The guy from twin peaks was in that red alert 2 video

Its time for a really good medieval 3. Maybe on a new engine too.

the best real time strategy ever!!

Every Friday "PC day"...play C&C across titles :). Skirmish vs AI , tons of fun. (Mainly Kane's Wrath but Generals is good.)

I personnally spend lot of money for PA when it was very early in his developpement. At the end the game had no more content than the pre-alpha, and they gave me 15% off for TITANS after i spend 90€ for PA...

Yes, and in 2020 aswell, and in 2021 aswell, and in 2022 aswell, and in 2023 aswell, and in 2024 aswell!

Hotkey a factory (or more) and all units produced are accessible via the hotkey WITHOUT the factory itself. Do you know how convenient and unique that mechanic was?!? No other RTS implements that!

God this takes me back. I remember playing this when I was a kid, probably the first RTS I ever played and definitely one of the best.

Ah, one of those reviews that shows the man didn't play at all back in the past in its prime.

Manor Lords is not released in full, in Early Access

I can't wait for Ratten Reich

reinstalled

I wonder how far it will get!

By children I hope you mean “children of NOD! 😎

It's too fast paced for me😢 I like rts that gas the pacing of warcraft and aoe

Bro wdym, the game soundtrack is what keep bringing me back again and again. Edit: lol scrolling through the comment, i think majority of people here all agree that the soundtrack is what made RoN so good

I remember the boneyards, and the multiplayer experience with the back and forth fighting for control over the planets. That was alot of fun.

Looks great. Better than stormgate and it’s only 2 ppl 😅. Cozy is the first word that comes to mind. Also heavily reminds me of Northgard which also feels cozy😊

I enjoyed TA's approach to the seperste campaigns. The PEEWEE is STILL my favorite unit and I build them in the quadrillions at the outset to pretect my bases. Their ability to track fire against targets means several targets may get hit by a burst, better than AKs in every way. It's another RTS where the sides are asymmetrical and it works so well its a shame it didn't go further.

Tib Sun was the most epic

Right... Because it's not Supreme Commander 2. It's Cybran Commander 1... Or whatever other title they should've come up with to be more honest with their playerbase. These downgrade "sequels" have got to stop, just rename the damn thing you greedy pigs, stop lying to your consumers.

Wher is Tech Annihilation?

I can remember to have finally received my planetary annihilation kickstarter goodies after 2 years of waiting

and now we have glorious B.A.R.

I don't see the point of automating everything when the game will be over in 60min! it needs to have some long running resource game like mindustry to work in my opinion.

what a nonstop whine, especially regarding skirmish mode. dow 2 applied the company of heroes formula and didnt want to be just another rts. dow 3 went full moba. i like the idea of occupying buildings and setting up my heavy weapons squads to guard resource points especially in harder difficultiers and larger maps like 2 vs 2

Damn? 1:32:00?? What a treat. You deserve more than 45k subs. I've watched every video since your Dark Reign retrospective and gone back and watched older stuff too.

We still need a 2nd remaster, Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2, COME ON EA!

i loved TA for supporting cross platform multiplayer way back when- I managed a group of desktop support techs at the university of chicago when this came out- many many MANY LAN games played in that support office :)

December 2024 now on the App store

This has to be the best video I have watched on DOW. The description and the analysis are just on point. Thank you for spending the time to make this!

C&C zero hour is the bast from this series and if they remastered this line of series would be great

Man, I remember hanging out on the TA Spring forums back in the late 2000s. Never really did much on there but it was my first online community that I hung out in. I remember poking abound the Balanced Annihilation threads and I didn't realize that BAR came directly out of that. Also really cool to see Chris Taylor talk about everything that he did. Great inspiration for any aspiring game designers.

Planetary annihilation was a mistake. The game Beyond all reason has shown us that a well refined and balanced game would’ve been preferred then colliding planets

Rat and Reich? Men and Lords? I think the auto-titling of the timestamps got a little drunk. (They're supposed to be "Rattenreich" and "Manor Lords".)

3 months in. That lemon is waiting.

TA was the best in its class. I played it all the time. When it first came out the developers would release a new unit every few weeks. It was so exciting! The community was massive. They created so many tools so that novices like me could create their own custom units. Most of us used a relatively new programme called Rhino 3d - which was a gateway into 3d modelling. The modding opportunities were off the scale! I never seen anything like it before or since.

I still play Tiberian sun to this day almost everyday , a remaster of it would truly be incredible.

Thank you. Just thank you.

It's a masterpiece, after 20 years I'm playing it again!

For me its the animation inconsistency, sometime its spot on, but most of the time the soldiers are really2 janky. Graphic... its good For sound i agree, the new one is better And for content we already got 4 factions ffs and its good. people expectation are always too high, while they don't know how hard it is making a content. and for UI... i prefer CoH 2 UI lol

Calling TA: Kingdoms "okay" is talking it up, tbh. At the time most players thought it was garbage. Leaving aside gameplay criticisms, doing an abrupt shift between a perceived science fiction setting into fantasy or visa-versa by default loses many fans who are distinctly uninterested in the genre change. More places need to realize this. Part of the dislike for SC2 rubbed off from TA:K. Bad history of making bad sequels.

It's not spending any real time on developing intricate maps, play turned it into a lane shooter. If I'm playing at 2 verse 2 or 3 verse 3 game, I want to fight over a full-scale battlefield, not literally three points on the map while ignoring everywhere else. The game mechanics were also poorly done. The cover system was an absolute joke and I don't know how they thought it would pass after how good the system was in company of heroes 1 and 2. Unit balance was also ridiculous. If I get five a salt Marine squads close enough to jump into 5 heavy Boulder squads, the assault Marines should win in close but that never happened. The game had potential and I eagerly awaited the next patch but instead relic just dropped it. And now in the age of review bombing I don't expect any innovative games to come out anymore. Total War 40K is my only hope

I remember it :(

Oh wow, Celldweller is cool enough to allow youtubers to use his music? Well that’s pretty cool of him.

Because it's not Total Annihilation

Sorry, BAR is it and Supreme Commander wants it’s accolade back as Planetary Annihilation just didnt cut it.

Good day gentlemen I am from the future I have good news

only covid can save this game If you take a look at the recent Steam product details of the series you can read 2024 I think for now there's no multiplayer

I haven't found any game that tops supcom fa
