Command & Conquer: Generals 2 krijgt toch singleplayer

Eerder kwam het bericht naar buiten dat Command & Conquer: Generals 2 geen singleplayer zou bevatten, maar nu komt Electronic Arts daarop terug. Volgens directeur EA Labels Frank Gibeau luistert EA naar zijn fans en komt er toch een singleplayer campagne in de game:

Does that mean it’s not going to have single-player? No, that’s something we’ve obviously heard loud and clear that is important to people.

The beauty of free-to-play, is that we can adjust and adapt to what we’re hearing as opposed to, ‘I’m sorry, it’s two months from ship and it is what it is.’ It’s a very different model because you don’t have to build as much. You build in response to your audience.

Volgens de beste man kunnen tijdens het productieproces dingen worden veranderd als de fans dat graag willen:

We started with, ‘How do we build a triple-A Command & Conquer experience? Is the best way to go to market, premium or is the best way to go to market, free-to-play? We’re like, ‘We’ll get the biggest market with free-to-play and we can evolve it over time based on what we see happening inside the service.

Our goal is to evolve the service in response to what people want and that’s the beauty of free-to-play: You build as you receive information from your audience. When you build a premium game you have to go way in the hole, in terms of spending out a lot of money building a certain experience and then putting it out there to see how people respond.

Command & Conquer: Generals 2 verschijnt, inclusief singleplayer, ergens in 2013.
