C&C Tiberium Not Due Until 2009-2010
Posted by Luke Plunkett at 5:30 PM on July 30, 2008
EA's Command & Conquer-based squad shooter, Tiberium, was looking alright when first unveiled earlier in the year. And yet, it wasn't at E3. Why? Probably because there was nothing to show, with EA quietly announcing during their earnings conference call today that the game's not due until the 2010 financial year. Which is anywhere from April 2009 to March 2010. Technically this is a "delay", since the game was originally slated to appear later this year, but, yeah. It was never really going to make it in 2008.

I think it would have been a massive mistake to release the game this year. I think that the extra time can only make the game better and since its an EA developed game...anything that makes the game better should be taken by the truckload :)
Hopefully this can go against the trend and be a good 1st part game from EA. I don't want to see C&C die a slow painful death.
Some of these Captcha things are so stupid =/

Renegade was and still is pretty fucking awesome and was severely overlooked when it came out. I really want a sequel to that game with the focus 100% on multiplayer. Make the maps a little bigger, throw in water units, items and weapons like a mine destroyer thatll take out four mines to make apc runs easier.

By 'squad-based', I do hope this game is more like Brothers in Arms (also horribly delayed). I also want to pilot those vehicles we always see. Maybe this will be better thn Renegade (which was sort of good, especially multiplayer, but single player ends too suddenly).

Jesus. One to two years? Thats pretty lame. I didn't expect it to be released in 2008, but the chance of it being released in 2010 is pretty stupid.
I want it still, though.

The original C&C 'Tiberium' canon is by far my favourite, guess I'll have to wait :(! At least eventually RA3 will be here to tide me over until then...

It's a shame, I was looking forward to this title. Still, hopefully it is a GTAIV-esque situation where they are adding polish to the title as opposed to fixing it if it is currently a mess.

If I can take cover behind a blown up tank and provide covering fire to advancing team mates -- I'm sold.

That's fine with me...this game needs to be polished and kickass as possible.

I remember glazing over an issue of Game Informer, and the cover grabbed my attention. After a few sci-fi FPA's, to a few FPS's (not all were successful). This one may take the cake, whenever its released.
I do see why EA put the title on hold. But it would have been fun to see at least a gameplay demo. MAG however.. wonder why it seems kinda familiar.

Why did they have magazine coverstories and developer interviews already if it's still so far away. I had totally forgotten about the game in the meantime so those efforts were in vain.

NP. Once the engine is down, we'll get yearly installments.

Take as long as it needs to be one of te all time greatest C&C titles ever made. I can wait.

If it was originally slated for late 2008, Summer 2009 is probably the mostly likely release timeframe.
Whenever you see a game preview that has a expected launch date more than 6 months in advance, just tack on 6 months to their expected release and that will be the actual release. If it comes out "on time". that just means it wasn't finished. *COUGH* KOTOR2 *COUGH*

I hear there's some bad blood on the project..could be why the delay, but take this with a grain of salt.

@DontTouchMyDaughterYouFilthyGaijin: I agree, was treated far too harshly.
