Command & Conquer 3 (360) Review

[QUOTE="TekkenMaster606"]7 in graphics compared to PCs 9. :lol:ANti_RiCeR

ouch

not suprised.  it's built on the same engine LoTR:BFME2 was built on.  They probably need to scrap the whole engine and start over for the 360 to take full advantage of the 360.  But knowing EA, they'll just ride it 'til the wheels fall off. 

[QUOTE="peacebringer"][QUOTE="billing"][QUOTE="peacebringer"][QUOTE="TekkenMaster606"]

Based upon the review it looks like the controls are pretty solid. Kudos to the Xbox 360 for being able to pull this off.

 

But graphically, well, 2nd place isn't so bad. PS3 owners won't be playing this.

billing

Yes, Give EA credit!

Also give Microsoft credit for believing that EA can bring a good RTS to consoles.

Maybe if Sony get their Head out of the gutter,

PS3 might get some decent games.

I'm pretty sure Microsoft tossed EA some $$ to Develop the RTS games on the 360,

Something Sony was reluctant to do.

Why do you think it's 360/PC exclusive.

LOL,

Whatever lets you sleep at night. 

:D

I hope this opens the door for Blizzard to bring Frozen Throne to the 360,

That'd be great.

Too busy developing Starcraft MMO?

I have no idea.

But If this games sell a million,

Be ready for more RTS coming 360's way.

Oh yeah if the Game was ported to the PS3 the graphic score would be throught the roof :roll:

When did he mention the PS3? You do know that he's a PC supporter, right?

I mention the PS3 since we are comparing Console vs PC

Yes he is a PC supporter with his crosshairs aimed at 360 while the PS3 is struggling to run Fear.

And I care because? I may own a few Sony machines but hell, what does that have to do with the 360 in this hermit's crosshairs?

Do you have such blind hatred for the 360 that you cant understand that its accomplished what no other console has to this point? Successfully translating RTS series that generally are only good on PC to a console and getting an 8.7 in the process? Since when is that an excuse to bash the 360? Nobody ever said the 360 version was better than the PC version by any means.

You seem to give Sony a pass on a lot of topics.

They didn't sell me an console a 2003, 2 years after it's launch, that basically rolled over and died in 2005. The ShortlifespanBox! Although they sold me a $600 on in 2006 that's currently functioning as some kind of high-tech movie device. In 2008, Sony may be at the top of my (@!* list.

Ooh, the Xbox 360 achieves a technical feat in getting a decent RTS game. :roll: The superior version is still $10 less.

Usually games that originate on PC are superior on PC and games originally built on console are superior on console. This is not some new phenomenon.

I gave my opnion of the game some post up. I don't think it had much hate. 

I would just like to pat myself on the back because I predicted the score but I didn't think the low point would be graphics...

wow ,nice score..i guess devs arent lazy after all.

[QUOTE="TekkenMaster606"]7 in graphics compared to PCs 9. :lol:Felous1

No way ! I was expecting the 360 version to look better..

:? 

pc has been more powerful than x360 since its launch so what did you expect from a pc port?

I think the PC gamers are afraid that C & C will be the new Rainbow Six and leave it roots of PC gaming and switch to console gaming.

Pretty good score.  I'm picking this up today.

Also, to those complaining abuot the graphics never played BFME:2 on the 360.  C & C 3 looks amazing compared to that.  Big deal if it doesn't looks as good as it does on a super high end PC, it look great for a 360 game.

[QUOTE="TekkenMaster606"]7 in graphics compared to PCs 9. :lol:skbmassive

A console is not a PC and half of the people playing on the PC wouldn't get 9 graphics unless they have a top of the line video card, cpu and memory.  I still i find it really dumb that people actually come here to compare consoles to a PC.

exactly its dumb as hell. If people can't see the logic when comparing pc's to consoles then they are blind. I never add pc games to console games cause eventually the pc game would be better because all the stuff you can do. Consoles are basically a even playn feild

they have something to do with this because they made the 360 easy to develop for. They made the 360 similar to a pc just like you said

Hermits sho love getting stuff for free,

No wonder Developers are leaving the PC.

360 wont be able to compete with any console but the wii graphically after christmas. no suprisee20Dylan

By your "logic", the PS3's take on F.E.A.R. means it'll be doing good to compete with PCs from 2 years ago. 

[QUOTE="smokeydabear076"][QUOTE="cobrax75"]

COH>Supcom>C&C3

 

I really dont understand how Supcom got a lower score then C&C3 either.

unless you have a very old PC....chances are you can play it now.

lol whats old? a year old? because you play this game on any thing older and you get anymore hten 30 units on screen and the game starts shuttering just as bad as the 360 when the 30 units are on screen.

You must have a VERY old computer if you can't even run this... :roll: 

Getting this on Friday for 360, I'm not surprised the graphics only got a 7, I mean it's no gears of war is it. RTS are the PC's bread and butter, it's easier to judge the graphics of a PC RTS than a 360 RTS. From the demo I think the graphics are fine for 360 and I saw no slowdown, I'm sure it will be fine.

Anyway who plays RTS for the graphics?, no one I hope.

Graphics are just as important in RTS as they are in every other Genere......

games like COH and supcom, really would be different if it wasnt for their graphics....Destructive enviroments in COH completly change the way the game works...and massive battles in supcom do the same.... 

[QUOTE="TekkenMaster606"]7 in graphics compared to PCs 9. :lol:ANti_RiCeR

I was expecting a 7 in Gameplay, not Graphics.

Well I think graphics are more important in FPS and racers than RTS, but I see your point. I never said graphics don't add anything to a RTS, I said people don't buy RTS games for the graphics, it's one genre that has a very picky user base, you either buy RTS like Warcraft, Starcraft, AOE, or you're on the other side of the fence and prefer the more arcady C&C series, graphics don't really come into it, it it did all those  Koreans would have moved on from Starcraft, but they didn't.
