C&CX - More C&C FPS Rumors

[Sonic 302]

Back in March we posted a news story about the very impressive Crysis engine (CryEngine2) being moving in-house to EALA in the near future. This news sparked rumours about the possibility of a new C&C FPS. And now fast forward to day where a very specific job posting was found on the EA Jobs site by Smurfbizkit, mentioning a code name simply called C&CX.

 

Does the idea of contributing your specialized knowledge in sound design to the next generation gaming platform for EAs widely recognized leading Sci Fi franchise get you pumped? EA has an exciting opportunity for a Sound Designer who will work closely with the Audio Director on creating sound effects, dialog and music for a next-generation first person shooter game. You will be instrumental in designing audio elements for a high profile new intellectual property.

 

(...)

 

Responsible for designing and implementing sound effects for C&CX including sound effects design and editing, music integration, field recording, technology development and documentation.

Everything points to a new C&C based FPS game in the future, but I'll leave it at that and leave the specualtion to you.

Will this turn out to be like Renegade BUT set in Tiberian Sun? :D

A well-made Renegade styled game would be awsome.

renegade had a pretty good multyplayer mode... If it really is a cnc themed FPS, I hope they develop that rather than give us a standard death match or battlefield rip offs

I would more than likely say that EA will leave the modders to get on with their projects. So I can't see a Red Alert, Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2 game coming out.

 

In the typically uninspired world of this industry the highest bets will be on this First Person shooter being based on C&C 3. It would technically help patch up the poor storyline of the game, and would work around Kane's wrath as well.

 

The most ideal scenario would be to take the game to somewhere completely new altogether. So it could be possible to take the game 10 years after the Red Alert 2 era which could work towards Red Alert 3. Or use it as a full blown sequal to C&C 3 by basing the game entirely around the next chapter which would be able to set up an RTS version of C&C 5.

 

The possibilities are endless. But all I have to say to EA is for goodness sake employ a decent story-writer and music composer for this project!

well they're already looking for a good music guy

and I think it would be awesome to see another C&C FPS in addition to Renegade, APB, and Reborn (IF IT EVER COMES OUT) oh yeah and AR despite the fact that most of them are mods they all have a large community support and many hardcore fans dedicated to supporting that one game (hang around the APB forums and you'll realize this quickly)

Incursion Please

 

I would so love for that to do that too...

The main storyline is good, they only need to flesh it out- Exactly what they plan with KW. Hopefully, it will be good.

Id like to see non-cheese FMVs for a change, btw.

Bring on Renegade 2!

[Doctor Destiny 42]

Bring on Renegade 2!

LOL NO! Ren2 died already.

Anything FPS and C&C after Renegade is Renegade 2 in my books.

I would really like a FPS to fill in the cannon gaps. That would be very nice, an unexpectant. Sooooo much better than C&C3:TW from the FPS perspective.

So did C&C3 but EA still changed their mind on that, so why won't they now?

Fair enough, heheh..

[Gben 20]

I was thinking that it would be nice if EA could take that one step further and truely integrate that RTS/FPS hybrid in a professional way that we've had glimpse of in other games...
