So the remaster of a beloved old RTS game, one of the games that really established the genre has released on steam and origin.
I always had a huge weakness for the C&C games so I had to grab it. The new graphics look great and I love that I can swap between old and new. The redone sound track is fantastic and the new cutscenes... well, they look ok to kinda crap, but considering that all the masters were lost, the fact they could get them looking this good is impressive. Personally I feel the gameplay holds up, although it is certainly rough compared to how far RTS games have come, the pathfinding works but is pretty wonky, there is no move/attack and some of the mission designs really show that they were designed in a time before play testers. One of the biggest things I was worried about was that this is an EA owned game, so I was sure they would try some shit with it, but low and behold, no origin needed, you don't even need an EA account or anything, just start it up, go through the old dos install sequence (which is awesome and probably skippable) and have at it.
