Sonic 292 Posted April 20, 2006 As posted on the main page with the press release..... The new C&C3 logo: Concept art (big image this one): I think the new logo is ok, the C&C text could be better though. Share this post Link to post
BWare 0 Posted April 20, 2006 Football pads... what's up with that? They're kinda starting to scare me... Also, what's with the idea of the Tiberium infested zones becoming dead wastelands? Tiberium is supposed to mutate it into something alien... not just kill the landscape. It looks like they'll be switching focus away from the whole mutation aspect Share this post Link to post
Saracen 16 Posted April 20, 2006 As I posted in the News comments: 2 problems with that Concept art 1) Tiberium Doesn't grow on trees, the trees get mutated into more Organic type living plants and they spray gas. And the fauna in the area, they also become somewhat organic themselves. Here we see a standard tree with crystals. 2) Tiberium On the ground is inconsistant with other C&C's as well. The crystals came out of a wooden bulb type trunk. This Tiberium however comes out the ground. There also seems to be very little gas vapour coming from this Tiberium considering it is spread all over the picture. If they can make these simple mistakes at concept stages, hell knows it'll be like at game level. Share this post Link to post
Saracen 16 Posted April 20, 2006 The only thing I can think of is that they are in a Blue Zone. They've obviously found a way to kill Tiberium using the information from the tacitus and what is left is the solid crystals. Still doesn't explain the crystals on the trees, unless this is what a mutated tree's sap creates before returning to normal. But with all these dead crystals, I wonder if you can make lightsabers outta them? Cool, Darth Kaneous Vs Obi Wan Solomani Share this post Link to post

Guest MadBadger Posted April 21, 2006 ...... Any one noticed the Big suits? Radiation suits?........ TB kills by emiting high levels of radiation (read the mag..... theres a science bit about TB makes ok sense ) anyhow.... V Share this post Link to post
Thierry 0 Posted April 21, 2006 Those guys have their heads out in the open :/ They should be dead/become viceriods :/ Share this post Link to post
BWare 0 Posted April 21, 2006 Also... TIBERIUM ISN'T RADIOACTIVE. It's far deeper than that... it's all chemical and biological That's a real copout. Man, I really hope they don't change the whole concept of Tiberium on us. That would suck. It's supposed to be a living, crystalline thing that is slowly mutating the world... not a bunch of radioactive crystals that pointlessly clog the landscape :roll: It seems like they may be taking the depth and mystery out of it Share this post Link to post
Saracen 16 Posted April 21, 2006 I spoke with Aaron about this issue, he says that it is just concept art, they know what they are doing and not to read too much into this one image.... There's one hell of a ride still to come! :wink: Share this post Link to post

Thou what is said kinda makes sense...... mind you.... Tacitus Share this post Link to post
TheBlackOut 6 Posted April 22, 2006 I just think its a mutative crystal. Share this post Link to post

Sonic 292 Posted April 22, 2006 Who at EA are you sleeping with King?! =DYou always have the inside knowledge - knew about C&C3 before us poor chumps too didnt you? It's just Aaron Kaufman (APOC) the community manager. He is only an e-mail away to the Webmasters :wink: As for C&C King knowing about this before others, CNCNZ.com was invited to EALA last year for the community summit, King went on the trip representing us.

gammyleg 0 Posted April 22, 2006 As for C&C King knowing about this before others, CNCNZ.com was invited to EALA last year for the community summit, King went on the trip representing us. Man, thats pretty freakin' sweet. Was the summit for EA / C&C / BFME community ? Share this post Link to post
Saracen 16 Posted April 22, 2006 Primarily for the BfME community, but he invited certain members of the C&C, Rise of Nations and even a member of the Starcraft communities to take a look. The latter 2 also ran BfME sites as a side project like we do with Empire at War. So that's how they got to go. Share this post Link to post
gammyleg 0 Posted April 23, 2006 Back on topic, I saw this over at PC&C - http://planetcnc.gamespy.com/screenshots/?ss=301 Well, that explains the suits... Share this post Link to post
Alphabear 11 Posted April 23, 2006 Yeah saw that one too. Could be a bit painful Share this post Link to post
Saracen 16 Posted April 23, 2006 It makes me laugh, I could be dropping blatent facts and hints about this game and people will not pick it up. Share this post Link to post

gammyleg 0 Posted April 27, 2006 noones really said anything about this pic - i like it. nicely futuristic and hes carry a normal sized weapon! http://www.cncnz.com/image.php?image=/knew...cc3_soldier.png Share this post Link to post
BWare 0 Posted April 27, 2006 Yes, that is MUCH better. The helmet is a little funky, but no complaints here. It IS the Tiberian universe, after all. Also, do you notice the raised box under his skin on his right arm? That's interesting... Share this post Link to post
