  • Exclusive Interview with EA_CIRE - C&C Community Manager

    #1
    Today, we at United-Forum had the great opportunity to interview C&C global community manager EA_CIRE and talk with him about his job, the video game awards, the teaser-trailer and about some questions the community has right now. Big thanks to Eric for lending us his time and for the great answers.

    The Podcast is in german (sorry about that), but we translated all the important parts and posted them on our site, which you can read here.


    Podcast in german + Summary in german

    English summary of the Interview

    small excerpt:
    UF: Since the information for the game has been released, alot of players are worried about the 'downloadable content', especially about the factions and units part.
    EA_CIRE pointed out that the game is designed to be highly attractive over a long time and that there will be more content coming after time. But balance is a central point for the team and they will focus on avoiding imbalances. One thing they are looking at are the DotA-clones with their ingame stores as good DLC examples. And not everything will have to be payed for, as there will be free additional content as well.

    UF: Will the EU-Faction be the European Union or some kind of 'Eurasian Unity League', as depicted in the Zero Hour storyline?
    EA_CIRE said we should take a close look at the tank, especially the sign on the track. It would be very similar to a symbol in real life, either an organization or a confederation. (EU probably means European Union then)

    Again big thanks to EA_CIRE and we hope you, the fans, do enjoy it as much as we did.

    Cool interview.

    They are teasing us about the EU. He knows full well that symbol is blurry and doesn't look exactly like the European Union symbol, and if it was just the Euro Union, he wouldn't have bothered with his silly 'observe the tank closely' answer.

    Unless it really is that simple and he is capitalizing on the fact that we are somewhat confused and using it as a means to keep us thinking about the game - naturally adding to the hype.

      UF: Can we expect BioWare Victory to redesign the units multiple times considering the community feedback, for example the controversial EU 'orca'?
      Probably not as excessive as Blizzard does, but according to EA_CIRE they definitely try to implement the wishes of the fans. He stresses that the helicopter shall not be regarded as GDI orca!
      Lol.

        Sorry about that one, it should read like this:

        Kyang please fix that Blizzard part, that was a error on our part and we fixed it.

          Interesting that they want us to be aprt of the development, I just hope the community is mature and the whinners don't screw the game with their tiers.

          Lol at he GDI orca, yeah it looks like an orca + avatar ship + banshee from sc2. If USA is noton the game, some heli with similarity to the commanche would be nice if they decide to change it, but I must say i want new stuff i wont let my love for G1 to carry to G2 so i will trust on Bioware and let them do their thing and so should everyone. I don't want this to be G1 redo with FB2 i want new stuff too including unit remodel, but dont change the core of the game keep it clean by that I mean : worker dozer or w/e to construction + supply $, build anywhere, the upgrades for nuits, the level up rewards .....

                      Well... even though it is blurry, the logo is blue and it still looks like it is a circle of stars. Just like the current flag of the EU:

                      The only difference is the thing in the middle of the stars which is very blurry to make out. Perhaps it is the NATO symbol? It looks very similar:

                      Here is a picture of the logo in the trailer for reference:

                        The only difference is the thing in the middle of the stars... which is probably there to denote the military branch. But even still, I think it is safe to say that the EU is the European Union... or else they wouldn't have such a similar looking logo to the real world EU's flag.
                        Yea, I guess that makes sense, now we just need to know what our Mystery third faction is... :P

                          No, I was talking about the Origin leak. I posted that page here and on CNCSaga. How could they contain it after that?

                          Also, I'm happy to know the decision hasn't yet been made on whether to use FMVs with actors or realistic in-game cinematics. But I still stand by my opinion that if they can't make the expressions and movement as fluid and real as in LA Noire and with the graphical realism of Battlefield 3 or The Last of Us, they should stick to live-action for at least the next 2 games, until it becomes feasible and easier to achieve.
