    Thanks. Needs the following.

    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 420 or ATI Radeon HD 5570

    The laptop has a "intel UHD Graphics 620".

    Can that run games?

    Honestly I'm not sure, my hardware knowledge is limited. Those integrated cards aren't known for being powerhouses, so it might be touch and go.

    A vague yardstick might be to give OpenRA a whirl, see how that plays. It's a fanmade rebuild of class C&C games, albeit without 4K graphics.

    HD620 is much better than either so should be OK.

    Play a ton of OpenRA, really want to get this but it will be so weird going back to the original game with different units/gameplay/features than I'm used to now.

    Looking forward to it though all the same.

    There seem to be a number of quality of life improvements (multiple units queued, new build bar etc)

    Can't wait to do the campaigns

    Forgot it was June already. Excellent.

    Bought this a couple of months back. Just went in and started the preload.

    I have played very little of the original, I moved on as soon as the sequals came out and stuck with them. RA2 is as far back as I go now , but i play them a fair bit. I must have bought them all about 5 times at this stage between the originals as they came out, then replaced a couple when they went missing then Ive bought the ultimate collection a couple of time either on discs (iirc) and then on origin.

    I'm curious to know what they will do with the multiplayer. The originals were ridiculously imbalanced. The strategy in RA1 was to pump out medium tanks and nothing else. No other strategy could beat it.

    Yeah it's 20GB+ which is bizarrely large for this. First game and Red Alert. Probably a huge part of it is just video files.

    No reviews of this anywhere yet? Tempted to pick it up but I was more an RA2 fan so not sure if its worth it.

    Yeah, the C&C games made use of FMV and CGI cut-scenes, I imagine a good portion of that 20 gig is made up of those upscaled videos, as well as the high-def audio & 4K assets. Surprisingly large, but not at the same time. Preloading myself ATM

    A remaster or Emperor: Battle for Dune would be amazing. A very forgotten Westwood title, which would benefit from its rough edges smoothed over... Don't even think you can buy it anymore either...

    Wonder what this means for OpenRA: it's kind of its own beast at this stage, and AFAIK polished and patched far beyond the original game's balance. But if the remaster is a success, or popular, it could find itself leaking interest. Especially as the remaster (apparently) supports mod-making, so balance mods and patches might / should be possible...

    Where'd you get it from? Hadn't seen it.

    The campaign is included so as long as the online is free and working I'll be happy.

    I didn't graduate to PC for C&C games until Tiberian Sun so no multiplayer experience of original or RA due to having on a PS1.

    I searched it again. Think it's false.
    Looking forward to online skirmish with pals as much as the campaigns again.

    Double teaming the AI?

    Is that not just shooting fish Inna barrel?

    Really on the fence with this one. So many remasters were rubbish. They deliver what they promise but slightly better resolution graphics just isn't enough.
