Possible C&C : X FPS Footage?
Tchutch over at http://www.cncsaga.com/ posted news about this video by a guy called thirdmonster who has over 10 years experience in CGI and worked on tones of projects over the years.
Now i may be wrong, but you can not doubt this is C&C related, if not, EA related too.
1) Video reel date.
2) Right at the start, i mean in the first second or two, it looks like some Mech legs and possibly Mechs hanging from Dropships.
3) The style of the video reminds me a lot of Renegade, showing the commando.
4) Clearly you can see Dropships (new style) dropping down Predators and possibly a APC or a Harvester, something with a turret.
5) The tanks are with out a doubt 101% like the ones in the TFD poster.
6) I think the commando has a black GDI logo on hes left (looking from behind) shoulder.
7) The switch to First Person Mode, makes me think its connected to the FPS we have heard about.
8 ) Nod bus? Or Nod Transport.
9) Some Scrin style unit attacking the Nod object.
10) If you look to the right when he fires the missiles at the Scrin units, looks a lot like a Tiberium Spike. It has GDI on it too.
11) The HUGE Scrin unit looks like something out of War of the worlds, now if there going with scale, i would say that is a Tripod or something.
Now goto 4:08, see that gold cyborg thing? Looks to me like a concept...
Now think... some of them things are too hard to dismiss... i think we have outsells a guy who rendered possibly the opening sequence to the C&C X : FPS?
I might be really wrong, but still... its something C&C related that no one has seen before.

Maybe it could be some futuristic Battlefield game, don't you think? Sorry, but I have some doubts if it is really Command & Conquer related. And, if the person ever had anything to do with a new C&C game, this person would be under a non disclosure agreement and wouldn't be able to reveal this kind of content yet. QUICK_EDIT
The video is a demo reel for a 3d artists, I think it's far far more likely that it's pre-release TW or pre-release TT work.
Edit:
If he was working on a C&C FPS which hasn't yet been released he's under NDA and would not be allowed to show any work from it in his showreel.
It could even be purely fanart, but done by a professional. _________________ Last edited by Daz on Sun Nov 25, 2007 1:12 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
I think Daz is right.
The Tank and the whole unit designs look more like a concept study made during the TW development.
He wouldnt be allowed to show design from an unreleased game...
But your right, looks like scrin buzzer and some kind of huge mech...
But the Cyborg looks nowhere like the concept art, more like something from battlestar galactica.
PS: Acording to youtube the artists name is Steven Rogers. QUICK_EDIT
Yeah, there's a nice breakdown of what everything is. He's done work for some huge clients.
It says he did work for a BSG game so that's probably a cylon rather than that concept.
The C&C bit also confirms he did work for EA's C&C but it isn't any more detailed than that.
I'm sticking with thinking it's concept stuff for TW or something. It looks alot more TS than TW's art style (the units just look TS, and the environment seems more fitting with TS' the world is screwed setup than TW's not so bad afterall version) but the way the soldier jumps seems like a Zone Trooper. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Yea, i agree with you Daz, and if you look at one of the pages, there is a image of the gold cyborg and the image name has Cylon in it.
I dont know though... i still think it has something to do what EA might be planning, if so, its looks awesome.
The way i see it, the TFD poster was two sided, one side was the Ion Cannon, what we later found out to be Tiberium Wars related, and the Tank we do not know for sure, and now a video of it pops up?... QUICK_EDIT
I think it's more likely both sides were TW, but the Predator model was changed.
I've just watched it and the whole end section is from the BSG game for Xbox (original) which I have somewhere. The Cylons look like that rather than like the 70s or new version. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

This being new C&C FPS is as probable as Duke Nukem Forever coming out. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT
Theres a version with way better resolution on his page..
This scene was propably a simple study to show a concept for the inviroment and I guess it was just to dark and frightend and thus the basic theme was changed.
The jumping soldier looks a bit like the CnC3 commando... _________________ QUICK_EDIT
I've extracted it in high quality and removed that music, I put Stomp instead, which seems to fit every single C&C rendered battle video. >_< QUICK_EDIT
What those dragonfly like things? They appear @ 00:00:13 attacking that dump truck with the word ''NOD'' on it.. some new Fauna or some Cabal/Scrin unit. _________________ Delirium.. QUICK_EDIT

"Non-Disclosure Agreement notwithstanding, I can safely say: I don't know WHY we created this project. I was working for a television/film VFX studio when this project came in. As far as I know (at the time--over a year-and-a-half-ago), there was "some new game" being planned (I stress "PLANNED"; very early stage; may have been dumped since), and all the information I could glean was we (at the VFX house) were creating a short animation piece for the game company only. It was an internal type of job (not to be included in any specified game--except maybe as supplemental materials for a release WAY down the line). Sometimes they put things together like this just to get a feel for what the game might look like, to get their artistic juices flowing, or programmers thinking, or to get investors excited, or whatever... kind of like a movie director looking for a proof-of-concept, or even pre-visualization. I don't mean to sound vague, but that is really all I know. The project lasted about 7 weeks, we delivered it, I moved on to my next gig; life of an
artist-for-hire.
Sorry I can't be any more help...but that's all I know. ("
tl;dr
its not Renegade 2 _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT

But there are videos for projects like Star Trek, and it seems there's a short clip from an old movie (which name I can't remember). Although, it wouldn't make sense to use old material...
EDIT: In the YouTube description the artist says he got a Primetime Emmy entry and an Emmy award in 2002 for the Star Trek project. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
The work will be from various times (it's not all 07 just because it's the 07 edition of his reel, if he did something awesome in 2001 he'd keep it in his reel until he had a good reason to replace it) but the C&C bit is from over a year and a half ago.
There are clips from ST: Voyager and ST: Enterprise. It's all listed on his site. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

hum.... It looks like a GDI Commando jumping around and it has the CnC First decade Concept tank for those tanks, but also has the 'Nod' truck being attacked by something... Interesting... Nice find.

Don't worry guys, I assure you there will be a new C&C RTS game, some time after Kane's Wrath... and there is a good possibility of a FPS one, although most FPS games from that studio are Medal of Honour... QUICK_EDIT
