Shoutout to 3D Realms for sponsoring this video :) What would you guys rate Tempest Rising on a scale of 1 to 10? The demo is playable for everyone until February 3rd, check it out here : sbx.gg/tempestrising-uthermal Current demo is to test multiplayer and skirmish but the game will also have two full campaigns ^^ Thanks for watching and have a great day!
@@TheOriginalElkstone I don't know, he tells you right off. It's not a commercial message, like an ad, but more of a paid review and he tells you about that construction. You see this more often that they just include the message about being sponsored in the video itself. I think it's allowed when you do it like that.
I was watching this on my TV until Thermy said that this is his first sponsored video. Then I turned off the TV, returned to my laptop to say this: THIS IS SO COOL! People who work hard and who make others happy deserve to be paid. So please do those, we'll never doubt you, but we'll just be so happy for knowing you have some additional income, that's always awesome. And now I'm going back to my TV.
This is awesome, Marc! Some of my favorite memories I have from youth is playing countless hours of C&C, RA and SC. I've been waiting decades for a new (good) C&C, looks like my wait is finally over. Thanks for posting this, Thermy. Cheers!
Boy howdy did I play a lot of Red Alert!! I always played red... I think, they made the big slow tanks, right? Devastators? ... That was my jam.... LAN party with friend on our very slow PS1's.... haha
uThermal getting some of his own cheese flavored medicine from the AI is was peak entertainment! Looking forward to seeing more of your coverage on this eventually - it definitely brings to mind C&C 3 in a good way
You know, it would be a good UI upgrade to have each sub-panel in the build menu flash when you have a unit ready or construction paused. uThermal manages to not notice he paused his last technician in production and wastes minutes of time because of it. This would help avoid such situations, especially because he already had a similar issue with buildings during the first game.
For early game macro with GDF (assuming it works similar to C&C), you can build and then sell refineries early game to get the extra harvester. You can probably have at least 2 harvesters per refinery and still maintain efficient harvesting
I am looking forward to this game finally releasing for years. Its great so see it get some attention by such great content creators like you. Maybe there will be some more content of it here?
Glad to see Tempest Rising hasn't been quietly canned, I've been looking forward to this coming out for a while now. That Frank Klepacki soundtrack is 🧑🍳💋
Looks amazing, all the mechanics of RA2 expanded and more. I do miss the colour and style RA2 the units portaits and maps, but this is worthy of the title suscesor.
If you highlight a unit or building it will tell you how much your modifiers are changing your build time. It will say -6 seconds when in distribution mode for example or it will say + if you are in low power.
One thing I've noticed that StarCraft does better than ANY other rts is the visual distinction between races/factions. It seems very difficult to tell the difference between the factions at a glance in this game, and many others. StarCraft design makes it incredibly super easy to immediately know the difference between zerg protoss and Terran. Still seems like a great game, but I do wish there was more definitive and obvious visual differences between the factions.
It's a problem with these realistic RTS. There is no real way to design it. Even his own troops, due to the sizes/scale, rocket troops look so similar to other troops. This game has a lot of problems and I wish he didn't claim it is the best RTS we have never heard of... It's a generic RTS.
This looks very entertaining. Once you get a good grasp of the units and what they do and what buildings do what; You can start cooking up some shenanigans'.
Can you do a challenge where you try to beat people while only being able to have 1 of a unit on the field at a time? Like you can have 1 marine 1 marauder, 1 liberator, etc, and if the 1 marine dies you can remake it, but you can't make multiple of any unit. Love the videos by the way!
Have you ever heard of or even played Dominion: Storm Over Gift 3? Very old RTS and, as far as I know, actually one of the reasons SC became so good. Unfortunately it's never been remastered. I loved playing it in my childhood.
from the start of it brought back memorys... my very first game i ever played was command and concer red alert! i used to play it with my grandmother, it was infact the last thing i ever did with my grandma before she passed away in her sleep... makes me kinda sad seeing this but also happy...
some issues in the game: - enemies should be have a more different color design to distiguish from the own units, like a red health bar or similar - you have sometimes difficaulties to find you units, maybe a sidebar of units, with jump marks could be nice - you mostly drive into the "mineralfield" what harms your units, marking waypoints could help or somthing like a all unit upgrad to avoid go into this fields
Hey Marc! :) WoW! I didnt expect this game to be actually really good & ok. I just thought it was a simple CC copy, where units just simple insta die & thats it + some nice scene intro/movies between the mission/Story? I didn't knew this game have a Vet xp system for the units, that´s truly awesome, that means we can really got attached to some favo units! :D And we can auto repair them. Air attack fly on a mission, harash etc etc. Goes home & repair & perhaps rearm? And flying out again. Really nice! :) I didn't even knew that some units have some kind of there own specialty feature, not at least, the cool Doctrine lvl up system page that you showed to us, that is really cool & nice. RTS players like such things. Another thing that is pretty important, units actually lasting longer in life a bet longer, this give us the game play of what you guys do in SC2. That gives the player a longer lasting dance game play, especially with the flying units that show us & used the off area mountains/safezones, by hovering init! :D ( really nice to see that Buggy cars cant kill the tanks so fast at all, due to tighter armor. I wonder if the system have more Front Armor then sides & rea? LIke Company of Heroes games had. Really nice to see diff speed & diff range for many diff units in this game. :) Anyway, I must admit, it´s really promising for matches & such. Also really nice that there are building out there on the map. Like CC Generals or else of the old RTS´s, that can be taken over. :) Thank you Marc for showing & explaining & thanks to the sponsers, may you have a great day! :) BR AN.
I have high hopes for this game! Remember that you can rotate buildings as you place them by using mouse wheel. That's good for GDF's refineries as you can minimise harvester travel time☝️🙂
1:04 amen drone operators and riot vans were my favourite combo, the operators are safe in the van while they use the drones i think tempest is way stronger too, mainly because of the workers and how much easier to micro they are, and just about all of their buildings have an attack like orks in dawn of war.
Both Campaigns first missions were pretty great nearly a year ago. Had that role play interactivity before missions with some great cinematic feel then for the gameplay pretty standard fair design wise (for a early campaign mission) but fun gameplay.
I was wondering about the crush mechanic, in C&C3 you can crush lighter tanks with walkers and heavy tanks, gives a more tactical aspect and there body blocking doesn’t work
Has uThermal ever played "Universe at War: Earth Assault" or "Metal Fatigue"? I'd love to hear his views on two RTS games I loved as a kid. Man...I gotta get around to downloading UaW again. I loved the aliens that called down the buildings with crop circles!
One thing I've noticed is that it is a LOT harder to tell your units from the enemy's, it may just be me or because I'm watching from my phone, but especially in surrounds I can't tell until you attack that unit that that's an enemy.... Maybe I'm too used to watching SC, LOL
I love where the game's at right now, but the only thing that doesn't look right to me is how the infantry turns really slow, it doesn't seem realistic the way they move like tanks.
Looks so much like C&C BUT I was actually disappointed in that flame tanks graphics lol how old is C&C3??? But anyone who's played it knows that, that game had amazing graphics for the time especially the flame tanks. That game STILL looks good. 😅
Red Alert 3 was pretty good, it is sad that EA doesn't invest in their strategy games and buries their servers so quickly... They really need to sell that IP to someone who will actually use it and invest it. If they did something with C&C like Blizzard did with SC2 I think they could make something of it. There still is a big community for C&C. Been watching Tempest Rising for a while, glad to see someone replicating C&C so well. I will support for sure.
Shoutout to 3D Realms for sponsoring this video :)

Thanks for watching and have a great day!
Glad to hear you are getting sponsored video. Game looks also fun
Wait why is this video not marked as sponsored, is that even legal
It looks like a 8 Game with a 9.9 with parches and expansión

Bland and souless CnC ripoff. Horrible unoptimized as well. Dont give them your money for a cash grab.

Whoa, same here! That’s hilarious. Back to the TV, glad Thermy’s getting that bag.
Here Here! Thermy deserves it!
pretty much the same over here :D Imagine Thermy getting a stable income from his sponsorings and putting it towards his SC2 2v2 tournaments =D
145k subs dude he is making enough money compared to real working population..
I miss the old command and Conquer games, I am glad there is a worthy successor.
The flame tank/black hand attack animation from cnc3 is still the best flamethrower animation of all RTS, a decade after it came out
Command & Conquer, is that you? xD
"New Construction Options - Building"
Yep that's CnC alright!
32:15 Looks like a Nod Obelisk to me...
Hope they have copyright issues figured out.
Yeaaaaa
@@DanteVerde-pt9zc they even got heavy metal music in it, yesss
bro you gotta play red alert 2's campaign, itd be such a joy for you to experience how good it was
Yes!
Pls 🙏

been waiting for this game actually, had it wishlisted forever
I've been waiting for this game for over 2 years so hyped!
This is great! Congrats and would love to see more of this game. There appears to be some significant depth and micro potential.
just want to say love the vids when you checkout different RTS titles. Also congrats on the sponsor!
I have been excited for this game for a few years now! I am so glad it has moved forward!
Looks amazing, all the mechanics of RA2 expanded and more. I do miss the colour and style RA2 the units portaits and maps, but this is worthy of the title suscesor.
Feeling noticed 😀 thank you. Great video!
I 100% heard of this game. It's been in my steam wishlist since April 18th 2023. I been waiting and waiting for it.
Hey I was just playing the demo tonight. I liked it overall, pretty hyped if it has a good campaign. Definitely recommend giving the demo a whirl.
totally awesome vid thanks man, the one rts i've been waiting for since first demo dropped
already on my wishlist looks incredible this game.
Red aler with eye or sauron tower. Very nice.
We have C&C successor, nowe I need only Earth 2160 successor
11:46 "These things are really strong!...I think" 😂😂 that got me
Mark losing to a Hail Mary engi rush by the A.I is absolute cinema.
Played the demo about half a year ago - very excited about this. Absolutely TibSun vibes)
Tibsun is best setting in a RTS. Always feels like your fighting over a dead land.
This looks amazing and I'm going to try it out!
If you highlight a unit or building it will tell you how much your modifiers are changing your build time. It will say -6 seconds when in distribution mode for example or it will say + if you are in low power.
By the title I fully expected some weird fast mass Tempest cheese, LOL
I love to see you playing other RTSs for a change, cool stuff
Definitely gave me nostalgia of C&C. I'm going to inspect this one out.
Would love to see Uthermal play some CNC tiberian sun or red alert 2
That tower gave off that Red Alert Spectrum Tower vibe
One thing I've noticed that StarCraft does better than ANY other rts is the visual distinction between races/factions.

The Game just Needs To Brighten the Colors to tell Unit Differences
With Colors and maybe Brighter Graphics it'll be better
Probably will have a 3rd faction like Scrin in C&C 3 . This game does look like C&C 3
@@zilalibayan6030 Yeah, they have gone too shy on the brightness for units, especially infantry
Yeah unit clarity is one of the linchpin of unit designs in RTS
This looks very entertaining.
Once you get a good grasp of the units and what they do and what buildings do what;
You can start cooking up some shenanigans'.
Great video, congrats on the sponsor!
youtube somewhy just unsubscribed your channel for me so i had to correct this error and re -sub :S
Tempest Rising does look intriguing.
Would like to see you play it some more.
Thanks for showcasing this fun game! ^^
Lots of features from C&C Generals (power, no map for GLA, reactor overcharge for the US, neutral buildings...)
All of those are also RA2 features.
No map until you put up a Comms Center is from the original game.
Can you do a challenge where you try to beat people while only being able to have 1 of a unit on the field at a time? Like you can have 1 marine 1 marauder, 1 liberator, etc, and if the 1 marine dies you can remake it, but you can't make multiple of any unit. Love the videos by the way!

So, uh - went to steam to wishlist it, and it was already there. That says something about my attentionspan, doesn't it?
from the start of it brought back memorys... my very first game i ever played was command and concer red alert! i used to play it with my grandmother, it was infact the last thing i ever did with my grandma before she passed away in her sleep... makes me kinda sad seeing this but also happy...
Congrats on your first sponsored video ! Lots to come i hope
The Building queue is such a good feature for me being a long time CNC gamer
Wow, that looks literally like a new version of Command and Conquer
some issues in the game:
- enemies should be have a more different color design to distiguish from the own units, like a red health bar or similar
- you have sometimes difficaulties to find you units, maybe a sidebar of units, with jump marks could be nice
- you mostly drive into the "mineralfield" what harms your units, marking waypoints could help or somthing like a all unit upgrad to avoid go into this fields

BR AN.
I have high hopes for this game! Remember that you can rotate buildings as you place them by using mouse wheel. That's good for GDF's refineries as you can minimise harvester travel time☝️🙂
This is like CnC + Red Alert vibe. Games should be like this where you don't hold the players hand to play the game.
Oh nice, a Tempest Rising video. I'm waiting since months for the game to get released. :)
1st online game i played was Red Alert. This is so nostalgic.
Reminds me a lot of C&C generals with the doctrines
True
This looks amazing!
I really dig that THICCC Russian Accent of the lovely announcer lady
It looks more like red alert very nice
1:04 amen
drone operators and riot vans were my favourite combo, the operators are safe in the van while they use the drones
i think tempest is way stronger too, mainly because of the workers and how much easier to micro they are, and just about all of their buildings have an attack like orks in dawn of war.
Do upgrades apply to older army?
Added it to my Wishlist on Steam, hopefully there will be a good campaign, it looks old school cool.
Both Campaigns first missions were pretty great nearly a year ago. Had that role play interactivity before missions with some great cinematic feel then for the gameplay pretty standard fair design wise (for a early campaign mission) but fun gameplay.
Hey uthermal , not sure if someone already told you but you can rotate buildings with the scroll wheel when placing it.
that second game honestly feels like Marc just got uThermal'd 😆❤
Downloaded the game via your link
It looks fun
Ah the goood old times NOD AI strat of engineers in APC rush to command centers to capture/sell it. HELL IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME
uthermal said he didn't like this game before lol, but now he does for the sponsor. I played it and wasnt impressed
I was wondering about the crush mechanic, in C&C3 you can crush lighter tanks with walkers and heavy tanks, gives a more tactical aspect and there body blocking doesn’t work
Yea this is a day 1 purchase for me. This looks like alot of fun and I need an old C&C fix
I dont play games anymore, used to be crazy with C&C when i was young. Will buy this game when its on sale to support the dev.
So it's finally come out. been on my wishlist for some time.
because of uthermal im clapping the ladder hard with mass ghost lmaooooooo
tempest rising, eternal empire, war slide etc
2025 will be a great year.
remake of many OG masterpieces.. its just sick
Looking great and fun! However, are there location hotkeys and shift, ctrl, alt hotkey manipulations like in StarCraft II?
Has uThermal ever played "Universe at War: Earth Assault" or "Metal Fatigue"? I'd love to hear his views on two RTS games I loved as a kid. Man...I gotta get around to downloading UaW again. I loved the aliens that called down the buildings with crop circles!
Actually I have heard of Tempest Rising and eagerly waiting for its release. Hope the campaign is good.
It's really good to see an attempt in RTS gaming. Finally. Although I still think that the gameplay of Kane's Wrath is far superior.
Grats on the sponsorship
Congratulations!
I’ve played it a couple of times and I think it’s awesome. Are there any mega weapons like in CC where you can nuke someone’s base
OK, please, more of these!
One thing I've noticed is that it is a LOT harder to tell your units from the enemy's, it may just be me or because I'm watching from my phone, but especially in surrounds I can't tell until you attack that unit that that's an enemy.... Maybe I'm too used to watching SC, LOL
The king of RTS right here
I'm very surprised by how polished this game looks.
Uthermal is the nicest man on the planet. While still making all his partners and opponents absolutely think he's insane.
Great game. Gorgeous visuals and landscapes, complex interactions. Certainly a promising RTS
game looks good. A good campaign would be nice. Steam workshop would help the game stay alive for long.
Uh, I didn't even have that on my radar anymore. Let's pray that it will have fully customizable hotkeys.
Uthermal you should watch bike rush play kanes wrath it’s insane
Great strategy games I would like to recommend:
Stellaris.
Manor lords.
Against the storm.
Remember guys no pre orders
I love where the game's at right now, but the only thing that doesn't look right to me is how the infantry turns really slow, it doesn't seem realistic the way they move like tanks.
Is it out yet ?
I still listen to red alert music to get hyped up lifting.
Yay! You mentioned "Beyond All Reason"! How is that game going for you? Still playing?
I hope they saturate the colors of each team/faction a bit more or theres an option for it, to be able to tell the difference quickly
Does Tempest Rising have super weapons ?
Looks so much like C&C BUT I was actually disappointed in that flame tanks graphics lol how old is C&C3??? But anyone who's played it knows that, that game had amazing graphics for the time especially the flame tanks. That game STILL looks good. 😅
What do you mean never heard of? This was hyped since the first teaser.
Super fun!
I can't help but suspect Marc of being a bit stoned in some of the videos. If I'm right, good for you man. Greetz from the 430 crowd 🙂
Red Alert 3 was pretty good, it is sad that EA doesn't invest in their strategy games and buries their servers so quickly...

sponsored content! good for you!
0:40 Some the UI elements seem like their from “They Are Billions” I’m assuming its maybe the same devs?
