Tiberium Cancelled
Post by General Tekno on October 3rd, 2008

Well, as BTGN rises again as the GameRigs Gaming Network, it seems all of the games it was covering won't be following it.

On September 30, EA confirmed that Tiberium, the FPS set in the Command and Conquer universe, has been cancelled. GameSpot has the story:
"EA has suspended work on Tiberium effective immediately," corporate communications spokesperson Mariam Sughayer told GameSpot. "The game was not on track to meet the high quality standards set by the team and by the EA Games Label. A lower-quality game is not in the best interest of the consumers and would not succeed in this market." Since taking over in 2007, EA CEO John Riccitiello and EA Games president Frank Gibeau have said they are implementing a more strident quality-control system at EA's numerous internal studios.
