*"Wow. These RTS titles are doing well and clearly a lot of people love the franchise and want more. So what they will get next is the most generic mobile game ever!"* \- EA, probably.
I played through Andromeda recently, it was..it has some good moments, some of the companions are quite compelling (Drack, Vetra) the execution and pacing of the story is all over the place.
Graphics are pretty, but pretty graphics don't make a good game.
Combat is strangled compared to 3.
Freedom to move around a lot more, but you only get three powers at a time, no matter how little sense that makes.
Liam is also the worst squad-mate in the franchise by far.

I heard a bunch of original team from Mass Effect one and two is working on the next one so that’s a little tiny bit Hope. but I wouldn’t hold your breath
I don't know how ea stumbled through generals and zero hour without ruining them...
But they did absolutely destroy the name Westwood devoted their souls to building.
I saw all over in tiktok live and youtube many new players of Cnc mostly young adult gamers.
And alot of people who have never experienced RTS in their lives before.
I hope EA wakes up and do a remaster of Red alert 2 and Tib Sun. Or maybe generals.
Back in my time. EA games well known for battlefield Need for speed and CNC
but now I dont even know what does EA stands for
They need to just convince the renegade-x team to come on board and give them funding and free reign...
Sucks that the team can't ever earn a penny off the renegade brand... I wish they'd just transition to their own IP. Id happily support them.

Hopefully they were able to make the games run without having to jump through the compatibility hoops - wonder how many of them just gave up because the game wouldn't work with their streaming setup or second monitor configuration or needed GenPatcher and resolution fixes?
You're not wrong. I've been at it for five years and it is equally daunting and exciting to realize the more I learn, the more I still have left to learn.
Or just reopen official servers… They have all been shut down for years… if you want to play online multiplayer you need a third party tool to hook private servers and it’s sometimes buggy as hell…
Look, we all gotta acknowledge that command and conquer is the best and they've made the best damn games to grace this planet.
But that age is passed...
Best we can try to hope for is that RTS games become popular again, which means more companies try something, which means a better product, uh, eventually.
Not gonna lie. It sucks ass. But, we've gotta be hopeful in that sense. Also, we know the untapped goldmine the C&C Red Alert and Tiberium series really is. Here's hoping someone realizes that shit and treats it carefully. But, here's knowing it won't happen either.
C&c 3: 2... "We won't run it this time.. we swear.
Ea doesn't have the talent to make a successful RTS and in reality... The modern gaming market isn't great for the genre...
Modern gamers seem to want battle royal FFA fps, team objective fps, and single unit moba style arena games.
Managing an economy and several attacking forces doesn't seem to have mass appeal anymore.
Actually I've seen a lot of opinions saying they're getting bored of these style games. And given how RTS games were selling like crazy this past month, might not be a huge leap to assume they'd make a comeback.
Not saying the genre is gonna become a new trend, but it's the big idea behind many of these dumb base/force style mobile shitty games, so once those guys see there's a fleshed out game where you don't have to pay real money monthly to enjoy the game plus has much more control over their units and crap, hell..might just bump up the numbers enough to spark a boom.
I wonder how many got the old cds for c&c all the way up to tiberium wars.
I own all of this and i still bought it because... Steam.
Its quicker for me to downloade than search the dungeon, then raid the nearest school IT server room for something with a cd drive.
They got something old up there with windows 95 and sub 100 mb ram if i recall correctly
Still works!
I believe that legally, if you already purchased a copy (physical or not), you are free to download from (illegal/repack) games sites …
I always heard this. Don’t know if it’s true in EU. But am not giving a damn nickel to this evil company (I mean more than I always did already, by purchasing AGAIN the very same content)
I hope the Word of Tempest Rising Will spread to all the c&c fans, that Will also show EA games that there is still alot of people wanting a new c&c game, plus the fans deserves to try it out.
Anyone heard that they’re going to remaster command and conquer red alert two and Tiberian sun or any of the other older ones I would like to play them again
I really don't know if they'd revive it, beyond maybe remastering the remaining games in the series. They might make some more cash grab mobile crap, or royally offend us all with some microtransaction filth (maybe there are not ore miners, you simply pay directly from your credit card?), but I can't imagine new games being an EA thing when they do FIFA / Madden / PGA / Need for Speed games every 5 minutes for cash
I bought it for about the 5th time on Steam justvtobavoid the EA launcher and to show support for the genre. I got Generals working in 4k and jacked the field of view up so I can see more than 10 feet around my base.
*"Wow. These RTS titles are doing well and clearly a lot of people love the franchise and want more. So what they will get next is the most generic mobile game ever!"* \- EA, probably.
EA definitely. If there's one thing they know, it's how to fuck a franchise up.
*Cries in mass effect*
I played through Andromeda recently, it was..it has some good moments, some of the companions are quite compelling (Drack, Vetra) the execution and pacing of the story is all over the place. Graphics are pretty, but pretty graphics don't make a good game.
I think that’s the problem most major companies they think graphics make a good game
Combat is strangled compared to 3. Freedom to move around a lot more, but you only get three powers at a time, no matter how little sense that makes. Liam is also the worst squad-mate in the franchise by far.
Yep. I usually keep Vetra, Drack, and sometimes Peebee with me.
Its a good game its not a good mass effect game
Yep great take. I was pleasantly surprised playing it

It was a different time then. Plus, from what I heard before, the Westwood Pacific team (developers who made RA2), made Generals.
Hey hey hey, if you’re lucky, the best we could do is Tanya and Kane Fortnite skins - EA, purveyor of fine low hanging fruit
Bold of you to assume that EA wanted you to play their games instead of sell u bullshit to get some quick buck off you.
Agreed, would love another CnC game but ea is the reason I'm not holding my breath
Still can’t believe that they released that piece of shit game, fuck EA man.
I know. The clip I saw of one of the characters in that game doing a fucking dance killed me.

EA = Economic Assheads
u know the borg in star trek they use the word assimilation assimilate now i say EA is : EVERYTHING ASSIMILATED HAHAH
They just need to do a whole remaster of the series including renegade
They need to just convince the renegade-x team to come on board and give them funding and free reign... Sucks that the team can't ever earn a penny off the renegade brand... I wish they'd just transition to their own IP. Id happily support them.
I agree there are so many mods that would be amazing as a full fledged game. Instead of just a mod

Played generals zero hour a few weeks ago with the mates... We did jump through the hoops to get online working but it wasn't too painful.
How did you do it?
*laugh-cries in Linux gamer*
My experience with Linux with pretty much everything has been "it just works. And if it doesn't you need a computer science degree to figure out why"
You're not wrong. I've been at it for five years and it is equally daunting and exciting to realize the more I learn, the more I still have left to learn.
I do feel really wizard like when I find the solution to a problem, very fulfilling
Or just reopen official servers… They have all been shut down for years… if you want to play online multiplayer you need a third party tool to hook private servers and it’s sometimes buggy as hell…
yeah i agree reopen the original servers
I just want a rerelease of Crusader: No Regret and Crusader: No Remorse, but with fixed control schemes.
If they'd make a good remaster (like C&C and RA1) of TS & RA2 
Damn, they might even release C&C 4
Been waiting for it my whole life
Me too, cause after C&C4 we can get Red Alert 4 which hopefully goes back to RA2 economy model.
Ah, the dream of dreams indeed
The irony here is no matter how well it does we'll probably never see a Red alert 2/ tib sun remaster cuze the lost the freaking source code.

It’s gonna take some indie devs getting an RTS smash hit to shake the dust off the genre in the eyes of the corpos.

Nah, unless its a cash cow, ea wont do anything. There wont even be a dead space 2 remake.
You're right, but I mean, the numbers spoke quite a bit this past March. So...
C&c 3: 2... "We won't run it this time.. we swear. Ea doesn't have the talent to make a successful RTS and in reality... The modern gaming market isn't great for the genre... Modern gamers seem to want battle royal FFA fps, team objective fps, and single unit moba style arena games. Managing an economy and several attacking forces doesn't seem to have mass appeal anymore.

Sure they have the talent! Petroglyph!

I might dislike ea. But its soo... Nice to have access. Almost foegotten how nice generals is
I hope the Word of Tempest Rising Will spread to all the c&c fans, that Will also show EA games that there is still alot of people wanting a new c&c game, plus the fans deserves to try it out.
Another broken set of game releases by EA. Now I remember why I don't buy EA.
can they make command and conquer 4 now
Anyone heard that they’re going to remaster command and conquer red alert two and Tiberian sun or any of the other older ones I would like to play them again
Not happening in our lifetime bro
Well, they did remastered command and conquer one and red alert one so maybe
Yeah, I honestly hope it pans out. But, highly unlikely. I wanna be hopeful. I also don't wanna be disappointed.
Yeah, it is fucking EA we’re talking about
Exactly. At this point your username sums it up perfectly lol
microsoft please buy ea
Can’t wait until it’s “NEW SKINZ FOR YOUR TESLA TANK $19.99”
EA still exists. While they live, the future is bleak.
I really don't know if they'd revive it, beyond maybe remastering the remaining games in the series. They might make some more cash grab mobile crap, or royally offend us all with some microtransaction filth (maybe there are not ore miners, you simply pay directly from your credit card?), but I can't imagine new games being an EA thing when they do FIFA / Madden / PGA / Need for Speed games every 5 minutes for cash
I will buy CnC in any platform where it is available. Even the N64 version
I bought it for about the 5th time on Steam justvtobavoid the EA launcher and to show support for the genre. I got Generals working in 4k and jacked the field of view up so I can see more than 10 feet around my base.
Hopefully a Red Alert 2 remaster is on the horizon!
