I am a huge fan of the Command and Conquer franchise, and despite a few missteps, I am always excited to hear a new game is coming out, so today, when I saw a post saying Tiberium Revealed, my excitement was peaked.
Tiberium is the main resource in the Command and Conquer series, and so I had to check it out. Much to my surprise, it seems like EA Games is going to try to make a Command and Conquer game outside the real time strategy genre. The new game, currently entitled Tiberium first person shooter game is said to be like Ghost Recon, and will allow you to control more than one unit of infantry and other such units.
Traditionally, Command and Conquer hasn’t done well outside real time strategy games, and so I will be interested to see if they are able to do well with this genre.
Check the C&C forum for more information about the game.
was there not a c&c renegade that did c&c universe in fps?
Yeah, one of the major missteps I alluded to. :) The issue has always been that people don’t really want a C&C FPS, so it has to be AMAZING. Renegade wasn’t.
I thought Renegade wasn’t as bad as some reviews made it out to be. It did certainly have its share of faults (poor A.I. was probably the major fault), but it was enjoyable, multiplayer mode in particular.
But I totally agree with you about people expecting a lot from the C&C franchise, and Renegade didn’t live up to enough people’s expectations.
