Grey Goo - From C&C Creators

Basically it's an attempt by Petroglyph studios to take RTS games back in time and strip them down to the basics that made C&C and it's ilk. More emphasis on macro and strategy than micro and tactics.
Personally I'm really interested in seeing how this pans out, while I do enjoy CoH2, I find that it (and CoH1) had a big focus on micro, more than I enjoy personally. They also completely lack base-building and resource gathering in the traditional sense.
I'd really like to see a traditional RTS like this take off. I can't think of anything else on the horizon quite like it, maybe except for Age of Mythology Remastered, which is of course, a remake.
Anyone else?

sounds interesting but probably too futuristic for me.
If I did have one complaint about the game, it's that I don't really like the Sci-Fi look and aesthetics either, but if the gameplay can bring back a nice meaty base-building and resource gathering RTS I'll enjoy it.

Hell, Reboot the series and start at Tiberium Dawn - just make a good game ffs...
Although this looks interesting to me.... after the abysmal ground combat of Empire at War, I'm not so sure.. that was Pteroglyph right?

I get the feeling this is trying to capture the C&C feel though, which is nice.
I never played Empire at War, but it was the same devs, yes. They also did Universe at War. I haven't played that either, but understand it got ham-strung by using GFWL.

But the space combat is super great and fun.

I'm tempted to pick it up, but want to see what the multiplayer is like first. Most reviews/impressions seem to focus on single player.
Anyone here planning on getting it/got it and wants to share their thoughts?

I love old RTS like Cossacks, Battle for Middle-earth or Empire at War (Disney, make new RTS game!!!!) but I can't anything close to those old RTS games. Hope this will be what I was looking for.
I'm getting tired with CoH2, over 1300h and no patch (Relic!!) so this might be a way out for me.
Someone has it already??

Not a big fan of the whole mechanized/tank deluxe spam. It just looks bland and boring, and isn't that very exciting to watch two blobs of tanks with minimal "infantry" utility.
Maybe I'll try it, but I don't have expectations that I will personally enjoy it.
