Command and Conquer Generals

story about a
brand new Command and Conquer game that is in all 3D. It's called C&C
Generals and has the US and China fighting against a terrorist organization. The
article is like that
Metal
Gear Solid 2 story they did last year. It takes you through the whole
genesis of the project and introduces the development team."
I was invited over for a sneak-preview earlier this year by Mark Skaggs, and I'll tell you one thing: the rotation potential (of the 3D) graphics on this game, especially the scenery, is two generations of anything currently available on the market.
A lot of thought has also been put into the units and plot of the game, it hasn't been an ad-hoc composition of cliched parts as many games in the last few years have been in terms of storyline/plot.The C&C Generals team are really friendly guys, and work in a relaxed atmosphere, which is important in any game production unit. I'll have to give a thumbs up to this game, and highly recommend it. The guys have worked hard on it and deserve success with it. Unfortuantely I have a feeling that the User interface won't go down extremely well with most consumers, but I understand them trying to break away from the traditional style of UI driving.
Anyway, it should be a cracker of a game.cheers,
