Adding entire Command and Conquer collection is awesome, but where are my lovely remasters of Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2, EA?

Command and Conquer remastered sold quite a lot of copies to warrant it.

Also, EA should put all NFS games on Steam starting with Road and Track Presents: The Need for Speed Special Edition

 

[Hudo]

but where are my lovely remasters of Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2, EA?

I've been thinking about this at least once a week. I'm not kidding.

Jim Vesella said once that EA were happy with how C&C Remastered Collection sold. So I dunno what the issue is other than the rumors that they've lost the source code to the TibSun engine. But then again, they could just do it on the RA2 engine since that is just a modernized variant of the TibSun engine. But Vesella is currently busy with Respawn's/BitReactor's Star Wars strategy game...

 

[Fabieter]

Fucking yes.

Remember sneaking in the room of my older brother to play cnc games when he wasn't at home. I obviously preferred the pc version but I even liked the psx version of red alert.

 

[Holammer]

Alpha Centauri is there, finally. The wonders in the game are next level.

 

[lefty1117]

I simcity you 3000

 

[ManaByte]

$5 for every C&C game is so worth it.

 

[Spyxos]

Was that game actually good? I remember a lot of talk about it at release, but it just didn't...look good?

I played it for a few hours back then, the game only had one new idea, otherwise it had nothing interesting.

 

[WitchHunter]

Jeez, this reminded me that EA has lots of good games, like all the Bullfrog games. What a goldmine... insane how they wasted the potential of franchises like Syndicate.

 

[demented waffle]

Thx for the heads up, OP. Picked up Alpha Centauri and Sim City 3000. Had the Sim City disk on my old pc, but didn't put in a drive on my current one.

 

[Drew1440]

Interesting, Hopefully they will add the The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection and the original Sims to Steam.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

C&C Generals. Works, on Proton experimental

Populous the beginning. Works perfect, track pad, and can have native Res (1200x800)

Dungeon Keeper 2. Played laggy. Will have to mess around a bit more on my end

Populous 2, worked perfect. Looked like it ran a bit fast but maybe it did anyway? Haven't played it since the Amiga version..

That's all I've tested so far, I'm going back to Generals for a bit

Red Alert 2. Black screen on main menu. Nothing seemed to fix it

Zero hour. Lock up on loading screen, nothing worked. Will try more

Sim City 3000. Loads fine into main menu, can change options okay, freezes up during loading of map..

Dungeon Keeper 1. Works perfect but low resolution (It is an oldie after all)

Bit peeved about Sim City 3000 and C&C's. Will certainly be tinkering tomorrow.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

You should have done your part and spread the word on ICQ

I distinctly remember playing Alpha Centauri and chatting with my crush on ICQ. Those were the days man.

 

[Neon Xenon]

Nice drop of games onto Steam from EA, I gotta admit.

I thought I was going insane where I thought I had already bought SimCity 3000: Unlimited and it was in my Steam library, but I guess I was thinking of the copy of the original version that I had when I was little. $1.99 (on sale) isn't bad, so maybe I'll pick it up, so long as it works right.

Eventually, I would like to see the Windows version of SimCity 2000: Special Edition on digital storefronts at some point, but I know that would take some extra technical effort because of the issues that game has running on modern systems. I have fond memories of playing SimCity 2000 SE on my family's first computer after I got the game for Christmas. And I'm still not sure what started this, but if the internet at my house ever went down, that game was among the first I would play; which only made the always online requirement of the SimCity reboot that killed the series extra funny to me.

 

[SolidQ]

Where is Undying?

 

[Dorfdad]

YES and it hold up pretty good! I really liked it.

 

[Rentahamster]

Please release Black and White, if they still have the rights to it.

 

[Jack Package]

SELL RED ALERT 2 ON IT'S OWN YOU BASTARDS!!

It has an individual price listed. I don't want the whole collection, I have the remasters of C&C1 and RA1, I have the other games (except Tiberian Sun) on Steam already. SELL ME RA2 YOU MONSTERS

 

[SirKicksalot]

It's been a good week for classic EA games

 

[Caffeine]

Might have to get dungeon keepers

 

[NanaMiku]

Fuck yes Generals!


Still salty they cancelled Generals 2

 

[amigastar]

Where's this?

I remember being totally excited for Black & White and then it came out and i've played it. Let's just say i never believed anything Peter Molyneux said after that anymore, lol.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

In for dungeon keeper, staying for C&C.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I remember being totally excited for Black & White and then it came out and i've played it. Let's just say i never believed anything Peter Molyneux said after that anymore, lol.

I never really looked into what anything he was promising back then and I only knew of him from a few good Amiga games, probably some of the best ones really, Syndicate being one of them but.. I did like it for what is was, and it wernt bad.

I think he really came to light for me from Fable

I thought that was quite a basic game.

 

[Dazraell]

Very nice, I bought some previously discounted C&C games and The Saboteur

Where's this?

I believe there are some licensing issues preventing this from being sold. I remember a Noclip video where they were talking with someone from GOG who mentioned that distribution rights at EA and IP is owned by Microsoft, which creates some legal hoops as both of these companies would have to work together to bring B&W to sale

 

[skit_data]

Some sweet games here, I remember being very fascinated by Populous The Beginning. Might buy C&C Collection and the Populous games.

Microsoft?

They never fail to fuck something up!

 

[Dazraell]

Yep, probably cause Lionhead Studios was their internal studio. If you're curious to learn more, here's the video I mentioned

I'm guessing with all of them, switching to a linux/proton version of dosbox will fix the problems up.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Although not a Dos game, they've also listed The Saboteur

Runs great on the deck, just set the deck to 60fps 1280x720 and use controller setup (it defaults to km).

 

[Krappadizzle]

Where's this?

 

[nikolino840]

 

[KiteGr]

I got Dungeon keeper. I would had bought Red Alert 1 & 2 but I'm short on money ATM.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

For you Steam only gamers, The Crusader No Remorse/No Regret games arent there yet. They are on GOG. But if they show up on Steam one day, they are pretty good.

On GOG, they are $8 CDN and go on sale for like $3.
