EA REVEALS TIBERIUM AND LAUNCHES
PLAYERS INTO AN EPIC BATTLE FOR POWER
LOS ANGELES, Calif., December 18, 2007 – Tiberium is a mysterious extraterrestrial crystal that shatters the energy output of traditional fossil fuels. It has the power to save our civilization. It also has the power to destroy it. Over two-and-a-half years in development, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today revealed Tiberium™, a new intellectual property that brings a rich, original fiction to life through intense tactical action and visceral first-person shooting. Set in a stunning sci-fi world with spectacular visual effects and dramatic environments, Tiberium takes players on an adventure through an environmentally-devastated world and places them in the heart of an epic battle for control this powerful energy source.
For eleven years, an alien tower has stood dormant, looming like an unholy mountain over a wasteland once known as the Mediterranean Sea. The tower was thought to be a relic of the Third Tiberium War; a devastating war fought for control over Tiberium crystal. It is not a relic. It is not dormant. Deep within the tower, plans are in motion for an alien invasion. This is where the Tiberium adventure begins. Players step into the shoes of Forward Battle Commander Ricardo Vega and will assemble an assortment of elite squads to combat the global crisis. Armed with an intense arsenal of weapons including a transforming personal weapon system, multi-launch homing missiles, capital ship bombardments and tactical ion cannon strikes, Vega will lead the fight from the front lines.
Featuring a unique blend of first-person shooting and tactical squad combat, every moment in Tiberium is intense, every mission leaves players breathless. To take the first-person shooter experience deeper into strategic combat, players will control multiple infantry, armor, and air squads as the fight escalates. In Tiberium, Vega is the most powerful presence on the battlefield, and the squads are his most decisive weapon. Players can take multi-squad control combat into single-player or bring the action into online multiplayer battles.
“Tiberium is our ‘One Ring’, our ‘Force’. It is the connective tissue that defines this universe and tears it apart,” said Chris Plummer, Executive Producer at EA Los Angeles. “After two years of pre-production, it is exciting to finally reveal this game and its rich fiction to the world. We’ve put a lot of effort into evolving the tactical shooter experience by taking core gameplay compulsions like commanding, choice and dominating your enemies and delivering them in first-person. Some of the weapons and mechanics are truly innovative for a first-person game. We’re very proud to be part of a project that has the potential to really make a mark on the cannon of sci-fi fantasy fiction.”
Mike Verdu, VP and General Manager at EA Los Angeles added, “EALA has a long history of developing groundbreaking real-time strategy games with the Command & Conquer series. That series also originally introduced the Tiberium universe to gamers worldwide. Now, we are growing Tiberium from a simple backdrop to a fully realized universe with its own unique, hybrid squad-based shooter gameplay. This is the birth of a new franchise -- we couldn’t be more excited.”
Developed at EA Los Angeles, Tiberium will be available worldwide in Fall 2008 for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system, and PC. The game has not yet been rated by the ESRB. For more information on Tiberium, please visit: www.Tiberium.com.

I'm a little iffy on the squad based part. Could never really get into 'em. EA really is trying to go all out with C&C, aren't they.

Do i actually need to say something ? Just think about the word "EPIC" ... FAILURE , and what JJ just pointed out. And i can tell you guys, that this game is going to end like the newest Medal of Honor, overhyped, faked freedom of movement, filled with shitty bugs and way too short.

That name... I mean, even Tiberium Vengeance sounds better than just plain Tiberium...

I am so glad that I bought Call of Duty 4.
And here we have ... another Sci Fi Shooter.
This will be even less interessting to me than Renegade was ( And it even was kind of good actually )

I doubt it, since it's been in development for like 2 years
Some of the old WW guys did some work on it. It's far too early to be going 'OMFG, EA IS MAKING IT SO ITS GONNA SUXXORZ'Actually for some people it's never too early to say that, but whatever.

Whoa, WHOAAAAAAAA two years in an EA studio. WHoaaaaaaaaaaa, now that's an arguement. 1 year of sitting on their asses, not patching Zero Hour or The First Decade, doing some concept arts, the other year creating this first lame ass alpha version. 9 months later we will get a half assed beta version.
It's like saying: HEY I PREPARED THIS FLASHMOVIE FOR 3 MONTHS, LOLZ, THE REST I MADE IN 1 WEEK !!111 <--- Typical Newgrounds example.

I'm just gonna wait another ten years and buy "Command & Conquer: The Last Decade" for $5 and a packet of crisps to go, with C&C 3 Tiberium Wars, Kane's Wrath, C&C 4 Tiberium Strikes Back, Secret Tactics of Nod, GDI Assault, C&C 5 Return of the Scrin, Kane Returns Again, C&C Tiberium and C&C Tiberium 2: Renegade. And that's all I'm ever gonna pay for it.

10 years = decade.
Last decade = the previous decade.
Therefore he is stating about the games this year, and the one's coming in the next 10 years - and he'll only buy them after 10 years when it's real cheap.

Can't say that I'm too optimistic about this game either...As it was mentioned before, the title couldn't be any worse and I have the feeling that this is basically a C&C themed Halo. A generic sci-fi-shooter with a lot of advertising that makes it look like the game God would play. They should rather do something to create a decent RA3 instead of making this.

All I'm saying is that it seems like they're not rushing this one. I like the general unit designs a lot more than the ones in C&C3.
