Command & Conquer: Generals 2
During the Video Game Awards Command & Conquer: Generals 2 has officially been announced. The game takes place ten years after the first release of the series. BioWare Victory is developing the game based on the critically acclaimed Battlefield 3 game engine Frostbite 2.
BioWare confirms the rumors about the new release by announcing the release of Command & Conquer: Generals 2. The strategy game is being made by the studio Victory Games that has come into existence this year. Due to a reorganization EA has placed this studio into the caring hands of BioWare. Generals 2 will be released in 2013 for pc.
In an interview with IGN producer Jon van Caneghem explains that the game takes place 10 years after the first game and although initially there is only peace, important politicians are killed during a terrorist attack. Only the generals remain alive… Shortly after the attack a war starts between the GLA, the EU and a third unannounced party. The game will provide a solid single player as well as a multiplayer game mode.
Command & Conquer: Generals 2 has a minimal system requirement of a Windows Vista SP1-system with a 2GHz-dualcoreprocessor. Furthermore 2GB of RAM and 20GB of hard disc space is expected. The graphics card must have at least 512MB of memory and be able to handle DirectX 10. The ATI Radeon 3870 of Nvidia GeForce 8800GT is given as a suitable example. However, for optimal performace a Windows 7-system with a quadcoreprocessor, 4GB of RAM and a DirectX 11-videocard with 1GB of memory is recommended…
EA explains on their website:
Uncanny Sense of Realism—Frostbite 2 technology allows for visceral, visually stunning conflict at an epic scale. Incredibly detailed units and environments, dynamic physics, and exhilarating visual effects bring the battle to life in ways never before seen. This is the closest thing to real war without the consequences.
The game will be released somewhere in 2013.
Dead Space 3 on Frostbite 2
According to rumors, the third volume in the Dead Space franchise will run on the Frostbite Engine 2. This engine already took care of the graphics of Battlefield 3 and Need for Speed: The Run.
At the CVs of different Dead Space developers at Visceral Games (the creators of Dead Space 1 and 2) a new unannounced title appeared. Because Electronic Arts has already announced there will be a Dead Space 3, Visceral Games is most likely to be working on Dead Space 3 at this time. The game is said to run on the Frostbite 2 Engine.
If this is indeed the case, it would be the fourth game in development that’s using the new graphics engine of Battlefield developer DICE. Earlier if Battlefield 3 and Need for Speed: The Run and the recently announced Command & Conquer: Generals 2 will run on the graphics engine.
Isaac Clarke, the protagonist of the Dead Space franchise, would suffer from schizophrenia, and has two personalities. As you can expect in a game, that is a good and a bad personality. Furthermore, the game is played on an ice planet. When Dead Space 3 will be released, is not yet known.
