Command & Conquer 4

[2furio]

If people haven't noticed, rumors have been floating around that C&C4 is in the works.

First of all, we have the EA survey that indicates: "epic conclusion to real-time strategy series will feature role-playing-style character classes, MMORPG-like persistent progression, co-op campaign, and all-new story with "grittier" cinematics"

And secondly, this tweet: "EA Los Angeles Announces Development of Command & Conquer 4"

The link in the picture leads to the EA Press Site Homepage but there doesn't seem to be any sign of C&C4 on it:

Gamespot has a C&C4 page up but it doesn't reveal anything new:

...except the "Command & Conquer Franchise Retrospective" video is pretty interesting.


Just a note that the latest C&C newsletter is out today with some interesting news:

Interesting quote from the Gamespot article: "the game will have no digital rights management software" BUT "since C&C4 requires players to be online all the time in order to prevent cheating, we'll be shipping without any form of DRM"

with that I think it's EA takes on Demigod...only with C&C units.

[Dr Houbenheimer]

hey it says it's the "epic conclusion" does this mean that it'll be the last game in the series?

[korge]

Meh.

C&C died a long time ago.

Yup. basically since the first C&C, Earth was on it's last legs and this will be the final game where Tiberium renders all of earth uninhabital. But i guess that dosen't stop some biosuit techonology to preseve human life and continue the story line.

[Dr Houbenheimer]

What about that FPS set in C&C called Tiberium? Is that set before or after the events of C&C 4?

[donaldgladden]

I think it was set sometime after C&C 3, but the got canned about a year ago i think or maybe longer.

[krazyammo]

C&C4 Requires 24/7 Internet Connection which sort of seems like DRM...in a little way.

I thought I saw a gameplay vid on youtube uploaded just recently, huh

[donaldgladden]

the last gameplay footage was uploaded 5 months ago and the same footage was first released a year ago. Right before they canned the game.

This is the 1 and only reason why I am not buying this game.
