At one time, RTS games dominated the gaming industry. Classics like Starcraft, Warcraft, and Command and Conquer left it's impact and inspired many new games even today. RTS games may not be as popular as they once were, but there's a strong base of players who love to strategize and command armies. Command and Conquer has a bunch of tongue-and-cheek vibes (the famous Tim Curry escapes to SPAAACE). In 2018 we thought this series was done with it's latest release being a mobile game by EA called Command and Conquer Rivals. And then we were pleasantly surprised with a Command and Conquer remaster. Not just a remaster, a remaster COLLECTION! Made by some of the original team members and even online fans and modders, this leads to a truly special remaster.
Let me know what you think about the Command and Conquer Remastered Collection!

15:36 Tiberian Sons is Frank Klepacki's band. Hardly something you can call a fan band. 17:08 Joseph Kucan actually _was_ kind of dragged in front of a green screen from behind a desk - he was originally at Westwood as a voice acting director. He had done voice acting, but C&C was his on-screen acting debut, IIRC.

@Nyerguds 3 года назад

-Actually, that particular music is credited to "Frank Klepacki *_and_* the Tiberian Sons". They are _not_ Frank Klepacki's band. They are a band that named themselves after C&C and did some C&C covers, but they are not a 'fan band', either; they do non-C&C stuff too. They teamed with Frank Klepacki for MAGFest 2019. They were asked to do the same cooperation again to record a studio album for the Remasters. -Joe Kucan was hired as _director_ for the live action FMVs, and to recruit a cast for them. Not as voice actor. I don't think he worked at Westwood prior to C&C. He is _not_ in the class of "employees who were already there, who were dragged into acting / voice acting" like Kia Huntzinger and Eric Gooch. Kia was a secretary at Westwood, and Eric was a graphics artist. But Joe was _specifically_ hired for his background in theatre, for the purpose of making the FMVs.

@Fantsupantsu 3 года назад

When you said that Westwood didn't really invent RTS genre, that had a bad ring in my ear. I know that errors happen so I'm going to educate you a little bit about this. Westwood created Dune 2 way back before Warcraft and that game was really the true kickstart for the genre. There may have been some less know games with the same idea but Westwood with Dune 2 made it all more or less mainstream. It was so good that Blizzard copied the engine for Warcraft because they wanted to play Dune in multiplayer. This started a competition between these two companies and they created a hit after hit and all RTS fans can still enjoy those masterpieces. PS. I get the "Ratatouille effect" (the critic eats the food and gets a flashback from childhood) from the intro of C&C everytime. The sound effects and the Westwood logo are burnt Into my brain. May your legacy live forever Westwood Studios!

Why is it that the more Jirard grows his beard out, I have a stronger and stronger urge to touch it for good luck?

I don't know, I saw it and thought it could use a good trimming. Might want to get that good-luck touch over with before he notices.

I loved command and conquer back in the day. Haven't played it since the first one. From what I understand, it's a good series of games. Always wanted to get back into it someday.

C&C and Doom were my 1st PC games back in 95. I try to play the series at least once a year. Just brings me happiness going back to being a kid. Still capture the enemy buildings and turn the map into a giant fortress w/ leaving one enemy building on the map. Taking 2hrs to beat a mission for no reason what so ever just fun. I hope they make a final chapter for GDI/NOD. Just love playing as NOD. The units,The story and just the look.Also you are fat and old like myself. Hope that helps w/ the views 😃

Erm, Jirard.... "The first WarCraft did come out a year before Command & Conquer so Westwood Studios may not have necesseraly invented the genre..." 4:12 That's a big mistake right here, dude. Before C&C and Warcraft there was Dune 2, the first modern RTS game, made by.... Westwood Studios. So they did literally invent the genre!

Red Alert 2 Expansion: Yuri's Revenge remains probably my favorite entry in the series, it's just completely bonkers and by this point they had gone full on camp with it. You can still tell in the beginning the cornyness comes from sort-of sincere acting, especially in Tiberian Dawn.

@Space2050 3 года назад

I really loved the force attack options in C&C: Red Alert. :D Clearing a whole forest just to connect your base with a new ore deposit was fun back in the day.

@lctaylor6 3 года назад

Westwood developed and released Dune 2 at the end of 92, almost two years before Warcraft. They essentially invented the base building, resource gathering RTS. Anything before that was very different gameplay wise.

My big RTS games when I was a kid were Red Alert 2 and Generals. I loved em growing up. Bit of a shame they arent around as much anymore.

@NindieNation 3 года назад

Man... Jirard... I bought this on launch day (my birthday!) after having played the mess out of RA1 and 2 back in the day. I only got like an hour in and was kinda overwhelmed having been out of PC games since, well, pretty much RA2. Seeing this makes me want to go back in to the remaster, turn off all of the "modern" controls, and go back to what I probably still have muscle memory from. Wasn't sure I was going to watch this, but yeah, I'm in. Like you always do, my current gaming schedule just got sidetracked because now I gotta play through this collection.

They're not really a "fan band"; they do more than just C&C covers. But yea, Frank just cooperated with them for MAGFest 2019 and then the Remaster. After all, these tracks are all credited to "Frank Klepacki *_and_* the Tiberian Sons".

Westwood did invent the genre. Their first type of RTS was BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's revenge. Their first real RTS was Dune II. Don't give blizzard that kind of credit.

@seanmcgee8772 3 года назад

Thank you finally someone else remembers Dune 2 as the first rts.

@Jonnicom 3 года назад

They didn't invent it, but they definitely honed it. Red Alert 2 is still the best in the genre IMO.

@xDanieL.A.F.x 3 года назад

@@Jonnicom Actually, you're right. Herzog Zwei is the first real RTS. However, Gerard is wrong in saying Blizzard did it. Dune II was the first to establish the format that all RTS use today. Warcraft has shit control and shit balance.... Catapults... ugh.

@Privatesargent 3 года назад

One little foible with the facts Jirard, besides Dune 2 being the first rts as said by other comments, the person who played Kane actually WASN'T a professional actor and was a developer they pulled in front of the greenscreen. He was just that charismatic that you couldn't tell.

@Nyerguds 3 года назад

Fair warning to anyone checking out Dune II though, there's a load of clones out there, and I've seen many, many reviewers show footage of one of the clones thinking it was the original. The only allowable exceptions there are the OpenDune derivatives; OpenDune is actually a complete reverse engineering of the original game's source code, so it really does play 100% like the original game. OpenDune-derived projects like Dune Dynasty are probably the closest Dune II will ever come to a real remaster. (PSA: Unlike OpenDune, the OpenRA project is _not_ a reverse engineering of the original Red Alert, but a fan clone built completely from scratch.)

@Mpow84 3 года назад

I have never hit the like button so fast! Even before the video actually started, I had already smashed the thumbs up, after just seeing the title. Red Alert and Red Alert 2, were some of my favorite games growing up! Thank you so much for the trip down a nostalgic memory lane!
