EA Reveals Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars: Kane Edition
http://www.ea.com/article.jsp?dcr=ea&id=cnc3tw_kane
The Ultimate Edition for Every Command & Conquer Fan — Packed with Bonus Content
LOS ANGELES, Calif., December 22, 2006 – Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars™: Kane Edition (C&C 3: Kane Edition) - a special, numbered collector’s edition for the PC that will ship in March 2007 simultaneously with Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars™ (C&C 3). Filled with an enormous amount of exclusive content, C&C 3: Kane Edition will be the definitive collectible for any Command & Conquer™ or Real-time Strategy (RTS) game fan.
C&C 3: Kane Edition will include an exclusive bonus DVD featuring a behind the scenes documentary, deleted scenes and a blooper reel from the live action video shoots, a series of gameplay strategy videos from the game designers themselves, and more. C&C 3: Kane Edition will also feature exclusive in-game content including five new multiplayer maps and three unique unit skins—one for each of the three factions in the game. Fans will also enjoy five exclusive wallpapers.
“The Command & Conquer fans are among the most dedicated in the world. It’s very exciting to be able to create a special bonus edition of C&C 3 with our fans in mind,” said Mike Verdu, Vice President and Executive Producer at EALA. “The exclusive maps, strategy tutorials, special unit skins and ‘making of’ video provide hours of enjoyment to anyone who loves Command & Conquer. The ‘blooper reel’ is just flat out funny. I can’t wait for Command & Conquer fans to get their hands on this game.”
Command & Conquer, the groundbreaking series that put the RTS genre on the map, is returning in full force with C&C 3. This highly-anticipated next chapter takes the popular series back to its roots in the Tiberium Universe and features the fast, fluid gameplay that Command & Conquer is known for and an epic tale that will redefine storytelling in RTS games.
It is 2047 and the stakes could not be higher. Tiberium—a self-replicating alien substance that has infected the Earth—is spreading like a radioactive ice age. The Global Defense Initiative, a high-tech alliance of the world’s most advanced nations, is fighting to contain Tiberium, but Kane, the megalomaniacal leader of The Brotherhood of Nod has other plans for Earth. Kane’s secret society turned superpower is bent on using Tiberium to take control and transform humanity into his twisted vision of the future. All-out war rages over Tiberium and the fate of the planet rests in the balance.
The epic story of C&C 3, set in the Tiberium Universe, is seamlessly tied together with live action, high-definition video sequences featuring top Hollywood talent including Tricia Helfer, Josh Holloway, Michael Ironside, Billy Dee Williams, Grace Park, and more.
Currently in development at EA’s Los Angeles studio, C&C 3 and C&C 3: Kane Edition will ship worldwide in March 2007 for Windows PC. C&C 3 has a suggested retail price (MSRP) of $49.99 and C&C 3: Kane Edition will be available at select retailers with a MSRP of $59.99. C&C 3 will also be available in 2007 for the Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system. These products are not yet rated by the ESRB, PEGI or USK.

I have a 7800GT and even with that card generals sometimes ran really slow especially when there was the greens smoke after a nuke blast. my computer even with 2GB of ram with a 3.6 processor couldn't handle it.
I wanted to upgrade my card at the end of the year, but probably will do it sooner because of this game and i want to get into 2142.
My only thing is I hope to god they support 2560 x 1600 if they don't

The original RA was the best! Counterattack and Aftermath too, or whatever they were called. And the chick who played Tanya in RA2 was totally bonkable.
Rising Sun always scared me.... I was like 11 or something when I started playing it. Those little green gas blobs always scared the crap out of me.

Anyone get it yet? It just came in today at the CC I work at. Good reviews from what I've heard. What do you guys think though?
With my incredibly shitty employee discount, if anything I'll probably get a 10 cent (not percent) discount.

i dunno imo those graphics dont amaze me, if you look at that one picture where it shows a mountain cliff, just looks like the texture was stretched
and i dont remember if C&C 1 and 2 had cut scenes but if they did i hope they kept them there despite how cheesy they were

I've been looking at performance tests with it, it seems to run well on slightly older hardware, unlike that new supreme commander game. I think I'll buy it and load it on my laptop. Hopefully it will take me away from sim city.

Okay just finished played the first 2 GDI missions and I am thoroughly impressed.
The game plays like Generals, but feels like Red Alert 2. This is due to the FMV screens, which finally get you into the story more and engrosses you. The graphics are excellent, even on my Radeon 9800 Pro.
For those on the fence, go out and buy it. As I said before, it's 39.99 at Circuit City for the non-Kane edition.
