So, I just stumbled upon the trailer for the upcoming C&C mobile game and I was just... why EA.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8wjbzfFGNQ
The trailer actually pays homage to Red Alert so much it might as well have been used as a trailer for a mainline entry. Iconic units that look as they should, fitting music, the centerpiece of the trailer is a damn Psychic Dominator and there is an awesome teaser at the end..... Why is it that a damn mobile game promo material is more faithful to the original franchise than 99% of the current triple A output is capable of?
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
And we are at this point with the franchise simply because they had no idea how to market an RTS game 14 years ago.... Relevant vid with a former EA developer (watch from the starting timestamp until 39:14)
