Look at what I found, EA is making CNC3 for mobile phones
And there was a video which was announcement by Kane himself

From what I saw in those pics, it seems like they're using Tiberium Dawn's(CNC1) engine....

Why is it that you keep defending EA although they are tossing more shit at us than any other gaming company?
What do they have to do for your enthusiasm to cease? Just wondering...

Games for mobiles are one of the most obvious signs of franchise milking because 95% of them suck arse and nobody gives a toss about them anyway.

why is it that you keep bashing EA with things EVERY COMPANY DOES? or whats the mater? to true for you?

i dont say anything about bashing them for the bugs or that stuff, but bashing them for this? are you going to bash gravity for the Ragnarok Online Mobile games too? blizzard for the Starcraft mobile game? bash ea for anouncyng one expansion pack and then say how awesome relic is for making another expansion pack for dawn of war or company of heroes? claiming how EA only want to put the game at the market as fast as possible but then say how many fixes and balances are in Call of Duty patch? etc etc etc
seriusly, bashing EA without reason its not cool anymore, stop doing it

[Rayburn]

I'm not bashing EA for the fun of it, I DO have my reasons. Sure, other companies do hype their games too but nobody yells louder than EA. Look at Battlecast Primetime that half hour of starry eyed "there ain't no problems, everything is beautiful, buy our games for a better life"-bollocks. EA also tends to take classic concepts and cocks them up in an attempt to improve what ain't broken like they did with Red Alert 2. And EA seems to be the only one getting away with shamelessly uninspired rip-offs like that Tiberium-crap. Did I already mention the franchise milking? They give us C&C3 tea-cups, C&C3 T-shirts, C&C3 flashlights, C&C3 vegetable peelers and a fucking C&C3-NOVEL! I do have my reasons for bashing EA. Unlike some people, I do not hate them because I don't like APOC's face or something, I ain't that daft. Also, just because "all companies do that" doesn't mean it's right to do it. The others are just smart enough to keep it on a level that doesn't piss me off. EA's advertising method lies beyond that level, so tough luck for them.

I don't like EA because they forced me to hand over £30 every time I wanted to buy one of their games.

[Foxhound]

Meh. EA still makes a few good games (they've done better with consoles though) but I will agree that they overdo it.

What I will mention is that you don't even seem to notice that they hardly say a thing about the games they publish but don't actually work on themselves.

You could make the same arguments against Relic for making more 40K and CoH stuff instead of making another installment in the Homeworld series.

But at least Relic doesn't have to stoop as low as T-Shirts or Mobile Phone games.

[Rayburn]

Exactly my thoughts, Alias. Thank you for bringing it to the point.

Couldn't agree more... EA is TOTALLY Overmilking Kane and the "come back" of the Tiberium Universe.

how about the Halo novels? or the world of warcraft action figures? or the elixir of final fantasy XII?

[Hobbesy]

All of which are by 5 different companies and not just one.

...thanks to that video CNC3 mobile looks better than what I've see before (in OP). Dunno about the gameplay, though.

[AZZKIKR]

RTS + Handphone = broken fingers and worn out handphone

That's not made by Relic, it's made by THQ who owns Relic.

[Whitey]

And EA is owned by... hmm. Toughie.

Can't compare apples to oranges, buddy. Relic =/= EA

Now why don't you leave the poor EA guys to their business. If you had any sense of capitalism, economics, and the like, you would respect their actions and know that it is the consumer, not the producer, that decides what the producer produces. They'll keep churning out their products as long as you keep buying them.

While I kinda hope this might be good (C&C3 wasn't that bad, it has mod potential, much like Generals) that Kane video was filled with so much blatant, obvious advertising that it made me laugh hard.

[Archon]

C&C 3 for mobile phones.What a.........bad idea.It sucks like AOE and other RTS for phones.

[Foxhound]

They also made Call of Duty, Rainbow Six, and several other hit games for mobile phones (though, I can't blame anyone for making tetris for something).

I will admit that I want a GDI shirt, but that's about it.
