So, over the break, one exciting announcement was made: RTS Command and Conquer will be breathing new life with a brand new game at some point, after the shaky release and even shakier reception of Command and Conquer 4. EALA won’t be handling this one though. EA has set up a new studio dubbed Victory Games to helm the development.

Great, right? One problem: the official Web site announcing all of this has been pulled, so we’ve only got scattered reports to lean on when it comes to details, which, of course, are lighter than a marshmallow at the moment. With that said, PC Gamer's World managed to grab the text of a Q&A posted on the blog that reveals this little gem: this new C&C will be a PC-focused game of AAA quality, so no worries on that front.

cool
also this is the third time i get this. yay to me

yay

fuck - I always have to log in when I see my chance to do a "first" - and guess where that leaves me? 
 
That's right... Checking into foursquare "I'm fucked".

Is this really exciting? I'm not so sure...

Hope they can fix it, but realistically for me, I haven't really been into C&C since the first 2, and maybe the first Red Alert.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Nice.
I really enjoyed Tiberium Wars and Red Alert 3.
Tiberium Twilight....let's not talk about that

This is also known as: We screwed up entirely on CnC 4, and saw that you can still make a classic RTS and be hugely successful on the PC (See: Starcraft 2, Blizzard).

They need to do something special to get the C&C series back on track, especially if they want to take on SC2. 

How about less of a focus on social networking and more on the actual game? 
The fourth game was such a disaster, I'm really surprised they're trying another so soon.

OH JESUS! 
*yawn*

Man remember Tiberium? This story totally reminds me of that, thing.

 This new C&C will be a PC-focused game of AAA quality, so no worries on that front.

BooM BooM PeW PeW !!

great so when no one buys this c&c; game they can close another studio and fire loads of people gj EA

I really hope they can find the roots that made C&C fun again. I love the series. will look forward to see what they do.

I love C&C but RA3 and especially C&C4 were shit. C&C4 really bummed me out. They have GOT to change it up and get rid of that bloody engine!

The last C&C I played and enjoyed was generals, but that was because I was playing it online with a friend, winning a lot.   
 
WTB Hi res Red alert 2. Lawl. 

Just redo C&C Generals Zero Hour with updated engine and I'll buy it day one. That game was amazing!

how about EA rehire everyone from Westwood Studios (the C&C creators) and have them bring back the majesty that was C&C. Red Alert 2 was my favorite C&C game!

I never played a C&C game before. Is it kind of game like Starcraft?

i'm sorry c&c, i've met someone else, her name is starcraft 2

C&C was my favourite franchise for many years but it ended so badly, the last few games were just terrible, not sure I can learn to love again...

Generals 2 or gtfo.

The last C&C game I really had fun with was Generals which was what, 8 years ago?  Hope they can figure this out and actually make the series what it once was.

Generals was really cool - would be nice to play an updated version.

Oh man remember WESTWOOD studios, when C&C games used to be awesome?

Hope they succeed. A good C&C trumps a good Starcraft, in my opinion.

" Just redo C&C Generals Zero Hour with updated engine and I'll buy it day one. That game was amazing! "

I would guess it'll be a Generals game or a new thing altogether. The Tiberian universe is regrettably dead since EA killed it with their last outing, and I can't see another worthwhile strategy game  set in it. And the last Red Alert doesn't seem far enough to merit a new one.  

I just hope they give whatever team that's working on it enough time and creative control to make a decent game and avoid the pitfalls that the EALA team had to suffer through.

Wait, how do they know it's going to be AAA quality? That information's kinda meaningless, at least when it's said like that.

John Van Caneghem? He's the founder of New World Computing and the guy behind the Might and Magic series as well as Multimedia Celebrity Poker. Consider me interested.

More CnC is good.

" Oh man remember WESTWOOD studios, when C&C games used to be awesome? "

played C&C but I liked Starcraft better

C&C Generals! Something along those lines and we are all good.

" Oh man remember WESTWOOD studios, when C&C games used to be awesome? "

I hope they were created to retcon the shit out of C&C4. That game is a train wreck in every way.

i have never owned a C&C game

" i have never owned a C&C game "

Yeah!

 A long time ago I had to make the decision between Warcraft 2 or Command or Conquer.   C&C was the correct choice. "
