Steven Spielberg team up with EALA.
Have you ever imagined a Command & Conquer game directed by Steven Spielberg? I have to admit that, till few minutes ago, I've never thought about the movies of a C&C game directed by Steven Spielberg, but, with the press-release I've read few minutes ago, I've found out that nothing is impossible on this world. Can you believe in the press-release below?

"EA and Steven Spielberg Team Up To Develop Three Original Videogames
October 14, 2005 – In a ground-breaking long term agreement, Electronic Arts today announced that Academy Award® winner Steven Spielberg will be collaborating with the game makers at EA’s Los Angeles studio (EALA) to create three new original franchise properties. Beginning this year, with offices located on site at EALA, Spielberg will work directly with EA’s development teams to offer his signature style of storytelling to the concept, design, story and artistic visualization of the new games. EA will own the intellectual properties and the game franchises will be developed, published and distributed worldwide by EA. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
"I have been playing EA games for years and have watched them master the interactive format." said Steven Spielberg. "Having watched the game industry grow from a niche into a major creative force in entertainment, I have a great deal of respect for EA's understanding of the interactive format. I'm looking forward to working closely with the team in Los Angeles."
“There is no greater storyteller than Steven Spielberg,” said EA Chairman and CEO Larry Probst. “In addition to his gift for pleasing movie audiences, he has an innate understanding of games and how to immerse players into a fantastic world of action and characters.”
“It’s incredibly exciting to be collaborating with Steven Spielberg,” noted Neil Young, VP and Studio Head at EALA. “He shares our vision for the potential of the medium and has the passion and creativity to help us finally deliver on the promise that a game can not only engage and compel you with its interactivity, but can also move you emotionally.“
The mission at EALA is to be the definitive creative destination for game makers and game development in Southern California. It is home to the award-winning Medal of Honor™, Command & Conquer™ and The Lord of the Rings™ franchises. EALA drives innovation in technology, art and game design by employing a first-class studio of game-makers at its campus in Playa Vista, CA. The studio is also home to EA’s Worldwide Music and Music Marketing group and EA Mobile."

Amazing! I would think that the announcement above was a very late april's fool, if it wasn't posted straight at EA's site. But that doesn't mean that any of these games is a C&C. We can only pray, from now on! Last edited by Banshee on Sun Oct 16, 2005 12:12 am; edited 2 times in total QUICK_EDIT
Steven Spielberg working together with EA on a Command & Conquer game... That's the least probable thing that will ever happen.. Well they could have him to make FMVs
Yeah but this sure is interesting... _________________ Tesla - Where positive energy meets negative energy QUICK_EDIT

It wouldn't be C&C without Kane directing the cutscenes.
Anyway, it definitely isn't C&C, since it says original games. However, that doesn't work very well with EA. _________________

The movie was good, but there's really no point in making an RTS game for it. There's 100's of WW2 RTS's out there. But oh I hope EALA pulls them ztyping selves togetha, and MAKE TIBERIAN TWILIGHT, GODDAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!! Or RA3. However, RA3 is really unnessacary. There's no need to continue the story. There is a need to continue the TS story. Just watch the ending movie in FS (Nod Campaign). My guess is that it's gonna be GDI, Nod, CABAL/KANE, and The Scrin, as the playable factions. _________________ Destroy to create. All for the hunt to dominate!

If they go that route they're sort of missing the actors, and completely CG cut scenes just don't work well for C&C. QUICK_EDIT

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Anyways, Steven Spielberg is not working on the next C&C. That's all there is to it. _________________ Last edited by DeathRay2K on Tue Oct 18, 2005 11:49 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT

They lack Joe Kucan. Joseph Kucan is Kane, no one else would do. QUICK_EDIT
