In case you didn't hear, lead producer of C&C Remastered Collection Jim Vessella is now at Respawn working on a new Star Wars strategy game together with a recently formed independent studio Bit Reactor, while Petroglyph is currently busy with their original WW1 RTS. You can stop getting your hopes up about that Tiberian Sun/Red Alert 2 remaster now.
It better be an Old Republic game during the Mandalorian Wars or the Jedi Civil War.
But then you can't have a hero unit Darth Vader or Kylo Ren and the EA execs will want that
Are they going to make a remaster of Red Alert 2?
They might be working on a Empire at War sequel. Even better.
What if it follows the nu-trilogy?
thats a cute ship you got there anon
Man, I like the concept of some heavy bomber in space, especially with defensive turrets, but that thing was so fricking dumb.
Can't wait for the nonsensical Kirov equivalent. Bad news either way.
Frick nooo, I was hoping for Tiberian Sun+RA2 remasters.
They are already done. Release date soon to be announced
That's bullshit, but I believe it.
I'd honestly prefer Clone Wars.
>WW1 RTS
>Petroglyph
One can only hope

They announced it in August I think
It doesn't look bad, just not sure how engaging would trench warfare actually be to play.
Still, did C&C remaster did that badly? It's not like costs or expectations must have been high.
>Still, did C&C remaster did that badly? It's not like costs or expectations must have been high.
It did actually pretty well according to Jim. The real reason why we haven't seen remasters of TibSun and RA2 are probably that for RA2 the source code got lost, apparently. Don't know whether that is also true for TibSun.
>RA2 the source code got lost, apparently.
Jesus christ, what a frick up.
But I assume the code should be pretty similar to Tiberian Sun. So if they have either it shouldn't be that hard to make something close to the original, even if not 1:1 copy.
Still, how does that even happen. Especially since they apparently had the code for the first games.
>Still, how does that even happen.
no one has formal responsibility and the guy who keeps track of it quits/retires/gets hit by a bus/etc
pretty common in small businesses
>Still, how does that even happen.
shit happens all the time, gets put on a disk in a box in the basement and the janitor throws it out
>shit happens all the time, gets put on a disk in a box in the basement and the janitor throws it out
This, unfortunately. I worked at a company where that happened as well. Old shit never got backed up on repositories but just stayed backed up on old tapes, which someone then threw out at some point because no one cared.
>But I assume the code should be pretty similar to Tiberian Sun.
Yeah, that's what I heard, too. That RA2 uses a modified version of the TibSun engine. But I don't know how heavily modified it was. Still, I think that if EA wanted to, they could've easily allocated enough resources to make it happen.
TS and RA2 would require much more effort for a quality remaster and it's easier to frick them up. The leftovers of the original Westwood team that are at Petroglyph are not even the members of Westwood Pacific that made Red Alert 2, so there's that too.
They should've started with Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2.
damn that sucks bros
I never gave even a slightest bit of a flying frick about C&C so whatever. It's a literally what by a literally who series for me.
Empire at War 2 could be fun if they made ground battles entertaining and added political system and diplomacy to the game. PostEndor balkanized galaxy with numerous Imperial Warlords, Hutts on the loose, rising New Republic and regional powers like Mandalore and Onderon trying to form their own Empires would be fun a frick.
Unfortunately this period sucks in nuwars, since they ruined entire setting by listening to that inane no politics homosexualry redditlettermedia and the likes were spouting, so it won't be fun here.
That sucks. Frick Onions Wars.

Worst news I have heard all year... man frick Star Wars.
