Dodo dodo dodo DO...
I'm not sure if any of the original developers are working on it, but its great they've brought back Kane, and the in-between cut-scenes that were missing in Generals.
Just as a correction, there are 3 series of Command & Conquer.
The original consisting of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn (though is just known as Commant & Conquer), C&C Tiberian Sun and now Command & Conquer Tiberian Wars.
The second is the alternate universe where hitler was removed, Red Alert. Followed by Red Alert 2.
And there's Generals.
The original series has always followed the Tiberian storyline, and Tiberian played a large part in the original story. After all, Kane's fight for power was over Tiberian.
Admittedly, Tiberian Sun was a bit of a let down, and I have always preferred the Red Alert series (and was suprised to see Kane appear at the end of the first Red Alert game...)
The fact a third faction is involved does concern me...they've gone all Starship Troopers bringing in giant alien bugs to battle against. Not my cup of tea but I'm willing to give it a try...
I wasn't overly keen on the Tiberium Sun game, due to the yellow walking toilet cubicles equipped with machine guns (which were quite useless and looked daft). If I want a walking cubicle, it could at least come fully equipped with some bog roll instead.
Whatever the game is like, I'll certainly go out and buy it, they have had enough time and experience building these games, so no real reason why this can't be really good.
Here's hoping for another good follow up!
