Command & Conquer MMO a Possibility?

Posted by Soulskill on from the +1-sandbag-of-blocking dept.

TheProphet92 sends along a speculative piece about the future of EA's popular RTS franchise, writing: "EA's real-time strategy games don't have the luxury of extensive funding the way some other franchises do. EA has been milking their game engines for all they're worth and then some. They have been using various versions of the 'Sage' engine for the past half-dozen or so RTS games, and they need money to make a new one. Perhaps an MMO is the way to go for EA, using none other than their famous Command & Conquer franchise."

    I for one would pay to see fifty sims battling a gargantuan chromatic dragon, with epic furniture.

    Umm, I wouldn't..

    You should get out more!.

    Yes, but Warcraft has actually had some kind of plot and usable characters.

    I think it was Command and Conquer: Red Alert that actually had good video sequences that featured believable army officers in not cheaply made uniform imitations. RA3 was just... I don't know, if I were fourteen years old I might have latched onto the eye-candy, but seeing as I'm twice that age I couldn't help but feel those scantily clothed super-soldieresses made the whole thing look very, very cheap.

    It scares me to think how EA would one-up that in an MMO *brrr*.

    Lucky you. The video sequences were a joke. It felt like an Anime-parody. A bad one at that.

    I, for one, am very grateful for pirated copies of such games. Saves me a lot of frustration.
