alright assuming you dont work for ea i'll bite
i boought these for $1.99 on the EA store instead of $19.99 on steam
and i feel GUILTY about it because this is worth at least $50
it's the best remaster i've ever played
both c&c1 and c&c:ra are fantastic
the new music / remixed music is amazing
they got the original guy to do it
all the extras you can unlock, like the earlier takes / blooper reels for some of the fmv are absolutely delightful
the graphics are tasteful and soulful, instead of most remasters that look like shit and lose the visual appeal, the C&C remasters look "how i remember the old game looking" and being able to swap to the old graphics is really nice
it's definitely worth playing these and picking them up.
the only thing that might give you trouble is they changed/tweaked the airstrike AI in the nod campaign so a couple missions can be pretty tough
All good
Except c&c4. C&c3 and ra3 are generals reskins anyway trying to ape starcraft
1 is good
Red Alert is ok
Tiberian Sun is trash and Westwood/EA's 2nd lowest rated game only behind Sole Survivor (C&C 1 online-only battle royale that came out in 1997)
Red Alert 2 is good
C&C Generals is top tier
everything else in the franchise is ass
then everyone gave up on the C&C/Red Alert games when Generals 2 was supposed to be a shitty mobile game
>C&C Generals is top tier
Opinion discarded
just admit that you got filtered by The Tigress lol
Quite the contrary
Your mom was filtered by my wiener
This picture is beyond moronic, don't listen to this anon.
>Tiberian Sun is trash
Is this an accepted opinion now?
I've been saying it since release but people always accused me of being too casual.
its been the opinion always, but in recent years zoomers trying to pretend to be millennials have started worshipping TS out of nowhere for some fricking reason
I always liked it, shut the frick up homosexual.
Still upset they somehow towned down the otherworldly feel in C&C3 despite it having fricking aliens.
It's not that good, but I don't think it's "trash". Considering only the single-player, I think it's a better game than C&C1 (although it has better cinematics) and RA1. Depending on taste in music, C&C1/RA1 have better music though.
The missions are more diverse in terms of objective and scripting in TS, the atmosphere and graphics excellent, the neutral units and mutants make the maps more interesting than just "us vs. them" unit placing with pointless civilians, and the units are varied in form and function. TS has a random map generator, so you have diversity in skirmish environments.
I replayed C&C1 a couple years ago and enjoyed it for the most part, but the shallow gameplay and story were very apparent. RA1 seemed like a big step back balance-wise and I didn't even end up finishing it; they made tanks fast as frick and I couldn't really see the point of making any other unit.
Why do people hate TS so much?
>Why do people hate TS so much?
Big departure in ton e and visual style with a noticeably different gameplay feel.
It's why I wasn't a big fan of it back then at least.
The gameplay felt very similar to me, but that's subjective. I agree that the tone feels very different, which is a little strange because C&C1 is also fairly campy/goofy and features a semi-apocalyptic setting. I think the music and brightness levels make a huge change; I'd be curious to see how TS feels with amped-up music and brighter tilesets/lighting.
Looking back, it's strange that the tiberium thing doesn't really go anywhere. I doubt they were planning on a sequel with high confidence, so the game just sort of ends with "anyway, the bad guy is defeated. Oh, the strange alien presence killing everyone and terraforming the planet? That we've been highlighting and developing this whole time? Nah, that's just setting fluff, don't worry about it. Game over, you won!".
The Nod briefings show that they are more knowledgeable about tiberium, and it's fun to compare/contrast that big report video between the two campaigns, but that difference doesn't really manifest in any interesting way story-wise. The whole purpose and structure of Nod is underwhelmingly vague when you play through it, whereas the GDI relationship with the UN and its member nations actually plays a role in the plot and even level design.
I think the shallowness of the C&C games is part of why I prefer Blizzard RTS games. It doesn't always show up in meaningful ways, but in the latter, you can usually tell that they did some work to design their setting and geography, establish factions with histories and goals, characters with motivations, etc.
TS was full of ideas that sound fun on paper but are terribly unfun in practice
>Is this an accepted opinion now?
I've always thought Tiberian Sun was a mix of really good ideas, some decent execution, and some poor design decisions. It's probably the hardest C&C for me to personally rate as good or bad, since for every bad aspect of the game I can also find excellent points as well. But in any case I do like it overall, and I always have fun playing TS.
HIgh-level Tiberian Sun multiplayer is very interesting to me though, as someone who only ever plays TS casually. It's very different from RA1, RA2 or C&C3. It's such a weird beast.
I like the original artillery sounds better. Before it was a bang with some punch, now it sounds like a pop.
The sound was a major missed opportunity, yeah. It should be well-recognized throughout the gaming industry by now that the Big Guns have to sound punchy. An anemic shotgun or something destroys the gaming experience.
I didn't even play C&C3 and thought that was a neat watch. Clever solutions and very iffy level scripting.
yeah i agree
i'm the anon that was shitting on it earlier
at the time of release it got really bad reviews mostly cuz it ran like shit even on the fastest PCs at the time.
other complains were the artstyle looking fricked and destructible terrain being shitty because one attack on your base meant you couldnt rebuild anything.
it had some cool ideas though and the lighting/color was nice.
>Supreme Commander FA that tiny
This image is offensively outdated and reeks of 2010s opinion
>wait for dawn of war 3
cursed image
terrible opinions
This aged very poorly
imagine samegayging this hard
It's old as frick, there is nothing to deny there.
and so's the RTS genre
all the best RTS games are well over 15 years old at this point.
Age of Empires 2 is the best in the genre and has a pro scene and its older than most of the people on this website
Wow
tiberian sun frightened me as a child
Why? The atmosphere? The scary mutant creatures?
a shame the netcode from c&c generals sucks, was ever only able to play in lan, the game desyncs after 5 minutes when over the internet
>NOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST USE SUBTERRANEAN APCS ON MY homosexual BASE
>Tiberian Sun is trash
I'm going to RMA you
Hold on, this is an edit of an old outdated version, with Shit take
>shittalking renegade
Man frick you cracka, I'll bite your bait
its not an RTS
Yes and the pictured remaster is phenomenal.
I loved Red Alert back in the day, but after playing stuff like Warcraft 3 and Starcraft, I can't go back to it anymore.
They really are perfect
NOD will be crushed under the mechanized boot of GDI.
Gentlemen. There is a nuclear device. Time is running out.
Mean. Green. Unseen.
So does CnC Remastered on steam have all the games?
it's just red alert 1 and CnC1
BAN ALL BOOMERS
>>>/vr/
GET THE FRICK BACK IN YOUR CONTAINMENT BOARD YOU DISGUSTING PIECES OF SHIT, THIS IS A ZOOMERCHAD BOARD NOW!!!
>reddit spacing
>cruise control caps
This seem some false flagging operation, because even I don’t believe zoomie are this moronic. Here’s your (you)
>k-ongay is moronic
woah
The only good game in the series is C&C 4 which is pure sovlfvl kino
red alert 2 was my childhood jam... played the soviet campaign repeatedly
I always fricking hated generals, it's not a command and conquer game.
I used to be anti-Generals back when it first came out because I was a C&C loyalist back then and hated the addition of (non-harvester) workers, but after going back to it I actually think it's a fun game.
I hate generals too but Ganker generals
I really liked the story in C&C 1. On the GDI side at least. It starts off as a pretty generic army men "Sir, yes Sir!" deal and gradually morphs into horror territory as the campaign plays out and you learn more about Tiberium.
CnC + RA 1 was too weird and clunky for me but I am an RTS bab who only played WC3, SC1 and SC2. I picked up CnC 3 on sale and it's kicking my fricking ass on normal campaign. It feels like I'm getting attacked constantly and can only just fend them off so I never have anything to counter with.
For real I'm surprised EA remastered this but not Red Alert 2 and Generals.
You know, the actual RTS games that most boomers and millennials grew up playing.
>Remastering generals
They couldn't get away with that shit even if they wanted to. Come on man, do you really think "modern audiences" would be cool with an entire faction based on terrorist cliches and stereotypes? We could get away with it when generals was made because of politics at the time, but now having a suicide bomber unit that says "I love a crowd!" Is not going to be seen in the same light.
The way I see it they're no different from the goblin sappers in Warcraft III and that got...um...reforged..
Anyway my point is they need to stop being pussies and remake it.
Frick Zoomzoom feelings give me RTS
I was expecting RA2 and Tiberian Sun remasters as a package. They use the same engine don't they?
Always sad how dead these threads are, RTS are truly beyond the little shits outweighing us old people these days.
C&C was good until 4, which is arguably the worst game I ever played and literally the worst $5 I have ever spent.
Red alert 1 and 2 are good. The third one was too cheesy and really started to mark the end of C&Cas a whole. The dumbing down of resource collection was the beginning of the end, what would they take next, base building?
Can you even play 4 anymore these days? Didn't the game require some sort of log-in or always online shit? I bought the game on sale waaaay back in the day but never bothered to even play it.
what would they take next, base building?
Are you being sarcastic? That's exactly what happened in 4
It was foreshadowing of the horrors to come...
Yeah but you/that anon also mentioned hating 4 so, you/he have/has seen it at the time of that post.
Anyway, RA3 was still kinda fun even if definitely a step down from RA2 and even 3.
4 was an unfathomable pile of shit I tried playing a few times even out of disbelieve how shit it was just to be reassured again how horrible it is, what the frick happened there?
this pretty much
i got every C&C game as part of some $10 bundle on Origin years ago and shit gets fricking cringe after RA2 and Generals.
C&C3 was tolerable but 4 and RA3 were awful
Is there a mega of all the games pre-patched, ready to go?
Command and conquer: zero hour aged like wine, it's tied with warcraft 3 for my favorite rts of all time
Where the frick is the Tiberian Sun/Red Alert 2 port/remake
