Is it that time again /v/ ?
Can Petro do it ?
Pros:
>army customization ranging from stats to status effects
>mechanics from C&C such as bombardments and factories multiplying building speed
>basebuilding
>large armies
cons
>early access
>overwatch tier color scheme
>serious blobbing ?
>no walls ?
What do you think ?

>those animations and sounds
They still don't fucking understand the problem of their new games being ignored for the good old C&C.
IT HAS NO FEEDBACK
Everything looks like a toy with laser peashooters instead of actual war machines loaded with heavy explosives. It's such a shame because Petroglyph is the only company still producing C&C-styled games even to this day and they are only being bought because they cater to indieshit niggers like 8bit armies.
Can someone tell them to add gritty EXPLOSIONS and FUN UNITS to their new games? Does anyone have their email address so i can do it? Holy shit this is horrible, why do they do this.

Looks promising as long as it can be modded. I prefer human and organic combatants but I'm sure that would make customization harder.

The colors put me off…
They remind me too much of Red Alert 3
Also i remember playing some kind of Battailion game by Petroglyph 2 years ago… It was some sort of End of Nations remake… But in bad.
I want grittiness. Not super colorful.

Although rewatching the video… Those concepts… Fuck, I actually planned on making an RTS myself with customizable units and base building, (planned… in the far future)
Also these buildings going underground to counter the missile. I actually love these ideas…
But it is still a turd. The graphics are too childish. I want to see a fucking believable war and not some colorful displays.
Might look into it… but not too keen on it

I really want them to, but they seem to just pump out a bunch of RTS games that people ultimately forget shortly afterwards like Grey Goo & 8-Bit Armies.
Honestly I wonder how they're still around companies have been killed off for less.

so they chopped down that giant game they never delivered in to something they can sell. i can't even remember the name of it, world at war command of generals whatever. looks slapped together. abusive use of filters, painful to look at.

I think the last good Petroglyph game I played was Empire at War. They've been releasing the same RTS games year after year after year with a slightly different coating, but never seem to learn from the failures of the previous games. The unit designs look completely uninspired and the devs seem determined to hide that flaw with oversaturated and overcomplicated particle effects. Nothing stands out to me.

Looks like shit. Really though, the art style is awful and everything looks generic. I think the "make your own faction" thing is going to bite them in the ass since no one played c&c and said
>fuck these unique factions and their interesting backgrounds!
>I want to play as a generic self insert faction that I can stick a custom jpg on!

It's just not fun. The gay ass metagame tech tree is pretty much the same thing as having an actual tech tree and factions. The only difference is you have to grind to use all your units even in skirmish mode. There isn't even that much customization. You have a few options for base upgrades that barely matter and special weapons that you'll rarely use, a few movement options for each unit, and the weapon options actually don't seem like that much when you realize that it's not actually 12 different weapon types, it's 4 broken down into 3 tiers. I hate the CnC style of building units and structures too. There's literally nothing interesting about this game.

Oh, that one was pretty fucked up. First it was a failed kickstarter called Victory, then in eatly access it was called Victory Command, THEN they closed that but rebooted it as Battle Battalions.
I… I think the servers are still online for that.
I only played it for the music
