EA Revival Plans? [Nov 08, 2021, 7:13 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Tom Henderson took
another
leak on Twitter. The credible source for pre-announcement announcements says
Electronic Arts is bringing back another beloved series. The way this is worded
leaves it unclear if EA is going to announce this tomorrow, or if he's going to
post more about it tomorrow:
New scoop tomorrow - EA is bringing back a game series that fans loved back in the day

Yay, the Ultima series is finally coming back!
I've still got my floppy disc and manual for Crusader around here somewhere. My main recollection was that the game was brutally hard, and I never finished it. Even teenage me didn't have time for that.

Why is nobody mentioning Crusader No Remorse? Or isnt that EA? I could've googled before typing this....
Ok checked it. Yeah it's EA. So my bet is on Crusader: No Remorse. Literally was the first title that came to mind for me, somehow. Access denied; Invalid keycard, bitches!
That would be interesting, I loved that series back in the day, but trying to play those games now via GoG... the controls are atrocious and the engine is pretty terrible.
I'd love an updated version, but it may end up seeming pretty simplistic vs modern games.
In general for EA though: well, good, maybe, but how about make something new instead of cashing in on nostalgia?

Second edit: Oh hi there Cutter! Just read your comment mentioning Crusader ;D

My thoughts - not wishes - based on what's likely:
Operation Flashpoint, because there are ways to fit it into the current mutliplayer/microtransaction market.
Command & Conquer, as they just 'refreshed' the series in peoples' minds with a remaster (although a strategy game doesn't seem likely.)
My #1 bet:
EA owns System Shock. A live-action System Shock show was just announced last month. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/system-shock-tv-show-in-the-works/1100-6497025/
A new system shock has been in the works for a while now https://otherside-e.com/wp/games/system-shock-3/
Archon?

Tell me I'm not the only one who wants to see this.
I came here to post this. I'd love to see this game updated.
Mythic has always deserved a contemporary follow up.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride! - HT

Did all of you forget Command and Conquer/Red Alert?
Though I personally loved red alert 2, I'd love to see a new red alert 4 -- red alert 3 wasn't bad, it jist didn't jave the charm of ra2.

With the movie out, I wouldn't be surprised if it was some kind of Dune RTS game. Although the last few I played were awful, to say the least. The one I liked the most was Dune2000 i think, which was a straight up remake of Dune2 with a few QOL improvements, and better resolutions etc. that kind of thing.
Empire Battle for Dune (or whatever) wasnt a bad game but the interface was too weird and the having to defend captured territories got tedious late game, but otherwise I agree Dune 2000 would be a good game to make a re-release and would be apropos.
