Ah yeah, makes sense. I'd love to have a modern remaster of these though, with some QoL improvements!

Some of the games still look incredibly good with no need for remaster

Yeah for sure, I think Generals still looks fairly good, but no doubt it would look better after a remaster and some additional improvements for modern systems

Generals and Red Alert 2 deserve a remaster and I hope the source code release leads to something like that but honestly Tiberium Sun holds a special place in my heart.

Wouldn't suprise me if GenTool get on this and make their own version with lots of fixes (I'm looking at you, laser turret shooting me across the map)

I'm thinking/dreaming a monster of a map 64x or something and 20+ players....

Really hope someone fixes/take away the 30fps cap on SAGE Engine games without screwing up the other systems , would love to reply those games.

Also there was a SAGE engine reverse enginer effort i wonder if thouse peeps will be helping out/abandoning that project

I wonder if lossless scaling would sort that out?

It would/does but not ideal and has obv drawbacks even vs AI based frame gen, also would still like to see other stuff like ultra wide support, some decent forms of AA/AO etc.
