PC Game Trailer Round Up
May 20, 2006
There are two game trailers that caught my eye this week, which are: Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.
The Quake Wars is a trailer composed entirely of gameplay footage, from a third person pov. The game looks very much like Battlefield 2, what makes it different is that it takes place in the not to distant future. This game is going to blow Halo2 and Battlefield 2142 out of the water for sure. id Software never fails to deliver when it comes to their Quake series. No word yet on when this game will be released. Check out the trailer below:
Command & Conquer 3 is currently in development at EALA, it will ship in 2007 for Windows PC. Here is an excerpt from an April 20, 2006 press release:
“Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars combines fast-paced gameplay with new ways to tell a story in an RTS game,” said Mike Verdu, Executive Producer at EA Los Angeles (EALA). “We’re building a next generation Command & Conquer game that is true to the spirit of this classic franchise, but is updated with state-of-the-art visuals, added strategic depth, and gameplay innovations that will move the genre forward. I am very excited to be working on this amazing game.”
