien Probe, capable of firing narrow plasma beams, possibly filling the anti-infantry role. So, if anyone says TD has Scrin, don't try to correct him Share this post Link to post
