Tiberium: Debut Trailer

The debut trailer for Tiberium was just released by EA Games today. The trailer sports some fine graphics as well as characters, but it doesn't really appeal my taste. If anything, I'd rather pick up Section 8.

Tiberium: First Screenshots Released

EA has just released the first screenshots (not including the teaser they gave us on the 18th) of their upcoming Command & Conquer FPS, Tiberium. These screenshots remind me a lot of the secret ending of Kingdom Hearts 2 for some reason. The graphics really do stun me though, they look truly amazing. Enjoy!

Electronic Arts Officially Announces Tiberium

Electronic Arts has officially announced their upcoming title, Tiberium today. This new Command & Conquer title takes players on an adventure through a devastated Earth and places them in the heart of an epic battle for control of a powerful energy source. Along with the announcement came the first official screenshot, on the left. The full press release below.

CHERTSEY, UK - December 18, 2007 – Electronic Arts today revealed it is developing Tiberium™, a new game that brings a rich, original fiction to life through intense tactical action and visceral first-person shooting. Set in a stunning sci-fi world with spectacular visual effects and dramatic environments, Tiberium takes players on an adventure through a devastated Earth and places them in the heart of an epic battle for control of a powerful energy source.

Tiberium is a mysterious extraterrestrial crystal that shatters the energy output of traditional fossil fuels. It has the power to save our civilization; it also has the power to destroy it. For eleven years, an alien tower has stood dormant, looming like an unholy mountain over a wasteland once known as the Mediterranean Sea. The tower was thought to be a relic of the Third Tiberium War; a devastating war fought for control over Tiberium crystal. It is not a relic. It is not dormant. Deep within the tower, plans are in motion for an alien invasion. This is where the Tiberium adventure begins.

Players step into the shoes of Forward Battle Commander Ricardo Vega and will assemble an assortment of elite squads to combat the global crisis. Armed with an arsenal of weapons including a transforming personal weapon system, multi-launch homing missiles, capital ship bombardments and tactical ion cannon strikes, Vega will lead the fight from the front lines.

Featuring a unique blend of first-person shooting and tactical squad combat, players will control multiple infantry, armour, and air squads as the fight escalates. In Tiberium, Vega is the most powerful presence on the battlefield, and the squads are his most decisive weapon. Players can take multi-squad control combat into single-player or bring the action into online multiplayer battles.

Chris Plummer, executive producer at EA Los Angeles, said: “After two years of pre-production, it is exciting to finally reveal this game and its rich fiction to the world. We’ve put a lot of effort into evolving the tactical shooter experience by taking core gameplay compulsions like commanding, choice and dominating your enemies and delivering them in first-person. Some of the weapons and mechanics are truly innovative for a first-person game. We’re very proud to be part of a project that has the potential to really make a mark on the canon of sci-fi fantasy fiction.”

Mike Verdu, VP and General Manager at EA Los Angeles added, “EALA has a long history of developing groundbreaking real-time strategy games with the Command & Conquer series. That series also originally introduced the Tiberium universe to gamers worldwide. Now, we are growing Tiberium from a simple backdrop to a fully realized universe with its own unique, hybrid squad-based shooter gameplay. This is the birth of a new franchise - we couldn’t be more excited.”

Developed at EA Los Angeles, Tiberium will be available worldwide in autumn 2008 for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system, and PC. The game has not yet been rated by PEGI.

Tiberium: New Command & Conquer FPS Revealed In Game Informer

The latest issue of Game Informer reveals that a Command & Conquer FPS game called Tiberium will be coming to PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

The new game is featured on the January 2008 issue. The title is said to be set 11 years after the end of the third Tiberium war. You play as Ricardo Vega, a formerly retired GDI field commander.

"The squad-based action first-person-shooter game is described as Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter meets Battlefield meets Rainbow Six Vegas, but instead set in the C&C Universe. You’ll be leading a R.A.I.D (Rapid Assault and Intercept Deployment) around the location of the tower in the Mediterranean Red Zone that NOD defended until it was built. There’s no mentioning of you fighting NOD, but you will be fighting new Scrin infantry (the two given were Shrikes, little knee-high robots with blasters an a self-destruct, and Archons, think Scrin versions of Elites from Halo).

The units that were announced that you could command were standard infantry squads, missile infantry squads, a different version of the Titan, and new Orcas. You’ll still get special powers, like an “Orbital Slug” that you can call upon to strike down your enemies."
