Command And Conquer Tiberium Emerges

[Dark Drakan]

EA have recently released some shots of its new Command And Conquer first person shooter known as Command & Conquer Tiberium. Has only ever been one FPS based around the Command And Conquer franchise and it was the extremely mediocre Command And Conquer Renegade. This game is starting to look very interesting though i must say and i hope it can redeem things after Renegade.

The tower was thought to be a relic of the Third Tiberium War; a devastating war fought for control over Tiberium crystal. It is not a relic. It is not dormant. Deep within the tower, plans are in motion for an alien invasion. This is where the Tiberium adventure begins.

The game aims to blend first-person shooting and tactical squad combat into one, where you control multiple infantry, armour, and air squads. The squads are your most decisive weapon, not the rocket launcher.

Tiberium will be available worldwide in autumn 2008 for PS3, 360 and PC.

Ooooh! I'd heard about a new Command and Conquer first person game being in development but I wasn't aware that EA was so far along. I'm a big fan of the Command and Conquer games (especially Tiberian Sun and its expansion pack, Firestorm, and Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge even more so). I'll be keeping my eyes on this one. Great find, mate.
