Command & Conquer Remastered

[Yunru]

As much as I like Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert 1 i'm looking forward to Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 the most. Tiberian Sun had some pathing issues because the game came out to early, this could be something they can fix. I do wonder how a Red Alert 2 remaster would look like considering that the game aged quite well because of its colorful graphics.

And I wonder if they will consider a remastered Renegade aswell. This was Westwoods take on an unique strategical shooter game with RTS elements which also had a campaign. There aren't many games like this where your team has their own base, and whenever a building gets destroyed they lose whatever the building was offered. If the barracks was destroyed you could no longer buy better characters, if the war factory is destroyed you can no longer buy vehicles, if the refinery gets destroyed you will lose a lot of income etc. Renegade X is a very solid and quite faithful mod for this game, but I would love to see a proper remaster from the C&C team aswell.

Old westwood team does work on a new version of renegade. (just under a different name)
But i dont have high hopes...as even modded version was kinda forgoten.

Petroglyph Games meh version:

Yeah... I need this

[Naiattavain]

man i miss command and conquer generals lol that game was so fun to play.

[endersblade]

Oh lordy lord.

Never thought I'd pay $150 + $50 shipping for a 25 year old game.

Which I already own twice.

OH MY FUCKING GOD, I want that Mammoth!

Nothing but an excuse because they got lazy/cut the prices.
They have never listened before, but suddenly they listen now and it's when some players ask them to cut 90% of a project??

You are kinda right? Only thing i looked forward to with Reforged was a changed campaign, but then they cut that. Except...not completely. Only thing i can guess is that they wanted to do more, then got told that it wasn't in their budget/didn't have the time so they rolled back. It is weird how some missions are changed (Dalaran, Silvermoon, etc.) but they couldn't do them all.

On topic though, i am super hyped to buy this. Cinematics look kinda blurry but i guess you can only do so much with that old ass footage. The music will end up on my phone as well by far.

This should be relevant to your interests.



TLDW: They tried extremely hard to locate the original tapes but sadly could not. So instead they've had to upscale the shitty digital copies. Community helped a ton. I recommend watching the video though, it's quite the rollercoaster of a journey.

Is this a necro?
Don't care, in a few hours we'll be back at farming Tiberium.
Who's excited?

Will they update the live action acting too? best part imo though think that would ruin it better to keep the old acting.

The FMVs have been upscaled. That's all they've done to them.

Very nice they they didnt destroy the old source material and a employee stored them away even though they can only do so much with it today as it seems the originals with higher fidelity was lost, pretty big difference still compared to the old ones.

Was totaly prepared for them to be as the old days so im very happy about that and that video was interesting to watch.

Loved how happy he was looking threw all the tapes too

[ParanoiD84]

Hell yeah man that Hell March tune is just too good getting you all pumped.

[DesoPL]

Now i'm waiting for remastered Red Alert 2 and Tiberium Sun.

[Yunru]

Ai pathfinding is still bad

Had my harvesters pass enemy base like its nothing.

[hambone2626]

the music alone is what made cc so awesome

[McNeil]

This remaster has been everything that I hoped for. The graphics look a lot better, the game runs very smooth, I love the music even more than I already did, and the game feels very faithful to the original despite having so many improvements. I do think they could have made some more improvements like the AI pathfinding which is still bad. Also I wish that they improved the FMV/3D cutscenes aswell, which are still the originals and look very dated. The mission cutscenes are nicely improved though. I also notice that after not having played the first C&C game in quite some time, that its actually a lot more cheesier than I remembered while I always thought that it was a rather serious game. Not as silly as the Red Alert games where even I as a child noticed just how silly it was. Honesty the 90's as a whole had a lot of this kind of silly stuff and I do kinda miss it, you can definately feel like it was a whole different era for gaming.

Overall very satisfied with both remasters. I'd rate it a solid 9/10, its a good example of how well a remaster should be done (not like WC3:R... goddamnit Blizz). Now I really hope that they get to Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 aswell.

I got the C&C Remastered as a birthday present and am really enjoying it. Got a small heart attack after installing everything, launching my first skirmish and seeing the crazy pixelated view since it takes a couple of seconds for the space bar upgrade info to appear.

Seeing this high quality and effort remaster really got my hopes up for a possible Tiberian Sun remaster, as imo it is the best game of the franchise (or maybe on par with Zero Hour).

Having played a lot of Renegade X I would also love a renegade remaster just to be able to play the campaign again, those were some fun times.

This is the remaster we wanted for WC3:Reforged, and shame on Blizz for doing worse than EA.

It is everything that was promised:
Graphic has been updated, but with the push of one button you can always switch back to the old version.
The UI has been updated, who wants can use the classic left mouse button-style or the more modern one with building queues.
The videos have been upgraded up until 4k, but since they could not get the original tapes some look better than others.
A new mission selection menu allows you to redo every mission and its variants on any of three difficulty modes.
The small intros and outros for the missions can be rewatched in this menu-
The hidden missions have to be activated in the main menu of every game, either clicking on all 4 bolts in C&C or holding the left shift key and left-cklicking on the speaker in RA.
All mission packs are included, even the console exclusive ones.
The soundtrack is pure awesame-sauce, and you can make your very own playlists.
They did some bug-fixing, balancing, and QoL updates, but the AI is still as smart as stale old bread.
There is a gallery for all the extra-videos, pictures, outtakes that you get for beating the missions.
Steam achievements are nice to have, but no must for me.

The 3 difficulty grades are casual, normal and hard.
Casual makes your units cheaper, tougher and harder-hitting.
Normal is ... normal.
Hard is the opposite of casual, except your units are not more expensive. Since now a light tank is a serious thread to a russian heavy tank, let alone an allied medium tank beats it you are constantly forced to check on your troops and reposition them or repair them. Personally i find it more tedious since you have to micromanage your units more, but that is not what i would call hard. Your mileage may vary.

Since C&C 1 was the first game i got for PC it holds a very special place in my heart, so this brilliant remake makes me very, very happy.
