Mercifull Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Press release: REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 20, 2006 - The epic struggle between the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and The Brotherhood of NOD continuesÃÆââ¬Å¡Ã¢ââ¬Ã¦and the third Tiberium War is about to begin. Welcome back, Commander. Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that Command & ConquerÃÆââ¬Å¡Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢, the groundbreaking series that put the Real-time Strategy (RTS) genre on the map, is returning in full force with Command & ConquerÃÆââ¬Å¡Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ 3 Tiberium Wars*. This highly-anticipated next chapter takes the popular series back to its roots in the Tiberium universe and features the fast, fluid gameplay that Command & Conquer is known for and a gripping story that will redefine storytelling in RTS games. It is 2047 and the stakes could not be higher. Tiberium-a self-replicating alien substance that has infected the Earth-is spreading like a radioactive ice age. The GDI, a high-tech alliance of the world's most advanced nations, is fighting to contain Tiberium, but Kane, the megalomaniacal leader of The Brotherhood of NOD has other plans for Earth. Kane's secret society turned superpower is bent on using Tiberium to take control and transform humanity into his twisted vision of the future. All-out war rages over Tiberium and the fate of the planet rests in the balance. "Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars combines fast-paced gameplay with new ways to tell a story in an RTS game," said Mike Verdu, Executive Producer at EA Los Angeles (EALA). "We're building a next generation Command & Conquer game that is true to the spirit of this classic franchise, but is updated with state-of-the-art visuals, added strategic depth, and gameplay innovations that will move the genre forward. I am very excited to be working on this amazing game." "We have been waiting to reveal this game for quite some time and are thrilled to bring the series back to where it all began," said Louis Castle, VP of Creative Development at EA Los Angeles (EALA) and co-founder of Westwood Studios, creator of the Command & Conquer series. "The Tiberium universe is a personal favorite of mine, and this saga's new direction will prove to be a worthy addition to one of the most celebrated RTS franchises."

Add layers of strategy to your gaming experience by building mobile bases, wielding the power of terrifying Ion Storms on the battlefield, or customizing your armies by combining units.

mixand Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 oooh! i want to get that :) "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel AdamsMy new site. [bETA] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker6 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Why are they doing another one, its been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anesthesia Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Good point Striker6. Why bother making any more first person shooters either I guess? Everyone has played Doom so there is no reason to make any more. Come to think of it why bother making any games at all? What a stupid comment. Why bother? How about to play out a new story, to have an opportunity to play games with more depth, to exploit new graphical technologies and last but not least... BECAUSE THE FANS WANT A NEW ONE.

Duke_Freedom Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Been official for a while already :P, but yeah it looks like a good game. Hope it will prove to be one when it comes out ;). The value of my bank at its height. Estimated value at the peak of the rares market: 250 billion+.Most likely the largest trade in RuneScape ever. Estimated value at the peak of the rares market: 70 billion+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Putter Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Yea, it's been official for a very long time. I might pick up that CnC 10 years dealy, because I've never actually played a CnC game (I have Generals for some reason, but have never played it :? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonsie Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 If it holds true to the original C&C it will get a look in, else it's just a waste of time. Nothing can beat the original. Hand of Nod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minim3jr Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 goddamit.....I hate when game makers do this, after they make 1 or 2 they make aload of games which should be called 3, 4, 5, 6 etc and then realese #3 and people go mad with excitement, just like the sims 2, it's just another sims game where you can do more stuff and now have to buy more add-ons to get everything from previous add-ons, it's a freaking waste of money!!!!!!!!!

The next C&C game will be the third in this storyline, thats why its called C&C 3. www.PETAkillsanimals.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak722 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Westwood studios would still be here if EA hadn't taken over the company... :evil: The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.

Yeah, but EA now retains the Command & Conquer series, not Petroglyph... The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.
