I think this makes it VERY clear what they are working on.
Mike Legg - We have been extremely fortunate that is has actually not been very hard for us. We have an excellent publisher and project, both of which we are very happy with. We had many meetings with publishers at E3 2003, and had some great opportunities presented to us. Afterward, we chose to pursue our top opportunities, and managed to secure our very favorite one. It took a good amount of time, but everything fell into place. We realize that times are very hard in the game industry, and we take nothing of what we have for granted. We were also very fortunate to have many of our old cohorts join us in our new adventure. Everyone in the company is passionate, dedicated, hard-working and very highly experienced – and we’ve all worked together before (as of these questions). Petroglyph would be no where near as successful as it is without the amazing group of people that contribute to its daily life and culture.
Here's the math folks:
WW cnc guys revolt, and quit.
WW cnc guys start own company.
WW cnc guys state they got thier #1 choice for what they want to work on.
= Command and Conquer in some form or another.

They're not working on a new C&C game.
|
You won't mind if I don't take your word on it, will you?

I dont think they legally can make a command and conquer game. EA owns the rights to it now dont they.
Couldnt they still make Tiberian Twilight without it having the cnc name on it? Or does the franchise ownership mean all the ideas etc too

Not at all. I know they're not making C&C because I know what they are making. I'm just not allowed to tell anyone.

Doesn't EA own the rights to Command and Conquer ?
|
Big game companies routinely subcontract programming and other stuff out, then put thier name on it prior to shipping. This is nothing new.
If Pi is right, this is a sad state of affairs. I figured thier recent arrival in our forums would be for a reason. Primarily to gauge response to a new cnc game. Logic would suppose that EA upon losing it's experienced staff on THE game line that founded the RTS genre would subcontract that work to them. I also figured that the "nice" way Mike refers to his former oppressor at EA was a way to placate his new employer.
Proof that logic doesn't figure when it comes to EA.

RTS most probably, they did say it was something that their experience prepared them well for. Hmmm, reminds me of that old rumour that they were doing a venture with Blizzard...
