They should give it to Avalanche. Renegade Ops was close to what a modern Desert Strike should be.

I had to look this up because it sounded familiar and then I realized I played this game to death on my Sega Genesis way back when. Looking forward to seeing what happens with this.

 

[Curufinwe]

Touch based and worthless remake of the good old game is my guess.

Probably, but hopefully more like Renegade Ops.

 

[Slackerchan]

Probably one of my favorite game series of all time. I'd LOVE to play a new Desert Strike. Just keep it 3D isometric with the same basic mechanics and I'll buy it on day one.

 

[Danthrax]

Looks like Command And Conquer Generals 2.

you don't say

 

[SonicXtreme]

Renegade ops was already released

 

[the_prime_mover]

I have no hope that this will be a good thing. An HD remake, sign me up. A Syndicate style reboot, GTFO. I had so much fun with Desert Strike, Jungle Strike and Urban Strike. Fortunately they hold up really well.

 

[Skunkers]

Renegade ops was already released

That was a remake of Jackal though, wasn't it?

 

[DavionStriker]

This thing was epic back on the SNES. I loved it. I would like to see a reboot of a chopper - BF style.

 

[OmahaG8]

I've played a lot of this game. . . watched my friends and his brothers play a lot of this game.

I'm not sure at any point in time anybody enjoyed what they were playing.

I remember really liking the crane/hoist mechanics.

 

[cuyahoga]

They are really invested in bringing back their 90s IP

Spoiler

as mobile F2P and/or browser-based F2P games

I have no hope that this will be a good thing. An HD remake, sign me up. A Syndicate style reboot, GTFO.

It's probably neither of those.

 

[sixteen-bit]

iOS?

 

[BibiMaghoo]

It truly is retro revival time.

Would buy.

 

[darkstar0155]

god i would love this, loved these games back in the day!

Via Fusible

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


My favorite was Nuclear Strike though.

 

[Arkam]

If its not 3d isometric, I'm not on board!

Well if 3DS gets a port I assume you will get what you want.
(im in the same boat)

 

[Winterblink]

I smell the next Syndicate.

I wonder if someone at EA saw Ace Combat: Assault Horizon and figured the helicopter crap would make a good Strike game.

 

[The Stig]

Megadrive FTW.

desert jungle and urban.

please do a 2.5d game.

 

[Tirod]

I would absolutely love a re-release/remake/reboot of this game.

Desert Strike holds a special place in my heart as it was one of the first video games I've played, just after Sonic 1 and 2.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

expect it to be the opposite of what we'd all want.

microtransactions, f2p, browser and mobile based, X amount of lives per day without ponying up cash, Origin account required... etc.

 

[cuyahoga]

Wasn't their a Desert Strike in development about a decade ago but EA figured it might be insensitive or tacky with the Iraq War going on?

 

[Alcoholikaust]

I smell iOS/Android

has to be-

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Soviet Strike and Nuclear Strike were the shit. I also remember a video on Nuclear Strike for it's sequel, Future Strike. That game became Futurecop: LAPD.

 

[Winterblink]

Soviet Strike and Nuclear Strike were the shit. I also remember a video on Nuclear Strike for it's sequel, Future Strike. That game became Futurecop: LAPD.

They could have gone a different direction: Nano Strike, you play as a souped up white blood cell destroying infections.

 

[MattKeil]

I loved the Strike games. I once met Flint Dille at a game writer gathering/party/symposium thing, and he mentioned that he wrote Soviet Strike (as well as several GI Joe and Transformers cartoons back in the '80s). I geeked out a bit and told him how much I liked the game and quoted some favorite lines from it. He was a little floored that someone was actually quoting Soviet Strike lines to him, but was glad someone out there enjoyed it that much.

I am totally on board for new Strike games, especially if it means some re-releases of the classic Strikes.

 

[Andrew.]

Next they need to register a trademark for General Chaos.

 

[oggob]

Desert, Jungle, Urban, Soviet & Nuclear, played and loved them all... Though I can't see this being what we all want...

Even though I have the physical games, EA can you please release the PSone titles on the PAL store, so I can buy them and then play them on the Vita? Thanks!

 

[Rizsparky]

Awesome game, hope they keep the isometric view.

 

[SuperHans]

Hope they stay true to the franchise and don't make some load of shite.

 

[EchoedTruth]

Hope they stay true to the franchise and don't make some load of shite.

All they need to do - literally - is just revamp the graphics to 2.5D and add a nice soundtrack to the maps of Desert/Nuclear/Soviet, with some half-ass CoD story.

I'd be so happy

 

[Marvel]

Megadrive FTW.

Ooof, nostalgia right to the gut.

 

[Danneee]

Yes please. Give us Road Rash too and you are a bit closer to redemption.

 

[Pallad1um]

I never played the majority of this franchise, but I do love the ones I played - Desert Strike on the Mega Drive, and Soviet Strike on the Saturn. Amazing games. I would love a comeback!

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

I predict that EA will provide fans with exactly what they desire. EA always delivers...ah, yeah, no...

 

[Muppet of a Man]

God, if they fuck this up...

How much do you want to bet it will not be a top-down 3d Isometric view?

They will attempt to bastardize the franchise by making it all dudebro guaranteed.

 

[V_Ben]

I see we now know Mythic's next project.

 

[mikekennyb]

CANNOT WAIT.

Here's hoping that any new game still includes different pilots so I can fly with the guy/girl with mad winch skills. Gots to pick up my fuel.

 

[killbox]

oh hell yes! can't wait.

 

[Robot Pants]

Too bad. I refuse to buy anymore EA games, but this would be cool.

 

[gryz]

remember that first mission of jungle strike where you could blow up the presidents limo

 

[MechDX]

Wasn't their a Desert Strike in development about a decade ago but EA figured it might be insensitive or tacky with the Iraq War going on?

I thought I read the new Strike game became Mercenaries on XB/PS2?

 

[cuyahoga]

I see we now know Mythic's next project.

I heard something different a year-and-a-half ago, but that could've changed.

I thought I read the new Strike game became Mercenaries on XB/PS2?

I think I read that too, but wasn't there something at EA UK?

 

[speculawyer]

Ah, Genesis memories.

 

[Hip Hop]

Let me guess another FPS shooter

And I don't mind at all.

 

[captive]

jungle strike and desert strike were awesome.

 

[Angelcurio]

EA just needs to hire Avalanche Studios to make the game using the Renegade Ops engine. That game was gorgeous, and also had a little helicopter segment in one of the levels.

 

[Alric]

BRING IT BACK

Jungle Strike too while we're at it.

My Genesis got it's play time with Jungle Strike. I loved that game growing up.

 

[Acorn]

I remember the mission where you had to airlift Yeltsin in Nuclear or Soviet strike.

 

[casnix]

LOVED that game. EA will probably ruin it though. :/

 

[kick51]

Been a while since namedropping a classic has gotten me excited.....still waiting.
