OK, a huge week for the gaming industry. What chance does C&C 3 hold to gain your cash, with heavyweights such as these? And where will it be in the charts?

[Mario 0]

its fairly obvious C&C 3 is gonna win hands down

[TheBlackOut 6]

No Supreme Commander or World in Conflict? ****ed up list, truly is.

[Saracen 16]

SupCom and WiC are not being released in this week. These games will take the number 1 spot in their respective release weeks, there's no doubt in that. What I'm interested in is the huge competition for sales C&C 3 has in this single week alone, regardless of releases in pre or post weeks.

 

The clue to what the list is about is the header at the top! :wink:

[TheBlackOut 6]

I figured with all those great games on the list they all can't be released within a week of each other, but God damn they are!

[Guest Auronguardian]

Its going to be a tight battle between Spore and C&C, as Spore was given over 4 awards at E3 06 and is being created by Will Wright, a man who has established himself as one of the most reputable developers today as he has amassed millions of dollars off of the most successful Sims franchise.

[Guest Rabbit]

True, but people must also remember these include different Genres. C&C 3 is an RTS, and spore is... what, a sim?

[Sonic 293]

The C&C label generates sales. Its one of the the most popular franchises on the planet. It will top the sale charts, there is no doubt about it. C&C 3 will stay on top until the next hot game gets released.

 

I'm waiting for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl as well. It was meant to be released way back in 2004 around the same time as Half-Life 2.

[Koen 2]

C&C3 will be a 2nd place - right after Crysis. I think Spore is overrated. Anyone play SimEarth - same concept, same Will Wright, but really weird game.

[BWare 0]

Wooooow... that is quite a list! And on the same day! Unbelievable. There are a couple there that I must own, so I'm thinking that's going to be a tough day on my wallet :shock:

[Mario 0]

C&C3 will be a 2nd place - right after Crysis. I think Spore is overrated. Anyone play SimEarth - same concept, same Will Wright, but really weird game.

 

C&C 3 will be in 1st place silly person

[Alphabear 11]

im gonna have to agree with koen, Crisis will take top spot

[Sonic 293]

Crysis and its extreme system requirements will see it fall short of the number 1 spot.

[Luk3us 63]

Umm... Does it mean something that I only recognize three of those games? C&C included?

 

I'm so out of touch. :cry:

[Alphabear 11]

Since when does the average person look at system requirements?

[Luk3us 63]

Usually after they're installed the game and its not going...

[Alphabear 11]

nah its usually after they have posted numerous messages on the companies troubleshooting forums about how the game is stupid because it doesnt work and how there never gonna buy a game from that company again etc.

[TheBlackOut 6]

C&C3 will be a 2nd place - right after Crysis. I think Spore is overrated. Anyone play SimEarth - same concept, same Will Wright, but really weird game.

 

Are you mad? Spore is going to be awesome! Reason it won't make like top-dog quality is most people don't have the attention span to play games like that, they need explosions and crap.

 

nah its usually after they have posted numerous messages on the companies troubleshooting forums about how the game is stupid because it doesnt work and how there never gonna buy a game from that company again etc.

 

then one of their favorite series gets a new game from that same company two days later and they pre-ordered it.

 

true though bout not looking at specs for most. friend was talking bout getting WoW and I lol'd in his face cuz his comp cant handle it.

[F15pilotX 4]

C&C3 will be a 2nd place - right after Crysis. I think Spore is overrated. Anyone play SimEarth - same concept, same Will Wright, but really weird game.

Have you even watched the demo video released on it? That game looks amazing! I've never played SimEarth, but I doubt it's a repeat of that game :wink:

 

@if your friend wants to play any games soon, he'll need to look at an upgrade :lol:

[Gen. Yuri 0]

Maelstrom and STALKER for the win!!
