First Command & Conquer Remaster gameplay video shared

Isn't this basically OpenRA?

That was my first thought too. If you're just after a 1:1 replica at a higher res and able to work on modern OS OpenRA will do the job for free.

Heck if you have the original media for it to pull the files from it'll even use the FMV mission briefings.

All they did was simply update the textures to be higher res.

They should have really done it right with proper 3D models and terrain which can include smoke, particles, raytraced global lighting, shadows and other effects. They could have kept the view to allow for nostaliga to seep in, but also have the option for smooth zooming and free camera movement.

And allow the super zoom out to allow for modern super high resolution and large scale monitors.

This looks like a student project.

Aaaa yes walking down memory lane :-)

I used to love the C&C series but im slightly underwhelmed by this, i still may dive in just for memories sake when it comes out.

But it's a remaster, not a remake. What you'e describing, to me, sounds like a complete game remake, not a remaster of the visual. If all the stuff you are talking about was added, it would essentially be a new game and wouldn't carry the same nostalgia...

Why is everyone wanting 3d or new units, new mechanics?
This is a remaster not a REMAKE. Its like when they remaster films for bluray, they didnt change how any of it works but improved the provided version of it.

If it was claimed to be a remake then yeah I would be annoyed but I really just wanted high resolution and working C&C, it was a perfect game IMO so I would be happy with just playing it with modern graphics with no changes if necessary. I only just seen OPENRA which I will give a go in the interim.

I will buy this if it keeps up with what they show purely because it is how they advertised it.

Hmm, I don't know. Was Gears Ultimate a remaster or a remake. It was still the identical game but will all new assets, poly models, etc.
