Generals 2? Or a revival of Tiberium or a new FPS altogether?

[Dutchygamer]

The skull reminds me an awful lot of Cabal/Legion.
I can only hope if the make another Tiberium RTS, that they ignore their previous games, and continue where Kane's Wrath left of.
That, or finish Tiberium ffs

[Destiny]

I'd prefer if they made Tiberium...at least give it a decent name :|

[TheDR]

Generals 2 would be cool but only if it had the same gameplay as Generals. None of this new crap, i want dozers and unit building

Kinda like StarCraft2 is to StarCraft?

[Stinger]

I am very excited... right now... /robotic monotone

You can change the name of shit, but it will still be shit.

EA is trying to shift the focus away from the corporate brand name by renaming its in-house studios and giving them new identities. Funny they should do this now after they closed the doors on almost every studio they acquired in the past or renamed them to EA <Insert City Name Here>.

Are they trying to be like Activision?

Quote from Bobby Kotick, CEO Activision, in September 2010:

"The core principle of how we run the company is the exact opposite of EA," Kotick said. "EA will buy a developer and then it will become 'EA Florida', 'EA Vancouver', 'EA New Jersey', whatever. We always looked and said, 'You know what? What we like about a developer is that they have a culture, they have an independent vision and that's what makes them so successful.' We don't have an Activision anything - it's Treyarch, Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer.

EA recently pulled the same crap trick with its Medal of Honor reboot by calling its EALA division "Danger Close" - and look how that one turned out.

Don't buy into the EA hype. A leopard doesn't change its spots, and EA doesn't know how to make a quality game.

I've passed by the EA Montreal offices, and while they are fun people they seem to be really into the casual stuff. I have no idea how it will turn out but topping the fail of C&C4 will be difficult.

Mirrors Edge was quite good as well.

[Libains]

And they do tend to do well as publishers of damn good games, look at Mass Effect 2 for a prime example

@ New C&C: if it's not Generals 2, I'm honestly not really interested.

This, if its "Tiberium 5!" or some crap then they need to shoot themselves in the face.

[Alias]

I am brimming with excitement. Derp.

[n5p29]

I think the C&C part is not serious. I don't expect much till there's more detailed information. :|

but I think if there's another C&C it's not from Tiberium universe since it's already FIN. maybe a RA universe game, probably not the RA4 (I see RA3 still doing good), maybe RA FPS (or even MMO)??
Generals 2 still have possibilities, but I'm not optimistic about this. except they reboot this game, since Generals storyline is almost nothing.

Same here. I gave up on RA and CNC after CNC3 and I can't say I regret it.

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Perhaps it will be a new C&C series... which might be a good thing, tbh. RA3 was a huge disappointment compared to RA2, will/would Generals 2 be any different? Probably not.

Not to mention it probably won't be as easy to mod as Generals was, and lets be honest, that's the only reason most of us kept/keep playing that game...

[Mbob61]

Generals 2 could be interesting
Lets just hope they think it through before releasing.

[deltaepsilon]

"Pretty far out" is probably 2 months, if I'm interpreting it correctly.

[Admiral FCS]

Hmm. Interesting.

Guess Generals 2 would be everyone's most wishful thinkning. C&C's failing miserably after Generals IMO, and hopefully this game can bring it back up to a worth-looking levell.

[Soul]

I hope the modding capabilities are good, RA3 had some bad hard-coded stuff iirc.

[GuardianTempest]

And that's why we're here, to see how we can make bad games look better....or that's what I think it said....*checks script*

I really wish EA can do something wise for once.
If this works, I'll do everything in my power to upgrade this pc.

Spoiler

But then their Generals-2 will probably still lose to Situation Zero. /fanboy

Wrong, the 'Kane Storyline' is finished, but not the Tiberium Universe.

Prequel?

[Sgt. Rho]

Also I said Kane, not Tiberium. Also that, a prequel is also easily possible.
