RA2 had the same cartoony style graphics while tiberian sun had more serious graphics

didnt stop RA2 being one of the best in the series.....

Another vote for the graphics.

I think it looks quite good but ultimately it comes down to gameplay doesn't it.

It's not the fact its cartoony for me, thats fine, i was a big red alert 2 fan. It just doesn't look good in my eyes.

Has the release date for this been pushed back? Thought it was coming out in November but then read somewhere else it was 09 now?

On there website they have a 15 min gameplay demonstration and it actually looks quite good....

Whats happened to ore mining though! And of course you cant really tell from this but for some reason I get the impression of smaller scale battles.

Yer, the ore mining looked abit strange.

Im still willing to give it a crack from watching that video anyway.

Exactly. I think they wanted to keep it in that style. You always get people saying "games are all about graphics now, no gameplay" lol and then out comes a game that isn't groundbreaking and people are like "but where are the mint graphics, this looks rubbish". Pot -> Kettle -> Black?!

I think as long as they nail the gameplay it'll be awesome and the cartoon-esque graphics are kind of neat.

Also, who on earth deploys armoured bears into combat?

Armys in the Red Alert Universe. They also use squids and dolphins.

Its not meant to accurate and realistic. Its an alternate reality.

Personally I think the graphics look very clean and nice (just like RA2 did) but its going to be the gameplay that will make or break this game.

You've just utterly failed with that. Please tell me you didn't think any of the C&C series is meant to be realistic?

The graphics have a unique look to them, and I've seen a lot worse in the past so as long as it runs okay and doesn't crash with D3D errors like C&C3 did then i'll be happy.

I just hope the formula changes slightly. C&C seems to be about building the best army and rushing to build a superweapon and then that's it pretty much. I would like to see an option or the reduction of superweapon use within this game.
