Tiberium
Subject description: Because Tiberium Wars was a huge name...
After so many rumours of a future C&C FPS game, a new game is about to be announced. At least, according to some people, the next cover story of the Game Informer magazine (which I never heard of till today) will be about a game called Tiberium, which is an FPS game set 11 years after the third tiberium war. The fan took the pictures below with his cell phone said this about the game, so these are fan words and not official words:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"According to Game Informer, the C&C FPS, "Tiberium", is to be set 11 years after the end of the 3rd tiberium war. You'll play Ricardo Vega, a Used-to-be- retired GDI field commander. I'm not going to rewrite the article, so just think of it as GRAW + Battlefield + R6: Vegas in the C&C Universe. So far, you'll be leading a R.A.I.D (Rapid Assault and Intercept Deployment) around the location of the tower in the Mediterranean Red Zone that NOD defended until it was built. There's no mentioning of you fighting NOD, but you will be fighting new Scrin infantry (the two given were Shrikes, little knee-high robots with blasters an a self-destruct, and Archons, think Scrin versions of Elites from Halo)
The units that were announced that you could command were standard infantry squads, missile infantry squads, a fugly version of the Titan, and new Orcas. You'll still get special powers, like an "Orbital Slug" that you can call upon your foes.
In any case, go read it, it's real. The C&C FPS has arrived! "
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And, my honest opinion is that I hate rumours, but I believe the guy. A C&C FPS game is something that was being worked on, considering the job offers spotted at the EA site before. And, a game with such a lame name (it has beaten Tiberium Wars, afterall) is definitely something from EALA headquarters. A recent video that was removed from YouTube later also spotted some artwork from this game. The video had jumpjets and some units that were unknown to the fans and the author confirmed it was a C&C related work.
So, expect a real announcement about it soon. Maybe the name will change or the Ricardo Vega's name will change, specially because Ricardo isn't an english name anyway... there are a lot of Ricardo here in Brazil, as well as in Portugal, but in english speaking countries, I believe they would be called Richard... anyway, a new C&C FPS will be in the show and it won't conflict with Reborn and A Path Beyond.
Take your conclusions, because none of this is official. Last edited by Banshee on Wed Dec 12, 2007 1:30 am; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT

I have seen this going around on other sites. Note to all none of this is confirmed and in all likely hood it seems to be real. I will not get my hopes up and will say that this will be just like Starcraft Ghost or other such games. If anyone gets a hold of a copy (assuming it is real) themselves and takes good pictures please do post them. In tell either better pictures or EA confirmation I will hold a bit of skepticism as all should.

Well I stand corrected and am not sorry about it. Alex06 those are some awesome and epic pictures there... If I saw right it said 2008, it seems 08 will be a big year for CnC... Well that is the only good thing that has happened to me today. Still in shock from those pictures...

Banshee, I think you're going to need to hire some more moderators to cope with how many of the TS hardcore are going to slag this off.
I think they've made this look far too much like BF2142 and sound like Halo. And why are the Titans completely different yet again?
I don't mind the KW ones, but those look absolutely shit apart from they appear to have realised the need for heavier legs.
Head from KW Titan on the legs of the TFPS one and it'll be alright.
Anyone heard what engine this is likely to be in?
Looks like an improved BF2 engine (which would make it the BF3 engine probably). Or proprietary of course. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Obviously those Titans are just betas, I'd wait a little down the road before judging quickly on this, however, its looking _Badass_ _________________ ... QUICK_EDIT

Hmm, I like what I see. But it reminds me other games, like republic commando, halo and battlefield 2142, all that in a tiberian atmosphere.
Also I like that Titan QUICK_EDIT
My God. Really, is it so hard to make up a decent name for a game? Don't give me ztyping excuses about "The game iz centered on Tiberiumz!" crap, the name is still a ztyping joke.
PS. The Titans are actually pretty cool (though I can sense a BF2142 inspiring the designers more than just a bit), and at last they have proper armor. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Ya this is my exact thought...
Kind of bummed TBH... I didn't like renegade, but maybe this could be cool... Though it would have been a better idea to go with a Red alert FPS over another tiberum game... _________________ MadHQ's Graveyard - Click here!

Here comes the Tiberian Sun Fans.
Code-names are generally stupid sounding until they actually put out a name for the game. _________________ ... QUICK_EDIT
Halo: A good and well-known shooter game.
Halo Wars: RTS, Halo trilogy prequel
Tiberium Wars: RTS game
Tiberium: Sequel to Tiberium Wars
It's as if they just got the title ideas from Bungie's Halo series.
Following this logic, there's going to be a "Tiberium 2" and "Tiberium 3"...
Oh, and I believe this is one of the games at EALA that got help from Steven Spielberg. THEY BETTER not ruin this one, especially since they have HIM on their side. QUICK_EDIT

No. Spielberg helped with the MOH games. Not on C&C. That bollocks was dismissed ages ago alex. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT
Red alert would be a better idea.
methinks ea is obsessed over the tiberium universe..
Of course many of you probably know that by now.
i also think ea dumped red alert for good, considering that renegade 2 was dumped, and instead of making a new red alert game after tiberium wars, they came up with another tiberium game.. QUICK_EDIT

Who gives a shit about a name. If you call the sky the ground, and the ground the sky, its still the same thing, now isn't it?
Also, I won't miss Red Alert. I don't like the series much because of its awful Russian stereotypes, and generally bad storyline. (Evil Russia invades free Europe...) UNLESS EA retconned the storylineand fixed Westwood's fuckups, and didn't make the Ruskies into vodka drinking neandertals.
EA, Some ideas:
Don't make Renegade's mistakes and overly change the looks of the units unless there is a major reason. No more G-6 Rhinos inplace of M110 Paladins(albeit the idea is better then Westwood's originals, it just screws canon up a bit.)
Co-op for the love of God. Renegade co-op servers are fun as hell. I'd love to stomp through Tib Wars with my best mates on the ground alongside me.
Little to no gawky HUD interface.
An interactive enviornment would be sweet. Shooting up tiberium plants, blowing down civvie buildings. This is C&C in 2008. Why can't we tear down the whole damn apartment to get to the Nod soldiers hiding on the other side? _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT

Well the game sounds like it will be good if they do it like Crysis + Rengade with tons of MP stuff and a good in-deapth storyline, but also have some crony stuff too, that is what CnC is all about the corniness. Anyways I feel that the game will evolve to a cool and fun game to play, I wish EA luck on this.

Well,I hope it's gonna have 1337 online like renegade...no actually,way better.I want it to be like GRAW 2 and renegade online smashed into 1...but that would neer happen Lol. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

ztype yea.
And while at it, Nuclear strikes that actually LOOK like a nuke going off? Like I dunno? Crysis Nuke style? _________________ ... QUICK_EDIT

Have you actually looked at the screens?
There's completely different Titan, Orca (?) and infantry designs. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
According to one of the guys at EA germany, its not "CnC Tiberium", just "Tiberium".
They want it to be an own, independent game and not just another part of the CnC Series, thus it wont contain the "CnC" name. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
how can you be an independant game when you're title IS everything that the story in the other games was about? If it has anything to do with series, and is made by the people who own the series, then it is part of the series. thus it needs the C&C title. Lest what shall we call it in short hand? "dude, lets play some T"
For multiplayer, lets compile a list of all the modes we want:
Co-op(missions)
-single player game
-maps designed for online play
Slayer(free for all)
Skirmish(team fights)
Battle(base vs base)
-standard renegade styled matches
-three way battles?
anyone else? _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
This game can be super-great Blockbuster game if EA makes it with the Graphics and physics of Crysis, the simplicity of Halo and Multiplayer of Renegade... if they pull a game off with like that plus some other cool stuff (such as Titans) it'll be Fantastic. I really hope that they don't remove the base vs base of Renegade. QUICK_EDIT

IMO Graphics ain't everything.
As long as theres little or no bugs in the tiberium F.P.S. game, It should be a win for many of us.
if i remember correctly renegade game had so many bugs in it.
You guys must remember that surely?.
Lets not let that repeat again. _________________ Link to a document to see what mods i have and/or working on or working with

So its like band of brothers:EIB then where team is the most important thing in the game.
oh brother...
No offense and all that, But the AI in most games sucks as a players team mate. _________________ Link to a document to see what mods i have and/or working on or working with

Honestly this game looks like a cheap ripoff of halo. I read th article a bit and you cant even pick up weapons. You just get 1 gun that has 4 modes..how gay is that?... _________________ 0h noez!11!!! one 11!! U just p00rd n00bs@uc3 a11 0v3r my l33t sk1llz!!!!!!11one!!111!!!one111!!!!!!!

It works really fine in republic commando, though you can pick up 1 enemy weapon, they're quite useless.
About the AI I would like it to behave like in republic commando (you give the orders the team members have little choice), even if it is quite stupid (just stand and fight, and at most take some cover), at least if it follows strictly your orders (like manning a gun, heal you/another member of the team, take cover, or attack a target with the most effective weapon). I'll be happy with it. QUICK_EDIT
These are totally not the same thing! One is humans with cool looking body armour in the future fighting aliens and the other is one is humans with cool looking body armour in the future fighting aliens!
That aside, if "tiberium" inherits the base wars of renegade and all the vehicles of C&C3, it will be a very fun and very unique game (from Halo that is).
I'm also sure that there will be more weapons open to the player other than his one gun that can "morph" sounds similair to crysis). Each fps tries to bring something original o the table, and this is their attempt. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
from what i have read the "nano" suit can morph into several different forms such as strength speed armour etc. Which is similair in a way to a gun that can morph into several different modes. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
