I feel oblivious when it comes to the new Westwood title, C&C Generals. I noticed at Westwood.com’s official Red Alert 2 site has a list of gaming sites dedicated to the game. I thought maybe they meant C&C ‘in General’ sites. Then came across some news about the game and was enlightened. You see what having no internet connection for a while can do to ya? :/
Game Revolution has posted some screenshots and a mini preview of the game. In C&C Generals, players choose from 3 sides: the US and China, and an underground terror organization. Each has a different style. One thing mentioned in this preview is a September 11th question to Skaggs:
“We did heavily debate continuing the project. In the end, we determined that people still want to be entertained and warfare represented in certain ways remains thrilling. We definitely understood the need to be more careful and sensitive, and removed certain elements that may have otherwise been included at one time.”
C&C Generals uses Westwood’s SAGE engine, it has a scheduled release date of December 2002. w00t!
