TotalBiscuit has just done a lets play of the classic Command & Conquer Red Alert game running on the opensource OpenRA engine, and as you can see they have seen a huge spike in activity
A Command & Conquer: Red Alert remake is being developed by fans, with the game now available as a mod for C&C Generals: Zero Hour.
I wish someone would bring back Command & Conquer back - done the way the first dew games were. Red Alert was the best C & C game and even now, it still is fun to play after all these years.
GameSpew lists some of the best video game prequels for those of us that crave more than what the original stories gave us.
From Eurogamer: "Looking back on the real-time strategy boom of the late 90s, it's unsurprising that modern audiences tend to celebrate Age of Empires, Starcraft and Warcraft. Beyond being great games, these titles also told stories that feel unproblematic. They are set in either the distant past, the distant future or in the distant recesses of our minds. The Command & Conquer series, however, played with a parallel version of the real world heavily influenced by post-Cold War international relations.
In 1999 Westwood Studios took that plausible real-world setting further with Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. Set in 2030, Tiberian Sun asks two difficult but important questions: are we better off if the "good guys" win? And, is this version of Earth, on the verge of ecological disaster, even worth fighting over? These questions, like the game's FMV sequences, could easily be laughed off by players in the halcyon days of the 1990s. Players in 2019, however, must wonder if Tiberian Sun represents a schlocky relic of a bygone era or a prescient prediction of an impending reality."
Amazing what open source can do..
