In exactly 17 days, Command & Conquer is coming back in all its glory. The first two games are important historically, and they are beloved by many. The people at EA and Petroglyph seem to have done a fantastic job remastering them, and I could not be any more excited to finally play them again.
I'd like people to use this thread to discuss anything related to their experiences with these two games and the franchise in general.
As for myself, I have played this series from its first installment. I played C&C1 and Red Alert 1 on the Playstation back in the day, as my family did not have a PC at the time. It didn't matter that the games were super low resolution or that the framerate went down to 1 during long skirmishes (yes, literally 1 frame per second after hours of playing a skirmish mission in Red Alert!). I loved the games still, and I would stick with the franchise until pretty much Red Alert 3. Needless to say, I have a lot of nostalgia for it.
I truly wish that this remastered collection will somehow spark the franchise alive again. I'd love nothing more than new C&C games that offer classic base building and infantry spamming. I really like Starcraft and Age of Empires, but C&C has a distinctive identity and feel to it that just isn't found anywhere else. I miss that.
Regardless of what happens in the future, I know I will be playing C&C Remastered Collection from day 1, and I'll be playing it for a while. I doubt I'll stop until I've unlocked everything it has to offer. I really want to see the behind-the-scenes videos.
What about you?
Cheers
