Man idk what I’d be more interested in: a full RA2/YR remake to the same level as the previous or Generals 2 but they would both be very high on the list.

I actually think a Generals remaster would do more than one for RA2. The resolution is absolutely horrendous.

You can change the resolution with a simple INI edit, or install Gentool which lets you select. The bigger issue with (at least the earlier) SAGE engine games is their RAM and CPU limits so they can get pretty laggy as games go on, especially certain BFME2 mods with their big armies.

Just trying to get the game to run on Xbox game pass for PC via EA pass. Getting a weird "This game must be run as an administrator error" As far as I can tell everything is, I've tried another EA pass game, it worked fine. Baffled what to try next If anyone else has experienced this and managed to fix it I'd be grateful.

Bit of semi-self-promotion time. World Axletree, a Chinese-made total conversion for Yuri's Revenge I did some localization work on just released its first English version. It does some really impressive stuff with the engine, give it a go! Needs RA2:YR installed. https://www.moddb.com/mods/world-axletree/downloads/world-axletree-1-2pb-english-version Be warned: Anime

Coincidentally, another impressive Chinese C&C mod I helped out with also just came out. You gotta download the two files, but this one is standalone and doesn't even need YR https://www.moddb.com/mods/eternal-cronus

Maybe this isn't the right thread, but I can't imagine there's a better thread either. How has the Command & Conquer series been received in China? Obviously China was a faction in Generals, there's a Chinese modding community, and I seem to recall some mobile games that include C&C art assets. Are any of the games popular? How are GDI and Nod perceived politically/ideologically? Is the Chinese scene integrated with the "western" one, or is it unique?

Red Alert 2 is hugely popular in China but apparently the funny story is it happened through a pirate release and specifically repackaging a mod that added an overpowered China faction. C&C itself is merely a footnote on Red Alert 2's glory (which is why Tencent went with it for their mobile game), and Generals isn't too liked because of its inaccurate (even within General's general tone) depiction of China.

It's interesting, the C&C modding community is one of the few where there's not a lot of friction between East and West, in fact there's a fair deal of collaboration what with the various engine upgrades and publicly shared graphics.

I got nothin' to do with the coding, I just came in near the end to make the English not sound too weird. :P To answer your question, I think the unreleased, yellow faction kind of uses workers/Zerg drone logic from the look of it. One of the subfactions in the current version does have a unique build system where you can quickly place a structure but then your MCV has to move near it to actually complete the construction. Wizardry. Just about every contemporary RA2 mod uses a code injector to greatly expand the game's features, the Chinese community mostly uses a fork called HAres.

TibSun's 22nd anniversary is coming up in a couple weeks, and the community's putting together a series of events to celebrate it. There's even some slight hope that a remaster will be announced at gamescom, but who knows?

We know they are working on RA2 for sure. They even had a poll on facebook of all places asking if people wanted to see a remaster (Like remastered collection) or a remake (new, possibly 3d engine, reworked gameplay). Remake won, which makes me very nervous. Nothing beyond that though... Sininu fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Aug 12, 2021 |

RA 2 still plays and runs fine to this day. Emperor: Battle for Dune though definitely could use a remaster. It sill looks great but the UI and pathfinding is god awful and good luck getting it to run on anything past Windows XP.

I cut my RTS teeth on Dune II and even back then the flaws with the resource pool, AI economy, etc. were pretty obvious. Dune 2000 was pretty neat but not something I've ever been inclined to revisit. A good, modern remaster of a Dune RTS would be really nice.

Funcom bought the Dune game rights, given the new movie is out all the rights went up for sale again (might higher asking price now) and we're getting Dune boardgames very soon and at least 3 projects from Funcom. Funnily enough, with the Conan RTS game by Petroglyph last year, there might be another teamup with them for a Dune RTS at some stage... given they have some of the origian Dune II people still working there it would have come full circle. Except two of the games to be mobile/social media type of games though and who knows what the third will be, an RPG/action game possibly.

Newest anniversary update is a new version of TS megamod Twisted Insurrection. NOD and GDI have been divided into subfactions, and there's a brand new playable race.

Red Alert 3 was a good game imo, but it became unfun to play when everyone discovered the best cheese strategies for each map and faction combination. I'm not saying every match should be no rush 20 minutes, but the constant barrage of early game all-ins was annoying. I think I got into the top 50s on 1v1 ladder just building Tengus and letting them explode next to enemy harvesters. Enemy MCVs running over my building pods was the bane of my existence, but I had no trouble sending fake barracks pods to drive over enemy dogs/bears/engineers/etc. Why the third faction didn't get anti air infantry is baffling to me.

Ah, memories.
