Whoever said might makes right?

PC News | World in Conflict

Aug 22 2007 The flurry continues. We've already seen pants-wettingly good trailers of World in Conflict's background and a healthy dose of in-game action. Now we're been given a thorough tutorial in its cinematic majesty. In fact, Conflict sees the Reds bastardising American soil with an aplomb we haven't seen since Command and Conquer: Red Alert back in 1996. If the trailer tells you one thing - other than that extra time spent on graphics was well worth the effort - is that this is no ... » Read More

PC News | World in Conflict

World in Conflict looks nice. It's hopefully going to do for the modern-day RTS what Company of Heroes did for WWII-era RTS action - and this new vid shows off some of the game's impressive DirectX 10 features.

Fortunately, with words like volumetric being tossed around, there's a developer on hand to talk us through the deformation technology and other effects used in World of Conflict. Enjoy.
