EA's C&C 3 Community Summit Report

[Sonic 296]

EA have posted their own report about last month's C&C 3 Community Summit on the Official C&C 3 Site. It's a very detailed report with plenty of photos. Here is a sample.

 

The morning kicked off with Vice President and Executive Producer Mike Verdu giving our community leaders a brief overview of the game and revealing the third faction to fans outside the EALA studio for the first time. Their eyes popped with excitement when they saw the alien-like creatures on the screen. Its spine tingling the first time you see the Annihilator Tripod unit stomping on infantry and obliterating Mammoth Tanks with its disintegrating lasers.

 

Following this, Producers Amer Ajami and Jim Vessella, along with Designers Greg Black and Jason Bender, then discussed our User Interface and the overall tri-fecta faction design (did you already forget, GDI and Nod have an Alien faction to deal with as well now!). While there are similar and contrasting design aspects to each of the three factions, the critical importance to their design is their strikingly different play-style. Seeing and hearing is not the same as playing,—community leaders would get their hands-on shot later in the day.
