God....C&C generals was pretty terrible. It just had absolutely no personality compared to the main C&C and Red Alert universes.If theyr playing it straight and losing the campy fun then I gotta say,Im really not interested.
I'm interested considering that BioWare has never really delved into the RTS genre. I'm usually a fan of their work, so I'm excited to see where they're going to take the C&C franchise, and how well they're going to do with it.
PC predominant franchise made by EA, likely to have Origin exclusivity and requirement, and then separated from any development team familiar with the genre...
I really enjoyed C&C Generals, but I didn't care much for the trailer. So I'm kinda looking forward to it.
If they put in LGBT characters and cut out that weird practice of using live actors the series is known for, then I'd be willing to play it.
Look, it can't be any worse than the clusterbortion that C&C4 was.
Having said that, I'm just going to go to my grave pretending that the franchise ended at C&C3.

That's awesome! Good to see Bioware doing something different, and I love C&C. Can't wait to see more!
It should be noted that this is not REALLY a Bioware game. EA just slapped the Bioware brand name on a studio they recently bought, it doesn't have much to do with the core Bioware studio that made Dragon Age and Mass Effect.
I'm not really excited for this. It has lots of great-sounding names (Bioware, C&C, Generals, Frostbite Engine), but there's no-one involved that actually made these things as good as they are, so the branding doesn't mean anything to me.

Uhhh... Why Frostbite 2 engine? Is it going to be a FPS-RTS hybrid where you can directly control units?
@Maniac
Just because BF3 was an FPS, doesn't mean that's the only thing that Frostbite 2 can do. It's like saying that Unreal 3 can only make FPSs. I highly doubt this would somehow be an FPS-RTS hybrid.
...honestly, you just revived memories of Tiberium. RIP.
Anyways, some people not doing a whole lot of homework here. It's not being *directly* made by BioWare. Froody is right. BioWare's name is attached to the title so it attracts attention. It's a studio called Victory Games who's making it. They're made of a bunch of ex-C&C developers (hopefully the ones who made C&C3, in any case). If I had to hedge a bet, BioWare will be in charge of the writing.

Yeah as Froody said EA have recently been acquiring smaller developers and just calling them Bioware, to try and get whatever they’re working on some cred I imagine. They’re going to end up dragging Bioware’s name through the mud if they keep it up, but then EA never seem to think of the long run.
Hey this might be good but I'd just like to add a "fuck you" to EA because I really wanted Bioware to concentrate on a new IP.
As a fan of Mass Effect as well as needless hyperbole, I'd like to say that this is at least a million times worse than what Lucas did to Star Wars.
Bioware the "RPG people" as Dale put it no longer exists in the sense that we can no longer assume a "Bioware" game is made by the "real" Bioware. EA has been slapping the Bioware brand all over the place, and from now one we can expect several "Bioware" games that are really made by a rebranded studio. Of course, this will most likely ruin the Bioware brand in the long run, but hey, it's EA.
BioWare isnt developing this, Victory Games is, VG is just under the BioWare label now. Guess that story never broke, EA made BioWare a label.
Im sorry but after reading comments from most of the posts about the trailers for new games I have to say that gamers sre some of the most anoying ignorant whiny cuntcocks of the entertainment industry. Get the fuck over yourselves and wait for more info. Jesus cunting ass.
This is fucking stupid. Guess I won't be playing another BioWare game for a few years after Mass Effect 2
Meh. Not surprised. Bioware went from my favorite studio to just another brand to be mismanaged, abused, and eventually killed off by EA. Damn locust publishers. Makes it easier to never buy another EA product again though...
Playing catch up.to Blizzard, Bioware? GL;HF
Seriously, I welcome all attempts at RTS's, particularly from such a big studio. There aren't enough of those around anymore.

Victory Games was set up by EA as a dedicated strategy team. That would fill me with more confidence if I liked those games than just slapping Bioware on the box.
I still play generals now, bst CnC evar!!!!
This is better news than i could have imagined!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

As a huge fan of CnC since the 90s I'll be approaching this with caution for now. Using the Bioware brand and frostbite engine (no mods?) makes me wonder what they plan to do with this as the trailer showed very little. The idea of it being an FPS/RTS hybrid would be cool, but that seems to niche for EA. I fear that this might end up being a DRM, always-online, Origin infested and simplified game that will continue to disappoint CnC fans. Hopefully I'm wrong and they actually deliver something special.
could have atleast put Dice in charge. They make military games.
How are bioware gonna put conversation options in this! :D
But anyway i love bioware and Generals was the last C&C i liked so bring it on :D

Maybe this game will allow for more strategy and...well, thinking in general.

Not really, I really enjoyed generals but I don't think bioware has what it takes to make an rts game, plus, lately ea has been fucking up almost everything they release so I don't trust them not to fuck this up.
