I never really understood the fantasy behind this game, so I'm very apprehensive. It's humans vs aliens vs... goo. At least Starcraft makes it easy to understand since the Zerg and Protoss are fairly straight-forward concepts. This Goo thing is... weird.
Truth be told, the game looks more like a glorified tech demo than a game.
It's more of human-controlled drones vs aliens vs sentient robots. Personally, I like that it's not the typical humans vs primal aliens vs high-tech aliens, though the concept of goo was pretty weird to me at first. Thankfully most of them are insect-like robots rather than giant goo blobs.
Could it be an actual RTS game? I thought StarCraft 2 was the only remaining modern game left in that genre. Thanks for the heads up, will definitely check this out!
I've recently got it and been playing it since. An okay game, so far' I'm still pondering whether to write a full article on it or not.
I've spotted a fatal flaw, though, and that's the game crashes the moment you either restart too much or try loading a saved game. I expect it'll be patched, though.
Saw it on steam a few days ago. Definitely looks cool, plus its made by petroglyph (made up of several former Westwood people). But I have a hard time spending that much money on games anymore. Will likely wait for a sale where it's $25 or less.
I kinda like less micro. As fun as SC2 is, I still prefer the C&C games.

No base building? A single 'if it dies you lose' superunit? Winning a match by collecting points only? That shit isn't an RTS. Wikipedia doesn't even classify it as such. It's less of an RTS than the Dawn of War games, and those were pretty gimmicky to begin with. Don't get me wrong - all of these games may be interesting in their own right, but they don't even begin to compare to Age of Empires, Warcraft, Dune, StarCraft, Stronghold, Krush Kill 'n' Destroy, Battle for Middle-Earth, etc.
Traditional RTS has been kind of dead for years, with StarCraft 2 being a bit of a lost soul in the landscape. Which is ironic, since the whole rebooting old famous franchise circlejerk means we're seeing 'traditional [insert genre]'s pop up by the dozen. Maybe Grey Goo can initiate a bit of a revival.
And all of this is aside from the fact that CnC 4 is an EA game, anyway - I've stopped buying games from that publisher years ago.

Anyone else tried this out? Been playing through campaign and it's pretty fun so far!
ive been thinking about trying it, but the way they dumbed down the macro and micro kinda turns me off
Cinematic looks fantastic it could be a movie.

Reminds me of the Blight from outpost 2.
