C&C/Red Alert Remastered

Original Command & Conquer and Red Alert being remastered by Petroglyph Games which is made up of ex-Westwood staff.

At the moment they are saying it's a remaster rather than a remake but hoping it'll be a bit more than just some upscaled textures and 4K support. Either way, great to see the original team involved and hopefully this will be the start of bringing back the series before EA destroyed it.

So the resolution is set to 1920x1080 wide-screen bit everything still seems a bit big to me and I'd like to see more of the map...

Any thoughts?

I think the side-bar is way too chunky. No need for it to be that size

EDIT: Someone also made a mod on the Steam Workshop that lets you zoom further out/in

I can't think of any way to tell him to get over himself with this one. It's just a remaster....

Downloading it now. Didn't read any reviews. Heck, I'm only here as I'm seeing a load of lads I know playing it on Steam!

Important question; can you edit the ini files? I remember there being ini files that you could download to make the enemy more evil/faster/etc.

Gah, I forgot how annoying the commando missions are.

Here, you've got to keep this one character alive through this mission, so he's really good at killing infantry at range.... except we'll make you destroy buildings that can randomly spew out two infantry, and who can fire on your commando immediately.

Above links are for anybody else in the future having the same issue as me.

Seems like there are updates that my laptop does not seem to be able to process/install. Its started now, very very slowly , but hopefully if this works, it will help others.....

Wife is insistant I cant buy a laptop just for C&C, very unreasonable , but Ive been on my laptop for nearly 4.5 hours trying to find a fix for this . . Now with the reviews of the game Im desperate to build a massive army and send them all in at once .......

I remember cheesing the final gdi mission but building fences and slowly inching my territory forward. Ai just queued up outside my base.

Then in red alert I got horribly stuck on a timed mission. You had 45 minutes to take over a building at the very back of the enemy base. Couldn't do it in time.

Then realised I had to apc rush with engineers. Did it. Saved in the following mission. I didn't realise the time from the previous mission carried over. Had 4 minutes to beat a 10 minite mission so had effectively soft locked my game.

God I was awful at rts then !

They have also released the source code and will have mod browsing so fans can keep building onto it.

Was there a difficulty slider in the original? Got to maybe the 4th mission in GDI campaign on hard. The micro is so clunky that almost impossible. Good challenge.

Yeah, only negative I have is how awful the classic graphics option is. If you are stuck with that you'd be better off with the fan patched original. Can't see that happening though as my 10yo i7 920 with 6gb of ddr3 and Radeon HD6870 play it fine.

The original games are free to download from the EA website.

Nice touch that they used the old early 90s EA logo on the menus.

Nevermind its unpacking

It's saying this update process will take ages.

I'm with your original point, what was the point of preloading.

The download looks like it will be quicker than this process.

Are you running the latest service packs and patches for Win10 64

Being honest it's a minefield trying to troubleshoot on an open forum hah

Haha, yes! Seeing the various audio device options was brilliant!

Played the first three GDI missions and it is glorious. Fair play, EA. I'll be on this for weeks.

And look at the numbers! The U.S is still in work and yet there are over 40,000 people playing it one hour after launch. Who says there isn't an appetite for good RTS games these days?!

That spec is plenty powerful for this

Anyway too late for that

What laptop model, what specification and what operating system would be a good start

*edit* to note the game doesn't launch until 6pm so might have been the problem all along

If there are no reviews, I'm guessing no outlets have been given advance copies - can't imagine that means anything in of itself though. The nostalgia factor should be enough & I'd read no update that suggested EA (well, technically Petroglyph) weren't taking it seriously.

Pretty sure it's just embargoed until release, but this website screwed up the tweet for their review, and put it up early. The link is dead until 6, but the tweet itself gives it away.

My first suggestion is why oh why did you buy it on origin!

Tbh unless we know the specifications or your laptop very hard to know how to give you advice.
