Dead Space Dev Making New Command & Conquer



Visceral Games is working on a new action title set inside the Command & Conquer universe.

Visceral Games is perhaps best known for its sci-fi horror title Dead Space, but parent company EA might be looking to expand its repertoire beyond the works of Dante Alighieri [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/7186-Review-Dantes-Inferno]. According to studio general manager Nick Earl, Visceral is working on more than Dead Space 2 - it's dipping its feet into the Command & Conquer franchise, too.

Earl briefly mentioned the existence of a not-formally-announced action title set in the Command & Conquer universe during a chat with Gamasutra [http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/30961/Interview_Earl_Reveals_EAs_Expansion_Of_Visceral_Label.php], calling it "pretty far out." We're assuming he was referring to the game's release date, rather than giving an indication that the game would resemble a trip on LSD.

Further comments indicate that the game would be a third-person title a la Dead Space and Dante's Inferno, rather than a FPS like 2002's Command & Conquer: Renegade. Renegade is actually a guilty pleasure of mine, to be honest, and I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel - provided that the developers fixed the incredibly stupid AI that resulted in characters you were trying to escort running in front of your gun every ten seconds.

Please be a mentally insane Red Alert action game. Where you can play as the bears and attack dogs and Yuriko Omega and mecha tengus.

Okay, I've liked C&C for a while. So if they screw this up, I will... probably do nothing other than complain a lot. But I'd like to take some very physical action to some very sensitive body parts.

I wonder if its related to that one C&C FPS that got canned not too long ago.

Well aparently Tiberium (the game your refering to) has been demanded badly by the community, but that'd be intelligent and I doubt EA is that :p However part of it may be recycled.

Renegade was awesome, the fist Multiplay FPS I really enjoyed.

Wouldn't mind to see another game genre come from C&C, could be intersting

Erm didn't the article say it'd be a third person shooter? Or was that just an awkward way of saying it'd be another RTS?

Yeah, it did, like Deadspace. Which is okay, as DS's gameplay/fighting/shooting had some real heft to it unlike some others I can think of.

If they do attempt to make another C&C action game I hope they remember to give it an oppressive atmosphere this time. C&C Renegade was fun, but they might as well have put it in the Red Alert world.

C&C is supposed to feel like the world is being eaten while you fight endlessly and uselessly against insane tiberium-infested fanatics.

Both are great, but they need to stay off each other's turf. :)
