The relevant quote from Mike Verdu being:
"Don't be surprised to see another installment of Generals 2 at some point in the future, but certainly nothing to talk about just yet."
It really isn't anything surprising TBH, but I'll be interested to see what they have in store. Still I'll be content to wait for a bit, especially given as I'll probably have to buy a new computer for it when it arrives.

its comforting to know of another Generals game but i cant say much about this unless i know more about it.

[General]

without GLA and China, Generals would not be Generals ! I hope they not forget to add these

This is known since October of last year as everyone who purchased the Premier Edition of Red Alert 3 knows and the news broke soon after.

IGN fails for reporting this as a new development.

[Pav:3d]

It is, inevitable

[Kichō]

The new C&C game will be announced this summer, it's either Gens 2 or C&C4 (A dev hinted a few days ago about a new tiberium game)

[Destiny]

If it's a C&C4 I'm sure peeps who haet KW will start screaming liek hateboys. On the other hand...I hope they don't bork Gens II. Need mah Granger, if he's still alive. Better give it the best of both worlds, from the SAGE and RNA engines.

i am the only one waiting for a Renegade 2? maybe they started from scrach after the tiberium one? maybe? can i dream please? ;_;

[Kichō]

Renegade 2 was in development but it was scrapped soon after, it was using the Red Alert scenario however basing the Soviets. It's unlikely a new C&C FPS game will be made. (Unless EA resumes Tiberium it was looking good tbh)

they should still make a C&C in another genre(even when many people will scream to the heavens if they do), because its the only way i can see them leting mods to reproduce instead of releasing another game

[Rayburn]

If anything, I'd like to see a sequel to Generals. TW/KW were flat-out forgettable and even though RA3 was actually quite decent, it doesn't really interest me any more. Let's just hope they stick to the mood and style of the original Generals rather than making it super-gritty or super-wacky. Here's hoping they'll also come up with a coherent storyline rather than an unconnected series of scenarios ripped from post-9/11 news headlines...

I wouldn't mind the russians being in generals but in a more serious tone than in RA3

That would be good. Also wouldn't mind the EU being in there as well.

Not sure how well I would take it if they didn't add those. I mean, I just don't really see any other good factions out there.

[Destiny]

Well, I don't know if Israel, India, Japan, N/S. Korea or Switzerland's Navy would be suitable. Who knows, they might make it USA-China-GLA again, heh heh. Though Russia and the EU are pretty promising since besides the USA, the EU and Russia are practically the most common words when there's talk of wargames.


*Looks at Antarctica* Now you don't guessing Battleicebergs and sonic King Penguins, do you?

[AZZKIKR]

antarctica ain't a country, but, war polar bears? hmmm

Source?

If this is true then I may well give it a miss. It seems to be too close in proximity to the release of the last title, though, so somehow I doubt it.

Still a bit early for a new tiberium game though.

[E.V.E.]

Isn't realy any new Info I'd say.
Atleast it's good to know that they will make it some day for sure.

[Rich19]

I'd buy a new generals, but skip a new tiberium one. Although I'm not sure if the modability we enjoyed in generals will be back...

[Stinger]

Since the SDK for Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3 have not been released I am not optimistic about the future of Command & Conquer modding.

Why do I have the strange idea that even if EA makes Generals II very good some ppl will still not like it because it has 'EA' on the box

It's not that (atleast not for me), but if they keep continuing releasing Games so quickly (and cutting features like in Uprising) the future just isn't looking good ...

... especially not if the next Game is about Tiberium and freakin' Kane again.

I think I'll stick with the others and pass on that then.

Fun fact; Uprising was based on community votes that 70% of the C&C community plays single player.

Uprising didn't have many cut features, aside from a few scrapped units and multiplayer but that doesn't matter, You do NOT need Multiplayer to enjoy a game, they're simply doing what Westwood did with RA1, Besides they brought back RA2 ideas and the Red Alert button.

Why not have another tiberium game? That's the only series in the franchise that have a decent story, seriousness and a nice feel to it, Red Alert is about wackiness that makes no sense, Generals is basically save the world from terrorists which wasn't explained very well. Put it this way would you rather they replace/kill Kane completely off and leave alot of questions unanswered?

Also I'm taking it that you've never played Tiberium Wars/Kanes Wrath?

Generals storyline wasn't good but the gameplay was good, and that was what mattered. I haven't played any games over and over for the storyline but I have played games over and over for their gameplay/fun.

I'm sure pretty much no one cares about the story after what they did with the storyline for Generas/ZH, so they can basically do anything with the storyline. I'd prefer another shit storyline if it meant getting the same kind of gameplay/graphics style.

The AI in games nowadays is typically pretty pathetic, I'm surprised people play single-player only.

Selling something with No Multiplayer with a Title from a Franchise wich always had Multiplayer is just a downgrade. And alot of People need Mulitplayer to enjoy a game, because nothing is more fun than to play with someone who you know and the AI sooner or later will keep doing the same predictable stuff.

And about Kane, I simply am bored by constantly hearing " Kane Lives! ", " Kane is back ", the People get the Idea.
I simply dislike the Tiberium Universe.

Don't know where you took that from, but that isn't even slightly true.
