Westwood studios?

as you all know, Westwood was disbanded a few years back, and the remaining team of five joined a new studio called redwood. which SUCKS. so the original people who brought you the C&C series decided enough was enough.

They started a new company called Petroglyph games. they EVEN got frank Klepacki to come back and do all the sweet game music.  GO C&C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!except generals because that was made by EA games not Westwood.

    Nox was a good game.

    Personally, i experienced every released product of WWS and loved it. Was very unhappy they were hit my EA...

    I'm looking forward to some of their new material.

    alot of companies that were absorbed into larger companies a while back are now starting a new company again and working a Niche market?

    i didnt say its OVER! the name of C&C now belongs to EA games but the heart and soul of the games is still in the designers who created the game.

    AND plus WESTWOOD WAS DISBANDED ABOUT 3YEARS AGO!

    Westwood is sort of like blizzard. Although blizzard is still around, alot of the orig dev's went off and created another company (Name anyone?) which is creating GuildWars now.

    We wont be seeing a Command & Conquer title from Petroglyph. The name belongs to EA and I don't see them giving it away.

    From the design of Petroglyph's website signs point that the game they're developing is a game set way back. Similar to the AoE and AoM titles, I think.
