Limited Run has started issuing the Steam keys for the remaster. They say to wait until June 1st before emailing support if you haven't received yours.LLJKSiLk posted:Question: Will they eventually remaster all of them? RA2 is practically a national treasure so I think it'd be foolish of them not to. I'd be surprised if they haven't already put some effort into scoping the work. Officially, all they've said is they won't rule it out. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 17:03 on May 28, 2020 |

They just posted the source code today: https://github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Remastered_Collection 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. I was shocked it was 25GB. Is every little unit built in 4k!?

Yo this is even better than I expected, and I was super hypedMMF Freeway posted:Seems good on this front btw. The FMV up-scaling looks a little wonky but that's to be expected I guess Yeah the FMV looks janky in certain scenes but the comparison videos really show off how awful the source material was. IIRC somebody used the same AI technique to upscale RA2 videos and it looks a lot better there, probably because they weren't so low-res from the beginning.

drunkill posted:Also, big tip: Wait I thought they weren't going to add this in? Edit: Ok, this is just the Guard mode that was in the original game. Your units will move to the location you pick and be more aggressive about attacking enemy units around it once they're there, but they won't stop and engage stuff on the way.

VALIS666 posted:There are some things that take adjustment just because the game is so old (I think your troops have an awareness level of either "an enemy is right in front of me" or "an enemy is shooting me"), Put them in guard mode where they are with G or Ctrl + Alt + Left Click at their destination and they’ll act more like you expect.

It's funny seeing people get reminded of how difficult C&C was back in the day. The missions where you just straight-up get a base to build up are the easy ones - everything else is kind of a murderously difficult puzzle.

People already started working on fixing the harvester AI before the game came out. I expect we'll probably see a lot of overhaul mods start popping up within the next couple of weeks. Not sure if the devs have a plan to allow mods in multiplayer at some point.

Sheen Sheen posted:Is there a way to keep units in formation so the fast units don’t speed ahead of the slow ones and get massacred before my tanks can get there, or did this game predate that kind of option? Only in RA. Check the hotkeys, but it should be F when you select a group of units.

axeil posted:I booted up Tiberian Sun last night (from The First Decade) and holy crap its borderline unplayable. Every unit looks like an ant and it's impossible to tell what's going on. If you're using the cncnet loader or ddraw.dll replacements make sure you play it in something like 1280x720 Scaling up to 1920x1080 or greater makes things too tiny for me

Mordja posted:I still haven't played with that yet because I think it might end up conflicting with my zoom mod? How much of a difference does the pathfinding itself make? It’s still not fantastic but you do have to babysit your units a lot less. The harvesters are also smarter about how they queue up for drop offs. They’ll still get hung up on bridges, though. All mods conflict because you can only run one .dll at a time. Check for mod compilations. People are just cramming everything into mega mods and the more clever ones are adding .ini files that let you turn off the mods you don’t want.

Sheen Sheen posted:I didn’t play either of those—since the remasters have me on an RTS kick maybe I should try them out. I also still own RA3 through Origin; I should probably get around to finally playing that too. I seem to recall Petroglyph made a Star Wars RTS a while back—how does that one hold up? Kharak is an awesome, if short, playthrough and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a recent-ish RTS. I thought Grey Goo was well-produced but felt pretty miserable to play. RA3 is definitely worth a playthrough, and so is Star Wars: Empire at War. I'll throw Battlestar Galactica Deadlock out there, too. The strategy layer is pretty simplistic but the gameplay is a ton of fun.

Just buy the game on Origin and download the ISOs somewhere. I have like three retail copies lying around and licenses on Steam and Origin so I feel no shame.

It is pretty funny when you micro a few infantry well enough to take out some of an opponent's tanks but it takes so much concentration that you'll probably get owned somewhere else while doing it

C&C multiplayer is only remotely balanced through gentleman's agreements. God help you if you encounter an opponent who knows "the meta" because they will 100% be doing poo poo like selling their conyard immediately to rush you and quitting if it doesn't work.

This is becoming my favorite QOL mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2121899275 quote:**Every feature can be toggled in the INI file.** The tiberium growth is probably the only thing that truly unbalances the game but it's set to standard growth by default.

Has anyone here played Twisted Insurrection? I'm enticed by the seemingly well-produced campaign but I'll lose interest if it's going to hammer my balls like Mental Omega's.

No wonder he's getting kinda pissed at you after a while: He tells you to go to point A, you go to point B, and Kane still loves your work! I also love that there are identical missions set in both Ukraine and Germany

Eregos posted:Thanks. I'll give those a try. The only renderer that works properly on Windows 10 (including windowd/borderless modes) is the cnc-ddraw one here: https://github.com/CnCNet/cnc-ddraw/releases. You can just drop it in to the installation folder to use it. The TS, RA2, etc. launchers all make this part really confusing because they offer a bunch of options with no explanation but the intent is to maximize compatibility on various systems. Twisted Insurrection is the first one I've seen that comes with the cnc-ddraw dll
