Totilo's story yesterday on what might be a Command & Conquer action game got me thinking about Tiberium, the promising yet ultimately ill-fated shooter EA once had planned for the strategy universe. More »

In answer to McWhertor's question from yesterday afternoon, yes. EA has just announced Command & Conquer 4, the dramatic conclusion to the Tiberium saga. More »

Tiberium has been cancelled. Can't say we're devastated, since there's more than enough gritty sci-fi shooters on the market as it is, but whatever. Somebody, somewhere, will be upset. Looks like the write-off's not a total loss, however; in the comments section of Gamasutra's piece on the closure, some "insiders" have cut loose, ripping on EA, the development team's management, and...well, everything, really. It's all a bit of a mess, and there are conflicting stories, and there's no way to actually verify any of it (though from the detail and the venom it certainly feels legit), but hey, it's still a fun read. Who doesn't love a good soap opera? More »

Click to viewFollowing word in July that EA's Command & Conquer-based squad shooter, Tiberium was getting shifted back to 2010, comes word that the game has been officially killed and some staff let go, the publisher confirmed with Kotaku today. Kotaku obtained a copy of the internal memo sent to staff earlier today outlining the reasons why the game was axed. In the memo Mike Verdu, of EA LA, says that the game would not be able to get up to snuff given the amount of time and resources left in the production cycle. The memo goes on to state that several people on the team had to be released. More »

EA's Command & Conquer-based squad shooter, Tiberium, was looking alright when first unveiled earlier in the year. And yet, it wasn't at E3. Why? Probably because there was nothing to show, with EA quietly announcing during their earnings conference call today that the game's not due until the 2010 financial year. Which is anywhere from April 2009 to March 2010. Technically this is a "delay", since the game was originally slated to appear later this year, but, yeah. It was never really going to make it in 2008. More »

First person shooters may be a dime a dozen, but Tiberium, the subject of recent Game Informer and GT TV exclusives has something we're nerding out over—a transforming gun. It doesn't magically transition into a twenty foot-tall robot a la Decepticon leader Megatron, but it does make for some geeky chills amongst an otherwise "me too" shooter set in the Command & Conquer universe. Maybe we're just jaded, as the air drops and squad tactics actually sound super neat-o, and it may just be the rather dreary look and feel that's a bit of a turn off. More »
