Tiberium Command & Conquer FPS game announced for PC, Xbox 360 & PS3

Tiberium Command and Conquer cover A Command & Conquer FPS game called “Tiberium” will be coming to PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, according to American games magazine Game Informer. The Tiberium game is the cover story of their January 2008 issue and the game is said to be set 11 years after the end of the third Tiberium war. You’ll play as Ricardo Vega, a formerly-retired GDI field commander. You can play in single player or 2-player online modes. EALA’s game is set for a late 2008 release.

The squad-based action first-person-shooter game is described as Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter meets Battlefield meets Rainbow Six Vegas, but instead set in the C&C Universe. 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 different version of the Titan, and new Orcas. You’ll still get special powers, like an “Orbital Slug” that you can call upon to strike down your enemies. Ricardo Vega himself is armed with the GD-10, a transformative, four-in-one weapon capable of dealing punishment under any circumstance. — Thanks to AJsarge for the writeup

Looks like a Command & Conquer: Renegade 2 will be reincarnated as Tiberium, let’s hope GDI, NOD and Scrin will all be playable. We’ll update this article as soon as there’s more info and pictures, sadly a leaked demo reel has already been taken offline by EA. Here’s a blurry first shot saying “the fight is far from over”:

Tiberium executive producer, Chris Plummer, says about the game “Tiberium is our force, it’s our one ring to rule them all, it’s our Matrix.”

Renegade was the best online game that has been released in a long time. Graphics were not the best but fun factor = 100%. This game has potential if they go with muti-play versus the 2 man coop mode. Who cares what world it is set in, as long as the gameplay is similar to Renegade.

How could anyone buy a C&C FPS game excluding the FPS C&C multiplayer mode when it has become so popular, and there are no other games that offer that type of play except for the out-dated Renegade? And after they canceled Renegade 2?

I guess when you love depression and disappointment so much another slap in the face feels good and refreshing.

there was a game called battlezone a while ago… im still hooked even after 5 years… it was a vehicle based game… but you had to build a base and an NPC army to win… that was an ace game, and i hope this game has the renegade style play, with the battlezone 2 interface ^,..,^
