Why does everything they say in the video and most of it.. point to C&C Renegade? (which has been out for two weeks)

Well if those screens look like that they will have no trouble competing with blizzard... But AoM runs circles around both...

maybe in terms of graphics... but i've always considered blizzard's gameplay to be better.

I agree but in the article they said they want to compete with Blizzards WIII... by the screens I've seen there dominating them, but Age of Mythology I think will be the whole package... Some of the stuff there programming (just go read a review) but one thing that I remember was that when a villager walks through the field the corn or whatever will move like hes walking through.... go read gamespots preivew of it.

I dont think AoM, WIII and CC Generals will be in such a direct competition. Oh sure, they're all RTSs, but they're very different. CC is tanks and planes while WIII is heroes and magic...

To an extent, I'll agree. Some gamers want a realistic (well, as realistic as Mammoth Tanks go...) sim while a little fantasy here and there suits better, or those historic RTSes like AoE, Empire Earth, etc. Personally, I like the C&C franchise for the same reason I loved Dune2: there's just something about watching your tons and tons of heavily armed, tracked vehicles take down a base while making a pleasing "squish" sound when infantry is involved. :D

Damn $10-12million. They say it will be released this year. I can only bet its Q4, and since its the same development team that did RA2 in 14 months, I dont doubt it, although 24 months to build a entirely new engine and game, ah who knows. The screens do look good.
