RIP Westwood. Uncle introduced me to RA1, later then RA2 and YR shaped my childhood.
What killed C&C for me is really very simple, the exact same thing that killed Dawn of War 3 etc. They outright REMOVED or trivialized half of the game, base building. To "focus on the interesting part, fast paced action". No. We want base building, its the STRATEGY in Real-Time STRATEGY.
For C&C to live again, it needs to escape to the one place uncorrupted by EA SPACE!
driving suicide gas bomb trucks into US themed military bases as a kid online in 2003 was wild
yes... :(, the end was cut off during the 4k uploading process (we have no idea why, our render is 100% functional), and we must have missed it when reviewing the YT video...but the last part im supposed to say C&C isn't like the other series, and not actually planning some new sequel or has a recent one which is kinda sad, making it a relic in a sense. and also the next case is spectre divide! shrouds game
4 wasn’t just a bad game; it was a misfire that ended a genre-defining franchise.
Westwood lives in death!
What killed CnC was EA's trend chasing.
The reason for the German re-release (I got my German edition before the ban back in the day) was mostly the close resemblance and possible glorification of the Iraq War and the fact you can play a terrorist organisation with suicide attackers. The German re-release "Generäle" and "Generäle: Die Stunde Null" regained the release status by changing the appearance of the person's displayed to cyborgs. Not sure what "Germany inspired characters" without a "parallel universe" you are referring to regarding Generals but there was no reasoning regarding this afaik. The original German dub was imo iconic. The new versions were mainly distorted to sound like cyborgs.
Joseph played Kane so well that no one could replace him in the role, and he created a new religion One Vision, One Purpose
I love Genna Bains comment when a C&C came out for mobile. it was something along the lines of "I'm glad my Husband is dead so he didn't have to see this"
Red alert 2 and Generals (along with their respective expansions) were my jam back then. Current petroglyph RTS games currently fill that void along with revamp mods of Generals. Thanks for the vid man, it was GREAT!!!!
C & C was my childhood, and it's insane how C&C : Generals roughly depicted the 2000s with GLA
Peace through power! One vision! One purpose!
The Music was so iconic in Red Alert 2 that i still remember it to this day. Lets not forget the one liners the units speak was unforgettable 👌
I can't believe anybody disliked the graphical style of Tiberian Sun. Such people must have been brain damaged.
The fans are literally keeping this game series alive with mods such us dawn of the Tiberian age twisted insurrection mental omega rise of the east red resurrection corona mod tiberian essanse(?) the devs of these mods must have some form of cronic back pain
Red Alert was ported to PS1 but Red Alert Retaliation is a separate game featuring the PC expansion's missions and new cutscenes exclusive to the PS1. Those missions are actually more suited to the PS1 as you can take them slowly for the most part.
why people always missed Dune 2000 and Emperor: Battle for Dune? those are worthy mentions
