Considering EA's first screenshot of its new FPS C&C game, Tiberium, didn't give much away, you might still be wandering what the game's going to look like. The answer is: awesome.
As the 48 images below show, C&C Tiberium's dark and futuristic looks is packed with detail and large scale environments, with a unique art style.
As well as scenery shots, you will also find among the treats below the first in-game shots, showing the new FPS view in full swing.
For those of you that missed it, EA's official announcement read: "Tiberium is a mysterious extraterrestrial crystal that shatters the energy output of traditional fossil fuels. It has the power to save our civilization; it also has the power to destroy it. For eleven years, an alien tower has stood dormant, looming like an unholy mountain over a wasteland once known as the Mediterranean Sea.
"The tower was thought to be a relic of the Third Tiberium War; a devastating war fought for control over Tiberium crystal. It is not a relic. It is not dormant. Deep within the tower, plans are in motion for an alien invasion. This is where the Tiberium adventure begins."
Players step into the shoes of Forward Battle Commander Ricardo Vega and will assemble an assortment of elite squads to combat the global crisis. You'll be armed with plenty of C&C weapons including a transforming personal weapon system, multi-launch homing missiles, capital ship bombardments and tactical ion cannon strikes.
The game aims to blend first-person shooting and tactical squad combat into one, where you control multiple infantry, armour, and air squads. The squads are your most decisive weapon, not the rocket launcher.
Tiberium will be available worldwide in autumn 2008 for PS3, 360 and PC.
looks like old C&C fps, i.e. rather crap, why cant ea with use of the unreal 3 engine, the crysis engine, the black engine or heck even the source engine or the doom 3 one use one of them ones, because right now this is looking pish
What screenshots were you guys looking at?, and i was certain some of those were actual ingame screenies.
None of those even remotely reminded me of Renegade, this is alot darker and alot bigger to if you want to compare which i guess we do, but from what has been said you control squads so its definately not your typical run and gun FPS like Renegade was but more of a FPS version of GRAW.
I for one im looking forward to this as im a huge C&C fan and its nice that the whole Renegade thing hasn't put them off trying the FPS genre again and come autumn 08 we'll find out if its good or not.
what about medal of honor frontline and allied assault? both are very good games which i still play today, im actually looking forward to this, i rarely played renegade as im mainly focused on playing each game in order of the series, but my impression on renegade i find it alright, as im a FPS player and i love C&C, i will be getting this
"Picks jaw up off the floor!" WOW!!!! Those look epic indeed. Dark, moody, you actually get to enter the decamated world of C&C 3. Well, these screenshots have sold it for me, I'm a buyer for this game when it comes out.
