Throwback Thursday for 26th November

Recommended Posts

This weeks instalment of Throwback Thursday goes back to September 2008 and looks back at the cancellation of Tiberium, the C&C FPS game we never got. It never had Command & Conquer in the title, but it was GDI versus the Scrin. There was never any mention of Nod being involved, but we always expected them to make an appearance. What we did get to see of this game looked great though. I remember during my trip to EALA for the Red Alert 3 Community Summit in June 2008, we got to witness the Tiberium development team go behind closed doors for a meeting with some EA executives. An hour or so later they emerged from this meeting looking a bit deflated. Perhaps the fate of the game was sealed on that day in June. On the 30th of September 2008, we got the news that Tiberium was not on track to meet the high quality standards set by the development team and was abruptly cancelled.

Remember, you can click on the preview above to see a larger and more detailed image. Check back again next Thursday for another Throwback. Send in your ideas for future instalments. We encourage you to share this on social media using the hash tags #ThrowbackThursday, #CnCTBT and #CNCNZTBT.

Actually, there was a Nod high priestess, Maya, who appeared in concept art and several leaked cutscenes.

That's one hell of a delay for the cancellation announcement. It maybe wasn't firmly stated then yet, maybe they were either forced to postpone it indefinitely StarCraft Ghost-style or they had to make a compromise they didn't like.

I actually recall that c&c wiki showed a few Nod's concept arts that said to be for Tiberium, but then again it wiki we talking about, I assume that public users could have make/edit it?
