New Command & Conquer Game In Development
jujubees writes "Worthplaying is reporting that EA's Mark Skaggs has sent out a newsletter to long time Command & Conquer fans quietly announcing that the team behind C&C: Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge and C&C Generals is working on an all-new Command & Conquer product." From the article: "You will also see a major enhancement to the Sage graphics engine we originally created for Command & Conquer Generals. Expect us to leverage and continue to evolve this powerful engine as we start work on our new Command & Conquer game."
Amen.
EA destroyed Command and Conquer. Red Alert 2 was still is the greatest of all strategy games. For every move, there was a countermove. For every unit, there was a weakness, for every strategy, there was a counterstrategy. The game was fast, fun, frantic and solid.
Contrast to Generals. Slow, glitchy, uncustomisable. And stragtey? Just build tanks, tanks, tanks. No brain required. And the racism! I think this game has to be the most racist gae ever made. It's the only game I've ever seen with a ELSPA "Discrimination" rating. They whored the game on the back of 9/11 paranoia, clash of civiliations crap. Thanks EA, thanks a lot.
May the Maths Be with you!
