Command & Conquer(Remastered)....

While I have no interest in the C&C Rivals mobile game it's release made me think there was little hope of reliving past RTS glory in newer iterations of the franchise. That view may still be true, but the remaster of C&C and RA have been way better than I expected. Remasters done right! Bringing hope for the future....  

Each iteration is it's own thing, I get it. A C&C game today will be and have different elements/mechanics to suit it's intended audience and/or release platform. If not for the remasters I'd be complaining about franchises not moving forward with their own already built in fan/player base; But that's a cross platform, cross media thing in this day and age.

For me the remaster was a surprise. As details were released the hope and wish that they 'don't fúck it up' was turned into excitement; Learning of the additional 'behind the scenes' content brought hype. The Nostalgia is strong for me....

While I had 'talked myself down' from getting the remastered edition; The proof of the pudding was in the eating... And now it's on sale on Steam....And I got it.

Seeing and 'knowing' it in person was a massive hit to the nostalgia system. The fact that the vast majority of my old saves still worked was a big factor in that! (Correction re wrong version - I'm confused a.f.on that score). All of it on my main game library/platform(Steam) at half price (€9.99); how could I say no. So I got it. I'm still an 'own it' PC gamer. While I'm just about over not owning a physical copy of software I'm nowhere near games as a service outside of MMO's. 

Anyway, Command and Conquer Remastered(C&C and RA with lots of goodies); More to see, more to do, lots of fun still to be had!
