Well, having just got back from playing the demo, I have decided this game worthy of a megathread.
Command and Conquer Tiberium Wars is the 3rd game in the Tiberium arc of the CnC games. It focuses on the battle between the Global Defence Initiative, who are sort of international peace keepers, and Brotherhood of NOD, who are sort of terrorists. They battle over an earth ravaged by Tiberium, a mysterious substance that leaches natural resources from the ground, and bringing them to the surface. This makes them highly valuable. However, the crystals are incredibly toxic, and cause mutation among organic beings. They also eat away at buildings.
Anyway, the 3rd game is based on the latest iteration of the Generals Engine, and has much improved its graphics. Bloom is quite apparent, but not the sort of bloom that gets in your way. Shaders are everywhere, and while the game does not look quite up to the standard of Company of Heroes, or Supreme Commander, it does look very nice. Units are well designed, and the differences between NOD and GDI are very obvious. GDIs units look very military like, whereas nods look curvy and organic.
They seem to have changed the interface a vast amount from Generals, getting rid of the peons for building, and the horizontal build menu, and replaced it with this:
There are several tabs, each dealing with different types of buildings and units. Like in the last game having more than one of each building increased the amount of units you could produce per minute. However, this time you have more buttons, so each building has its own. This means you can create a build cycle where one building is producing Machine gunners, and the other is producing rocket soldiers.
Here are some more screeshots:
A close up shot of my base, part way into the demo mission
Two mammoth tanks taking down some smaller units, using rail guns
Some ORCA bombers wasting some infantry in a building
Videos: (Spoilers I suppose)
LIVE ACTION FMVs! The older balding guy is Mike Ironside, more commonly known as Sam Fisher from splinter cell:

If people find more, please PM them to me.
The full game is supposed to come out in march.
Amazon.co.uk lists it as coming on the 30th of march, but of course this could be wrong.
This thread will continue to grow as more information becomes avalable

This one is the best quality, and here is a download if the stream doesn't work: http://www.putfile.com/downloadfile/Ion-Cannon---Filmed-by-Gunrun247

This one will most likely be fastest, but looks damn awful.
