In a shit year in general, we at least got many great games to help us cope. Amid all of the other high-profilers such as FF7 Remake and The Last of Us 2, let us not forget the amazing Command & Conquer Remastered Collection from EA. The wizards at Petroglyph and Lemon Sky Studios lavishly remade two absolute classics with so much love.
Like it's actually insane how these two games were brought back. Game logic intact, remade UI, completely remastered soundtracks with bonus tracks, a jukebox that allows players to select à la carte any track that they went to listen to while they play, a much-desired mission selection menu and some fan-brainstormed balance changes for the multiplayer.
And that's not even the most impressive part. No, the most impressive part is that EA, motherfucking EA, of all companies, released the source code for both games as open-source. This is fucking wild and deserves so much commendation from everyone. The result of this is that the mod community for this franchise is more active than ever.
As a massive fan of the Command & Conquer franchise, I want to thank everyone who was involved in making this collection a reality. Thank you so, so fucking much. I cannot stress how much I love this franchise, and how it meant to me growing up. When I booted C&C Tiberian Dawn back in June, and was met with the install sequence, lavishly recreated by long-time C&C community member HyperCC, I started crying. That's how much this meant to me.
The collection is only 20$ on Steam. I hugely recommend everyone to give it a shot. Put it in your wishlist for the Holiday Steam sale. You will enjoy it.
And now, after all this, we all know what must be done:
