Command & Conquer: The first decade

[Frank]

Experience the award-winning Command & Conquer (C&C) series like never before! Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced, Command & Conquer The First Decade, one of the largest PC franchise compilations to date. Scheduled for release in February 2006, the title celebrates the 10th anniversary of this innovative franchise. This special collector's edition will include a dozen of your favorite C&C games spanning over the last ten years plus a bonus DVD of commemorative video features.

With over 23 million units sold worldwide to date, the C&C franchise has defined the Real-time strategy (RTS) genre with cutting-edge visuals, epic storylines, and rich mission complexities. The series has evolved over a decade, spawned over a dozen titles, and continues to be the genre benchmark by which all RTS games are measured. With its explosive style of warfare, the C&C franchise has grown over the years to span multiple fictional genres, including the science fiction Tiberium universe, the revisionist history of the Red AlertTM universe, and a twist on modern warfare with Command & ConquerTM Generals.

"Command & Conquer The First Decade offers RTS gamers a way to relive the history of C&C, and I'm thrilled to see this collection offered in one package," said Louis Castle, VP of Creative Development at EALA. "It seems like yesterday when we were all pleasantly surprised by the way the gaming community wanted to play this new type of strategy game."

The Command & Conquer The First Decade bonus DVD will feature a half-dozen exclusive video features including an interview with Louis Castle, who is also co-founder of Westwood Studios the creator of the C&C franchise. As a special bonus, C&C fans also have the opportunity to be featured on the exclusive DVD.

Personnellement, c'est un achat pour moi, si c'est pas abusif comme prix... Un must IMO!

[pwel]

Je savais pas qu'il y avait eu autant de CC...

mais si c'est juste un bunch of old games + bonus dvd why buy it?

[Mike]

J'imagine qu'ils ont retravaillé la compatibilité Windows XP dans les premier CC parce que dans mes souvenirs, ca chie.

[Frank]

J'imagine qu'ils y travaillent, vu que ça sort qu'en février...

En réponse à Pwel, bah parce que j'ai trippé sur tous, juste moins sur Generals et que je les ai tous piratés... Alors ça me ferait plaisir d'acquérir le package, en me disant que c'est pour Westwood que je le fais, non pas pour EA...

[pwel]

C'est sorti sur TB!! Je sais pas si c'est en magasin pour ceux qui veulent la retail version mais si vous avez un peu plus de 7gig de lousse sur votre pc vous pouvez commencer le dld en toute illégalité! Enjoy!

50$ au FutureShop, m'a aller chercher ça vers la fi nde la semaine!

Dual-layer DVD!

Command & Conquer: Renegade 2 was to be another first-person shooter C&C game using an updated version of the "Westwood 3D" engine. It was presented to Electronic Arts and cancelled due to poor sales of Renegade 1 caused by wide spread piracy of the game.

Westwood was one of the best game company...

Moi aussi j'ai joué à chaqun d'entre eux surtout red alert 1 et 2 mais je trouve que les plus récents sont moins intéressants.

J'ai hate de voir la compatibilité WinXp des premieres versions.
