About Jet Set Games:

Quote:

Swords, Sorcery, Spies and More!
Jet Set Games develops titles for mobile devices, web browsers and consoles. Games that bear the Jet Set moniker feature elegant design, simple controls, and usually a good dose of off-the-wall humor.

Our top work includes Highborn, a critically and commercially successful casual strategy game for iOS, Android and Chrome; Conspiracy, a spy-based action/puzzler for PlayStation®Home; and plenty of amusing clothing, costumes and furniture PlayStation Home DLC items.

Jet Set Games was founded by a couple of guys with a an average of 20 years of video game industry experience, working on titles ranging from Command & Conquer, Dune, Blade Runner, and MAG to name a handful.
Since 2008, we’ve built a team of the most talented game developers for every platform imaginable, and set up shop in one of the coolest places on the planet — VEGAS BABY!

Jet Set games is composed of developers of past C&C games (yes, the original ones from Westwood!), and they develop iPhone and iPad games. So perhaps we might see a C&C clone for the iPad/iPhone, sort of like how StarFront: Collision, an iPad/iPhone game, is a clone of StarCraft.

Jet Set Games is lead by Brett Sperry & Rade Stojsavljevic, who are former Westwood Employees. They worked on the first 3 or 4 C&Cs (TD through to RA2). Sperry is the co-creator of C&C and the man behind the Tiberium universe, mostly. He's also the co-founder of Westwood Studios, alongside Louis Castle, who works at Zynga. Rade was producer on Tiberian Sun and Firestorm.

This looks very similar to C&C. The tanks on the right also look very Russian, and one looks like a Russian version of the Predator from Tib Wars, whereas the other looks like a Mammoth Tank or Overlord, with a paintjob and design that also reminds of the Flame Tank from Tiberian Dawn. The ones on the right look like real-life Chinese tanks. Judging from this picture, it looks indeed like it could be some kind of Generals/Red Alert/Tiberian Dawn type of game. (near future) It seems Generals 2 might have some competition?

They actually reminded me a lot of RA3 designs.

Reminds me more of Generals 1 if you ask me. That tank looks just like the Chinese Emperor from ZH pictured here.

Umm I don't see it at all tbh. The 'Mammoth' pictured has only 2 treads as far as we can see and a very curvy streamlined turret completely unlike the Overlord which has every gadget/weapon thrown in Scrapheap Challenge style.

I think alex needs to check his eyes than just go its similar as i see double barrels!

The whole armor is more sloped and wayyy more curvy and various differencies and blocky factor in china tank is just way more.

Still game of little interest if not coming for PC, potentially niche game.

Welp, this game is doomed.

I dunno. It looks neat. Too bad I'll probably never get to play it.

That's pretty much what I thought. Too much cynicism, perhaps?

Better not be a mobile game or whatever.

Anyone else read the thread title as Jet Set Radio RTS?

Where's Pepzi when you need some of that blind WW fanboyism?

FurryQueen · General **Joined**: 24 Jul 2010 **Location**: Liyue

Avoiding this thread I hope. I don't need any of his bullshit invading a perfectly good thread about a coming RTS.

Eh, I think it went beyond fanboyism.

How far are we talking? m7 did say blind fanboyism, unless you mean totally homoerotic love. That would be about Pepzi's level.

I figured just 2 WW devs would be enough to incite him, but not enough to send him into overload.

Pepzi is the biproduct of blind obediance and fanboy cum. He can't be a real entity.

No, he exists. He's a science experiment gone awry.

So he's like the velociraptors in Jurassic Park basically?

Basically, but he's not nearly as harmful. He makes up for it by being far more obnoxious and annoying.

How about you not being an asshole every goddamned moment you can be?

I must be forced to agree with Bolt's sentiment.

I have not much to add into the conversation but I have evidence that FurryQueen isn't an asshole in non-provocative environments and 100% agreeing with O'Bolt's post.

Welp, Bolt has a point, moving on... for some reason, the logo on the left tanks looks familiar.

I usually agree with you, but yeesh, this thread reeks of hypocrite.

Also, that picture reminds me of Battlefield 2142 for some reason.

Yeah I been trying to remember where I saw a similar logo.

I like the picture, and lol I read Jet Set Radio too. Some here should get them a room to settle their private stuff, and do it safe.
