Perhaps with that one they may take a look at a notable mod based mainly on the expansion, mental omega, altough for me that collab seems to be stuck in 3.3.4 with the last missions on the campaign being still on development, the can look at it on how to expand the games, bringing an old game to modern day will being completely staying true to its original is great, adding more things that weren't previously there will be even better. Like i in the mod i mentioned there is a soviet mission set in washington dc. And the maps size is HUGE it includes the skirmish multiplayer map wish is also tbe base for many missions in ra2 alongside the alexandria part with the soviet mission 1 and allied mission 6 plus many other thing including the capitol.

About the 3d cutscenes: I can understand someone who didn't play the game 25 years ago would have preferred redone cutscenes, but I can say I prefer that they haven't touched them beyond upscaling and cleaning them up a bit. The whole point of this remaster is to give the fans a huge nostalgia boner while also poking the interest of new players. Changing the cutscenes would have caused a bit of a backlash I think.

The original 3d cutsences are actually what i love the most, as it gives a really nice nostalgia feeling to see these again. The selling of all buildings to get troops just to lose the game is a bit wrong. This a mechanic from back in the day, when the AI realizes it has lost, it will forfeit by selling all buildings, as there is no button or option to just give up. Same happens in AOE2 DE, the AI will destroy all military buildings if it has lost all or most of its Town centers and Villagers. The only major flaw I have encountered to far is the difficulty setting for the campaign (havent tried custom games). As it kinda feels like its as follows: on causual all your units/buildings have 50% more hp, on hard all your units/buildings have 50% less hp. Which makes the nod campaign in certain missions impossible. And no its not whining, if someone knows how to win the steal orca mission on hard or the first nod commando mission, feel free to link me a video or guide to it. I have tried for hours, but those pesky airstrikes ruin the mission every time...

Not all pc setups are the same, so there are bound to be some tweaking that needs to happen. But the by far overall impression is amazing. And yes, I do indeed hope that they will remaster Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2. It is worth it and I believe EA hopefully sees it an acknowledges it. It's like old vintage movies -- classics -- that's being brushed up in HD. They do sell, because there are still those old enough to remember them -- and hopefully younger people who too will enjoy these old classics that paved the way for the modern games.

This should be sent to Blizzard as how a re-master SHOULD be done. (I know the Starcraft remaster was technically good, but it lacked the soul and love showing here.) Playing this again feels like I’ve time warped back to my early teens, when I’d volunteer to do house chores for my folks to get more time on the computer to play C&C, memories of which I’m appreciating even more than I normally would, with all that bad stuff in the world going on. I hope they release the new soundtrack to buy, as I’d be all over that in a hot minute! From having done a speed run of GDI/NOD campaigns, and being well into the Allies one, there are a few issues to be made aware of until they can be patched out. Deploying units out of any transport vehicles is rather janky, as double clicking is now also a command to select all units of type on screen. I found moving them to a tile, and then clicking the deploy command just before the unit comes to a stop as a workaround. When commanding groups of units, I’ve found sometimes not all units will attack, and just sit still, some need told a few times! I’ve also found units/static defences ignore hostile technicians/civilians, and need told manually to attack them. Also if you have a large group of units, if they can’t move to where you command and a wall or hostile building is in the way, they open fire on the obstacle, which I guess is the dev’s workaround to stop the player fencing in the AI, which is fine but it needs some tweaking, I’ve almost lost missions as my groups tried blasting buildings I had to capture! I was hoping they would stop the AI building anywhere on the map in single player, but it’s still done, which I’ve found as always really lame. Especially as so many missions you’ve to wipe everything out, then that gun turret hidden behind a tree almost walled off by rocks got re-built miles away from any other structure. Those niggles aside, this is absolutely fantastic work and I’m delighted to see this is topping the Steam sales charts this week, which is no mean feat. Hopefully this tells EA loud and clear there is still huge demand for C&C, and there’s no need to resort to horrible mobile games again. Let’s see the other titles remastered ahead of a brand new entry (or a very heavily redux version of that title of which we never speak about). Happy gaming commanders!

Despite GZH's QoL & other improvements, I've totally enjoyed the ~6 hours I've put into the remaster so far. ~ To new to CnC or RTS players, I say this is a game where the S still features-ie there is strategy involved, rather than most later RTSs which have been much more focused on tactics. ~ To EA, this is superb work, very well done on so many levels.

The AI selling their buildings at the end for a final attack is a feature so the game ends quicker. Otherwise you end up hunting down single riflemen all over the map. It's not consider a 'good strategic choice', just the method of surrender.

A Re-Mastered Tiberan Sun, Red Alert 2 or even Generals seems reasonable, if done in a similar low budget/ small team way. That would put less pressure on the team from management, which is good. BUT: Even though this project is well received by players, it´s not a big money maker for EA by any means. This was done, because it could be done cheap. A brand new game is a lot more expensive to make, easily 20fold. And the RTS-market is pretty niche today and just can´t support a buy-to-play game anymore. SO: If you want a brand new C&C Game, you better come up with a good business plan to pay for it. Something that pays for modern servers, patching, support, anti-botting, anti-cheat etc. Just as an example: Would you guys be OK with a season-pass (+store) system, where they keep releasing: - new story-missions - new multi player maps - unit skins
@drivanradosivic13574 жыл бұрын
if the unit skins are part of a new faction or subfaction, yes. New story missions are also good IF done as a "Season XYZ is minimum of 5 misssions" sort of deal. Mew Multiplayer maps are a given.

The only things I find in the remastered version frustrated is the tweaking in some missions, some of most annoying enemy's units (for example: GDI's grenadier, heroic harvesters which try to crush your infantries everytimes, stealth tanks spamming and so on), pathfinding. But looking all over of these failures, I still love this remastered version. The graphics, the sound, the voices of every characters, units, the difficulty of the challenges, all made this game the perfect nostalgic memory for my inner child.

My issue was how unfair some of the campaign missions in red alert 1 were. Like there was a mission as the allies and i had to capture a building. But there was also an Iron Curtain and a Nuke Silo, so i send a large force round the back of the Soviet base to destroy these buildings. I succeeded. Not 5 minutes later the AI sends a mammoth tank to my base that is protected by iron curtain and they drop a nuke still anyway. Like, neither of those buildings were on the map anymore and the AI got to use them anyway.

I didn't want to get my hopes up about this release and wasn't expecting to pick it up. Ended up buying it at launch and loving the entire package. My only real issues with the game are like your, with the original base game. Which is hard to hold against a remaster. But that soundtrack alone more than makes up for it.

The part you mentioned where the AI sells everything is a means to end a mission quicker in Red Alert. It's essentially a last ditch effort and also so you're not searching the map for that 1 unit that is hiding on the map like in Tiberium Dawn

Felt the same with the gameplay part. I can still recall the hype of playing TD 20 years ago. But I might drop the remaster very fast, because in gameplay and gaming contents, it sure ages and cant keep up with now. I love the way AOE2:DE did, but that's not a fair comparison to begin with. AOE2 has a lot more game depth and content to start with, so it's not hard for AOE2:DE to be more appealing to modern players. So if there will be C&C2 or RA2 remastered, I think that would be a fair match, and these two are also the big boi in the franchises. I hope the dev can execute well, to both keep the charm and core of the original game but also make more changes to update the game plays and feels better in modern standard.

Thank you for the blessing, Zade. Waking up to this review in the morning feels so good. I do hope they remaster the rest of the CnC games (NO TIBERIAN TWILIGHT) and continue the legacy. That said, I hope there are future updates to this game. 1. No Strings Prd. noticed in the first 30 minutes or so, there are stuttering. He said it disappeared when the files are transferred to SSD. Defo optimization issue. 2. I do really wish that they manage to find the original lost tapes of the FMV cutscenes. The remaster looks nice, but it could've been way better with the original tape. 3. Lobby Password feature ples. 4. Release the soundtrack album as a standalone product.

I was so psyched when this was announced, and that they were getting petroglyph, and Frank and all the good stuff they were doing... My only issue, is that it absolutely plays like a game that came out in 1995. While it looks nice (And yes, I know how much trouble they went through to get everything *just* right), a little modernization goes a long way. Attack Move, AI pathing, etc... All stuff you covered though. They did a lot of stuff right with the remaster though, and that honestly can't be argued.

There really is no better way to do a remaster; it really does feel like old times.

They did such a brilliant job with this. However, I just wish they would have fixed the pathfinding. That stuff, these days, is beyond enfuriating because instead of actually strategising you are forced to micro manage literally every unit as they pass a choke point or a bridge like an underpaid babysitter looking after 7 siblings fighting over a toy

I played it not too long ago, and my only genuine complaint are those horrid baseless missions, where you are given a set amount of troops and expected to take own an entire Nod army. As someone who is only _alright_ at RTS games, i find them *completely impossible* on normal, while completely impossible *to lose* on casual. Apart from that, the game definitely seems to have been left untouched by EA, 'cause its pure gold. PS: Retro graphics for the win!

My first RTS game was C&C 3. I loved C&C 3 and especially Kanes Wrath. They are smooth to play with great gameplay and solid design, with AI with isn't half bad. Since then I've played a shit ton of RTS games but I can't play games that are too rudimentary in their design. I was hoping they would take some modern features and pop them in this remaster. They didn't so I can't say I'm interested in it. Maybe if it goes on a major sale on steam in the future I'll take a look
