 Posted: Mon, 24th Sep 2007 09:00 Post subject: [NEWS] New C&C FPS (unofficially) confirmed |
|
 |
| Quote: | Earlier this week, Electronic Arts posted a job listing for its Los Angeles studio. The position in question is a sound designer to work on "a next-generation first person shooter game" from "a widely recognized leading sci-fi franchise." Though EA owns the rights to the sci-fi series Syndicate, Wing Commander, and System Shock, EALA is most famous for one sci-fi series in particular--Command & Conquer.
The job listing lead to speculation of a remake or sequel to the 2002 shooter Command & Conquer: Renegade. While the possibility seemed likely, today GameSpot received direct confirmation from a source with knowledge of EALA's development resource allocation that work on a multiplatform C&C FPS is well under way.
Though the source, who spoke under condition of anonymity, wouldn't go into much detail, the project is indeed a "Renegade/Battlefield-style FPS." No information on a title, release date, or specific platforms was provided, but games from EALA's World War II FPS series Medal of Honor have been released for the PC, Wii, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The most recent C&C game, Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars, was a best-seller on both the 360 and PC. |

Dunno. I really enjoyed Renegade.
P.S. If I remember correctly a few months ago there were news/rumours about EA acquiring Crysis engine for some C&C shooter. Maybe this is it.

Renegade was a nice fps although not the type that makes you wow. Let's see what's this all about.

Yeah I think I played renegade for 15 mins or so. Just waay too good a concept for such a mediocre game. If they really make good on this by using a kickass engine like Crysis or UE3, then I will be really impressed. However, until I hear more I am def not holding my breath for anything more than another attempt at making even more money off the franchise.

If EA is working on what I think they're working, then they're working on BattleField3: Command & Conquer. Let the milking begin.
