The one saving grace of EA’s mutilation of the C&C franchise is that Sole Survivor isn’t the series’ worst game. Tiberium Twilight also messed up the Tiberium saga’s anticipated conclusion. It tried too hard to improve the Command & Conquer concept, yet it failed terribly since it introduced an alien system. It was published in 2010, at a time when the video game industry was transitioning away from real-time strategy games and onto the first-person shooter (FPS) genre.Īs a result, Tiberian Twilight was met with mixed reviews.

Tiberian Twilight, the fourth game in the series, is the weakest Command & Conquer release. These titles best exemplify the brand and its beginnings, and they’re the zenith of simple wargaming on the PC. The Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is largely enjoyable and should elicit nostalgia for the classic Command & Conquer games. Now that the former has been tarnished by a botched remaster, it’s up to Command & Conquer to show the world how it’s done with their latest and competent remasters. In the meantime, you can watch the just-released gameplay trailer from Gamescom 2012 below.Back in the glory days of real-time strategy (RTS) games, two titles stood out from two major rival studios: Warcraft/Starcraft and the Command & Conquer series. "For nearly two decades, this franchise has existed as something you buy now we are creating a destination where our fans will be able to access the entire Command and Conquer universe, starting with Generals and continuing with Red Alert, Tiberium and beyond," said Jon Van Caneghem, vice president and general manager at EA.Ĭommand and Conquer is accepting beta applications at the game's website in advance of its 2013 release. While it will remain a strategy game powered by DICE's Frostbite 2 engine, General 2's single-player missions may have been lost in the free-to-play transition in favor of multiplayer, according to a report from IGN.


The existing portion of Generals 2, which is under development at BioWare Victory, will continue on as part of a "new digital experience" for the long-running franchise. Command and Conquer Generals 2, the PC-exclusive real-time strategy game announced at the 2011 Spike Video Game Awards, is being transformed into a free-to-play digital platform, Electronic Arts revealed today at Gamescom.
