  1. Wow, you continue to shout out more, Johnny. I hope you must have read my post I written regarding about their stingy behavior and stingily prepared budgets, not to mention they can't even replicate the good old Westwood style. Regarding your last paragraph, since I know the execs refuse to give C&C away to some other powerful unmerged companies like Blizzard, I bet they continue to keep it for the sake of, as usual, MONAAY! "Money is our blood, if we take C&C away, we'll be dead and be bankrupt by next week! So, NO, we keep it! Business is business, you ******* moronic fans" --- Random EALA exec
  2. Wow, Johnny, you really speak my language. Damn straight! Or maybe I just don't have the sufficient knowledge & proof in order to say it out loud like you did. Anyway, I'm agreeing with you a lot more here. And it's true, they claim themselves to be "Game Giants", but they are just giants with low money in their savings. So far, I wish they would look at how the other unmerged companies like Valve & Blizzard do, but I got the feeling they continue to ignore those examples and do things their way. And Mirza, don't forget, C&C is also well known for creating tons of CGI back in the Westwood days, today, we do not have them anymore other than outsourced CGI movies, which they are freakin' more expensive than if they were made in-house, but in this case, they do not have a CGI room of their own. Stingy stingy stingy!
  3. Better will only be true IF the greedy ******* executives are not in the way.
  4. It'll be like Kane's Wrath, Purple. Although I'm not sure if Visceral's studio is really outside of EALA, if it does, we can beg our hopes up on this one as long as the execs are not in the way. EALA's C&C games that are made in-house usually intend to **** it up really hard just like how C&C4 was made. So hopefully an outsource will be the ideal way to go. BreakAway Games did for Kane's Wrath I'm not sure how the company did, good or bad? But let's hope Visceral will be something better.
  5. Nice read, I sure hope they don't think about lying again just like how Greg Black's promises were all broken before. I still have my doubts on JVC, after all, no matter how super their developing brains can be to help out C&C, as long as the execs are making the decision on when the game needs to released and how it's going to look like, then quality can fall. Metaphor wise, no matter if you have a big badass 12 Megapixel digital camera and snap shot a beautiful scenery, you think your photo is going to the best quality, right? Yes it'll be, but if you're using very small and poor quality lenses, then your picture will look like pixelated crap for sure!
  6. Whow hey, assumptions and predictions sometimes can be true, but it's also false. I don't have anymore faith in what EALA is trying to do, they already broke my heart so there will be others keeping an eye on them. Whether if their game is going to be good & promised like it should be? I doubt it!
  7. I knew that's not gonna happen, after all, either they're chickens to give an apology (Which I don't care whether they have the time or not) or just keeping themselves away from us, they know we're aftering their blood! Wow, if Joe said something like that, will our bets telling that it's another one of EALA's cash cow & conning schemes again. We cannot be sure what they are doing and we don't want to jump to conclusion, but I'm telling you all, be smart of what you have seen, you already seen the execs' secret true colors & how they treat the franchise, so do your research on what the next C&C is going to be, is that going to be pure quality like SC2 or is it just another conning scheme in order to keep the freakin' business alive? Be smart first, before you think about buying their products again.
  8. I sure hope so this time, Sonic. But I cannot be sure if they will survive as long as the execs are around, whether they'll be pestering JVC or being buddy buddy to him. They are the big bosses and can do anything to them! If only we can hear an interview regarding about them saying the following : 1. We apologize for making C&C4 a huge disaster 2. We won't rush it this time, SC2 already gave the whole EA company a big headache and we need to catch up etc.. But I doubt an interview with the execs is gonna happen. I just want to them to hear us before they think about torturing Visceral. And I hope they read Greg Black's interview when he compromised EALA's secret corporate deceit, will they say, "It won't happen again, we will not do that to Visceral. C&C is too great for us!"
  9. Good question, gben. But since I know EALA's execs want to rush games even if they allow JVC to extend the development time, I bet suddenly the execs will tell him to finish the game sooner. A so called "promised" duration of "as long as you need" or 3-5 years can suddenly change to 1 year or less. So my money's on "Heart of the Swarm" will arrive after the next C&C. I cannot promise whether if I'll be correct or not, but like Greg Black had said before, EA broke many promises to them.
  10. Ahh, now JVC is in there alright, well, let's hope he's still having a good time there without the execs giving the same torture treatment just like they did with Greg Black and his team. To be honest, I hope this time is a take your good sweet time to make a pure quality C&C game just like Blizzard did with SC2. No more rushes, many of us prefer quality over rushed games in an instant, we already have enough problems for our whole lives coming from EALA itself.

    The Forgotten v1.0 Available Now

    Perhaps we should always start at Easy difficulty, if you jump the shark, surely you might force to keep on turtling.

    The Forgotten v1.0 Available Now

    Yeap, it is very big as well, I'm sure it's also up to quality. Even the support powers and stuff when I read the PDF file is outstanding, that also help answering some of the old missing C&C questions such as the Blossom Trees & Veinhole Monster. I'm sure me & the other WW fans will personally thank blbpaws for reviving these old classics.

    The Forgotten Superweapon: Veinhole Monster

    Whether if it's a yes or no, Nash, but at least you all did a much better job than EALA anyways.

    Return of Classic Tiberium in The Forgotten

    Perhaps so, guys, after all, EALA already done quite a huge damage ever since C&C3 came out, by the removal of the veinhole monster & the blossom trees, it created questions which we took it lightly last time, but after C&C4 came out, it just went down even worse. Luckily this mod hopefully it'll calm us down.

    The Untitled Mod September Updates

    Wow, a very good effort of this mod, especially the nice display of the Laser Crusaders. Oh yeah, I like the story behind it as well. If this mod is to be made over for C&C3 or RA3, I'm in. For Generals? No thank you, I rather play with classic C&C systems (Sidebar, ConYard, proper harvesting, etc..) instead. EDIT : Oh wait, just double checked, for Generals? No thanks instead, but I'm willing to only watch the mod instead.

    Return of Classic Tiberium in The Forgotten

    Hell yeah! What a creative way to combine the best of both Westwood & EALA worlds. Nice job!

    The Forgotten Superweapon: Veinhole Monster

    Speaking of that, on a related news, they also release the Blossom Tree Support Power, yeepee! They didn't forget that one! Good old Westwood memories.

    Sam Bass Interview at CNCSaga.de

    Since you point out Sam Bass didn't make the bad ending, then what else? I think we can't blame him too much though, I'm pretty sure deep in his heart, he also feels the pressure from the greedy & evil EALA execs, Greg Black already felt it, but will the remaining ones like Sam Bass & Jim Vasella will feel the pressure? If only I wish they leave EALA sooner.

    The Forgotten Mod - Know Your Army

    After all that development, the wait will finally pay off. No time to play though, but I can't wait to hear what the players have to say, especially regarding the storyline.
  20. Sonic, I remember you have a record of your acts, both good & bad. Same case for some others, don't forget, there are people still do not like hardcore EA fanboys, which the reason why the hatred is simple, it's because those EA fanboys defend EA fanatically despite some very bad hiccups coming out from the C&C games, range from Generals till C&C4. I'm pretty you must have felt betrayed as well since I read your feedback regarding C&C4, some people thought they love the game, but I got the feeling it ain't gonna be. Sure, they can love the game, but the value of it will drop very very fast compare to other games like C&C3 & RA3, which their values only drops slowly. Starcraft 2's value, I don't know, will never drop? And by the way, I felt very sad too when I saw you do not like what the Tiberian Eclipse mod is trying to do, it is the many betrayed C&C fans' last hope and you blocked the light instead. Coolness7 is giving us this last hope and yet you talk bad about that mod. You should be praising to that mod and they're giving us the cure to our C&C4 poison. Although this one now is months ago, I hope you forgive Coolness7, at least he did change the objectives to make it less insulting to EA. Although now the mod is too quiet because of Starcraft 2 addiction, they'll do whatever they can to get some progress to make mod to be our last hope of how to end C&C in the most proper of ways. EDIT : Speaking of "but when its already been said and done hundreds of times already it starts to become annoying." The ONLY way to end this annoyance is this and I'm pretty sure that will put everyone to full silence, lay C&C in its coffin & we'll give the franchise an honorable RIP! Keep on telling to EALA and do whatever it takes, if they still say no, the annoyance will never stop. Bring a physical protest in front of their office (with police permission), keep fighting forward and then you'll succeed. Look at the Left 4 Dead 2 boycott, people can say it's a failure, but to be honest, that boycott is a success to me (There are boycotters who are not afraid to risk their Steam forum account in order to get Valve's attention). Without it, L4D2 could have been much worse like C&C4. But what about C&C itself, do we have a physical protest or boycott, no we don't, even if we did, we're still defeated and C&C is still not laid in its grave yet and I hate to say this, we're weak to protest strong enough, so do it harder & keep on die trying! So think about it, lay it RIP, or continue to hear the endless whining until we die. -- Well, gben, the extensive beta test was ok, but I got the feeling the hatred to the change of C&C4 wasn't very much since EALA doesn't want to compromise their "beloved" game, and once it comes out, the conning happens and some people fell for it because they didn't read the C&C4 development carefully & took it very seriously. I did my homework, so I saved some pocket money. EALA also knew they should never ever release an SDK, if they do, fans will surely mod the game to remove the pop cap, crawlers, Tiberium from the skies, bring back the classic Tiberium harvesting, etc.. Anyway, the worse part which only insults even more is the mobile version of C&C4, like I said, EALA or not, the main EA company is still trying to extract cash out from the cow. *face palm*
  21. I wish I could say why about Sonic, but we can't right here, he's the Root Admin, if we cross him, we're screwed. I think a PM will do, we can chat there privately.

    Command & Conquer 4 goes mobile

    And I'm pretty sure they'll do whatever it takes to earn money, but luckily we already fell for their cons and no longer be too stupid to fall for that again. Lucky for me, I didn't buy C&C4, genuine or not, I ain't giving my pocket money away to some numbskulls who absorb cash like sponge everyday. It is sad that Goodman must do his job to advertise C&C4 as epic, but in reality it was a total failure and I'm sure he has to bear with the numerous negative comments. Otherwise, he will get fired anyways.
  23. C12, we're not blaming the dev teams (Which we didn't realize it until then), most of them are under the main tyrannical control is by the EALA executives. Here's Greg Black's interview if you haven't read it, we thought it was the dev team's fault for all the stupid things they made, but it's time that wasn't on their side, and who did that, it's the money-loving executives. But luckily Greg Black already left EALA, and he has the freedom to spill the beans & show us the reality if we were in a company which is nothing but being a Scrooge. http://www.cncsaga.de/foren/viewtopic.php?id=522 If the executives weren't in their way, our C&C games could have been very high quality like Starcraft 2, gameplay will be completely stable in terms of balancing, pathfinding, etc.., then we get to watch CGIs, etc.. too. You name it!
  24. Well, we can say it's not 100% a total failure, but we can say it's 50%. But think about it in the future as well as the future of C&C. The game is a total failure, we hate it! The product is a success because EALA conned our pocket money out from people who have no idea behind C&C4's poor development and so forth. But take notice on the future, when more customers are conned over the poor product, they become smarter and will not look into C&C ever again unless it returns to its former glory or receive an honorable RIP. I did my homework, so I didn't buy one, no matter if it's a genuine copy or not. But there's more, if EA continues to produce more bad games from other franchises, existing fans will surely will not buy their bad products again either, rotten apples don't fall far from the tree. Sure, EA may had stolen our money and continue to produce bad games, but one day, their sales will fall. Think EA as General Motors, their money keeps falling overtime. But EA is much worse, they'll do whatever it takes to keep on conning and clings onto it, and thus you see how stingy they are. Their games may have great trailers, but they (Not all of them) are total blunders, not just C&C, I heard Battlefield & Need for Speed as well. You will find out there are "C&C4 VS Starcraft 2" (including Hitler rants), Starcraft 2 won in terms of how they market as well as how much content they create, SC2 has CGIs, beautiful 3D models, etc.. Does C&C4 or a future C&C game have those? Highly unlikely. If I were a business investor, I rather ditch EA and invest onto Blizzard already. So as usual, conning scheme, cash cow or whatever! Epic fail!
  25. The natives of C&C are restless, man. WW fanboys are the most common, but there are others who were betrayed, that's why they're expecting (not hopefully anymore, but possibly forcefully) EALA to fix & clean every messes they made. In this case from the looks of it, they're still making more messes (Although Sonic did say it's the Mobile Team who made it and it's not part of EALA) & make the franchise even worse by the minute. As usual, Starcraft 2 continues to heal our wounds, but it's going to take years until C&C gets a new & fresh (AND 100% WW-era genuine) game or the "Heart of the Swarm" expansion to release. But a new C&C game, I doubt about it since the whole EA company still continue to pump out cash instead of giving it a RIP.
