From Strategyinformer.com: "Return of the Dawn is a TS 2 C&C1 (Tiberian Dawn) total conversion, aiming to combine the fun gameplay of the original with the more advanced features and graphical capabilities of the Tiberian Sun engine. Version 2.8 is now available.http://static.strategyinformer.com/r/screenshots/00335392.jpg"
It's always unfortunate when great projects are put on hold or cancelled, and when digging through the batch of discarded ideas, one can find some real gaming gems in the cancelled games list. MyGaming look at the top 5 cancelled games that should've been made.
Eight Days' premise sounded interesting! But all the per-rendered videos did look a little generic.
Edge writes: "When Electronic Arts canceled the Command & Conquer-themed shooter Tiberium, some praised the company's hard line on quality.
But Mike Hickey with Janco Partners questions how an admitted low-quality game got so far into development.
"Continued lack of management execution and/or product quality damages new management's credibility and dampens our excitement for the Company's shares," Hickey said in a Tuesday research note."
Following word in July that EA's Command & Conquer-based squad shooter, Tuberium 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.
This was one of the games I was looking forward to this year. I'm a huge fan of C&C... This reminds of the time when they canned Starcraft Ghost (albeit 3rd person) it still looked damn good.
I want to see this games even if it is crappy! Can't be worse than some of the other cr*p being released.
The trailer in my opinion was trying to market to the Halo crowd, maybe it was the goal of EA to complete directly with Halo.
The game looked like it had potential, but didn't make the chopping block.
Lol I was thinking the same thing...
Not up to standards? What kind of standard is that? To just be slightly above dog turds in terms of quality? This game must have been a real turd to be below EA standards.
It's a pretty lucrative market and there is always need for an intergalactic conflict when it comes to mining for tubes.
