Command & Conquer ripoff

[Niliu]

GDF instead of GDI.
Tempest Dynasty instead of Brotherhood of Nod.
Tempest instead of Tiberium.

For christs sake, the red beret on the cover art was a staple of the Red Alert series.

Update: Thanks for the free Steam points. You're aware copyrights exist right? I emailed EA's legal department, they seem quite interested.

EA would only get involved here if any assets or concepts where directly copied from something they owned and didn't give permission to use.

Like if the game was called command and conquer or a faction was named NOD and lead by a character named Kane who looked like like Joe kucan or a resource was named tiberium etc...

Close means nothing.

To EAs credit a bunch of guys remade renegade and EA allowed it

These guys here have teams of lawyers too, I'm sure they did their due diligence before taking any game names or concepts to market

I for one enjoyed the old CnC's and very few have tried to make RTS's that live up to that golden age and I look at Tempest Rising and I say yay let the good times role once more, would still love to see a DUNE 2000 Remastered but doubt that will ever exist

i mean emperor battle for dune was amazing, it was westwoods last game under there name.

tbh there is nothing thats even close to 1 to 1 for tempest rising to worry about. it just has the vibe down so well and alot of call backs to cnc games that it feels like a cnc game. Now if they had there own version of kane and mammoth tanks , then maybe? but even then there still probably be fine.

It was I never played it though I mostly grew up with DUNE 2000 and an original demo disk for Serious Sam the first encounter, it was a shame what EA did to WestWood studios but at least they survived they just had to sacrifice their studio to do so.

I think the developers for Tempest Rising don't need to worry about EA knocking on their door I watched the first game-play vid they showed and ya it has nothing in common with CnC, unless EA somehow managed to patent RTS game mechanics their good and I for one am looking forward to it.

They didnt kill the series with the mobile game, it was just a piss on the corpse, the real blow started with the 3 games, went in bad directions, only had 1 year or even less to develop, then canceled all plans for a future game, lost developers, bought Twilight and put a 4 on it, that was the real blow, then the studio making Generals 2 all quit, then assembled a little studio to make that mobile game which has ceased development (by the way, if you want C&C on mobile, Art of War 3 is it, not Rivals). Dune 2000 is already ''remaster'' or remake of Dune 2, thats the game that needs a remaster or better yet, the Megadrive port which was superior to the PC version, but obviously it wont happen, everyone tries to ignore, forget, not mention or remember those games, Spice Wars tried so hard to distance themselves from them, not making a game for the fans. And Westwood didnt survive, they lost all the most influental, talented people that gave us those games, their no longer there, they are everywhere or nowhere, their releases since then speak for themselves.

EA acquired Westwood while tib sun was being developed. After that EA shuttered "westwood" as a name and rebranded as EALA and made generals which was awesome, then they made red alert 3,.cnc3, cnx4, etc.. those games were ok, but cnc4 sucked. In the meantime some of the old Westwood guys formed petroglyph games and they made the 8 bit series and were hired to do the work.to.make grey goo and the cnc remaster and probably other titles that were not their own. They also made themselves forged battalion and almost finished earth breakers. Petro seems like a group who wants to make their own games but when a bigger companies wants them they tend to go get that pay check, cant blame them.

After EALA folded, EA spun out a new dev team called danger close then later victory games to.make cnc generals 2, which got canceled. The lead on that now is the lead of the upcoming rts stormgate from frost giant.

Sorry, I'm bored. I was actually EALA back in 2005, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome studio

oh for god sakes... just because its a RTS like C&C doesn't make it a f**king C&C rip off

im a FREAKING HARDCORE FAN of C&C, as much as i (personally) believe its hard for any game to hold a candle to them, i do and will admit that its nice to see games that pay respects and shout out towards the king of RTS games
(but thats my opinion, im not forcing it on others)

however... if there is one thing that annoys me itstt people that say a game is a rip off from another game simply because it uses stuff similiar....

ohhhhh clanfolk is a rip off of rimworld,,,
ohhhhh this game is a rip of off C&C....
shut the f up....

using that logic i bet you call shadow tactics a ripoff of commandos...
or xenonaughts and phoenix point a ripoff of xcom.......

..... using you logic... lets call ALL heists EVER like payday 2 a ripoff of the clue! for amiga...
or city skylines a ripoff of simcity
humankind a ripoff of civilization...

Amazon almost bought EA, some rumors that Disney was looking at EA. Would be curious to see if cnc would ever get some new life if EA got folded under some behemoth company like that. Otherwise seems like cnc is dead on the vine especially since petroglyph isn't working on a cnc game for them, which would have made the most sense

amazon buying EA ...... EWW!!!

as for C&C getting new life.... tthat would be awesome :)...... long as its red alert :P
f*** generals, C&C <GDI+NOD> gets a passing mark :p.

<edit>
WAIT!!...
ill be happy if red alert gets revived... AS LONG as they get an agent tanya that was like RED2 and yuri's revenge actress and doesn't go the red alert 3 route and puts models who cant act (the only female cast member on that game that could was the future tech tyrant lady, and gina who played Natasha)

at least Kari (red alert 2's tanya)... could at least play the role decently
......lets not forget the voice clips for her unit... perfection... SHAKE IT BABY!
...and that laugh... god the manic laugh :)
