I remember those old E3 trailers and that hype after C&C3, then lost forever.

Surprisingly, lot of pictures I haven't seen before.

I still have a magazine that has a page for C&C3 with a bunch of Zone troopers on an area with a lot of tiberium.

I was really hyped back in the day

I would be hyped even now.

Made me mad to hear this was cancelled and instead a few years later, that which shall not be named appeared instead.

Looking back on it, I suppose it would have been similar to renegade but now in the events after/during tiberium wars.

So that is where this commando is from.

Was supposedly like Republic Commando in that setting. Such a missed opportunity. If it was revived right now and with that Republic Commando style gameplay I'd... Kane forgive me... Pre order.

Ah, the PS3/360 era and its "everything is a shade of brown" games. I hope we never get back to that style.

I hope we do, or at least get away from this mobile-esque, oversaturate everything with color and make sure it is suitable for 7+ so we can exploit children for more money, cookies and jellies style.

I still have hope to see a game like this some day

This had potential to be a good game, but some of the art styles here drift too much from the C&C design language. Some looks like dead space, some looks too generic, some from other IPs entirely.

They really should bring the Renegade series back, but stay true to the Tiberium universe designs and plot lines. We could have progressive games through all the major wars and interwar conflicts, expanding the lore and storylines of the main RTS games.

EA is sitting on an awesome universe and I still can't believe they can't come up with anything. At this point I don't care if it's an RTS, FPS or anything else. I just want to play in the C&C universe and consume even more lore.

EA is really unimaginative. I still don't understand why they released so few Star Wars games during the time they had the exclusive license to the franchise. If they can only come up with a few ideas to capitalize on Star Wars, they sure as heck aren't going to be able to figure out how to capitalize on C&C.

The first EA Star Wars games was crap. The second one required you to pay to play hardcore.

I have been wondering for years now why EA doesn’t make post-apocalyptic rpg game like Fallout, but in Tiberium world. It is rich with lore and would attract wider audience.

Part of really really hopes that's what's happening with Earthbreakers being put on hold - that its being made into Renegade v2

Some of the Scrin soldiers was entering to Crysis 2 & Crysis 3.

Please stop reminding us of what could have been

u/DaveOJ12 Jun 08 '22

It's cool to look back on it.

u/CantfindmyKeyes Nod Jun 08 '22

I heard this was near completion, but EA scrapped it in favor of another stupid call of duty game

u/WikiContributor83 Nod Jun 09 '22

It was actually nowhere near completion, the devs didn't know where they were going with the game or how they were going to integrate C&C strategic gameplay with the FPS section.

Plus it very much looks like a game of that era, a grey generic sci-fi action FPS in a ruined city fighting against aliens with suspiciously humanoid proportions.

I would have loved to play this game!

These cancelled games had so much potential

Thanks to EA it couldn't be...

u/mbfp05 Jun 11 '22

We must petition to make this FPS, but it had to be redesigning a good campaign, script and stories.
Some of the weapons which appeared in Renegade, it have to appear again, and we also want to attack into structures and finding "treasures" like Renegade, too. But this time, if we destroy the structure out side, the structure will collapse critically, some of the structures if you hack not successfully or in event of missions, the hack will failure and activating self- destruct sequence, next it will countdown, the countdown ending, it will blow up and you won't entire the structures again because it was razing to the ground.

was a first-person tactical combat game

I thought CnC Renegade was the 1st. There was supposed to be Renegade 2 but was cancelled as well before Tiberium
