Command and Conquer: Tiberium revealed

Posted on December 12th, 2007 at 06:07 EDT

The January issue of US publication Game Informer has obtained exclusive information on an all-new Command and Conquer game for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Titled Command and Conquer: Tiberium, the game takes the form of a first person shooter set 11 years after the events of Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (the latest instalment for Xbox 360 and PC)

According to the magazine, players will assume control of fellow Global Defence Initiative (GDI) field commander Ricardo Vega, who has been pulled out of retirement to thwart the latest plans from the notorious Brotherhood of Nod.

Further details include squad-based gameplay (of which include infantry, missile infantry, Titan and Orcas), a setting described as the "Mediterranean Red Zone" and special abilities including the “Orbital Slug”.

This marks the second time that Command and Conquer has been adapted into a first person shooter, the first being 2002’s poorly received Command and Conquer: Renegade on PC.

Stay tuned for more details as they break. Please note that publisher EA has yet to confirm or deny development of the title.

NOOO, not another FPS C&C. RA3 would be very nice

If they make this a very gritty title full of desperation then it has a great opportunity to do something unique. Starcraft Ghost was headed in the wrong direcion under Nihilistic and Blizzard pulled the plug on that. Hopefully that mistake will not be duplicated and the developer, if it is a 3rd party or in house will get it right from the beginning.

FPS and C&C are two things that shouldn't go together.

Wow another EA game can't wait to see what they whine about this time about ps3 development.  Hopefully the ps3 version will be as decent as the xbox 360 and pc versions.

BOOOO!! I agree totally with SolsticeZero. When I read the headline I was thinking "AWESOME!", but now I hang my head in shame. I would love for a C&C to grace the PS3, but in RTS, not FPS.

I'm a big FPS fan and there are alot of them out now or coming out very soon. (KZ2, Haze, RFOM, COD4). I doubt this game will ve able to compete.I like C&C. Just not as a shooter.

psn id: gingo... i personally feel strategy games like C AND C should be left on pc becasue it is so much easier to control using a keyboard and mouse but at least they are not screwing over ps3 again and making it a 360 exclusive

RA3 is coming guys.... just be patient. I have confidence that it will be the next CnC game coming out on PC at least. They probably used TW to test out their nextgen engine and want to fine tweak it before doing an RA3.

If they DO use the TW engine though, I hope they find a way of bringing some of the (using this word loosely here) 'cartooniness' from the first 2 back. I like how everything was vibrant and illustrated feeling instead of so realistic.

Gingo. I partially agree. They don't recessarily have to stay on PC. But they have to stay on the mouse and keyboard setup. So why not make a RTS for PS3 with full keyboard and mouse support?

renegade was pretty good. EA rushed it out when it was half finished though. Its one of the games with most mod support out there. (from the mod community it has established itself)

 

Also.. regarding the dude with the "next gen engine" they are still working on the same engine they used for generals. Which is actually a spin off from the renegade engine. Coincidence woot. The W3D engine. In any case it could go well and it could phail.

 

Oh and if they werent using the same engine.. they wouldnt test it on the tiberium universe.. afterall the best game of the series was in that universe... "Tiberian Dawn" (if they make another red alert .. it may bind them together but it may also have nothing to do with much.. the only red alert that was a known part of the original cnc universe is ra1.. if you dont believe me go to youtube and watch the soviet ending)

 

In either case i hope theyll pull some nice stuff off :) but they have problems making their stories interesting.
