Tiberian Dawn -- Sheppard's press conference

[imlost19]

I like how out of all the reporters in the room asking random questions, only 3 of them decide to speak loudly enough to be heard... lol

[OlviMasta77]

lol this is like finding easter eggs or new fun stuff in old boxes all over again :D

[chankljp]

Sheppard may be a good general but GDI really needs to find a PR specialist to meet the media at the press conference instead of getting a military commander to do so.

BTW, in one of the intel file you can unlock in C&C 3 it said that one of Sheppard's relatives became a GDI spokesman by the time of the Third Tiberium War. It is likely to be a shout out to this scene.

[Spawnz1810]

@chankljp so which file was it?

[chankljp]

@Spawnz1810

'The Ghost in the Machine' article in the 'GDI News Wire' file in the Intel Database. You can unlock it in the Hampton Roads mission after you were given the third mission objective.

The last paragraph mentioned Sheppard's relative, here is what it says: ...

Rumors that this particular bunker displayed evidence of human or humanoid life

forms in suspension capsules were quickly dismissed by GDI spokesperson Arlene Shepherd.

[Spawnz1810]

@chankljp geez, i unlocked this file but i didnt assume that arlene was a relative of mark jamison.

[FekLeyrTarg]

Best media conference ever.

[Johny2662]

So is Westwood still around even though EA is making the C&C games?

[OlviMasta77]

No, last game Westwood put out was Renegade...in 2002. Of the C&C series anyways..

[philpay95]

@Johny2662 Kinda check the company petrogylhic.

[5master11111]

"Should GDI funding be cut?"

What the hell kinda stupid grab-asstic question is that to ask GDI's own commander!? What do you think his answer's gonna be!? :D

Hooah, GDI!

[darthbandon10]

Lol, perhaps its a rhetorical kinda question?

[heckstersjr]

@5master11111 lol, they ain't the Rangers

[phocjame]

@5master11111 He should've just yelled "I've got a present for ya!" and blown up the building - it usually works for the rest of GDI...

[Nooblar123]

bye sexy

Thanks =) 2K

[Lm3ntz]

poor Sheppard got pwnd by nod media crap :^(

When GDI blasted his face of with the ion cannon he was probably thinking (REVENGE BIATCH! xD)

[logom0]

Lol i thought his name was Marge Shepard

[LaJin9292]

I dont get why they only had Sheppard real and the table and microphones are a badly drawn background?

[DieOfGoodLuck]

Let's just say that when these cutscenes were being made back in what must have been 1994, Command & Conquer didn't quite have the budget available it does today.

[LaJin9292]

Yes but there was a same similar setup with the umm... whatever the doctor guy, and it had real microphones that time. I guess they just didn't have enough time to set up an actual desk like that with Microphones xD.

[Yrrej8611]

Out of every game I've played that Westwood made, at least during the 90s (C&C, RA, Nox, & LoL3) Westwood seemed to struggle on cinematics. C&C & RA had real actors, but when it came to recording everything, it seemed like they didn't have the technology. Nox & LoL3 cinematics were practically made of pixils. Technology was not with them that decade, but the gameplay is still.

[morgan5154]

The technology was there to make a prety good video but Westwood just didnt have the money

[Yrrej8611]

True, but they were smart to scrap the cinematics from gameplay...

[morgan5154]

oh yeah, thats what made Westwood popular, BEING SMART see all it takes is common sence to know what people want, and thats what Westwood had, common sence, they knew that everyone would love to see video in a game, so TAA DAAAAA, EA has more dollars than since I think, but thats okay, it only takes one or the other in this world.

[RomeijnLand]

General Sheppard Rules!

[InsaneChef]

sheppard is awesome

[zenophas]

He's the worst gdi general of all time.

[FigBuscuitEatsYou]

"It's a lie, all of it... GDI wouldn't slaughter children!"

That's brilliant. So unrealistic. Like you would ever say that to the press. Pure ownage.

[GeneralSpy]

@FigBuscuitEatsYou Remember what Sheppard says later? "You've been hussled, commander!"

He's probably doing that SPECIFICALLY to create the ruckus to fool Kane. And it WORKED.

GDI 1

Nod 0

GG no really

[shaji20]

Shepard got owned by Nod WOOT!
