Command & Conquer Enters the Guinness World Records

[Sonic 296]

A franchise as huge and popular as Command & Conquer can now claim two records in the recently released Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition 2008 annual. This was reported via the Official C&C Site....

 

LONGEST RUNNING ACTOR IN A VIDEOGAME SERIES

Joe Kucan has played the part of Kane, the villainous mastermind of the Command & Conquer series, for 14 years, from the very first game, Command & Conquer, to the latest game, Kane's Wrath, which is based entirely around his character. He has only been absent from two of the twelve games in the series; Command & Conquer: Generals and Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 (for which he also directed the cutscenes). By good fortune, his appearance has hardly changed over the years, making him a truly versatile character actor.

 

FIRST INTEGRATED COMMENTARY SYSTEM

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars on the PC has the first built-in-game commentary system. Called Battlecast, it’s designed to make it one of the pre-eminent competitive games in the modern world. Not only does it allow players to broadcast their games either live or as replays, but it also has its own show, "Battlecast Primetime", broadcast in high-definition at commandandconquer.com. Moreover, selected viewers can provide commentary on the match for thousands of other players and draw on the map using simple tools inspired by MS Paint and sports commentary.

Take that all you StarCraft fans! Arguably Command & Conquer is still the one true king in the RTS market.

Epic!

Starcraft isn't a franchise though, as its only one game... At the moment.

 

But go C&C!

I think South Korea is a good substitute for qualification as a franchise.

Lawl Guinness World Records. This calls for celebration! No RTS title can beat C&C!
