Command And Conquer: Red Alert 2 remaster on the horizon
- sheepscreek 3y agoBest HN post today. Generals was another hit.
- paulryanrogers 3y agoSounds like rumor. Heres hoping regardless. I bounced off RA2 and can't get into it as is.
- Arrath 3y agoIMHO, the peak of Command and Conquer. Would love to see it remastered.
- bikson 3y agoKirov reporting.
- m463 3y agoThe unit quips were hilarious, especially when they stuck in your head. They pop into your head at opportune times, like listening to politics and thinking "Nationalism will bring us victory!" "China will grow larger" (tank I think?) "I used to be professor" (russian engineer)
- decafninja 3y agoIsn’t that C&C Generals?
- m463 3y agoI remember years ago buying "command and conquer: the first decade"¹ and deciding to play the original command and conquer from old memories. Wow, it was like pixel vs pixel. Although fun, reality was very different from my rosy memories. It was like looking at an old 80's or 90's movie again and noticing "wow, the HAIR!"
- kylehotchkiss 3y agoOpenRA is a lot of fun but excited to see a fresh take from EA!
- antifa 3y agoReally looking forward to OpenRA2 and OpenDawnOfWar!
- richardjam73 3y ago"After the launch of the first C&C Remastered Collection," I read that to mean that the C&C Remastered Collection is of the first games (C&C 1 and Red Alert 1) not that it is the first Remastered Collection (Remastered Collection 1). Unfortunately this is just a rumour.
- vyrotek 3y agoDidn't expect to see this on HN. A lot of fans have been begging for a Red Alert 2 remaster for a long time. I repurchased it again on Steam recently mostly to signal demand!
- throwaway67743 3y agoIt's a shame that their inability to muster up generals 2 was the nail in the coffin for the franchise, now they're just trying to squeeze a bit more cash out of it by re releasing stuff. The sooner they let it die the better. Generals 2 had promise, with frostbite they could have even made it a hybrid game, micro manage units but eg commandos, tanks etc, if you've got a close fight then jump to first person etc. I would have loved that, c&c v battlefield. They'd probably break it though....
- wara23arish 3y agoOne of the biggest games in my childhood, often played in local lan network cafes. I also used to play the DUNE strategy game. I miss the age of RTS games. Nowadays the only game barely worth mentioning is Company of Heroes
- BuildTheRobots 3y ago> One of the biggest games in my childhood, often played in local lan network cafes. I think (from memory) it required IPX/SPX rather than TCP/IP for local network play - I remember that leading me down a rabbit-hole as a kid. TCP LAN play might have came in with the Yuri's Revenge addon. Highly recommend anyone who likes the game to check out the Mental Omega mod too - They've entirely written their own campaigns as well as balanced and updated multiplayer in some extreme ways.
- n8henrie 3y agoHave had a blast playing OpenRA Combined Arms over LAN with my son lately, brings back lots of memories!
- greatgib 3y agoI would prefer that they invest in creating a brand new "red alert 3" with the same spirit and vibe as the old ones. Instead of hoping to make money in old pots.
- paulryanrogers 3y agoWhat did you not like about the original Red Alert 3?
- greatgib 3y agoSorry what I meant was "Red Alert 4"
