Especially when compared with EA, who despite being a distributor for some really good games, doesn't have the greatest in-house game creation staff. We're not talking SCEE/SCEA here, we're talking freaking EA - grand producers of shite.

EA essentially stole the engine for Generals from Real War didnt they?

I cant hate them too much, they released NFSMW

Outof all the C%C's id have to say Tiberium Sun was my least favourite, I just didnt like the universe its set in very much, far preferred the original and the RA series

I'll buy it regardless though, out of monkey brand loyalty

Ah, good ol Need for Speed - programmed by Distinctive Software, merely marketed and published by EA...yet another decent game they've published...that they're using an in-house production company for the C&C series makes me all ick inside.

All the WW talent went to Petroglyph - I've kept in touch with a couple of the guys that went over to EA (including original programmers from the first C&C / Dune 2) and they're all in office jobs out of the programming or C&C lines.

It's kinda like Thief III - only Looking Glass Studios could do it properly, once it went over to someone else they just slapped the Thief realm onto the Deus Ex 2 engine and it was occasionally painful and uninspired.

*cums*

I really don't know what else to say. I've been waiting years for this game.

Is there perhaps another EA out there that I don't know about? One that doesn't get sued continually by its employees for unfair employer practices, 3rd world gold-farmer-esque working conditions, and churns out year after year of fucking Madden NFL 1994-2006?

If you're talking about a different EA, then we can chat good game creation - till then, I had to go back to 93 to find an original interesting game by Electronic Arts (in the form of Mega Drive's "Road Rash")

I found these today over at C&C Den, dunno if they're legit or not though.

Hammer · 11th May 2006, 9:40am

Well it looks pretty dammed good if it's from the real game.

0x21 · 11th May 2006, 9:45am

oh my. PC upgrading time methinks

-- Auto Merged Post below --
And frankly I'm not concerned who makes the game if its still a good game. aye EA makes a lot of similar sporting games, but they seem to sell well. I'll reserve judgement til I've seen the results.

Withnail · 11th May 2006, 9:51am

Aw man... Dune 2... i LOVED that game.

Think a pc upgrade is deff in order for this game, I wasnt a huge fan until I played generals, and I loved it and I wentback to play them all as much as I could!!

Fantastic
