CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM! Original Command & Conquer getting a remaster!
- Thread starter Black Sunder
- Start date
It is EA, so all existing microtransactions as well as they'll invent some new ones.
C&C has sucked ever since EA bought WestWood.

I played the original Command & Conquer.
I hope this remake plays as well as that did.

When I read the part about "exploring some exciting ideas" the first thing that popped into my head was "meaning how we add microtransactions and paywalling"... it's sad really.
While I never played the first C&C, one of the first games me and my father bought was Red Alert. I still have the original box with all it's contents (and both expansions in original boxes beside it) displayed on my shelf of plastic junk.. I mean models. God I loved those games. Hated the " inside a building/commando" missions, those were so hard as a 6-8? year old who didn't speak the language lol
First actual CnC game I played was Tiberium Sun I think... the one that came out after RA. That was fun too.
RA2 was awesome and Generals was decent enough. There was a CnC around that time that still had base building, but it was already kinda weird and mediocre. The rest after that was utter junk.
I hope they don't do the same to this as they did to Dungeon Keeper. I real remaster with bug fixes and no other alterations apart from some control/ui improvements. That would be awesome!

You have to harvest lootcrates for resources!
Think thats the only thing in EA's playbook.
Generals was my most played and red alert my favorite. Westwood had a true gem, but EA fucked it up good. :´(
If EA doesn't fubar it with microtransactions I'll be picking it up. Got some fond memories doing all night LAN sessions with friends as a kid.

Until given an indication otherwise I will see what this may bring. I have a healthy amount of skepticism and hate for EA myself but they did a great job with C&C3 and RA3.
That is because they're working to develop a whole new leeching scheme that has not yet been named.See how long this lasts.
Maybe intravenous transactions?
Until we get an official remake, I can recommend this open source version of RA, Now With Zero Added MicroTransactions!
I wonder what will happen to it once EA starts remastering this as well...

I played through the first couple of missions of the main Allied and Soviet campaigns, and it worked pretty well! Great game to play on older laptops and such as well!

Fine... cautious optimism, half steam ahead.
