C&C4 Requires 'Always On' Internet Connection - briefly
(hx) 05:46 PM CEST - Jul,14 2009 - Post a comment / read (6)
cncden.com has posted info that confirms Command and Conquer 4 will require an always active Internet connection to play:
- C&C 4 has been in development for well over a year already, so, please put to rest any fears this is a 1-year project. Most games don't announce until they are around 1 year or less from release and either way, our development team will not put a rushed game out on the shelf. They've been working quietly on this project for a while now. We have had multiple RTS teams in the building so while Red Alert 3 was being worked on, a lot of early go-ahead-forward work on C&C 4 was progressing.

- As of right now, you need to be online all the time to play C&C 4. This is primarily due to our "player progression" feature so everything can be tracked. C&C 4 is not an MMO in the sense of World of Warcraft, but conceptually it has similar principles for being online all the time. While some may be taken aback by this, we've been testing this feature internally with all of our world-wide markets. We wanted to make sure it wouldn't take away any significant market or territory from playing the game. We have not found or seen any results that have made us think otherwise. You won't need a fast connection, in fact, you could be on age-old dial-up, and have the same single player experience as everyone else. Online all the time won't cause lag for single-player. We've also heavily worked on the online infrastructure such that people with slower connections will not lag other players with faster connections in Multiplayer. What we are doing for multiplayer for the game and with our infrastructure for this game is unlike any we've produced before and I think you will finally see the culmination of a lot of key leanings from past projects in C&C 4, in this respect.

We can elaborate more on gameplay details after all the magazines hit, plenty of details for you to check in those! Gamestar will have a very extensive story.

Is that why Red Alert 3 was so awful, they were all busy scurrying around defecating out C&C 4?

Another moronic decision for always on internet. Guess I wont get this either. Well at least these game companies are saving me money.

always on tracking..

tbh I hate Blizzard and the existence of wow more and more... they are all doing it.. its not that I don't like rpg elements and player progression ... its addictive to a game.. that makes you come back for more... but I think its just getting abused for other sly reasons... and it gets to the point when the gametime you're wasting just to unlock things gets stupid(waste time grinding, goal achieving, repetitive shit etc)..and not everyone needs there STATS tracking ffs.

there is no reason why those things can't be done offline.. if someone wants to cheat and unlock more of there actual fucking game they bought without wasting the time to unlock it.... then they should be fucking able to!... making it always online to prevent cheating is stupid... making it always online to prevent piracy is stupid... checking its a legit game when you're actually intending to play online multiplayer like cdkey checks is better.. personally I fucking hate multiplayer games when you can gain an advantage over other players just by the amount of time you put in! ... playing against other humans should be an even playing field.. I'm not saying CNC4 works like this.. but certain games do like COD4.. so thats why I bring it up.

I guess Starcraft2 requiring Battle.net shit to be loaded and running is probably the exact same thing CNC4 is going for aswel.

I hope they are honest and put it CLEARLY on the box & I wish them more than a handful of sales.
