APOC Interview
Fri - Jan 22, 2010, 9:32 am [EST] posted by Lion

Community icon

German C&C website CNC-Welton.de conducted and interview with our community leader APOC recently. Here's a snip.
Question: Do you enjoy your work? Tell us something about what you are doing at EA.

APOC: I have one of the most unique jobs in the world, without a doubt. Right now, today, what am I doing? Responding to comments on the message boards, making up for posting a mistaken tropical Polynesia C&C 4 screenshot I snapped and posted, explaining why we can't fix the outlines on our C&C 4 units (which I personally like), prepping the strategic community plan to launch for C&C 4, determining what will go on our website next week, taking 6 C&C 4 screenshots, working on the next unit profile (I make all the videos in world-builder BTW), giving 2POC some orders, haha, just had a chat with our volunteer team, sending out some over-due prizes, and gathering some historical data on BFME and C&C online user metrics.yes, all in a day's work.

Regarding the future of C&C and C&C support:

APOC: As I mentioned about JVC and the C&C Gods, right now, I can't comment deeply about the future of C&C as we are laser focused on Command & Conquer 4, but as JVC mentioned in his interview with GamaSutra recently, there absolutely is a future, and I think our development team will really be taking some time to develop that deeply, especially, and I mean this considerably, with our community and hardcore fans at the forefront.

For C&C 4 support, our dev team has improved considerably since the days of BFME 1, and for C&C 4, we will be addressing the most critical issues in as much as we humanly can, as always. I've made the mistake in the past of making unfulfilled promises (every Community Manager has his/her moments), so for this interview, I'm staying in cold water, and will just say, reinforcements will be circling the battlefield.
Head HERE for the full interview.


APOC Comments on the Future of the C&C Franchise
Fri - Jan 22, 2010, 9:31 am [EST] posted by Lion

Community icon

On the official C&C forums, our community leader APOC posted a brief comment on the future of Command & Conquer.
C&C 4 is the end of the current Tiberium storyline, but there is a future for the Command & Conquer franchise as our new RTS leader, Jon Van Caneghem has alluded to in his interview at GamaSutra not that long ago. I will say, many of the preconceived notions from that interview are very far fetched.

I can tell you with 100% certainty, involving you, the community, in the future of the C&C franchise, will be critical and important to us.

For now, our dev team is focused on completing a great game that will be C&C 4. Just IMO, I think it may surprise.

Been a while since I've updated RADEN. There's really NOT a whole lot to report about for the Red Alert universe as of late. I do have some RA3 maps I will be posting up this week. Other than that, most of the attention seems to be on C&C4.

New DEN Network Poll Question
Fri - Nov 13, 2009, 7:51 pm [EST] posted by Lion

RADEN icon

Back on August 12th of this year I posted a poll that asked the following question: With what we know so far, are you happy with the direction C&C4 is taking?

Here were the results:

[430 votes total]

- Yes (113) 26%
- No (223) 52%
- Undecided (94) 22%

I said back in August I'd bring that poll question up again after several months had passed and see if anyone had a change of heart after learning more about C&C4. Three months have passed, and oodles of new info has been dumped on us. So, the new poll question asks:

With what we now know, are you happy with the direction C&C4 has taken?

It will be interesting to see which direction the poll goes this time around, and IF those undecided voters have made up their minds.

C&C Team Included With EA Job Cuts?
Tue - Nov 10, 2009, 9:41 pm [EST] posted by Lion

EA News icon

On a follow-up to the story about the massive EA job cuts coming down the pike, website Kotaku.com has Posted the following rumor.
Electronic Arts announced yesterday it would be eliminating 1,500 jobs, cutting a dozen in-development games and closing "several facilities." According to multiple sources, those cutbacks include studios like Pandemic, Maxis and nearly the entire Command & Conquer team.

Sources tell Kotaku that the team working on Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight was warned of its fate today, with almost the entire team expected to be let go after the real-time strategy game ships some time in 2010.

Also said to be affected heavily are Spore and former-Sims studio EA Maxis, social network gaming acquisition Rupture Studios, and Mercenaries and The Saboteur creators Pandemic Studios LA. Those development studios are said to be hit with substantial layoffs, according to a source, with remaining employees relocated to EA headquarters in Los Angeles and Redwood Shores.

EA is rumored to have already laid off staff at Tiburon, Mythic Entertainment and Black Box, reports which the company has yet to confirm.

We've reached out to Electronic Arts to verify these latest details, but have not yet heard back.
So there's no official verification from EA about possible layoffs at the EALA studios where Command & Conquer games are developed. I'm not going to speculate on the future of C&C. I do know the economy in the United States continues on a downward spiral, and these layoffs from EA does not surprise me in the least. This kind of thing is happening to many businesses in the USA.
