Command and Conquer FPS - Dec 20, 2007 03:29

EA Announces New C&C Game
RTS goes FPS, FYI.
by Martin Robinson, IGN UK

UK, December 18, 2007 - Electronic Arts has announced the impending arrival of a new entry in the Command & Conquer series, Tiberium, a first-person squad-based shooter that will hit the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC towards the end of 2008.

It marks the second time the series has departed from its real-time strategy roots, following 2002' s Command & Conquer: Renegade, a shooter which was met with a muted response. The new game has been subject to rigorous preperation, and promises a mix of tactical action and gunplay, with players in control infantry, armour and air squads in their travels through the Command & Conquer universe.


Not quite sure if I personally would like one of my favorite RTS going FPS, but if done well it may change my mind.
Most wanted games:

Mass Effect
Assasins Creed
Crysis
Little Big Planet
Drakes Fortune
UTIII
Kane and Lynch
Heavy Rain
Alan Wake

It' s on the front page of the new GI. I don' t own a scanner, otherwise I' d scan the article in question.

I' m not totally sure what to think of it yet to be honest. I see Star Wars: Republic Commando, Halo, Haze and a little bit of Timeshift in the graphics department. The character models look pretty nice, if the screens aren' t as touched up as I' m inclined to believe they are, but the weapons & environments are pretty average. Nothing bad mind you, just nothing to write home about either.

After all the great 07 FPS' s we dont need anymore mediocrity. Being a good FPS isnt good enough anymore. Not when you must compete with games like CoD4, Halo 3, UTIII, Orange Box and upcoming games like Haze and Half Life 2 ep.3.
I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

Medal of Honor started alright, but slowly sank more into mediocrity with each sub-sequent installment. Too stuck in past glories, that they can' t even recreate now with better technology.

I' ve just seen gameplay screens of this new C&C game...

...it looks disgusting.

Iy quite honestly looks like it could be done on Wii. It would have been passable as a first gen title, but not now. It' s too brown, the levels are completely non-descript, the enemies and weapons are lame... it just looks awful.

Things could change though and it could end up being great... but i highly doubt it. It' s a shame too because the C&C universe is pretty ***ing cool and could play host to any genre of game. Personally i' d have taken it towards a more Matrix style storyline where machines virtually wipe out the human race in a war over Tiberium... but meh... this is going to be ass.
