Nice pun xD

IIRC the lead dev on openra said they won't be using the new images from the remaster. Is that what you meant?
I seem to recall that he also said that something along the lines the single player base for openra was rather big, versus pvp. So the remaster will be taking and keeping many single player players i expect.
But the timing is not fully in favour of the remaster, as openra has Shattered Paradise, Tiberium Sun coming very close to multiplayer testing, and an RA2 mod called Romanov's Vengence.

Yeh, that's what I meant. I checked the OpenRA forum and couldnt find anything even mentioned of the remaster. Maybe peolpe don't like talking about it

I have Origin for C&C Ultimate Collection, that it. I even removed it because I had the Origin GUI for some reason.

Yup, 6pm Friday UK time. Countdown on that page.

Guess I will have to wait all day tomorrow. Will play some other games to pass the time

Seems a nice clean release as well, no pre order exclusivity, no store exclusivity, premium editions is physical goodies.

Does Kane not age, it's been 25 years man.
What tiberium enriched face cream is he using.

Hoping it does well so they do some more remasters or even a new game.

Dammit, it's not yet unlocked. I preloaded it and hoped it would work after midnight. But nope. Gonna have to wait a few hours

YoungBlood · 5 Jun 2020 at 00:15

Yeah 6PM is a bit sucky, but we waited 25 years, a few more hours won't kill us.
Just hope it has ultra-wide support. At least for single player.

LOVED RA2 back in the day.

6pm? Wait, what... I booked the afternoon off work to play it **

** I was owed a day in lieu so this seemed the best day, it's not a big deal.

Can't wait to play this. Each unit seems precious in C&C

Noxia · 5 Jun 2020 at 08:33

I woke up today with a sense of excitement I've not felt for years for a game.

Same!

And if this eventually leads to a Generals 2 or a new modern RTS in the classic C&C mould I will be over the moon.

How is this going to be installed? Will it be a games installer like old times or with something like steam?

I liked Generals a lot personally, and didn't mind C&C3 too much. That's when the series ended though.

YoungBlood · 5 Jun 2020 at 09:40

Did'nt know I still had this old gem of my Youth, GDI disc is missing though, oh no!

Not many games since have had such a profound impact, panzer dragoon saga broke me as child also.
Damn the Saturn was godly.
Ah simpler times

I really enjoyed Generals Zero Hour. Lots of LAN games with friends in my youth. I'd happily play it now if it wasn't for the lack zoom (I was spoiled by Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance) and some of the poor AI causing slow down.

Sargatanas2511 · 5 Jun 2020 at 09:50

I started on the Playstation so I know what you mean. I loved the game and remember waking up really early in the morning a few times just to play it.

I haven't been this hyped about any remaster yet!

The zoom out is actually really easy to fix. I have been playing it a bit myself and sorted it out.

Pumped for this. The original C&C was the game that finally persuaded me to switch from my trusty Amiga to a PC, back in 1995. Good old Gateway machine with a P75 processor I recall!
