The second video even shows the new 'first person' camera angle in action! Check them out:

GameSpot has posted an article on Electronic Arts' quarterly financial data. The best news relates to Command and Conquer III - the article quotes EA's CFO as saying that it has been a succesful relaunch of the classic series:
Though he didn't give sales figures, EA CFO Warren Jenson did say during an analyst conference call that Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars was a 'successful relaunch' of the series. According to NPD data, the game has sold more than 128,000 copies on the PC in the US; an Xbox 360 version was released today.
This is especially important for us because the C&C relaunch seems to be the pathfinder for EA's recent renewed interest in Wing Commander. Both games were successful around the same time and they both have had similar strikes against them, including the onus of FMV production requirements and 'single creator' familiarity. EA will take this as a good sign for the future of Wing Commander, and so should we! Those purchasing consoles for Wing Commander Arena may be interested to know that Command & Conquer 3 for the Xbox 360 shipped yesterday!
