Planetcnc recently sat down with Louis Castle, one of the founders(the other was Brett Sperry) of beloved but buried WestWood. Here's a snip of this relatively long interview:

Q. Can you share some of your expectations, goals and opportunities you believe the new location holds for the teams, the games and the studio? Especially with the resources of Tinsle Town now closer at your disposal....

A: Our goal is simple, to make the worlds best First Person Shooters and Real Time Strategy games. The opportunity to have a higher quality of talent condensed into one location allows us to have even better efficiency on much larger scale productions. The scale of the combined studio and the location of Los Angeles allows us to hire the best in film, television or the interactive industry to suit each job.

Q. In your own words, what do you think about the new aproach of EA as a whole towards C&C? Who is the new lead on Command & Conquer at EALA?

A: I strongly feel that C&C will be best served as a franchise and the customers will have the best quality product and support by consolidating operations and having one technology base and infrastructure for building products, matchmaking, MODs and customer support. The lead on C&C has not been announced.

If you read this interview, you will notice it's quite mysterious and Louis can't talk about all aspects and can't answer all questions asked. Still, it's worth a read!
