What the heck! The retail big collector's edition has a Steam copy?!
I might actually have to get it. After all I was nicknamed Red Alert by much older guys at the youth center when I was like 8 and went there to play RA nearly every evening.

I know I don't need a $150 physical collector's edition of a $20 game however I would very much like a tiny obelisk of light to sit on my desk at work :ohdear:

I really, really hope it has a directional motion sensor so it can ominously hum at people.

I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?



I've been playing Mafia 3 (now that I can finally run it) and here are my findings so far:
What a badly optimized port, there is no need for this to tax my PC that much for those (very decent but not top of the line) graphics. Looking up some tweaks and a reshader helped a lot though, and made it look p good.
The gun feedback on enemies is very good. It's kinda repetitive but I get called the N word a lot so those fuckers are just inviting me to kill them. :getin: I like the city and the story.
Doubt ill make it a hard recommendation but at least it's solid so far.

Any tips or obvious things that are hidden in the suboptimal UI I should know about?

Only if they add a FPS limiter to the map/menu screen of GoW. That makes my PS4 fan spin up like a jet engine :v:

I understand the reasoning behind remastering the original C&C first and I’m sure there are some people somewhere that could genuinely enjoy playing it today but I can’t help but think it’s like a smaller version of Square Enix going “We heard you want a Final Fantasy 7 remake but first we need to do 1-6 first.”

Yes, which is why people should do like Strix said and PM the codes to people.

Why was that one kind of seen as a letdown, anyway? It reviewed well but it didn’t quite have the reputation the first games did.

Just gotta keep walking down that road.
By the time Tiberian Sun rolled around there'd been a serious oversaturation of those kinds of games much in part thanks to the popularity of the first ones and TS was just a competent one of those, as I remember it. C&C clones were Doom/Call of Duty clones of their day.

I feel like “competent” isn’t really giving TS enough credit, it was a pretty huge improvement on the original. The unit design and map features were hella fun (I loved setting off a chain reaction in a blue Tiberium field), but I can see how a lot of it would blend into the background of the RTS glut. I avoided most of that for a while so it still stood out to me.

I mean there's always been kind of a very quiet, ultimately pointless RA/Tiberian division of liking one or the other but the reality is that TibSun and RA2 are both incredibly good games and you should play them both anyway. :v:

gently caress it was so annoying play BB on my ultrawide monitor cause ps4 doesn't scale to that resolution. Instant buy if it comes out. Currently playing Horizon on PS4 pro and that thing will make your console fan go crazy.

Btw lets HOPE this releases on Steam and is not epic exclusive.

You still have Renegade X for the multiplayer side of things, it usually has a handful of servers with players every day.

I'd love it if they remastered the sp though.

Right but other games had also made improvements to the original by then and Tiberian Sun just could not match the expectations set for The Command & Conquer, the series that would once more come and show all those wannabes How It's Done, with just another solid but ultimately pretty risk-free entry.

I feel like it's much as if Half-Life 3 came out now and was just another good Half-Life title, y'know. It could be an improvement over the previous games but at the same time it could not possibly meet the expectations and make the same kind of impact as its predecessors did without truly adding something fresh and original to the formula in a highly successful way.

Metro Exodus got its steam page too before going EGS exclusive tbqh. Don't really see Sony that hungry for that Tencent money tho.

Are there any rts' out there that play like Tiberian Sun? Relatively slow-paced combat, giant stompy robots, world-is-hosed apocalyptic setting and so on? It had a pretty unique vibe.

Pet me.

I've been hurt before. I don't know.

At this point I'd like to point out that a Free standalone mod called Dawn of a Tiberian Age is classic and red alert on the Tiberian sun engine (storywise a transitional gap between RA and TD) has been out for a long while now, with choice of classic or voiced Frank klepacki tracks.

Comes with a Skirmish mode, and naval units for TD units to compensate!

Oh hey, this is cool. There's also OpenRA, which adds a lot of QoL improvements to Tiberian Dawn and Red alert. I wonder how the two stack up.

Oh man, I just read that the guys behind it are petroglyph studios which if I remember right are made up from the remnants of guys from the dissolved Westwood studios.

On the one hand, yeah that's the right move, on the other hand, that poo poo has to sting a little.

I grew up playing c&c so I'm a little biased seeing just how badly EA handled and neglected this IP for a decade.
