Command and Conquer 3 for Xbox 360 – developer interview

We talk exclusively to Raj Joshi, producer of Command and Conquer 3 for Xbox 360 from EA, about how the Xbox 360 version of the new Command and Conquer RTS is coming along. We discover what lessons they have learnt from the first Xbox 360 RTS, The Battle for Middle Earth II and find out what is going to be the same in the Xbox 360 version of Tiberium Wars (Command and Conquer 3’s subtitle) as on the PC and what is going to be different. Why does he believe the Xbox 360 is a great home for RTS and Command and Conquer 3 and why didn’t they enable you to play console versus PC. All this and more is revealed in our Command and Conquer 3 interview in the free Xbox 360 magazine. Click here to read the Command and Conquer 3 for Xbox 360 – developer interview!

Command and Conquer 3 for Xbox 360 – developer interview
A staple of the PC Real Time Strategy scene for over a decade, Command & Conquer is imminently coming to Xbox 360 with bells on. We met up with Producer Raj Joshi to find out what we can all expect...

Command & Conquer has been going for 11 years, including numerous spin-offs. What makes this number three?
Part of it is because it is the core storyline. Some C&C fans like the fact that the Command & Conquer universe is actually kind of split, but now we are getting back to the core storyline. The gameplay is along the lines of Red Alert, but it is kind of weird because console players don’t necessarily have an understanding of what the legacy might be. We’re tied to the past but we’re looking to the future.
