EA Reveals Command & Conquer Remastered Video Teaser Gameplay

What are the similarities between the Age of Empires, Command & Conquer, StarCraft, and Online Slot Games? All four are the legendary RTS (real-time strategy) franchises that have contributed significantly to the genre’s popularity. The first game of each franchise is also still very relevant now, especially thanks to the remastered version that was released.

Yes, after the Age of Empires and StarCraft, the original Command & Conquer also received the same modern treatment. The news about the C&C Remastered has been announced since last year, but at that time, there was still no clarity about the direction of the remastering that would be taken by EA and Petroglyph Games.

A year later, they already had a teaser video from the gameplay. It is clear that the remastering directions taken are the same as AoE and StarCraft; the biggest changes were only made to the visual aspect without touching the original mechanism in the slightest.

EA said that Lemon Sky Studios, the team that was trusted to handle its visual modernization, had changed the C&C chart assets one by one from zero, so it was natural that the results looked so detailed. After that, Petroglyph’s team will match frame by frame of its new assets with their original assets.

This process is taken to preserve the original value of the original C&C while only updating its visual assets. So complex is this process, an asset such as a Grenadier unit can be formed from more than 600 frames.

One interesting feature offered by C&C Remastered is that, while playing Campaign mode, we can activate old or new visuals at any time with a click of a button, so that we can directly compare original assets at 320 x 200 resolution with new assets at a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160. Before this, StarCraft: Remastered also came with the same features.

Too bad EA still doesn’t have a release schedule for Command & Conquer Remastered. Some of the assets in the teaser video are also still not overhauled, and many bugs they still have to deal with.
