[Sonic 296]

In less than 17 hours (from the time of this news update) the first official trailer for the new C&C FPS, Tiberium, will debut exclusively at GameTrailers.com. If you visit GameTrailers.com now, you can see the count down clock. The exact time is Friday, January 18th at 9 AM (Pacific Time). For people on the other side of the world, that would be Saturday, January 19th at 6 AM (New Zealand Time).

 

Thanks to Hagren from our forums for letting me know.

Aah so I do have a reason to wake up tomorrow!

Wake up. Yes.

6am. Er... no.

 

In the mean time - check out the mario v halo movie that's over there! That was pretty cool!

[Sonic 296]

6 AM New Zealand time, 4 AM Aussie time..... so even earlier for you

[Inferno 22]

Oh, only three hours from now. That's just before dinner

1 and a half hours! Cant wait!

[Inferno 22]

Only 10 secs! Now that's what I call timing!

 

*watching it now*

[JahSpoR 0]

mee too.

[Inferno 22]

Cool. It doesn't show much we don't already know, but it does kinda make me enthousiastic for TIBERIUM!

[The Nker 0]

Watched it. Doesn't show too much, but awesome nonetheless.

[JahSpoR 0]

That was nice!!

Love the sound that helmet made.. "Combat system online" that sounded like old EVA

[Inferno 22]

I didn't even notice that... better go watch again

[recover 2]

"Old" EVA?

What's if she's offended by that?

 

Anyway, pretty cool. Wish it would show more than just a basic cinematic though...

P.S. Now we know what Richardo Vega looks like

[Inferno 22]

Ricardo's bad*ss

 

Oh and I love the tiberium-wasted body in the beginning

Did you notice the tiberium-mutated crabs?

I was surprised how story-driven they make the game out to be. And we can have tons of CGI movies now in a CnC game again?

 

Sound and art direction is flawless.

Did you notice the tiberium-mutated crabs?

Yeah. But then again, they could also be mutated insects or something...

We need CGI's! That's probably one of the points why renegade SP failed.

They are crabs. That desert was a sea once. Didn't you notice the ships?

 

BTW, doesn't the EA logo in the puddle at the very beginning remind you of the Renegade intro?

[JahSpoR 0]

Yeah a lttile..

exept some wanna be james bond junior face appears in renegade

[hagren 0]

inferno: It absolutely did!

The trailer is some impressive marketing, I will say that... Should get you C&C fans pumped. It's gotta convince the ex-C&C fans though. Us Petro fanboys don't budge easy.

 

While this game will surely be a success in areas. I'm looking at several key areas that might be of concern.

 

• - EALA have to understand that the FPS market is different. A truly great FPS will need a good storyline if it is to be remembered as more than just a community loved game.

 

[*] Squad Control - This could so fall flat on it's face and die. While I'm sure they'll believe it's going to work. If the AI does not respond to actions in a SP environment. Tiberium can kiss it's ass goodbye.

 

[*] Epic Sci-Fi - Big bold statements... again. Yes we all know that the reviewers will kiss EA's ass and say it will be... But you don't wanna be making statements. Even Crysis wasn't Epic Sci-fi and that was the best FPS of 2007 in my opinion. The original Half Life on the other hand, that's Epic Sci-fi... and nothing has come close to it still.

But yeah, good trailer. We'll just see if the game can be any better than the hype it's now created.

Hopefully. They did say though that the AI was of paramount importance.
