lazygecko Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 http://www.gametrailers.com/player/29781.html The game was uncovered about a month ago. Game Informer's january issue has an article with lots of info about it. Tiberium is a squad-based tactical shooter based on the Command & Conquer universe but not part of the actual franchise (however that works). Basicly, tiberium is the most valuable substance in the world which contains many hard-to-get minerals, the tradeoff being that it's highly toxic and fucks up the ecosystem. Now, I've always found the C&C story to be compelling and fascinating, but apart from the nice post-apoc environment I think this game presents it in a very uninspired manner.

zircon Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Didn't they do that story already...? Hasn't tiberium always been valuable, coveted, and toxic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlastikBag Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Huh? That whole middle part looked like the beginning of Crysis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but they want to flesh things out and get non-RTS players interested in the plot. Which would naturally be through an FPS. It's set a decade or so after C&C3.

jayc4life Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 http://www.gametrailers.com/player/29781.htmlTiberium is a squad-based tactical shooter based on the Command & Conquer universe but not part of the actual franchise (however that works). So it's going to be a C&C based, non-canonical storyline that's actually going to be a prequel to something like Tiberium Wars? I'haven't played C&C for a while now, I still only have the very first iteration, but I keep track of the "canonical" storyline through Wiki and stuff like that. Kane's story is the bit that gets me though, and when the Kane's Wrath expansion comes out for Tiberium Wars, I'll be getting it, without a doubt. But I doubt if I'll invest in an FPS that only serves as a mere "what if?" part of a storyline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
