Command & Conquer Remastered - One Of The Greatest Remasters Ever Made

It may be 25-years-old, but Command & Conquer remains one of the greatest strategy games ever made - and the recently released remaster is a simply exceptional piece of work. Alex Battaglia has the full lowdown on the modernisation of a stone-cold classic.

See Blizzard, this is how you ‘reforge’ something...

Its late 1995. I am 13 Years old and i play C&C Tiberian Dawn at a friends House.
My Mind was blown away this day.
The combination of Base building, Funding Managment and Strategy was something else.
My Love was cemented that Day and was deepened with Red Alert a year later.😍

This remaster brought me right back to 1996. I spent so many hours of my high school days with these games. $19.99 is a miniscule amount to recapture something from my teenage years. I'm glad some of the guys involved with the original game were able to help for the remaster.

Played it throughout the weekend, absolutely love it. So faithful to the original. Lets hope EA give the license to Petroglyph to work on a remaster of Tiberian Sun/Red Alert 2... or even better, a brand new C&C game!

I like that trend of super-high-res remasters of old 2D games. It really brings them back to life.

I hope EA finally sees that there is still a massive audience for classic style RTS

The good old days when my friend will bring his full size tower over so we can play some lag free lan games. Those were the good times.

I will never forget my dad taking me to WH Smiths in 95 to buy this game, still have the big box on the shelf :) Just the installer blew my mind in 95. Definatly checking this out!

The big thing for me is I can't believe how fun this game still is.

2020: a year where EA managed to be better than Blizzard. We are in bizzaro timeline people.

Watching Kane in the bonus scenes in Red Alert when he would coach and help the FMV actors just made me think even more how Kane is a great leader.

Man... nostalgia hits hard. This was my go to game in the 90s.

[Boopop]

Preordered this after learning about them having a "Community Council" and open sourcing the entire codebase. Two very promising signs. I'm glad I don't regret my decision . Could this finally be a sign that EA is going to treat C&C with some respect at last? Let's hope so.

AoE 2 DE: Finally, A worthy opponent.

A perfect remaster - it makes it look like how my childhood mind thought it looked. Exactly how it should be done.

Now we need RA2 and everything else - make sure you buy this so that they continue to remaster.

The hours I put into these games back in the day. Now this is how you do a remaster.

12:27 - ahh yes, the classic APC full of engineers tactic... only to see the APC get blown up and all your engineers killed before they could reach a building...

[alphaorg]

I will never forget how many LAN Parties we had back in the day. How many sleepless nights or/and a whole week playing Red Alert when we didn't have to go to the school that week (for every 2-3 months of school we had 1 week off). I will definitely buy this. The soundtrack alone is worth it. Damn, nostalgia!!!

[aideniridescence]

They absolutely have to do this kind of remaster with Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge!

so much love went into this remaster. I hope we get tiberian sun and red alert 2 remaster too
