EA Cans Production Of C&C Shooter, Tiberium
September 30, 2008
Unfortunate news in video game development land. EA has closed down production on the first person shooter offshoot of Command & Conquer, Tiberium. According to a post on Kotaku (they also got their hands on an internal memo circulated to the internal development team) the game just wasn’t up to par and wasn’t going to get there by its intended release date in 2010.
It’s more than a little disappointing that EA can find the money to hire a dozen high-priced actors to make dance remix videos of Command & Conquer Red Alert cut scenes but doesn’t want to spend the cash on fixing the kinks in Tiberium. The real lesson here? Even the C&C brand isn’t enough to support a game if it isn’t already firmly lodged in the warm, sales-generating bedrock that is Gemma Atkinson’s cleavage.
