WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 New C&C game by the makers of Dead Space Good news, honestly. Visceral Games is a pretty good studio, although they're far from original. Anyone remember that canceled C&C shooter called Tiberium? It actually looked pretty good and I'm wondering if they might be finishing that instead of starting over. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Tale Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 I was looking forward to hearing more about Tiberium. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Calax Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Tiberium was killed back in 08 for "not meeting EA quality standards". Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Niten_Ryu Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Calax is right, PC gaming is dead or 5 feet inside the grave. We do get console ports (meaning no advanced graphical features of the modern PCs, game features or game mechanics are not designed from ground up for mouse + keyboard, UIs are mess, no or very little multicore support, limtations of the consoles 512mb memery ect ect) but very few exclusive PC titles like Starcraft 2. Indy scene is booming (profitable, but only tiny fraction of the all console game sales), but AAA quality games are dead. It's great if you can enjoy games like Minecraft that look like it's from 1995 but personally I've noticed that graphical features are important for me. Not that every console game (or port for the PC) is bad or something, it's just not PC game. Xbox spend 6 billion dollars trying to destroy PC gaming and they were rather successful. I would have rather like to see 'em spend that kind of money to support PC gaming but I guess it's up for Valve to collect the profit (of the few PC exclusives, Ports and indies) while MS Xbox division continue to lose truck loads of money. Just now they are spending 500 million dollars to promote Kinetic Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.
entrerix Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 definition of "dead" seems to be a big issue here. for 1 person, the release of (only) starcraft 2 and civ 5 in one year = pc is dead, for another person, the release of those two games in one year is proof that pc gaming is thriving. i'm in the middle, i think pc gaming is alive, but approaching 60 and has a lot of back pain and some mild arthritis. A far cry from the spry 25 year old who saw 4-5 big titles a year. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Hurlshort Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 I would think PC gaming wouldn't be dead until they stop porting console games over. I also think there are plenty of games every year that are released on both, but are better on the pc.

Heh, is that a Sonic 2 remake? If so, I might even get it if the prize is right! Sonic 2 is one of the very few platform games I have liked, still have it for my megadrive somewhere.
