Magazines PC Powerplay and PC Jeux released huge details this week about Command & Conquer 4. Here are some details.

From PCJEUX:

- Command & Conquer 4 will be the last C&C Tiberium game ever, after it's 15 year saga. EA is not ruling out the possibility of more games in the C&C franchise however.

- EA promises better videos. No more blue screens, only action. Commanders featured will not be passive. The tone of the videos will be much more serious and mature.

- The gameplay is much closer to an RPG, where in every fight, multiplayer or singleplayer, the experience will be won, and units will be improved. Also, the new unit "The Crawler" will play a very important role, it will be the battlecamp, and all units will be drawn to it. If the Crawler is destroyed, another one will arrive on the map in a safe place, like a FPS. During Crawler respawns, you get to choose it's class: Offensive, defensive, or utilitarian.

- Tiberium is harvested by a facility on a control point. I wonder if that means no more harvesters ... ?


From PC Powerplay:

- Scrin are no longer a playable faction and will not be explored any further. Scrin expansion will be possible however.

- The Forgotten will be present, but will not play a major role in the game. They will be neutral. You will be able to fight them for experience, or team up with them as allies.

- GDI and Nod will be the only playable factions this time around. There will be no less than 80 units per side.

- Support class crawlers can fly (The GDI support crawler is actually that large GDI aircraft from the mag's scanned pictures)

- The game is primarily focused around 5v5 objective based multiplayer.

- EA promises that the C&C world is not finished, C&C4 will just complete the story of Kane. You will learn who he is, where he comes from, and why he cares so much about Tiberium.

- There will be an application for your mobile.

- The Horizontal UI bar is not yet complete.


Also, since I seem to have not posted this yet, EA also announced to be able to play C&C4, you must be online at all times. So if you plan on playing C&C4 without an internet connection you better think again. Also, C&C4 will support DirectX 11!

Here are 11 new screenshots scanned from both of the magazines.






Thanks to 2kool4u526 and his thread for bringing this to my attention!

That must be why all the mechs have ugly feet - they must all have rockets in them! *half serious*

EDIT: Actually, if the crawler was replaced with Dropship or some such, that'd make a surprising amount of sense. Yeah... abandon crawlers, use Dropships...
