So apparently there's a Command and Conquer reboot coming our way.
Story at IGN
Thoughts?

I've only played Red Alert, Tiberium Dawn and Tiberium Sun. Like The Elder Scrolls series, I have little ocntact but a strange fascination with it anyways.

It better have Joe Kucan or I aint buying it.

TBH I loved Tiberium Wars and Red Alert 3. They don't need a reboot they just need to forget that sorry excuse that was Tiberium Twilight.

The only good thing about C&C4 was Joe Kucan otherwise it's beyond horrible, especially the story. I was hoping they let C&C stay dead, me forgetting about the horror that is C&C4 pretending it never existed and keeping my fond memories of C&C1 and TS. But apparently EA has to be the jerk that it is.

Long time C&C fan. I hated Generals, Twilight, and didn't care for Wars and Red Alert 3. If it isn't like the first games until Red Alert 2 then I aint buying it.

Second'd. Kane is probably my favourite video game villain ever.

Yeap definitely. Kane, Irenicus and Kefka for me.

Villain? Well that depends on your point of view :p

He is, not counting the rubbish EA made him to be. :P

They better nab Joe Kucan or its going to be doomed to fail.

Kane is the best bald badass known to man.

Frankly, given the atrocity that was Command & Conquer 4, they had better come up with something pretty goddamn amazing to get my interest back.

Ever since EA took over, the franchise has gone downhill. Command & Conquer 3 was the last truly good one, Red Alert 3 was already pretty piss-poor, and Command & Conquer 4 is the biggest embarassment in the entire franchise history.

Hell, C&C4 wasn't even supposed to be released as C&C4. According to an old programmer, the game was supposed to be a game for online only for the Asian market, to test the waters as it were. In came EA's big business officials, who decided "Hrmm, what makes business sense... Add a single player and smack a big shiny 4 on it, that'll sell!"

In my opinion, C&C4 should be erased from the canon and franchise history, and the next one should be the ACTUAL C&C4: As it should have been.

really? I thought EA was done raping and mutilating this poor franchise

yeah, EA have destroyed the series. For me the C&C series ended on RA2

They never stop...

see further, Lords of Ultima.

I feel like they could make a great game again. Command and Conquer 4 was their only misstep.

I have a C&C 4 styled frisbee, yours for free if you pay p&p, cos it's useless for all else. Doubles up as drinks coaster.

I loved C&C 3. I'm almost tempted to swear profusely on GOG when I remember what EA did to the 4. No chance I'll ever touch that franchise again.
