As a long-time fan of the Command & Conquer series, Tempest Rising is shaping up to be exactly the kind of title I’ve been aching to play for all these years. It has some of the most impressive animation work I’ve seen, and the overall art direction is superb. All their demos so far have been high-quality, and it’s clear that the developers understand what makes this particular franchise and genre so memorable.
