The
Command & Conquer Remastered Collection launched in 2020 and is a loving remaster of 1995’s Command & Conquer and 1996’s Command & Conquer: Red Alert. With new HD visuals and remastered video, it's the definitive release of these classic RTS games. And it's currently 85% off on Steam.
This means you can pick it up for the low price of AUD 4.49.
As per
our review.
Command & Conquer Remastered Collection presents both titles as they were, with quality of life improvements and with new and impressive 4K assets (akin to the excellent work seen in both StarCraft: Remastered and Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition) - alongside fully remastered video and audio. Plus, a sizable suite of behind the scenes extras. All this talk of CD-ROMs and multimedia isn’t merely here to set the scene, but to highlight how Command & Conquer and the alternate history of Red Alert fully embraced the new CD-ROM format in the ‘90s. Which they did in a way that other RTS games didn’t, by realising right-away that addressing the player was, well, fun.
Being called “Commander” and seeing green-screened actors explaining the situation via hammy and over-the-top performances (especially in the case of Brotherhood of Nod leader Kane) accounted for a lot of Command & Conquer’s appeal. The b-movie setup found in the original games would go on to become something many associate with the series to this day. And for those with memories of CD-ROM-era strategy, firing up either of these classic C&C titles in 2020 is an exercise in pure joy.
So yeah, if you haven't picked this one up - now's the time!
