Command & Conquer 4K remaster coming

Guest2 · 5 Jun 2020 at 19:38

Initial thoughts;

Loved the installer. Port 220, IRQ 5, DMA 1

Looks nice but how do you zoom out more, it still looks massive even when zoomed out as far as possible (in 3440 x 1440)
How do you select a waypoint for barracks and WF?
The multiplayer lobby is shocking. Didnt manage to connect to one online game after trying maybe 10 games

Wow. Can’t believe I’m playing this game again. Playing the soviet missions right now. It is perfect!

Tremendous fun. NOD are a bit overpowered but I love the whirr of a Tesla coil in the morning

Yes, @Guest2 that intro sequence was pretty funny.

I thought they might have got rid of all the old quirks like bad pathfinding, APCs not unloading, soldiers standing around doing nothing etc

Part of the fun but annoying when one of your Mammoth tanks decides it wants to sit between two enemy turrets while the rest sit out of range.

so which game are most people playing first
while Tiberian Dawn was great and i loved it... for me Red Alert is my all time fav and i jumped straight into that

game wont launch for me, first click of play it did the VC redist install crap. Then nothing and button went back to play again.
Now if I click play it briefly changes, nothing then back to play again.

What version? Worked perfect for me in Steam
I have multiple Visual C++ redistributions installed. Try this - https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/

This isn't C&C but somewhat similar for anyone that remembers it.

GoG are currently giving away Total Annihilation + 2 expansion packs for free which you can add here

nice didnt know about that add to my library...

hope TA is next on the remaster list... even supcom could do with one

i still have my original TA box, CD and manual wonder if its worth anything.. lol prob not

vc redist is fine, its the game.

ok thanks, I was wrong, I didnt have the 2017 VC, thanks. Steam should have put it on but didnt I guess.

Playing Tiberian Dawn first.....its glorious.

That installation process was absolutely fantastic!

The graphics are fantastic and flicking between them so easily is amazing. I love it. I can only imagine how good RA will be.

I had to start with the Brotherhood.

Anyone else got a bug with units staying highlighted in this once deselected?

elh_2009 · 5 Jun 2020 at 20:15

Just done a few missions, love it, just what i wanted the exact same game with better GFX and audio

@Sem i am playing the original GDI missions, starting from the beginning.

yea they really should have at least made more animations and gameplay depth, soon as the nostalgia wears off you're done

What even are these posts? LMAO

go into options and change the selection from modern to classic if you dont want that, i noticed that as well.

From watching streams there appears to be quite a few bugs. I've seen nothing game breaking yet though.

Multiplayer seems disappointing tbh. No Fog of War, and base walking still there, so i'll not be getting this for multiplayer whatsoever. However, everything looks pretty, and sounds are awesome. I do feel that they could have done with global score boards for missions, that would have been a nice touch.

Any of you have a Linux partition and wanna just hop over and confirm it works in Proton before I drop my money on it?

I do. I will download it overnight and try tomorrow. I can't right now because it would wreck my sons Fortnite ping.

These are the sort of people who wish Lucas had changed even more things in the updated releases of Star Wars

Yeah this was my worry, just think, I've played all this many times over. Glad I passed

To be fair this was my thinking, having played both games to death playing them again with better graphics might just be a disappointment.

some difference in the new graphics to the old, anyone know is there a way to view the mini map, can be a bit confusing on where you are on the level, im on command and conquer NOD mission 2, havent tried red alert yet
