RIP Desert Strike it is then.

 

[Mashing]

Jungle Strike was the better game, but I won't lie, my friends and I played the shit out of both games. So much fun.

 

[MonkeyKing]

Pleeeeease don't screw this up.

 

[Bedlam]

Hard to get hyped for this when I know EA is going to fuck it up somehow (mobile, f2p, 4 player FPS, etc.).

Yup, always count on EA for ruining classic franchises. Another good name down the drain.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Awwwwwwwwwww yeah

fuckin

Desert Strike

 

[Exalted]

If they are smart they have reused the assets from the canceled C&C game, instead of it all going to waste.

 

[ArjanN]

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

Nah, just vaguely similar but there's just about as much Desert Strike in it.

Also, that makes me think you haven't played it and should thus correct that mistake immediately.

 

[Strife In a Teacup]

Salvage operation to reuse assets from the recently canned C&C F2P game?

That was my thought as well.

 

[oconnomiyaki]

One can dream...

 

[AusRoachman]

99 cents for more fuel

1.99 for more rockets

2.99 collect all crates and hostages

 

[TheFNEffecT]

Awwwwwwwwwww yeah

fuckin

Desert Strike

Thank You......holy shit I love this game

 

[nikos]

Used to love those Strike games for some reason.

Let me guess another FPS shooter

A first person shooter shooter: you shoot first person shooters.

 

[GravyButt]

God I played the fuck out of these games when I was younger. So awesome.

 

[spiritfox]

Godamn EA don't ruin this too.

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

Megadrive FTW.

I only ever rented it from the local corner store, but being a small town boy at the time, we used spend a lot of time building tree forts and drawing army maps on paper that looked exactly like this, so when we played Jungle Strike for the first time we thought it was so awesome to see an army map actually realized and interactive on TV... Ah, we were so easily impressed in those days.

 

[Kageshinzo]

Goddammit, I hope they don't screw this up. Not the Strike series!

 

[HueyFreeman]

Why can't these guys just bring back.. the original game? No redux, no redone visuals. Just the original game.

 

[Slayer-33]

None of you infidels played Soviet and Nuclear strike? How disappointing

 

[DocSeuss]

I smell the next Syndicate.

I would buy it if it it was.

 

[bob page]

Dont fuck this up, EA.

 

[Kageshinzo]

None of you infidels played Soviet and Nuclear strike? How disappointing

Nuclear Strike is the only Strike game I didn't finish. For some reason, it doesn't have the oomph that its predecessors have for me.

Maybe I should dust my PS1 and get back to it.

 

[Dan]

If this is related to an HD digital title, I am all in. I loved those Strike games.

 

[Ace Harding]

YES. I was playing this on SNES recently. Such a good game. Ahead of its time.

Open world, isometric shooter.

 

[Lynd7]

Cool, my dad and I used to love Desert Strike. It was pretty hard though, don't think I ever got close to finishing it.

 

[Satchel]

I'd get excited but EA will fuck this up no doubt like they did Syndicate.

 

[BONDO]

Used to play the shit out of this on the Genesis.
Maybe i should bust it out

 

[tazz3]

Soviet strike was awseome

 

[Lupin the Third]

Nuclear Strike is the only Strike game I didn't finish. For some reason, it doesn't have the oomph that its predecessors have for me.

Maybe I should dust my PS1 and get back to it.

But..but...it's "better than Soviet Strike"!

 

[fixuis]

HD remake of all the strike games, do it EA!! day 1..maaaan so many memories..

 

[Daffy Duck]

I'd pay for a good HD remake of this series. One of my all time favourites.

Please EA if you do this, do it properly.

Hope it's not a mobile game.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Damn. I've been waiting for this moment. Have played and aced every strike game that matters.

Hire me, EA. I'll ensure you make the best Strike game ever. Ever!

Step 1: Use assets from Battlefield 4.
Step 2: Use Frostbite Engine.
Step 3: Isometric or bust. Bust!
Step 4: The music needs to stay.
Step 5: Only and ONLY control helicopter. Please no shooter bits where you are some soldier on the fucking ground. I already have BF4 for that.
Step 6: Music needs to return. Hire Simon Viklund.
Step 7: Coop play. Either two choppers, or one man controls the gunner.
Step 8: Customization is key. Chopper, color, guns, ammos, attachments and more. Please don't restrict this shit for DLC!

 

[cluderi]

Resogun and SSHD are proof older games can work on the new consoles if done right.

Sadly ...

I smell iOS/Android

Me too and I loved Desert and Jungle back in the day.

 

[katsubento]

I loved them all.

 

[razoftblend]

As a fan of the original game, I should feel happy, but this is EA. If only this was for 3DS/Vita; but it's more likely to land on iOS/Android.

 

[RAIDEN1]

Hopefully its not an android etc release...HD update for PC/PSN/XB-live would do nicely....and I agree there is a very real chance that EA will screw it up...and try to make it out to be something its not...

Must say though apart from vaguely remembering playing the original on the Amiga, and a brief play on Jungle strike I haven't played any of the other releases...is there anyway to get them for free on PC? Or are they available for the PS/Xbox 360?

 

[dolabla]

This would f'n awesome if done right. Hope it's a console game. I loved it on the SNES.

 

[riceandpea]

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

This, basically.

There's perfect opportunity to do a top down digital-only game, but it'll either by an iOS game or something more like a flight sim (for the immersion, /rollseyes)

Now the rest please

 

[revolverjgw]

I always got Strike vibes while cruising around in hover mode in Warhawk, bombing bitches on the ground

 

[Kosma]

Helicopter crashes and you're on foot for 90% of the game. 10% is flashbacks of you in the chopper with limited control.

Out of fuel/ammo = microtransactions

 

[Yagharek]

Hopefully they do quality control and it's not broken online like every recent EA game.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I have a feeling that's what were going to get.
Probably something akin to Assault Horizon where half the missions are the chopper and the other the soldier.

BRING IT BACK

Jungle Strike too while we're at it.

Jungle Strike was the best, i loved that night time mission where you were flying over a Jungle & then once you had shot a load of stuff you had to land & then get into a F117-A Stealth Fighter, it was great because the screen was basically black & you had to navigate with a radar but you could only see anything when you fired a missile that would light up the screen.

[kanuuna]

I just came here to post this.
I'd kinda want to see a HD remake of Jungle Strike. Maybe it hasn't aged well, but I would definitely get it for nostalgia's sake.
