Yes, Command & Conquer Renegade is now a true first-person shooter and will likely compete with the likes of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Red Faction, Duke Nukem Forever, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein, all of which are due out later this year. The biggest change is undoubtedly the shift in your perspective from a third-person view to a much more user-friendly first-person camera angle. Thankfully, with these delays come changes and improvements to the game, and the Renegade we saw a few weeks ago looked markedly different from the Renegade we saw last year. But as the game is a first for Westwood-first 3D game, first action game-the delays can be forgiven. When Renegade was first shown to us early last year, we assumed that the game would have hit store shelves by now. To date, this is the most comprehensive collection we have of one video game studio's output.A few weeks ago, we ventured out into the Las Vegas desert to visit the Westwood headquarters to take a look at the upcoming Command & Conquer Renegade, the much anticipated and equally delayed 3D action shooter. The collection will be used both for research purposes as well as for display in eGameRevolution. titles but also Westwood titles that were sold throughout the world. This collection includes not only Westwood's U.S. Westwood's later RTS series, Command & Conquer, became probably their most successful franchise and spawned a large number of sequels. Westwood's Dune II is usually acknowledged as the first RTS, and Castle coined the term "Real Time Strategy Game" specifically for it, and it later became an industry standard term. Westwood is most important for having created and popularized the real-time strategy game (RTS), in which players must try and defeat an opponent by making their moves while the play of the game continues (unlike a turn-based game like Civilization or Chess). Most of the games are related to Westwood's core strategy series such as Command & Conquer and Dune, but the collection also includes early games such as Westwood's Dungeons and Dragons games and mass market games such as Monopoly and Lion King.
The collection provides an overview of Westwood's catalog, from their early days producing items for machines such as the Amiga and Commodore 64 to Westwood releases through 2003, when Electronic Arts, who had acquired Westwood, moved the company to Los Angeles. The donation includes approximately 500 items, consisting mostly of games and artwork but also including other artifacts such as costumes that actors used for game production. Westwood Studios co-founder Lou Castle donated a comprehensive collection of games and related artifacts developed by Westwood Studios.
