Is BioWare's Mystery Game A New Command & Conquer?
See Full ImageRemember this screenshot? It's one of the few hints we have concerning BioWare's mysterious new project.
Well, maybe we have another hint: according to Superannuation, a LinkedIn resume (which has been edited now) indicated that studio Victory Games was part of the BioWare family.
Victory Games is the new "strategy studio" EA revealed earlier this year; it's like Danger Close and Visceral Games (i.e., rebrandings of current teams) and Victory was supposed to handle the dormant Command & Conquer franchise. As for the mystery game in question, the only teaser we saw promised a "new direction" from BioWare, which may indicate a fresh take on the legendary C&C strategy series. The good news is that we won't have long to wait, as BioWare will unveil this game at the Spike TV Video Game Awards on December 10.
Personally, I've never been a fan of RTS so I wouldn't mind a "new direction" for Command & Conquer. On the other hand, I imagine the long-time fans will be a little upset if this is true...

Personally I think RUSE so far is the best rts on the ps3 from an interface point of view. They really worked their ass off to make it work on a console. The genre is just simply unsuited for gamepads.

C&C is an RTS, it is a representative of that genre, when most people think of RTS from the last 15 years its hard NOT to think about C&C. They should NEVER change the core gameplay.
All the good RTS companies tried to change things about now I don't think RTS games are as good anymore.
C&C3 and SC2 are perfect examples of what an RTS should be.

Dawn of War; Company of Heroes; Supreme Commander; Starcraft; World in Conflict; Sins of a Solar Empire; Star Wars Empire at War; among others, are all some of the best RTS games ever created and all within the last five years. And, in my opinion, show just how much progress has been made in the RTS genre compared to the old days. Though a classic game of C&C Red Alert, and Warcraft 2 can still rival some of those titles. Though in terms of popularity, no RTS can compete with League of Legends with over 32 million players, that's 20 million more than WoW. Though technically it's not a true RTS by definition.
