C&C3 360 dated, demo confirmed

for the person who asked why the 360 games cost less, and im no expert on this, so dont quote me, but p.c. games, while definitely harder to develop for, there is no charge to make software, while any company that makes a 360 game has to give microsoft a large amount of money. Hence the reason why microsoft and other companies make good money from these things - licensing fees. p.s. computers cost a hell of a lot more anyways. the 10$ a game you save on the p.c. games does not add up to the money you save from buying the 360 hardware.

i cant stop playing the demo, im in class now and can.t wait to get done so i can go to room and play. you know a game is fun when you are gettin own 2 out of 3 times and you still cant stop playing

really cannot wait for this, hitting the demo pretty hard right now. Hope they sort out the glitchy graphics though.

"lithus Man, this must really be eatin up the PC gaming purists inside. Consoles go online, web browsing, downloadable content, not to mention look just as good and now we're getting your precious RTS's to boot. Somewhere the editor and chief over at PCGAMER is developing a nervous twitch." Nope, they don't give a damn as long as the PC is a better RTS platform. "Titanfan2083 RTS will always be easier on a console, and thats a fact..........but hey im not gonne buy this for my 360 cuz i already got it for PC" RTS will always be easier on a console? What blasphemy is this?

"EA has taken the traditionally keyboard-and-mouse-centric controls of the RTS genre and adapted them for the Xbox 360." There are 2 USB ports on the front of the 360 just begging to have a mouse and keyboard plugged into them...It can't be THAT hard to allow mouse/keyboard support for console games. The controls for LOTR:BFME on 360 were mediocre, but still lacked the ease of the mouse/keyboard combo. I don't get why they won't suppport the only really good control scheme for RTS games considering all the hardware's in place.

BFME2 was good. Looking forward to this.

really looking 4ward to this! c&c rules

I'm very excited.... despite the fact that it runs pretty well on my definitely aging computer, I really would like to be able to play it on my tv, with a comfy controller, and over Live. One thing though... why in god's name is it $59.99??? It's straight up robbery in broad daylight, and it's getting old. It's one thing to pay 60 bucks for something as mind-bogglingly jaw-dropping as Gears of War, but it's quite another to be charged 60 bucks for a sharper version of The Godfather. 60 dollar games are supposed to cover the cost of "next-gen game development"... I'm pretty sure it's just as "next-gen" on the pc, and the game retails for 10 bucks less on that platform. I call shenanigans on that.

sounds cool. lets hope they can get the controls right... strategy games dont always work so well on consoles

Please, eliminate the mili second freezes that plagued BFMEII! I don't care about the frame rate as much (it was ok), but the pauses were extremely irritating.....

I really want to see how this works out on the 360.

For once in my life, I actually have trust in EA doing a good job on this. They did a brilliant Job on BFME2 so I cant wait to see how this is! Bring on the demo!

I have the Kane Edition for PC and it is great!!!!!! I'm glad it is coming out on 360 since my cousin has a old PC and plays 360 a lot. Is the 360 version gonna support mouse and keyboard???

RTS will always be easier on a console, and thats a fact..........but hey im not gonne buy this for my 360 cuz i already got it for PC

Man, this must really be eatin up the PC gaming purists inside. Consoles go online, web browsing, downloadable content, not to mention look just as good and now we're getting your precious RTS's to boot. Somewhere the editor and chief over at PCGAMER is developing a nervous twitch.

FYI: You don't need a beefy GPU to run this game

Im really looking forward to this game. It's just what the 360 needs, some more variety in the games library. As long as EA is very careful to make sure the control scheme works, I"m sure the game will be a success. I will probably be picking this one up pending positive reviews. These days games cost way too much to just blindly make a purchase no matter what the game is.

for the people saying that their graphics cards aren't that good for this game, you dont really need a high end video card to play this game at high settings. i play with everything maxed out at 1440x900 on my x1900gt (587/693) and get creamy smooth fps. a 7600 would probably be able to handle this game on all medium with good fps.

I'm looking forward to this release. Even though I'm historically a PC gamer, my PC needs an upgrade to play modern games, and I'm not ready to pay for that yet. So I might wind up with the 360 version. Would be really nice if they let PC and 360 owners meet up online. Isn't that what the Windows Live! experience is supposed to do for us?

Command & Conquer 3 on the Xbox 360 is a GREAT game! Being able to play Real-Time Strategy games like Command & Conquer 3, Lord or the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth, and the upcoming Halo Wars on the leading next-gen home console is a great thing, because it will let us sit back, relax, and look at our HDTV sets and listen to true 5.1 sound in our living room, while holding a controller in our hand while playing!

uhm... dudes if we live the same way as we are now it is more or less impossible for us to run out of water since we recycle it all the time... although I guess fresh water could be something to fight over..

--petejams -- hehehe...I was reffering to fresh water.

these type of games are never that good on any thing other than pc

Yes... more games to be dumbed down for console. At least there won't be any more elite games.

with global warming and polar ice caps melting, abundance of water is the least of our problems

I agree...RTS really need a keyboard and mouse. It will be net to see how that new controller with keypad works but even then. And I did play BFME and it worked better the I thought but still not as good. Also fighting over a natural resource?...forget oil wait till we run out of water!

can a usb mouse and keyboard be used on the 360 to play this? that would be awesome!

check out LOTR: BFME II on the 360 to see how well the 360 controller handles RTS. Although there are some frame rate issues with BFME II on the 360 the control system is excellent.

LOL @ THAT PICTURE CAPTION!!!!

I can't imagine how this game will play on a controller. I didn't like Starcraft nearly as much on the console as on PC...

I prefer to play rts games on a PC with mouse and keyboard but my current machine is way to old so I have to buy the 360 version if I want to play this in a near future, heh. I'm kinda concerned over the controls in the console version but It will probably feel pretty natural after playing for a couple of hours.

im gonna get the 360 version cuz my graphics card sucks ass

Also this was said in an interview recently about Final Fantasy In an interview with Les Derni ères Nouvelles d'Alsace, Georges Fornay, president of Sony Computer Entertainment France, hinted at the possibility ... Said Fornay, "As far as Final Fantasy XIII goes, I can tell you that the exclusivity is in discussion." Square-Enix has yet to comment on Fornay's statement.

Devil May Cry is coming to the 360 as well same with Assassin's Creed both are no longer PS3 exclusives.

This will be awsome!!!!!!!!

Im not really into C&C but i might give the demo a go.

you are a fanboy for listing Final fantasy

Oh and i forgot to list Resident Evil 5...yeah as u heard it

Ok, now im not trying to be a fanboy or anything but consider this....: xbox360 games coming out: -Tiberium wars -Mass Effect -Halo3 -Gears of war (already out there) -Plus Xbox Live downloadble content -Arcade games -Patches -Expansions -Plus ps3 games like: Devil May Cry, Ace Combat 6, Final Fantasy -AND achievements..... Do i need to say more?? I mean seriously, just think about it......and make your choice

i think this games gonna be good but i dont see why they just dont add a mouse and keyboard it would make controller users happy and keyboard users.

Hey kujel, PC might cost a whole lot more. But I can do a helluva lot more on my PC than I can on any console. So, if anything, you need to sit down and shut up. Prices of everything are on the rise: games, consoles, computer systems, computer components, etc. That's life. I accept that. So do everybody a favor and narrow down the scope of your argument before you go shooting your mouth off again.

w00t !!

Hope it has a very good play with 360 pad...

That is just too awesome. Can't wait to try it. Yes you can play this without a mouse. Play LOTR Battle for Middle Earth 2 and you'll see that it can be done.

any PS3 version on the way???

Can you play this without a mouse?

"Electronic Arts is convinced that there is a market for real-time strategy games on home consoles. Traditionalists believe that the PC is the only home for the RTS genre, but the publisher took the leap of faith with an Xbox 360 version of Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II last July," What a load of BS. Westwood Studios Made C&C Red Alert for the PS1, and it was an awesome game, especially when linked. MS and EA are so full of sheet.

wow a console rts i think this hole pc supremacy thing is so over blown a rts need a keyboaed and mouse the ps3 can allow that hello Einstein would say" port this game to the ps3 and make bank"

I want to play the Xbox 360 version, because I don't have a high-end PC, and I don't think my PC can run any new games. So I just play the Xbox 360 version without problems.

thats five days after mass effects... sorry c&c
