AAPL Stock: 560.5 ( + 3.53 )

Command & Conquer Generals goes beta, due in April

updated 11:25 am EST, Mon March 1, 2004

Command & Conquer Generals


Aspyr today announced that is now in beta (the Mac conversion is being handled by i5works). "In a time of modern war, recent military aggressions around the globe have many nations worried. Between the United States, China, and the Global Liberation Army, tensions run high. Their leaders profess no interest in escalating the situation, but words ring hollow when satellite photos tell a different story." The title is expected to ship in April for Mac OS X 10.2.6 or later and will require a 1GHz or faster G4 processor. It is available for pre-order for $50.

    networking

    You can't network against a PC. No point then.

    No Chance

    I would be VERY suprised if this game runs well on a 1GHZ Powerbook. I have Generals PC on a desktop 2.66P4 512 mb and GF4 64mb, it runs well only with all the graphics set as low as possible. I have also ran it on a HP laptop P2.8 GF4 64mb, it ran REALLY slow, not playable in my opinion, so I uninstalled.

    Really good game though :)

    It plays well on a PC

    I have an Athlon XP 2000+ with a crappy 64 MB Radeon 9100 and this game kicks a** @ 1024x768 with all the effects turn high. I'm sure the guy with the Pentium 2.66GHz is having problems cause (1) he's using an old Geforce4 card, (2) has tons of garbage in his system... remember this is a DirectX 9.0 game and Geforce cards are better at OpenGL. That being said, I can't wait to see how this runs on a Mac.. I have a 1.4GHz G4 cpu upgrade and a Radeon 8500 in my Sawtooth. However, no PC networking is a stupid tradeoff.

    could care less

    I really don't care if I can play against PC users. It will play against other mac users, that's all I need.

    So much for my LAN game.

    I bought the PeeCee version just to be able to have LAN games with my Mac. This sux. Wait! I'll just SKIP the Mac version. Tough luck, Aspyr. Maybe next time. UT2004, here comes my money!

    eh

    my friend's celeron 733 MHz with GeForce 2 MX (PCI edition!) and win ME played it on 800x600 resolution with all settings turned low at pretty good framerates... probably TV framerate at least. well, if G4 1 GHz is the bare minimum, what kind of porting job is that? i'd expect that kind of computer to be able to play that game with at least SOME eye candy on. my athlon XP 2000+ and radeon 9000 plays it 1024x768 with all settings max. aspyr has recently been doing pretty bad ports. look at all their games based on the quake III engine, like jedi knight II and jedi knight academy... look at sim city 4... what's next? come on, UT2k3 kicked a** after that update. wake up aspyr...........
