A small tibtwilight news
Yeah again but very small, the PC Gamer mag ask some question to EA, and one about CnC Tiberium Twilight:
Quote:
Q: Since EA bought out Westwood, is there going to be a Tiberian Twilight?
A: Ho ho ho!
Remember, "Ho Ho Ho !" is a copyright of SantaClaus since all the times, so that will be for Christmas but we don't know if it will be for 2004. QUICK_EDIT
I think there's still hope it'll be a good game. Because it isn't made by EA Pacific, the ones that made RA2 (a crap game if compared to other C&C's IMO) It is being made by EALA, Former Westwood. With many original Westwood guys, i think. QUICK_EDIT

EA set estimated time to have a project ready. Do you still wonders why in the end of every year you see a Fifa soccer game released and all other EA sports game? They have estimated time to finish their projects. EA doesn't care about quality: they want TIME. TIME is money. Blizzard spent more than 3 years working on Warcraft 3. When it was released, it didnt had even half of bugs that Generals had... because they had time to test, to improve the engine, to fix bugs, etc... Generals was not enough tested. EA will repeat the same mistake. I'm sure, it was not EAP's fault. _________________

I didn't notice much errors in Generals... unless you mean the crappy interface, dumb ai, and uninspired units/dull gameplay...I mean sometimes in a unit battle i order a group of units to do something, then some units go turn around completely.....then i can't surpress a scream
However it's a fun game to play for half an hour orso.. but then it gets boring and i get back to TS modding or play some UTk3
But i think the game ITSELF sucks...and not mainly because of the errors. I mean you don't need many hours of testing to see that you should REDO all of unit AI. But of course they didn't have time to redo the AI...because of EA. QUICK_EDIT

the game had several cheats like, for example, the American barracks. If you sold it, you'd gain a bunch of Rangers... much more than what you spent to buy it. Havard himself posted a list with 18 bugs (some were really bad) when they were working on the 1.5 patch... and there are still a bunch of bugs to be fixed... _________________

Ive heard some rumors but i want to see something else before confirming their veracity. But definitely i dont think EA can pop out something comparable to TS or previous games... _________________ QUICK_EDIT
EA says: Make a 3d game with a new engine + bunch of units + multiplayer + map editor in 6 months!!!
EALA will do, but it will be bugged, rushed, lacking details, etc....
They need time... even Blizzard wouldn't be able to make miracles...
Isn't necessary build a new engine, EALA can use a improved version of Generals Engine (like RA2 that uses a upgraded version of the TS engine without old TS bugs) & can EALA re-use the map Editor like the last c&c Map editors (...Final Sun... Final Alert 2...).
With all this only is necessary create the TS World (graphics, sounds, few new code on the engine) and... ho ho ho! TT in 6 mounths more or less.
EDIT: The philosophy of a programmer is re-use the available material & if not have any material, the programmer create it... _________________ C&C:Reloaded > GDI, Nod, Allies, Soviets & Yuri... & TS terrain!
