Next time out, the Command & Conquer franchise will be more Visceral. Although the game, according to EA's Visceral Games label GM Nick Earl, is still "pretty far out," it will be part of the publisher's strategy to expand the Visceral studio as a brand. Earl detailed the multi-studio Visceral branding in a recent interview with Gamasutra, which would explain why the EA Redwood Shores studio that became Visceral has been working on several projects.
The Visceral label is a collaboration of EA in the States, the "art-focused" Shanghai studio, EA Montreal and a team in Melbourne, Australia. Earl said, "We're not outsourcing or insourcing -- we really look at it as collaborative development, where everyone is on equal playing ground." Dead Space 2 will be an indication of the result achieved through this new Visceral process.

Wait... I thought C&C4 was supposed to be the last one?

Silly Huey2k2, in music games and movies "last one" is just a polite request for publicity from news outlets.

@Huey2k2 It was supposed to be the last one about the Tiberium Wars or whatever. So, no more Kane and the likes.
This could another Red Alert, Generals, or anything, really.
After their recent batches of uninspired borderline crap, I can't say I'm excited for another one.

@Morph156 A new BLANCED version of C&C Generals would be amazing! GLA Where so imba.
USA oddly the weakest race of the three, but easily the most fun to play, the avenger missile counter vehicle was brilliant! :D

@Morph156 I like how infantry actually mattered in Generals..... well the rocket launcher guys anyway, 12 dudes garrisoned in a building could stop an unlimited number of tanks lol

Square that outcome....
Man it better be Generals, they did every type of C&C (some more than once) and they never did Generals again!

I actually anticipate a Generals 2. Generals was the closest version of C&C to the likes of Starcraft. With Starcraft 2 out, I can only imagine that they want some of that 3way, interspecies/race pie to be ground up and snorted.

So this is one of Viscerals four secret upcoming games?
1 disappointment... 3 to go.

If it's Visceral, we should count on something like "Command and Conquer: The Guns of August" or "Command and Conquer: War and Peace". You know what I'm saying.

This experience is gonna be more visceral? I was hoping that it would more of an ensemble affair, but alas, that can never be the case.

Highly doubt this will be a RTS since they were talking about wanting to give EA a good Action Game Section.
i'd like to see a third person shooter set in the C&C universe.
Preferably in the original setting, not a huge fan of C&C future stuff.
Besides Tiberian Sun that game was amazin

@Jawmuncher If they paid any attention to the success of Starcraft 2, they will likely have changed their mind....
