It's really hard to give much of a shit about a world if all it contains is a bunch of tin cans slamming on each other. I was hoping Squeenix would have helped on this front with Supreme Commander 2, but from what I've seen of that game, not really. Of course it had the benefit of having its universe created beforehand by a novelist and David Lynch, but that only goes to show how important it is to have good artists on your team. Even Dune II, which had a much tougher job of creating a cool environment since the entire game took place in a desert, looks a thousand times more alive than this. I mean compare this with Red Alert or even Generals. Part of it has to do with the all-robot theme and the lack of humans or organic life at all, and part of it with the fact that the artists are, if not exactly mediocre, then certainly uninspired. They are not ugly, but they are not beautiful either. Aesthetically, the games have no character at all. My main problem with Supreme Commander (as an outsider, having not really played the game), which is clearly being carried over to this one, is how sterile it all looks.
