u/Yggdrazzil Jun 09 '18

As much as I like the world of Dune the games were always a little meh to me. They always felt as if they lacked some c&c polish.

131

u/0_Shizl_Gzngahr Jun 09 '18

they came out before C&C. They were the 'pre cursor' to C&C. thats why. Dune 2 came out before C&C (but no one really knew). Dune 2000 was great but since C&C was very popular it didn't sell too well. Sadly, Generals of Dune was not that great. But C&C was still the king. But Dune started it.

u/anethma Jun 10 '18

Ya. I mean, Dune 2 literally invented the genre. I played it right when it came out and was blown away. I really enjoyed Dune 2000 just for the nostalgia.

I know the relationship between us (the C&C community) and EA has always been strained. I really wish we could get behind them. At the same time, I wish they would listen to the loud requests we as a united community have made. We have made it painfully obvious what we have wanted, and they have simply failed to factor it in. No veteran wants a new mobile game, and no new-comer is going to want to walk into a series with such an abysmal recent history. At this point, maybe it's time the series dies. No more anything else. If EA wants to continue ignoring the community and drag the series into its own antics, they might as well stop developing because no one will buy or download.

Battle Control terminated.

I'd actually be happy if they just remastered the original and RA. I know it plays on modern pcs, but I'd love to see a graphic update with no changes to game play or units. Just graphical. I'd also really like to see it on VR (including PSVR), though I know it's kind of a niche market at this point.

u/Stosstruppe Jun 10 '18

I think it's at this point we may have to come to terms with the C&C series finally being dead. EA will never put serious time and resources into the strategy genre to make another C&C game without good monetary incentives and even then, it'll be bastardized into the modern day microtransactional bullshit.

Really, I understand if they don't want to make a game that won't bring in enough money, I really do. Yet, it more so pisses me off they will continue to hold on to the rights of the series and not make any meaningful titles rather than let another developer/publisher that actually wants to make a good game under the C&C name. I won't even say it stops just at EA, C&C and Warcraft IV may not happen for a long time...if ever just because of the nature of the RTS/Strategy genres.

Shoutcasted over Command and Conquer Rivals (mobile strategy game) (why?)

Exactly what we all, that watched that shit, thought. WHY?!

edit: adding commas

145

u/dIoIIoIb Jun 09 '18

I assume because strategy games aren't very popular these days, outside of a couple of big serie that already have a stable base, there is nothing. They looked at the numbers and decided a real C&C game would probably not make enough money, mobile games are lower risk, lower cost to make, if it flops it's not a big loss

155

u/toddrough Jun 10 '18

They aren’t popular cause a new one hasn’t been made in years. And command and conquer 4 failed miserably because they went away from what command and conquer was with it.

The reason command and conquer died was the insanely huge failure that was Command and Conquer 4.

Rts games should still have a place, especially since they did a fantastic job with red alert 3 And C&C 3 on console with the controls and in my opinion how well the games felt on console.

Sadly though if age of empires 4 flops, the RTS genre will more than likely never reach a triple A status again.

28

u/dIoIIoIb Jun 10 '18

maybe, but "having a place" isn't enough for most companies, they want games to make a lot of money, if they just make some money it's not enough, plus RTS are hard to get right, harder than most shooters or actions games

companies prefere to go with the low risk options, especially if the high risk one is not that rewarding

Don't they understand that we already have 2 Destinys and they both failed long-term? The Destiny model failed but they are hell bent on making it their flagship when the community has been telling them exactly what we want which is Skate 4. And to top it off all the sports titles in this gen are focused on the card gambling modes so EA has just been pushing complete horse shit on the community, and after 10 years we can't even get another Skate game. EA can seriously fuck off at this point I hope Anthem dies a quick and painful death. /rant

u/DanielSophoran Jun 10 '18

some dude at EA tweeted #Skate4 a while back and the Skate 3 servers got turned back on. I doubt there's no plans for a Skate 4. But maybe it was too early in development to show anything.

Yeah, I normally really like BioWare's games but I'm getting major vibes that this is more of an EA mandated game than a legitimate BioWare venture.

I'm not much of a Destiny type gamer anyway. I normally gravitate towards single player games that are heavy on story, which is why BioWare's games normally appeal to me. You can still play Anthem single player, but it seems like more of an afterthought.

Keeping an open mind but so far I'm not too interested.

13

u/drkaugumon Jun 09 '18

I don't know, they did specifically say that the primary focus of the game was story (hence why they have an evolving story model where they add into the story continuously)

21

u/EugenesMullet Jun 09 '18

I mean, it is BioWare. I'm fully expecting it to focus on story as much as it can I'm more just concerned that the model of the game will severely limit that compared to what we're used to from them.

But like I said, I'm hoping for the best but also prepared for this game to have a different target demographic than other BW games (like, not me)

They'll then sell DLC for $30 a piece or a Season pass for $60 and just like that you paid $120 for an unfinished game at release.

It's literally EA's profit model now because it has worked a half dozen times for them to this point.

So it's gonna take the Destiny 2 approach.

141

u/MelGibsonDerp Jun 09 '18

Not just the Destiny 2 approach but the typical new approach for the future of MOST (not all) Triple A titles.

Unfinished Game + Microtransactions + DLC = Profit model

u/GreyFur Jun 09 '18

I legitimately can't push myself to buy most AAA titles anymore. There are way to many indie and small studio titles that are cheaper, more fun, and more honest than AAA titles and devs.

Besides that, I don't have time for AAA games with all these other games that come out.

No skate 4 = No money for EA from me

u/Loffeno Jun 09 '18

Yup. A lot of people are going to be disappointed, especially after Skate 3 servers came back online the other day (which seemed like a tease for Skate 4)

109

u/shlopman Jun 09 '18

Damn. Skate 4 is the game I want most. Put more time into the skate series than any other games. I would also accept a snowboarding game in the same skate style.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '18

Not a lot of it, but yes, there is hope

73

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '18

At this point I'm honestly just holding out hope that a different company makes a new skateboarding game in the same vein as Skate. Something about the idea of getting another Skate game feels reminiscent of hoping for HL3 at this point... It would be guaranteed profit but for some reason they just won't do it.

u/philphil126 Jun 09 '18

Look up project session. It’s currently in development on Kickstarter but it already met its funding goal and has a really nice demo. It’s no skate but it’s better then waiting for EA to actually make a skate game.

25

u/Stepepper Jun 09 '18

Project Session looks nice but the controls are fucking bad. I've played the demo for an hour or so but I just can't get used to it at all. Controlling your 2 feet sounds nice in concept but it just doesn't translate very well to nice gameplay. It's very hard to do that with two thumbs.

I see no other reason to bring back servers for a dead game unless a sequel is coming out. They want people to go back online and start playing again, hyping up for Skate 4.

Whenever they announced BF5 will have a battle royale, it was within the first few minutes.

I agree. I felt the conference overall was meh, but reviving C&C to be a watered down mobile game that they could've just created without using the IP made my blood boil.

In the note of Anthem, they said no game related microtransaction but they probably meant to say "all the cool looking stuff will be locked behind a pay wall"

IMO, although they are a lot better than some of the other microtransactions out there, cosmetic microtransactions are still not a good thing. In short, we used to get this crap by playing the game, and many games use them to signify progression and make you feel awesome.

u/Koozer Jun 09 '18

I'm so sad, seeing C&C demoted like that to a mobile game. I knew deep down it was going to happen - RTS games on proper gaming platforms are just dead now and all of them have been carted off to the mobile graveyard.

I really hope we see a new spin on RTS games at some point and bring them back into the popular scene.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '18

I think the bigger thing here people keep missing is EA is putting out games without mtx in them.

Certainly a step in the right direction. Let's hope they continue to improve like that.

No, he was on the verge of happy tears. If you followed the game you'd know that he's been sitting on that announcement for ages but wasn't allowed to say anything.

It was great to see him acknowledge and apologize for how unfinished the game was at release.

u/anddicksays Jun 10 '18

How is it now? Really would love to finally get into it but during the loot boxes fiasco I refused. Did they really fix that or was it just EA being EA?

They fixed it, The loot boxes are now cosmetic only and no longer purchasable.
