PPM and Gamescom. It's time to bring the news.
First of all, I'd like to thank Eric Krause (EA CIRE) and the whole Victory Games team for CommandCOM. It was an awesome event and it was a great pleasure and an honor to meet all of you and some of the community members in person, such as Alex06 (roommate), Nyerguds, Koen van de Sande (Yup, TibEd!), Cypher, Webboy (again!) and also the legendary russian guys such as DenFrizer and Alex. I know a lot of other sites already posted everything they could about this event before me, but don't worry. We'll have interesting upcoming content about it from our site. I hope we'll end up supporting this game, once they start supporting user created content such as maps and maybe mods or gamemodes.
So, first of all, for those wondering, how does the game look and plays. EA TV has answered that with some interesting videos. Most of them take about one hour, so check them when you have a lot of free time:
I tried to capture a game there, but I couldn't figure out how to use their AverMedia capture devices and whatever I got with my camera was also horrible (lighting problems, absurd size and no sound), so I guess EA TV's material is all what we have here.
Err... ok: that's the true story: Our spy was captured before leaving the building.
...NOT!
The next thing is about the game info. I know you can find some interviews from Gamereplays (They've asked JVC about mods and maps... wow!), CNCNZ and CnCSaga. I did not do any interview. I was too much busy with russian jokes at the moment. I'm so sorry, but considering my last interview with EA guys, you are not missing much with that.
And finally, the question that is on everybody's mind here: will the game be moddable? Unfortunately, I do not have the answer, however, there is a high possibility that it might be or at least get custom maps. Check out my answer at Revora/CnC Guild Forums.
In the next days, I'll post a more detailed report about the game itself, photos from the Gamescom and much more.
Talking about photos from Gamescom, check these ones from Koen and these from Nyerguds.
