Today it seems like an older, but still enjoyable game in a well-known genre, but at the time it was a bolt of lightning turning what had felt like a niche genre into something approachable and flashy enough for the mainstream. The now-defunct Westwood Studios had already created classic strategy games with the Dune series, but Command and Conquer would be its own creation, starring its own characters in a franchise it controlled.Ī comparison of the original units in an early level and the remastered version Image: Lemon Sky Studios, Petroglyph Games/EA and Image: Lemon Sky Studios, Petroglyph Games/EA via Polygon
The first Command and Conquer game was released in 1995, and arguably solidified many of the ideas and mechanics that we currently take for granted in real-time strategy games. The good stuff has been protected and made better, while the parts around the core experience have likewise been improved, making even the act of getting ready to play the game much more enjoyable. Getting into a game or exploring all the content included with the package has never been easier. The play itself is seemingly lifted straight from the originals, using the existing source code from the original releases, and the units and environments have been recreated in 4K so you can actually see what’s going on. The Command and Conquer Remastered package does exactly what it needs to do for fans of the classic real-time strategy game, which is exactly what a classic of this stature deserves.
