Bioware/Victory Games C&C: Generals 2

A postapocalyptic setting is, where the money is, so ofcourse they're going down that road - even though to me it looks rather like a game set in the middle east (remember they want to get the CoD crowd aswell).

This picture looks rather like a concept art screen, not an actual ingame screenshot.

In any case, it's BioWare, so I am not even remotely interested.

 

What has CoD to do with the middle east?



Pretty sure it's some post-apocalyptic stuff. The image itself looks rather generic to me. Could be from Rage too, or a desert racer game, somehow. I have big doubts about this getting more rpg elements than maybe a few stats and skill upgrades.

 

There are lots of "kool missions in some sand country lol where I can shewt some terrorist guys with turbans, suicide bombers'n shit while fighting with modern army equipment lol" missions in Call of Duty or other games copying exactly the same setting - because it has a huge audience of people wanting exactly that.

Not sure what's so hard to grasp there.

 

I played the last two CoD games and I don't remember anything of that.

 

Bioware is like 4 studios right now. Edmonton is the ''traditional'' one and has made everything from Baldur's Gate to the single-player of ME3. Montréal makes the multiplayer of ME3. Bioware Mythic makes that Warhammer MMORPG, and there's a fourth studio I don't recall, they must make this new game/franchise/whatisit. I doubt it will come from Bioware Edmonton, they still have ME3 and it's DLCs to cook up (albeit Montréal made the Arrival DLC, so maybe the job is theirs from now on, I hope not it was easily the worst of the lot).

EDIT: Also, can this ''we want the Call of Duty audience'' thing die already? Of course they do, everyone does. it's the biggest franchise of all time. Setting a game in a desert doesn't mean they are copying CoD. It's not like Mass Effect went first-person shooter with you killing Russians nuking/invading the US either.

 

I think you are referring to Bioware Austin. However, this part of Bioware is responsible for the Star Wars MMO so there may be a fifth Bioware studio?

Wait....what? Still speculation, but it still looks dreadful. May Bioware, at least prepare before hand, ample amounts of lube.

That's some crazy work around wording there.

 

This screenshot makes me think this game is going to automatically suck.

 

That's funny, I had the same reaction with your avatar

 

well I guess Biowhare is serious monkey business today.

Cant say I have been really interested in any Bio game for the last 5 years or so. I mean not really bad games. But rather generic.

 

Bioware are making a new franchise? The real question is, are there romance options in the game?

 

Looks like Borderlands with a different art style to me. Besides that, after Dragon Age 2 I'm reluctant to by anything from Bioware ever again.

EDIT - I was meaning the pic in the OP.

 

There was nothing wrong with the phrasing. He pointed out that you made it sound like it could still be part of some franchise -- just not their own (Bioware's).

 

It has been confirmed as Command and Conquer Generals 2.

It's tricky wording that is supposed to generate hype as all new material. However it's just a new franchise for Bioware. They imply something new, when it's just another rehashing franchise.
