    As a long time fan of C&C since Westwood, I'm glad that all of this is available on Steam yet livid at the fact that it needs community support. It is like showing up to McDonalds for a cheeseburger but you only get the bare ingredients and the wheat must be made into flour before baking into the bread for the bun.

      Same, ESPECIALLY since they coupdve easily told all of the modders ahead of time so they couldve fixed their mods before the steam launch. Like all the servers are run by fans, dont you want multiplayer to work on them so more people see a reason to by the games?!

    While, I realize it's not perfect, I'm quite happy with this. If it gets C&C in the eyes of more people and lets EA know people are interested in this franchise still that will be great. This is one of the few times I'm happy to speak with my wallet, so I bought it again on steam even though I already have it.

    I just want to be able to play RA2:YR and Generals:ZH online without using 3rd party servers for 2 reasons. First, I have a family member who I grew up playing the games with but isn't too keen on 3rd party private server hassle. Two, the online portion of the games are unintentionally gate kept because most people are not willing to jump through the hurdles making it so usually only the most hardcore (skilled) players are online ready to tear you apart.

My price for the remainder of the bundle was $5.18, buying the games individually would have been a lot more than that. Of course that further depends on what you want, I wanted all the games so of course the bundle makes sense. If you only want 1 or 2 games then the bundle isn't cheaper (better hope you never change your mind and want more games later though). Everyone will have to figure out what they want and the cheapest way to get it themselves.

    C&C 3 + Kanes Wrath and Red Alert 3 + Uprising all crashed/hung upon changing resolution on first launch, but worked after the second launch. Thank the lord for 30fps Low Frame Compensation technology on my monitor though, playing Kane's Wrath with Gsync and no input lag feels amazing. I really hope we get more C&C Remasters, that first one was a day 1 buy and the only EA game I've bought in over a decade. We need these games to run at 120fps nowadays and I only hope to see EA continue C&C support for passionate remasters.

    I'm so happy that the collection is on steam. I literally grew up playing CnC and I'll happily have another copy of these games. I'll play them the same way I always did; alone and in my own head.

    Command and and Conquer has one of the strangest legacies of community vs publisher support. Many of the games have been patched and updated by the community to work on newer hardware, even providing multiplayer support. And yet, EA kinda refuses to let the community actually do what they want with this. Then they come out with the TibDawn and RA remastered collection, and people wonder if EA is going to start caring again. And then they stop. Again. The one thing that has never failed every few years is yet another re-release of a C&C bundle (a very Bethesda thing to do) on a different platform or format, except with C&C, EA can’t be bothered to even put in the developer support to make it work right out of the box. They will do the thing that will earn them a few extra bucks from the IP without having to put in any work, but can’t be bothered to support their own releases of these games.
    EA, at this point, just make it all freeware or give us releases that properly support community modding. It’s not that hard *or* expensive. No minute amount of profit off of a rerelease could net you enough money to outweigh the vast kudos you would get by just opening these games up to people.

    8:24 I suppose it's keeping up with tradition. Fresh, final-build screenshots would be nice for consistency, but to be fair I have some physical copies of the original 2000 big box retail release of Red Alert 2, and they have screenshots from non-final builds on them, too. So in a way I'm glad the Ultimate Collection is authentic to the series in that regard.

    • @OneSybert

      @mjc0961 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I have to disagree. It's authentic to a few very niche people, to everyone else it's just false advertising. Only screenshots from the final game should appear on the store page. It's all digital, there's no excuse. The reason you saw non-final builds on game boxes back then was box design was finalized and sent off for printing before the game was done. That's not a limitation anymore.

  • @DoctorAllanGrey
    @DoctorAllanGrey 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    They did the absolute bare minimum to release the games again in an almost-untouched-but-not-quite state that broke some mod support (again) but still ultimately require community tools to either work properly in any state, or for multiplayer specifically, or somehow changed just enough to make them incompatible with previous releases, somehow. No real additional efforts going on to improve quality of life, it's just the community around each game continuing to have to make-do and construct their own tools to keep things playable. The additional barriers-to-entry of getting multiplayer working for them, as admirable as the various community solutions are, doesn't really help for bringing in more longterm players imo.

      C&C 4 servers are up. Just played a game, there was about 10 other people online.
      TT servers didn't go down when all the other GameSpy servers went down. They stayed up for a while, and now you can still play, but it's a dice roll. When you launch the game you're prompted to login and when you enter your details there's maybe a 10% chance it works. But if you keep trying to log in it should eventually work, for me it was maybe 6th attempt to log in that worked.

      You might be right?
      Looking at the page, now it's off the Steam "weekend deal" section, Steam just lists the bundled discount compared to the price of the games themselves. Of course, you can't actually buy the games themselves through the regular store, so that "full price" is fake.
      So it was never on sale, even though it was listed as a "weekend deal" and the $20 price is not real. I guess that's good, it means the barrier to entry for any C&C game remains at $10, and may even be discounted in future sales.

      OpenRA has a native lunix version btw. Proton mostly is a port of wine that supports steam runtime. Most of compatibility fixes are pushed into mainline wine, and if that is not enough, Lutris team does a great job at prowiding both a launcher with many features to simplify running and installing games through wine and their own build of wine with some additional optimisations. I use proton because of convenience of not having a separate launcher; most games I tested run fine without proton as well

    I also don't expect RA2 TibSun Remasters. EA send a clear message to the community by making yet another no effort mobile game instead of actually remastering the next 2 big games of the franchise. This TUC release on Steam seems more like another cheap way to keep real fans somewhat happy?? But without putting much effort and money into it either. They still include extremely broken versions of these two games that will continue having permanent crashes and compatibillity issues going into the future. I'm glad that CNCnet exists. But a real modernized no compatibillity issue having remaster would have been nice.

    I think I personally Have purchased Command and Conquer six or seven times each!
    CnC 95 and covert ops - two times for the PC, N64, The First Decade, The Ultimate collection (origin), Remastered, The Ultimate collection (steam) and Open RA
    Red Alert plus Counterstrike and aftermath - Once for PC, The First Decade, The Ultimate collection (origin), Remastered, The Ultimate collection (steam) and Open RA
    Tiberian Sun and FireStorm - Once on PC, The First Decade, The Ultimate collection (origin), The Ultimate collection (steam) and the freeware version - Just to get it to work, but then 3 weeks later the Steam version launched.
    Renegade - Twice on PC - The First Decade, The Ultimate collection (origin), The Ultimate collection (steam)
    Red Alert 2 and Yuris Revenge, Once on PC, The First Decade, The Ultimate collection (origin), The Ultimate collection (steam)
    Generals and Zero hour - Once on PC, The First Decade, The Ultimate collection (origin), The Ultimate collection (steam)
    Tib wars and Kanes Wrath - The Ultimate collection (origin), Steam, The Ultimate collection (steam)
    Red Alert 3 and Uprising - The Ultimate collection (origin), Steam, The Ultimate collection (steam)
    Tib Twilight - The Ultimate collection (origin), The Ultimate collection (steam)
    Boy, I feel bad for mocking people who have purchased Skyrim Multiple times.
    Now... How many times have I purchased Starcraft?... Well, you see...

    Its weird. I started olaying C&C lately. Got my friends playing C&C3 which I advocated for the Ultimate Collection through EA. It's free with Gamepass Ultimate and was the cheapest way to get all the games at it's $18 price point.
    Then a few weeks later steam drops the price of C&C 3 and RA 3 and their DLCs to $2, and then a few days later they release the Ultimate Collection to steam.

      @OneSybert Well, I got my copy of TUC at Walmart over a decade ago, and my friends got their copies a few weeks to a month ago. So it's probably too late for a refund.
      That said, I've only got 4 copies of RA 1. How's the modding scene on steam compared to EA?

First two were done exactly how remasters should work. With great care and appreciation of fans. I want more of that please instead of having broken titles which need patching, stupid!

    I still have the boxed version of many of these titles still in my garage. I did pick these up while on sale as I didn’t own any of these on Steam. I used to play Generals online with my friends for months back in the day. Great times. Still, I think TA is a better RTS than any CnC title.

  • @jiayojames
    @jiayojames 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'd love to replay some of these games but the hotkey customisation is a dealbreaker for me. For instance red alert 3, I want to drag scroll with middle mouse button not rotate the camera. I want to issue move commands with right click but attack move with left click (one or the other for both is only available option), I want to be able to que commands with shift without removing the ability to add to selection with shift as well (it treats it as if there'd be some kind of conflict). The other annoying unrebindable F keys I could just about deal with but the aforementioned just makes the games unplayable for me due to muscle memory (and my unwillingness to screw up my muscle memory for other RTS games).

  • @Street_BB
    @Street_BB 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I am still hopeful it all points towards them maybe trying to make a new C&C game at some point. Not hugely hopeful it will happen but with the success of the C&C / RA1 remasters there is always that small chance.

    One of the advantages of the individual games, is that you can get it in languages other than english, I know I can patch C&C3 and RA3 to my language, but would be nice to play previous games also in my language, playing C&C Generals in my language automatically sets me to my childhood
    Edit: Srr, my english listening is not perfect, did you say that EA App people can't play online with Steam people?

    I'm very mixed about all this.
    On one hand I'm very very happy to be able to have these games on a digital platform where I'm not constantly worried about being banned for no reason. There's so many Origin/EA App horror stories out there.
    On the other, they definitely should have done more work to get every one of these games functional "out of the box," at least the single player campaigns. I don't expect them to get new official servers running for multiplayer or to go to the same lengths as the community improvements for the campaigns - something like "Zero Hour works but is locked at 4:3" is fine if Zero Hour was originally locked at 4:3 (didn't play it when it was new, I don't know). "Renegade launched but I couldn't leave the menu" is not fine, obviously.
    I love Command & Conquer, I'm glad to see these games get new attention, and to be free from the EA App. But the quality of these releases sucks. If it was any other franchise I'd be livid at the state of this release. If the discounted price after account for games I already had wasn't just $5 I don't know if I'd be able to be so neutral about this. I've been angrier about and refused to buy other games for less (although they also cost more, too).
    Look EA just give us Remastered Collection 2.

    wtf was even the point of getting the collection on steam if it didn't actually get updates to make everything run today? All they had to do was collect the best community patches and adopt them as regular patches for everything to work out of the box and not have to google everything. My cat can do that, but she'd lack the license to do so and the public reach to get everyone on board. This is not even repackaged, just a scam.
