- Thread starter --R
- Start date
That feature list is like, a fucking pitch perfect, can't do a remaster better, fucking shining example of mouth watering gaming goodness!
Brings a tear to my eye to see this much love and care to an all time classic franchise.
Is this the start of the EA redemption story?

Never mind. they are EA games, why did I thought C&C was Blizzard?
I can not for the life of me understand how recommended specs for this would be a 4690k cpu or that it would even require a dgpu.
I might not buy it day one but I will get it for sure down the road. I hope this does well enough to warrant the treatment of tib sun and RA 2 remakes which would be an insta buy for me I have more nostalgia for RA2 then any other C&C game.
I mean, there's a C&C game that would be fitting for a DICE remake...
I'll remember this post...
Yup I preordered the $150 monster pack, you can't just throw together a C&C Special Edition with a model of my favourite RTS tank (GDI Mammoth) and not expect me to bite... ;3
All those features and a reasonable Steam price. I'm impressed EA...
No regional pricing in our region (and many others) lol, easy skip.
EA should seriously fuck off with their new regional pricing.
Goddamn shame since this is a classic.
EA is buying a lot of goodwill with this. I don't really preorder as there's no need but i'm very tempted. Will most likely buy.
These games were my childhood.
I remember playing the first C&C on a 25mhz pc. It ran like ASS but damn did I love it. Super excited to jump back in. Looks like a great remaster.

I had no idea they were bundling the C&C and Red Alert remasters together! I didn't even realize that Red Alert was just as far along - I always figured it would come after!
What an awesome surprise to see both coming in just a few months.

I'm very excited and I really hope they remaster Tiberium Sun and RA2 next.
However...oof, that cinematic look like dog shit. Looks like they've just filtered it with maximum smoothing. The faces are just a blur.
this is just for the cinematic that didn't have console versions right? I think the others look much better than this
Pretty sure the PSX version of RA1 isn't noticeably better. It has slightly better resolution because of the 4:3 aspect ratio but worse colors. A real shame they lost the source videos.
At least they can't screw up Einstein's cutscene much.
I'm pretty sure the PS1 videos looked slightly better overall. I'm going to compare the two using stills from youtube videos which probably isn't the greatest idea for objective metrics, but it's what I have to work with.

PS1 FMVs:
PC video has some very heavy handed compression as you can see from the amount of quantization on the wood wall, and this is something I'm pretty sure I remember noticing back then as well. Westwood had to write their own video encoding and playback software for the lowest common denominator home computer CD readers at the time which were not as efficient as the PS1's innate hardware support for video.

Developer explaining in depth why they are like that was great, couldn't find original....

This all of this !
Amazing seriously and the fact that they put community front and center is sooooooooo goooood seriously that made me smile so so so much and this is 100% the first game I will buy from EA since mass effect 2.
They covered this in a longer video.
The short answer is:
The raw tapes they had are garbage quality now and unusable.
They've found a lot of other footage since then, which is why the game includes so much bonus content.
But they're using the PS1 videos for as much as they can, since that's the highest res they found, and using a scant few PC ones for the rest.
PS1 was mpeg, so it's easier to work with. The PC one is a custom thing, making it harder to deal with.
They said the need to use the PS1 videos is also why they were able to add the PS1 exclusive missions, because they had everything else with it.
So this is their attempt at using AI neural networks to upscale potato quality video to 4K.
PS1 is too yellow in my opinion, but yeah, with PS1 you can do a lot more. I don't envy the people who have to touch up the cinematics though.I'm pretty sure the PS1 videos looked slightly better overall.

Damn. This looks so good. You can clearly tell that there was boat loads of passion that went into this project.
