Command & Conquer Team Take On LoTR RTS

Posted by simoniker on from the franchise-of-the-kerchings dept.

Thanks to GameSpy for their unveiling of a new PC real-time strategy title based on the Lord Of The Rings movies. Not to be confused with Vivendi's book-based War Of The Ring RTS we covered a couple of days back, in this title, "EA and the C&C Generals team are bringing their own brand of RTS gameplay to Tolkien's world.", and the tech demo screenshots from this large-scale, early-in-development title look intriguing, as the developers try to "capture the epic cinematic flavor of the three film's battles (including Helm's Deep, Ithilien, and Minas Tirith) by combining content from all the movies."

    The wonderfully optimized Generals engine Plus thousands of units? You better have something serious in your beige box. Probably powered by a Mr. Fusion, and cooled with liquid nitrogen.
