Command & Conquer 360
Author: Ryan GarsidePublished: 17th November 2006
Command & Conquer 3 is set to take war into the next generation with stunning visuals.
The news could entice a whole sector of gamers who were previously a bit put off by the console's lack of RTS games. With only Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth really flying the flag for RTS games on the 360, the addition of one of the most popular war strategy gaming franchise will certainly be welcomed.
Mike Glosecki, Senior Producer at EA LA had this to say:
“C&C 3 is a perfect fit for the Xbox 360. Xbox 360 players will enjoy the action-packed online play and watching the epic Sci-Fi story of the game unfold as they play through the single player campaign.”
The game is also due out for the PC and the early signs look pretty positive. Graphics look awesome and the storyline, a sci-fi affair set in 2047 that will see Earth teetering on the edge of destruction, looks fairly solid. On top of this EA has secured the voice-acting talents of some of Hollywood's big stars. Tricia Helfer (otherwise known as the really fit blonde bird from Battlestar Galactica), Josh Holloway (Sawyer from Lost) and Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian) amongst others. It's shaping up to be pretty awesome!
Why buy this game for the 360 and not the PC? EA is promising to utilise the full power of Xbox Live and allow for a smooth multiplayer experience. Not only this, EA is offering a 'steady stream' of downloadable content for wannabe generals to download. What will be really interesting is seeing whether this will allows PC gamers to play 360 gamers; in which case surely PC players would have an advantage?
Looking forward to Command & Conquer 3? Let us know in the forums.
