 Reveal Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iMfypQj3k0 Release Date: June 5th on Steam and Origin for $20USD  https://store.steampowered.com/app/1213210/Command__Conquer_Remastered_Collection/ https://i.imgur.com/p5jdSbA.mp4 Super high-res graphical comparison image Remastered or Remade? EA_Jimtern posted:This is a remaster. Our intention is to keep the story, script, and content as authentic as possible to the original games, while providing much higher fidelity with modern quality of life improvements. The game has updated HD graphical assets, AI upscaled cutscenes, quality of life improvements such as build queues, new sidebar layout (RA2 style menus) and modern control options, but it will function mostly the same as the games did back in 1995 and 1996. There is even a toggle to play the game in a legacy graphical setting or the new updated assets (campaign and skirmish only) The remasters have been developed by Petroglyph Games (Star Wars: Empire at War, Grey Goo) with Lemon Sky Studios providing many of the graphical assets. Petroglyph was created by a number of former Westwood staff after EA closed the studio down, so a number of original C&C creators are working on this project.   What is in the Collection? The Remastered Collection includes Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn (1995) and expansion pack The Covert Operations (1996) and Command & Conquer: Red Alert (1996) as well as the expansion packs Counterstrike (1997), and The Aftermath (1997). The remasters will also include the unique missions and cutsenes from the Playstation 1 version of the game, Red Alert: Retaliation (1998) Other additions include AI skirmish for Tiberian Dawn (not originally included in C&C95), re-recorded EVA by the original voice actress, replay and observer modes for online tournaments/e-sports, a map editor with steam workshop support, online leaderboards, custom game lobbies etc.
  Where is Red Alert 2 and Tiberian Sun? If this does well enough for EA maybe those will be re-mastered next. But they play a bit better on Windows 10 systems than the original games do, they also use a different engine so who knows if they'll be updated. Time will tell... sooner or later.  Community Involvement EA took the idea of remastering the original C&C games to the community, revealing the project in November 2018 with an announcement by Joe Bostic (co-founder of Westwood Studios) A community council was established to help provide internal feedback during development, while updates have been posted to the C&C reddit every few months for the past year providing feedback on development choices, such as which songs/tracks to remaster. Even the boxart was a fan design which was then comissioned by EA: quote:Now, some of you may recognize the box art adorning these physical versions, and also being used today in many of our storefront and website materials. As some of you know, this design was created following our announcement in 2018 by longtime C&C community member Pierre “Tchutch” Maindron from CnC Saga. When I first saw the design back then, I fell in love, and believed the design represented everything special about the community support for the project. So, a few months ago I reached out to Pierre, who I had known from our Community Summits over ten years ago, and asked if we could commission the design from him to be officially used for the project. Pierre was graciously supportive, and we are so humbled to have a community design be the key art and box cover for the Remastered Collection.

a glitch posted:Having never played Tiberian Dawn and only a bit of the Soviet campaign in Red Alert, I'm really looking forward to this! Do the campaigns in Tiberian Dawn have a suggested play order ala Starcraft or can I just go for whichever? Whichever order, but of course everybody picks the Nod campaigns because of the cooler logo when you're playing the game for the first time aged 7. The missions will follow on from eachother once a campaign has begun with cutscenes and briefings playing between missions, but the remastered version of the games has a new front-end/mission select menu so you can jump ahead, play the alternate versions of missions (when you have a multiple choice on the map screen) or the missions from expansion packs. You can see some of those images in the second post of the OP. We can only hope they adapt the original installer into the game somehow, that really set the tone of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cioyLQ2O6yc

Dandywalken posted:Has there been any word on modability for the remasters anyway? Map editors for both games, which might mean custom campaigns/missions too. No full modding at launch, but possibly in the future, this says to me "no modding until we decide to make and release RA2 and Tib Sun so the community don't beat us to them"

Durendal posted:Never got my Steam key, now I get to wait 3-5 days on Limited Run's support. Not that big of issue since the preload is 25GB and there is no way I would be able to download it anyways. Check your spam folder, mine was in there. If it hasn't been sent at all get in touch with limitedgames here: https://limitedrungames.freshdesk.com/ The pre-install is 18.1gb for reference. Fallom posted:Duh, and I forgot they pulled in cutscenes from the console versions and whatever else they could find in storage. 4 hours of b-roll footage alone (so other takes of the cutscene recording sessions etc) and some other bonus video.

Spookydonut posted:ouchies, why couldnt they use the same rendering they used for the installer for this The installer(s) were created from scratch by a fan, CCHyper who has been around the C&C community for yonks. It is a little disappointing they did a new worldmap for mission selections but didn't re-do the cinematics with maps. Ah well. Overall, after playing the first 5 GDI missions, this is good. I'm having some trouble connecting to MP games but I'm sure the servers are being hammered.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:I hate these dumbfuck suicidal civilians on GDI mission 8b Wait for the suicide bomber civilians with nukes in the Aftermath mission Grunyev Revolution. CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:My "Welcome Back, Commander" moment was mission 7 for the gdi. You start landing your units and then suddenly everything is dead because you got hit by the flame troopers from the east who killed all your infantry and now light tanks are coming from the north to clean up your light scouts. I think I failed that mission in like 10 seconds. I just finished the Delphi mission, I forgot how it started since I haven't played it in like 10 years and had to retry a few times to get off the beach on hard difficulty, the light tank kept running all my (ralp)naders over. drunkill fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Jun 6, 2020 |

Horizon Burning posted:One thing I've found interesting that went completely over my head as a kid is how apocalyptic the world is. A Nod mission just casually drops how 1/3 people in GDI areas has health issues due to Tiberium and people are worried it might damage DNA. I know TibSun went full apocalypse but I never saw how TibDawn laid the foundations in the way it did. Carter gets pretty sick over the course of the pre-mission briefings while Shepards is 'away on civvie duty' And then he's just gone, presumably dead after trying to sail down the river far too early for me to be ready and blow up the turrets. There is the almost throwaway CGI cutscene with the bodybags in the alleyway and a burning building saying that a few million have already died from tiberium poisoning, then later on Mobius is talking about how risky it is, only a few missions hafter spruiking it on the talk show. Shits bad, then it goes grimdark levels in Tiberian Sun, which had the best atmosphere of any of the C&C games.

So now we get to debate Dr Mobius again, after all these years. First he extols the virtues of Tiberium "The possibilities are limitless!" then he seems to be exposing townspeople to spores and tiberium infection in GDI mission 8B instead of GDI just evacuating the civilians from the area. Later in GDI Mission 12A you've got to evacuate Dr. Mobius from an under siege GDI base, he is standing outside a Hospital which is located next to a Prison... has Mobius been conducting human testing on the prison population? He does change his mind by then saying that Tiberium could be highly dangerous and have serious ramifications for the population of Earth. Dr. Ignatio Mobius, a madman furthering his own goals? Or just trying to unlock the secret of Tiberium and protect humanity? You decide!

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:- Is there a hotkey for multiple unit waypoints? Like a way to tell them Move to A, then move to B? Seems like this would be a way to work around ancient pathfinding. I have not tried it yet but here is a mod for new pathfinding in TibDawn only (at the moment) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2121899275 quote:This mod replaces the "crash and turn" pathfinding in Tiberian Dawn with a simple implementation of A*. Generally this means that your units wont get lost or stick to edges when moving around the map.

EdEddnEddy posted:They must have a possible Red Alert 2 Remaster in the works as a few of the songs are from that game and were never part of the original C&C/RA afaik. Though that game also I believe got a patch to allow widescreen and other options recently I believe so it doesn't really need it as much as the classics did. EA made a reddit post last year asking the community which songs should be remastered via a poll. And then you have other cnc music because the Tiberian Sons playlist was franchise wide, the setlist they performed at magfest which EA then got them into a recording studio to put then in the game. Once the physical copies ship I'm sure the music with correct filenames and song details will be uploaded, the whole soundtrack will be on a tiberium crystal USB stick.

I've seen some behind the scenes stuff for it over the last two years or so, looks neat, very cool unit designs updating the TS units like the Banshee and Wolverine. Sadly though the gameplay will be Renegade like, not really updated to the modern era, although a little different from the existing RenX gameplay. The art is fantastic though, so I'll look forward to playing it a bit. A real shame they didn't swap to UE4 though, it is all built on UE3 like RenX so it lacks a lot of graphical fidelity.

Slavik posted:Excellent. Looking forward to seeing what they produce. Renegade X is quite under-appreciated, including the work that continues to go into it since its first public release several years back. Reborn never really came out, there was the initial release which could wipe your hard drive when uninstalling. It was basic, infantry only plus a wolverine and a nod buggy iirc. RenAlert (later Red Alert: A Path Beyond) was its rival and more successful mod which had multiple releases over the years while reborn struggled for various reasons to put anything out. Then after internet flamewars, both mods became freidnly and reborn joined the APB forums and there was a push to get a stable build out in 2006. Infact, EA secured a few PCs and demospace at Gamescom to show off reborn and APB. I was involved at that time and helped make some posters and trailers for both projects. Then once again, forum wars and drama meant reborn just sat around without much development going on while APB churned out content release after content release for a few years and then the projects finished up. A couple of years later APB 'rebooted' with essentially a new devteam and had a few more minor releases over the years, still going today after yet another forumwar where the current devteam stole the forum database overnight while the admin was asleep and split the community up! And only just last month reborn had one of the 'creators' of the project threaten to sue the other people claiming he owned assets involved and wants control of the project again. Reborn continues to forever just be 6 months away from a release. The balance didn't really change form Renegade too much, mainly map design helped to differentiate it with larger maps and less choke points. APB had much larger maps and new mechanics and aircraft and naval units which really changed gameplay from Renegade. While Renegade X copied Renegade gameplay by about 90% so while it was cool, got a bit stale playing it 5 years ago with 2003 gameplay. Which is a pity this new release won't change things up again too much, a few of us wanted a TS project with a more battlefield feel of gameplay after working on APB for years and considering it finished, but life got in the way. Quite a few goons posting in this very thread worked on APB over they years, Chronojam being the leader of the project during its most successful years. Nichael posted:This exists. Poil posted:I loved that Renegade felt just like running around in first person C&C, too fancy graphics might ruin that feeling for me. But whatever. What I would like is the same but for Red Alert. Imagine shaking soviet bases apart with Tanya. Second game might be cool too. Maybe a serious and sophisticated mission where you ride around on a dolphin fighting a giant squid boss dodging the occasional dreadnought rocket. Here is the trailer I made... 14 bloody years ago to give to EA to show off at gamescom on a loop, goddamn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05cf2WPJ98w edit: and for comparison, the reborn trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVvhjuR_Elg and the little bit of footage shot by the reborn lead dev (at the time) at gamescom, I rmeember staying up til like 4am to fill out the servers running the demo so people there could play against people https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOSV1n6N00M drunkill fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Jun 20, 2020 |

Funcom bought the Dune game rights, given the new movie is out all the rights went up for sale again (might higher asking price now) and we're getting Dune boardgames very soon and at least 3 projects from Funcom. Funnily enough, with the Conan RTS game by Petroglyph last year, there might be another teamup with them for a Dune RTS at some stage... given they have some of the origian Dune II people still working there it would have come full circle. Except two of the games to be mobile/social media type of games though and who knows what the third will be, an RPG/action game possibly.
