Command & Conquer remasters in the works

[eola]

Sooo many hours of fun with C&C series, remaster would be awesome.....but EA
If you didnt experience C&C and company of heros when they came out, you missed out on some classic pc gaming.

It was looking interesting till I read the

EA is bringing the C&C franchise back to the PC

so I think I will forget it.

Generals & Zero Hour were pretty good considering it was EA.

I don't have much faith, but will just wait.

 

[Kreeeee]

Generals killed the franchise for me. It was a decent rts with the c&c name tacked on for sales, it missed everything that made c&c great.

If they really knock it out the park I might pirate it.

Just bring back the 2D style maps for me that was the best, up the graphics that would be awesome

Generals & Zero Hour were pretty good considering it was EA.

At that time it was in name only for the most part. Generals was nearly entirely still all westwood staff.

Red alert 2, blinking brilliant.

I remember reading a review of RA2, it said something along the lines of "You can mind control a cow. Then strap dynamite to the cow. Then send it to the enemy base to blow up".

Cool, I can't wait to pay $6 for unit packs!

My favourites were the first command and conquer and red alert on ps1, red alert 2 and Yuri revenge on pc and my favourite of all was kanes wrath on xbox 360, I played many hours on it.

Red alert 3 was a bit of a downgrade from kanes wrath IMO and was a bit of bad port on console so I never got into it and I didn't have pc at the time.

I have number 4 on pc and it's kind of fun but it's not really old school cnc and the zoomed in view is horrible with no option to zoom out.

Would love a new Yuri revenge!!

Generals Zero Hour and RA2 were my favourites, never played much of the earlier ones besides Tiberium Sun.

Well they've owned the franchise for near 20 years now, who else did you think was going to bring it back?

It will be in testing to see what they do with the remasters. One of the things that made C&C great was the deliberately bad acting in the cut scenes etc. Trying to replicate that charm will be difficult because I don’t think will have aged very well for a modern audience.

I think they lack a bit of depth now compared to more modern titles like CoH, star craft, dawn of war. There is another series I am forgetting, I’ll post it when I remember.

Edit: TS, RA2 and generals were my favs.

milking a dead horse. very sad.

Is this just touching up visuals & sound or gameplay changes too?
OpenRA is currently the only game i’m playing, an excellent version of C&C Redalert with good lobby and improved visuals. Its freeware too

I will check this out, thanks

 

[Glanza]

If they purely make it a HD rework and keep everything as it was can see this doing well as RTS lately have all started moving into Moba territory looking at you Dawn of War

If they start trying to double dip with micro transactions it'll be dead in the water.

 

[adam cool dude]

RA2 was my first proper online multiplayer game as it could be played with 56K. I put many an hour into it. 3v3 on Yuri's revenge could last hours! Not sure if todays instant gratification kids could handle that.

 

[AHarvey]

I still play generals zero hour now but RA2 was by far the best, Yuri's revenge too.

 

[linktoinsanity]

I still play the CNCNet version of Red Alert. Free just like OpenRA but closer to the original version.

I also still play C&C3 and RA2 from time to time. Occasionally Dawn of the Tiberium Age (a mod for Tiberium Sun which brings the factions from the first two games together on the TS Engine).
