kill yourself for opening this thread.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Not Renegade? Not interested.

All I can say, really. I liked Generals and hopefully, they'll include more realistic scale in the game. Giant infantry from Gen1 was annoying.

 

[Acepilotf14]

Bioware?
Franchise death inbound.

 

[Mr Stabby]

Hope it's better than RA3.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Hope it's better than RA3.

and C&C4

I loved Generals, great news.
However, it's very strange to see Orcas(?) and orange painted tanks (GDI?) in this...

Perhaps, but I hope they put a lot of over the top tech and units like in the previous Generals. Stuff like the overlord tank, particle cannon, etc.

 

[Combine Hybrid]

From Bioware? Bound to be better than C&C3 and RA3.

 

[Remus]

C&C3 was the last good C&C game, hopefully things will change with this one.

 

[Barnz]

Yuri's Revenge is the last good C&C game.

 

[ríomhaire]

Tiberian Dawn was the last good C&C game.

 

[Stormy]

Ah generals was great. It was the last one that even felt like c&c. Hope its better then anything from recent years

 

[tomemozok]

About time someone made a generals 2

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Bioware is developing it. Expect Casual Romance Sim: The RTS.

 

[Lucid]

Victory Games are the ones that are actually developing it.
Bioware's just a big name to slap on it.

Can't say I'm excited or upset over this news really, Generals was fun and all but I never really thought about a sequel to it.

 

[Ennui]

Generals was the last C&C game worth giving the slightest shit about, but still:

Not Renegade? Not interested.

You'd think they'd know what a gem they had there. I would buy the SHIT out of Renegade HD or something like that, if they didn't touch the gameplay but just updated the graphics and netcode and all that.

 

[Kitfox]

As much as I love my C&C games prior and including RA2. I think the franchise needs a complete reboot but should stick to the source material.

Also I could never understand why generals was branded with the C&C name. It always felt like a marketing ploy because EA was worried it wouldn't sell well.

Oh good.

 

[Paulaner]

I love RTS games. I love C&C. I love Bioware. The perfect storm.

Do you know about Renegade X?

Who could possibly deny that games aren't art form after games like Dragons Age 2?

"When you press a button, something awesome has to happen."

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

Why aren't they sequel-ing Renegade? :y

 

[Evo]

Yuri's Revenge is the last good C&C game.

Damn right, all downhill from there

The problem with Renegade was that the good part of it (the multiplayer) was literally tacked-on in the last few months of development. The bit they spent the money on (the single player) was just some generic crap, really. The game didn't sell too well, the in-development sequel was canned, and another nail was hammered into Westwood Studios' coffin.

 

[Tagaziel]

Anyone who claims the same people who made Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect are now developing Generals 2 is, well, silly, to say the least. The core game is being developed by Victory Games, part of which is Jon Van Caneghem, the guy behind Might & Magic, particularly Heroes of Might & Magic III.

Guarantee you that if this game goes well then they will look at Renegade.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Guarantee you they won't. They already ditched another in-development C&C FPS a while back.

 

[MorganFreeman911]

Do you know about Renegade X?

Whaat

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

Your dick, Pi's mouth

 

[Lucid]

Time to crush everyone's hopes for this game!

[Stigmata]

It's perfectly logical. F2P games make a lot of money. EA likes money. Therefore it makes sense to turn any IP into a F2P game.

 

[Shift]

Can't they just... you know, make the game and sell it?

 

[Bad^Hat]

This move allows "gamers complete access****** to the cutting-edge visuals, sound and destruction of a full, AAA strategy game – for free," as EA puts it.
