jerry Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 We should have a website to track where all the game developers are going :p Good idea ! I wonder if something like this is already in works. :whistle: Gamespot etc., keep track of release dates but its too cluttered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-52Stratofortress Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 There's rumors that when EALA finishes the LOTR: BFME strategy they will focus (or start) on a new C&C game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Natan Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 If EA doesn't make a C&C one, perhaps whose sites can give some ideas for mods for Generals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANova Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 EA would not scrap a popular franchise. From the looks of it, they were originally going to do C&C3 but something happened along the way and they decided to make a new series (Generals). That does not mean they did away with it altogether, just delayed it. I'm positive there will be a sequel to Tiberian Sun after LOTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Whoever said Command & Conquer III will never be released -- he never said that. He said his work was cancelled. They're working on a different Command & Conquer III now [this is according to ex-EALA and Westwood employees]... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Great. I'd love to know what happened after RA2 and how it morphed into the C&C world. I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paganinio Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 now if they could only get the original C&C and RA to work on windows xp.... i'm afraid that's impossible they're such classic games, they deserve old platform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted August 22, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 22, 2004 THAT is C&C: Tiberian Twilight? :| WTF (N) The Westwood today (if it still exists) is the polar opposite of the Westwood of 6 years ago :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daybreak Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I thought Westwood was disbanded or something like that? Anyway, yeah its sad to see what happened to the major powerhouses of the past. Bullfrog, Apogee, Westwood, Origin, LucasArts, all gone down the drain.. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insanekiwi Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 we usually play the whole c&c series at our local lan-parties. gotta love them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 As if we wont see a revival of the Command and Conquer series. Dune, C&C kickstarted and virtually created the whole genre. Now if Dune can manage to see a revival of 2 new games in recent years (Dune2000 + Emperor: Battle for Dune) then surely we will see Tiberian Twilight in the not too distant future. Geez if Activision can release such crap sequels as Dark Reign 2, I have no doubt they will have the good foresight to see that C&C3 would be a worthwhile investment. Then again the original darkreign was a great game, and Activision brought the rights to it, and DR2, was crap, hrmm maybe that says it all about Activision and sequels. Well heres hoping anyway. We need one last Nod V Gdi conflict to show us how it all ends, and if Kane was as prophetic as he would have us believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Erm, don't count on RA2 being included in the actual story of C&C :) No, I'd of thought it would be. This is the C&C story: 1) Red Alert 1. Einstien invents the time machine, goes back and kills hitler before he starts his nazi empire. WW2 never happens, but Stalin takes power. Red Alert 1 follows, with Stalin launching a full attack into Europe. Some time follows. Stalin is crushed, the soviet empire is allowed to continue but only under the supervision of the allies. 2) Red Alert 2. Some whacky guy that I can't remember the name of rebuilds the soviet union's army and attacks USA and Europe. Once again, they are defeated. This time for good. The allies realize they need to become one state to fight of the power of terrorism, so they become GDI (Global Defence Initative). ??? C&C 3. Tiberium lands on earth from outer space on a comet and starts spreading across the world. It is exceedingly mineral-rich, but very toxic. From the pictures and stuff in this thread, it seems that the fallen soviet empire start rebuilding themselves into NOD. 3) C&C1. The tiberium has now got a full hold and it is full out war against NOD. 4) C&C Tiberium sun. More of the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted August 22, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 22, 2004 Aldo, sorry, but you're wrong. I'm pretty sure C&C is a different storyline from Red Alert. Also, C&C "1" is C&C: Tiberian Dawn. C&C "2" is C&C: Tiberian Sun. C&C "3" will be C&C: Tiberian Twilight. In the course of a day, the sun first appears at dawn, then is in they sky for the daytime, and then goes down around twilight. Tiberian Twilight will be the third course of the C&C story; it's not a prequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XP_01 Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 But Tiberian Sun "3" aka Tiberian Twilight will never make it to the stores? :( Is that for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varsity Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 SPOILERS No, they are linked. At the end of the RA1 Russian campaign when Nadio shoots Stalin she says "the Brotherhood will be pleased", then Kane comes enters stage right (he whispered in Stalin's ear in an earlier FMV as an advisor/aide) and says that they can "come out of the shadows" or similar. :) Edit: Oh, and look at those Zeppelins. Recognise that logo from anywhere? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesp Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Red Alert and C&C IS the same story line. The fallen soviet empire becomes well... http://www.tasmediafile.com/Projects/Reneg...goSheetcopy.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
