The Remastered Collection’s flair for the theatrical doesn’t end there. It’s a wonderful bit of theatre, demonstrating Petroglyph’s commitment to making The Remastered Collection feel like an occasion and not merely an upgrade. Grainy logos are gradually upscaled from 320x200 as far as 3840x2160, while it also pretends to scan for sound cards before selecting “HD Audio”. Things look bright for The Remastered Collection right from the new EVA “Installation”, which has been entirely re-made to make sense in 2020. Personally, I don’t think that’s the case, but even if it is, EA can be as cynical as it likes provided it continues to green-light remasters of this quality. Only a handful of hardened troops (mainly Starcraft II) have stayed behind to fight.Ī cynic might therefore view the Command and Conquer: Remastered Collection as EA testing the water to see if interest remains in what was once the Commander-in-chief of strategy gaming. As tough-as-nails tactics games and hulking grand strategies have stormed across the battlefields of the last decade, the RTS has beaten a hasty retreat.
#Command and conquer red alert 2 remastered series
Beyond a couple of nondescript releases on mobile, the venerable strategy series hasn’t so much as trained a minigunner since the dismal reception of Command and Conquer 4 back in 2010. If you were the kind of madman that Kane himself might recruit and viewed the decline of real-time-strategy games over the last ten years as some kind of war, then Command and Conquer would have been the first casualty of that war.
