Posted on PlanetCNC (but the quote is from GameStop) two days ago, but I just saw it...

Quote:

Freeman's game credits include script credit for upcoming titles Van Helsing, Mission Impossible: Operation Surma, and Command and Conquer 3. In the area of film and TV, Freeman has written and developed....

Note that Tiberian Sun was called C&C 2, not Red Alert.

Yes, I saw this too. Very interesting.

I suppose Renegade must be C&C: 2 and a half.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

Nah, he said a few times before that there would be another C&C game. And had my reasons to believe it too.

At least, if that article is true, they've got a guy to actually write a storyline.

If anyone wrote a storyline for Generals, they must've been retarded.

Actually, though, that's really the only area that Generals sucked. Graphically and gameplay wise, it was pretty good. It's just the fact that it might as well have had no story/continuity combined with the fact that it had nothing to do with C&C that makes people hate it. So, if this new C&C is a Tiberian sequel, it has a chance as long as they put some effort into it.

If it's a Generals sequel, fuck 'em.

I won't stand for another freakin' Generals. I hope this is either:

1) Renegade in the Tiberian Sun universe or...

2) A sequel to Firestorm.

I hear ya. I hate Generals. I wish I never bought it. It just isn't C&C. Just a cheap game with the C&C title stuck in it to make it sell better. If someone else other than EA (Activision) owned it then maybe Westwood would still be around. But anyway. EA will never get hold of DooM III. Very Happy

1. You don't have to stand for it, just don't buy the game if you don't like it.

2. Would you really want those games above to be made? Cause if you think they made Generals like a peice of crap, then they will most prob do the same with those games.

Maybe that's what petroglyph is working on... If they were the original developers of C&C, it would make sense for them to contract the sequals. They just have to make sure that the never sell actual 'shares' of their company to EA, just contract with them for distribution...

Read their news. Does that not sound like a hint?

Petroglyph - October 24, 2003 signs devlopment deal!

All of us here at Petroglyph are excited to announce that we have signed a deal for a AAA title with a leading software entertainment publisher!

For strategic and contractual reasons, we are not allowed to give any details about the nature or publisher we're working with, but we can say that we couldn't have asked for a better license, project, or publisher.

R.I.P. TreyD. You will be missed, but not forgotten.

They're saying that they couldn't have asked for a better (...) publisher, so that can't be EA.

In the Jobssection however, they are looking for a Game Programmer with "PC Real-Time Strategy game programming experience a plus". This could be any RTS, however.

But good PR and to maintain a real working relationship would call for you to "Swallow your pride" and speak of good things about them. In a way it is called "Politics or Business".

Well, Red Alert was given the "Best real-time strategy game of the year" award by PC gamer a few years ago. And of course Westwood (GREAT company) is now owned by EA (BAD company) and Westwood made C&C, so anyway, back to where I was before, could be EA, becuase people quit. Okay, I'm not making any sense. I'll shutup. Razz

Excluding Renegade I am still of the opinion that the first C&C was the best C&C title that Westwood ever made.

The reason I say this is that it was extremely well polished.
- The story line was excellent.
- It had real actors in the cinematic scenes.
- The game play was well balanced both in terms of Nod/GDI
and in terms of the units you had to choose from as either side. **
- The in game graphics were good (for the time).
- It was a huge amount of fun to play on a LAN.

** - I can remember games where someone sold everything to do massive infantry rushes Smile

However later titles seemed to be a bit rushed.
For example I think it was Red-Alert (1) that had really unbalanced sides, where it really sucked to be Allied, unless the map had water (hence you could build destroyers) in which case it sucked to be USSR.

But with today�s fast hardware writing a top down RTS such as C&C should not be that difficult.

The real problem areas would be:
- Balancing the Units.
- AI players.
- Creating the cinematic scenes.

Since a freebee game doesn�t really need the cinematic scenes you could just omit them.

So I would suggest that if you want a really great C&C 3 you could just write it yourself (there seems to be a lot of talent in the mod forum).

Writing this type of game is a much easier prospect than trying to write a full 3D game such as Renegade.

Just my 2 cents

True; I was being sarcastic. I should've put a smiley there Smile

Anyway, they are producing an AAA RTS title from a well-known publisher etc. This all screams C&C. However, I fail to understand why EA would first "consolidate" (read: shut down) Westwood and start making C&C 's themselves, only to delegate that task to a new non-EA company with Westwood-employees all over the place. It makes no sense.
