Nope, f them. They screwed Westwood, and it still pains me. Not going to forgive them now.

A great start - now only if it included tiberian sun :D

Yeah a great thing to point out. Mechnically and faction wise it is not that interesting - Tiberian sun though is awesome with nod and GDI being so different and the art also being so distinct.
So flawed, but so much fun.

And it had some pretty damn interesting ideas and visual themes. Too bad about the awful engine.

Oh man I'm so in. I love C&C. Not just for nostalgia's sake, but also because C&C just scratches that huge battalion power trip itch that other RTS series haven't been able to scratch.

Fond memories of online dialup matches lagging to shit when my fleet of medium tanks in RA1 are on the move.

Yeah you show them
The best way to honour westwood is to deny a project that brings back many of their devs. EA isnt giving them any of my money!!!! I'm a true westwood fan and i will never forget!!!

The RTS genre basically collapsed on itself so I'm not sure if Westwood would even be doing them in the scenario where they still existed.

Someone really needs to take the Frostbite engine and make an FPS/RTS hybrid.

I..........still need to play this but absolutely could get behind this based on gameplay I've seen.

Red Alert campaigns for both 1 and 2 are amazing with super interesting characters. I love the soviet campaigns in RA2 Yuri revenge.

I'm baffled that anyone would even think that there'd be micro-trans in these.

...the world we live in...

Regarding the announce: WOOT!

That's some freaking unexpected good news.

( I won't lie, RA2 and Tiberian Sun would have been better news )

I can't wait to see pricing for this.

I am really really excited for this, I still play classic C&C now via OpenRA

It's good that we're getting RA, because c&c1 is pretty bad...

I wish they did Tiberian Sun instead.

C&C is not "pretty bad." When it came out, it was mind blowing. Also, I'd love to see Tiberian Sun but I don't want to get too greedy.

Also, can we get a
The Neverhood
remaster now?

Holy shit. I assume this is Origin exclusive? Might just be the first time I buy a game for full price on that platform.

Let us see how they will fuck this one up ...

I mean it's EA we're talking about here ... And EA never really botches the game itself per se (although lately even that is starting to happen) but it's some surrounding dumb executive decision that sours the soup for everybody .

So sorry not sorry old timers but your presence while appreciated doesn't address the elephant in the room.

Sooo what's the catch this time around EA ?

If only there was a game centric event where people would have been absolutely thrilled to hear this announced instead of a shitty mobile game.


(I will get this.)

Please, PLEASE bring this to consoles!

Yeah yeah RTS meant for PC and all that. But believe it or not I'm not a PC gamer never have been and I have HUGE nostalgia for Red Alert. Absolutely adored Red Alert on PlayStation. I'd kill to be able to play it again on a modern console.

By the way the soundtrack was SO FUCKING GOOD!

Hell yes! Outside of AoE, most of my junior high/high school years were playing those two along with Red Alert 2 later on and I haven't really played any RTS's since.

I feel that kb&m support on consoles is under-advertised to a fault. Perhaps that'll change now that Microsoft is making something of a big deal about it.

Edit: Oh, wait, come to think of it, controller support has to be a certification requirement. I wouldn't go so far as to say hopesdeleted.gif, but definitely hopesdiminshed.gif.

No videos or at least pictures?

I am happy to get more C&C even if it they are "just" a remasters but I remain a little bit skeptical until I see and hear more.

I wouldn't mind if they tweak it a little bit and implement a few quality of life improvements.

It's kind of weird that they did a full 3D remake of C&C to the Nintendo 64 and that never made it to PC in any form.

Didn't they release the original games for free a couple years back? Wonder if there are any links that are still good to it. Would love to play them on my retro machine I just setup.

Everything up to Tiberian Sun is officially and legally available for free, although EA is no longer hosting the downloads. They stopped releasing the C&Cs for free once Origin happened. We were so close to RA2 and Renegade going free, damnit!

C&C didn't turn out as we originally envisioned. I had initially designed the game to be set in a fantasy world with three factions -- humans, wizards, magical beasts. Some months into development, Brett Sperry decided to redirect the game toward modern military for two main reasons. The gulf war was in the news so this was more relatable to gamers at the time, and also because we believed fantasy was too niche. I saw this new direction for C&C as being closer to turning my childhood experiences of playing with plastic soldiers in a sandbox into "reality" so to speak. Thus Command & Conquer Tiberian Dawn was born.

Heh, who knew that C&C would have been fantasy themed? The WarCraft comparisons would have been inevitable had they not gone modern military.

Hopefully these guys at Petrogylph would talk more on the original development of these games, now that they are going to work on the remasters.

How did Endwar play with a controller?
