BioWare's New Game Is Command & Conquer: Generals 2

Remember that "new" franchise that BioWare was teasing as a Spike VGA reveal? Well, it's not really a new franchise in the way you'd think. During the VGA show, it was revealed that the game is actually Command & Conquer: Generals 2.

It's a leap for a studio known for role-playing games. The game will use DICE's Frostbite 2 technology, and if the clip that was shown represented gameplay, it's going to look mighty nice. What do you think of this announcement? Also, what kind of game do you expect BIoWare to make?

Check out the brief debut trailer below from GameTrailers.

  • About time we had another C&C. There's no way this one isn't going to be great.
  • I are a disapoint. Was hoping for something a lot better. It definitely wont be bad but I was hoping for a new RPG IP.
  • Can't wait to see how Bioware pulls this one off. It looks awesome. And I've heard enough praise for General 1 to merit looking at this game quite heavily. And it's Bioware. Why not?
  • I am sad that this was the reveal. *sigh* I was wanting a new IP. Me sad. Me very,very sad.
  • While I was looking forward to another RPG, this isn't bad. I'm interested to see what Bioware can do in the RTS genre.

    EDIT: Especially with the Frostbite 2 engine.
  • Looks cool. What genre will it be?
  • Really wanted a new IP. Was hoping for like a steam-punk RPG, but I guess that will have to wait. Never truly cared for RTS.
  • Heartened and excited for this It's been way too long. This isn't so much of a stretch for Bioware to pull a game like this out of their hat so here's to you guys!


    Side note:

    I wish they'd fix the Shepard run in ME3, he runs like Cid Highwind.
  • This is THE Bioware though, it's an off shoot studio... I almost cried for a second and then i realised that talent like Mr. Hudson won't be wasted on this.

    It looks nice, but C&C? Really?

  • BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
  • Normal RTS: Kill Other Generals Troops Bioware RTS: Get involved in Romantic Subplots with other Generals.
  • Looks fun and new!!!!

  • Cannot wait to see how this turns out!

  • Hmmm.. Its Bioware, so its promising; but its not an RPG, so I am skeptic. I'll keep my eye on it.

  • Always liked C&C franchise,this looks promising!

  • Paragon units? I think so.

  • Really quiet bumbed out about this was looking forward to a new RPG you have got to wonder what the hell they are thinking.
  • wow I thought it was going to be a RPG or something like that Oh well

  • RTS's aren't really my thing. Hope they don't pull anybody off their other games to work on this.

  • Sequel=/= New Franchise
