[@Praya5]

As a long time fan of C&C since Westwood, I'm glad that all of this is available on Steam yet livid at the fact that it needs community support. It is like showing up to McDonalds for a cheeseburger but you only get the bare ingredients and the wheat must be made into flour before baking into the bread for the bun.

[@SavagePatch115]

Amazing analogy

[@noddy1973]

It's still EA

[@ban1st]

Who the f eats at MCDONALD'S?!

[@samikazbe]

I wouldn't that upset about it. Look at what they did with the Remaster of batlefront. A real mess. Where with CnC, you install and get the Community patch and it works like a charm

[@Lukebob8]

Same, ESPECIALLY since they coupdve easily told all of the modders ahead of time so they couldve fixed their mods before the steam launch. Like all the servers are run by fans, dont you want multiplayer to work on them so more people see a reason to by the games?!

[@Z31Turbo]

While, I realize it's not perfect, I'm quite happy with this. If it gets C&C in the eyes of more people and lets EA know people are interested in this franchise still that will be great. This is one of the few times I'm happy to speak with my wallet, so I bought it again on steam even though I already have it.

[@VicklessFalcon]

There is a review on the Red Alert 2 Steam page that explains how to buy the game individually outside of the bundle

[@hughwoodford]

problem is the bundle is cheaper than buying the games seperately lol

[@a.trance6997]

@@hughwoodford It's not tho. There's a reason that post was made.

[@nights8880]

a link would be appreciated

[@GauntletWizard]

@@hughwoodford The bundle shows a "Discount off the games you already own", and is less than $10 for me

[@mjc0961]

@@a.trance6997 It depends. For me the bundle was cheaper, because I owned all of the games that were already on Steam. My price for the remainder of the bundle was $5.18, buying the games individually would have been a lot more than that. Of course that further depends on what you want, I wanted all the games so of course the bundle makes sense. If you only want 1 or 2 games then the bundle isn't cheaper (better hope you never change your mind and want more games later though). Everyone will have to figure out what they want and the cheapest way to get it themselves.

[@MikeDep]

What will really make the steam release amazing is if they add steam workshop support so all the mods and community patches can be added into one easily accessible and useable place.

[@froireier]

Generals/GZH has GenLauncher atleast For Yuri's Revenge, we on our own.

[@BucketBoatable]

Yeah, I was about to comment something like that. If the games worked out of the box and had workshop, I'd get them. at least the price is reasonable, but I don't see much of a reason to get it. I own two physical copies of the First Decade and all the newer ones other than Twilight on steam btw. (+ physical cnc3, KW, ra3, ra3 exp) BTW everybodys meming on Bethesda re-releasing Skyrim a milion times, when CnC games got rereleased more times, usually even with no changes.

[@samikazbe]

CnCnet patch for YR. It's two clicks...@@froireier

[@VitZ9]

​@@BucketBoatableMaybe because some of these games are over 25/30 years old? Where as Skyrim is like 10 years old at best, and still has more rereleases than classic C&C. 🙄

[@BucketBoatable]

@@VitZ9 correct me if I missed anything: skyrim has 3: legendary(orig release), special, aniversary legendary to special brought with it significant upgrades to the engine. cnc1 has at least these, as far as I know: original, first decade, tuc all of these are literally the same game.

[@Tetsu9701]

I just want to be able to play RA2:YR and Generals:ZH online without using 3rd party servers for 2 reasons. First, I have a family member who I grew up playing the games with but isn't too keen on 3rd party private server hassle. Two, the online portion of the games are unintentionally gate kept because most people are not willing to jump through the hurdles making it so usually only the most hardcore (skilled) players are online ready to tear you apart.

Use hamachi and play using LAN mode

[@Tetsu9701]

@@abangcc Thats what I am trying to avoid.

[@Tyretes]

when you said every command and conquer games, i instantly hit the steam store to check if it included c&c generals/zero hour, and it did. FANTASTIC, they have it included. its one of my favourite c&c when i was a kid.

[@davidhytha9828]

Same.

[@FizzleFX]

10:28 TW Yuri remastered? I'd kill for that!!

[@naksachaisaejane1982]

If there's the second collection, it'd be tib SUN(TS), red alert 2, and their respective expansion, firestorm and Yuri's revenge.

[@Aliothale]

C&C 3 + Kanes Wrath and Red Alert 3 + Uprising all crashed/hung upon changing resolution on first launch, but worked after the second launch. Thank the lord for 30fps Low Frame Compensation technology on my monitor though, playing Kane's Wrath with Gsync and no input lag feels amazing. I really hope we get more C&C Remasters, that first one was a day 1 buy and the only EA game I've bought in over a decade. We need these games to run at 120fps nowadays and I only hope to see EA continue C&C support for passionate remasters.

[@Thedrunkenswede1337]

No we dont 60 fps are all we need for games like this. 120 fps on games like this litterly makes 0 difference.

[@UsernamehereCustoms]

8:24 I suppose it's keeping up with tradition. Fresh, final-build screenshots would be nice for consistency, but to be fair I have some physical copies of the original 2000 big box retail release of Red Alert 2, and they have screenshots from non-final builds on them, too. So in a way I'm glad the Ultimate Collection is authentic to the series in that regard.

[@OneSybert]

Makes sense when you have the physical production of a game box, but I don't think the Steam page should consist only of pre-release screenshots.

[@mjc0961]

I have to disagree. It's authentic to a few very niche people, to everyone else it's just false advertising. Only screenshots from the final game should appear on the store page. It's all digital, there's no excuse. The reason you saw non-final builds on game boxes back then was box design was finalized and sent off for printing before the game was done. That's not a limitation anymore.

[@conscript900]

Now we are just waiting for the Mod Makers to get set up for steam compatability!

[@Hand_of_NOD]

I still have have the First Decade disk, but for all these years I never got any CnC game from Origin. This is the first time I learned that the early games are Freeware. So thats info Ill use in the future. But a definite consequence of me never interacting with groups/fandoms online. I'm so happy that the collection is on steam. I literally grew up playing CnC and I'll happily have another copy of these games. I'll play them the same way I always did; alone and in my own head. Scratches an itch like no other games do. Thank you for delivering this news to me. ❤

[@BinaryKiller_Recoded]

I don't care what anyone says, Generals and Zero Hour deserves a remaster :(

[@QuantumNova]

It's coming eventually. They must do Tiberium Sun and Red alert 2 first. They're going in order I think.

[@BinaryKiller_Recoded]

@@QuantumNova I hope they are not waiting like another 30 years tho

[@ivan55599]

Finally they did something (almost) right. Almost, because if they would have allowed this earlier, there is possibility that there would have been higher player counts.

[@singapore_de]

Thank you Sybert and all players for keeping this awesome series alive and kicking!

[@Wobble2007]

One more thing, I'd love to see an "ultimate" GOG release of Red Alert 2, complete with up to 8K & 4:3/16:10/16:9/21:9 aspect ratio's, built-in super scaling, which increases internal rendering resolution (Red Alert 2 looks immaculate @ 8 times its max native resolution), upgraded audio, either MIDI 2.0 or PCM 32-Bit 384Khz, AI remastered cutscenes with pixel repetition to get them as close to clean HD video as possible, scanlines will also increase video fidelity perception, and lastly, perhaps a new challenge mode, akin to the awsome C&C General challenge mode, and a half dozen+ new army units for each army faction.

[@nox4000]

RA2, Tib Sun and ZH are the best C&C games. Would love to play a remaster of any of these!

[@nuruddinshah684]

Dude thank for the fix's I KNEW I NEEDED SOMETHING To make my game work....

[@robertphelps1829]

Got jagged text and graphics in red alert 2 on steam? Press shift+F11 when in main menu in game and change graphics filter from point to bilinier - this will make it look normal

[@petrusjnaude7279]

As someone who doesn't really use the EA App, I am quite glad that this is now available on Steam. I agree with a lot of your points about the fact that you need 3rd party fixes to get the games running being a hassle, but I am overall really had since I lost most/never had many of these games. So I am very happy.

[@-Raylight]

Happy to see TUC finally is on Steam. But there are no fixes or qol patches, so that sucks

[@VitZ9]

There actually are a few behind the scenes changes done to get the games working on modern OS without compatibility issues. But that's about it. They changed enough to get the games to launch, but not enough to work flawlessly without community fixes. At least they did something I guess? 🤷‍♂️

[@samikazbe]

I am very happy about this. Glad that it's on steam and I don't have to bother with EA app anymore. Also happy that they just put back like the original. Yes, we need community patch to play online but better than if they started to patch a break stuff.

[@Guillidan]

So, I was able to use the CD-Keys of Red Alert 3 and Uprising from the Ultimate Collection bought on EA Origin storefront, to activate both games in my Steam Library. I haven't tried this for Generals and Zero Hour, though.

[@melonelon7590]

I hate how EA just let the community do the fixing in their games. Well its EA, what can you do. Thank you to cncnet.

[@GundamFireStorm]

I think I personally Have purchased Command and Conquer six or seven times each! CnC 95 and covert ops - two times for the PC, N64, The First Decade, The Ultimate collection (origin), Remastered, The Ultimate collection (steam) and Open RA Red Alert plus Counterstrike and aftermath - Once for PC, The First Decade, The Ultimate collection (origin), Remastered, The Ultimate collection (steam) and Open RA Tiberian Sun and FireStorm - Once on PC, The First Decade, The Ultimate collection (origin), The Ultimate collection (steam) and the freeware version - Just to get it to work, but then 3 weeks later the Steam version launched. Renegade - Twice on PC - The First Decade, The Ultimate collection (origin), The Ultimate collection (steam) Red Alert 2 and Yuris Revenge, Once on PC, The First Decade, The Ultimate collection (origin), The Ultimate collection (steam) Generals and Zero hour - Once on PC, The First Decade, The Ultimate collection (origin), The Ultimate collection (steam) Tib wars and Kanes Wrath - The Ultimate collection (origin), Steam, The Ultimate collection (steam) Red Alert 3 and Uprising - The Ultimate collection (origin), Steam, The Ultimate collection (steam) Tib Twilight - The Ultimate collection (origin), The Ultimate collection (steam) Boy, I feel bad for mocking people who have purchased Skyrim Multiple times. Now... How many times have I purchased Starcraft?... Well, you see...

[@mancman-bu4kz]

Just bought this yesterday!! I have the remastered already, my first rts ever, (along with warcraft 2) love rts and old school shooters like doom duke nukem etc, kid free weekend this week so beer steak & retro gaming for me...

[@andrewzolotarev2359]

The funniest thing is even if you buy CnC 4, you can't play it. It can be played only while connected to server, but the servers are closed for like 10 years.

[@funzoneKW]

You can, just the log in is really buggy and doesn't work half the time lol. Played it today.

[@prezlamen7906]

The only logical question is why? Why would you play that crap?

[@Bullminator]

What is cnc4? Nobody knows....

[@ZuKuPLayer]

I honestly don't know what to think about it. Part of me wants to buy ultimate collection on Steam, but another side wants me to wait, see, and believe we'll receive more remasters. First two were done exactly how remasters should work. With great care and appreciation of fans. I want more of that please instead of having broken titles which need patching, stupid!

[@mjc0961]

I'm very mixed about all this. On one hand I'm very very happy to be able to have these games on a digital platform where I'm not constantly worried about being banned for no reason. There's so many Origin/EA App horror stories out there. On the other, they definitely should have done more work to get every one of these games functional "out of the box," at least the single player campaigns. I don't expect them to get new official servers running for multiplayer or to go to the same lengths as the community improvements for the campaigns - something like "Zero Hour works but is locked at 4:3" is fine if Zero Hour was originally locked at 4:3 (didn't play it when it was new, I don't know). "Renegade launched but I couldn't leave the menu" is not fine, obviously. I love Command & Conquer, I'm glad to see these games get new attention, and to be free from the EA App. But the quality of these releases sucks. If it was any other franchise I'd be livid at the state of this release. If the discounted price after account for games I already had wasn't just $5 I don't know if I'd be able to be so neutral about this. I've been angrier about and refused to buy other games for less (although they also cost more, too). Look EA just give us Remastered Collection 2.

[@gloriousrobotbunny3275]

every time i see more cnc i just get sad cnc generals 2 would have been fucking awesome. and i am so fucking angry it didnt happen

[@Dyna1One]

"No reason you should set your expectations for a remaster, ever." Too late. No but for real though, I'm not planning on getting it on steam right now, as I also have my physical copies and TUC on EA but I think if they were to actually work on a new game I would to support it.

[@darkcyter]

Was waiting when you'll talk about it 😄

[@stefanochiriaco6175]

Tiberium Sun and red alert 2 don't even play on full screen! You have to edit generals files to make it full screen.

[@BlackFoxLeather]

Whyyyy does this always happen to me!? I just bought Red Alert 3 to play gen evo full price. Cool that it's on there tho! Love your gaming voice over Sybert!

[@Wobble2007]

Crazy to think EA has the keys to the biggest PC IP there is (C&C is to PC what Mario is to Nintendo), and yet they are just wasting it, not only that, apart from a few great smaller RTS games, there is nothing on the scope of the main C&C games, what are they doing lol, they need to get Creative Assembly and the former Westwood guys involved and make Generals 2, or Red Alert 4, or even just start fresh and call it Command and Conquer, I'd like to see a cell shaded C&C game with animated 90s style cutscenes and synth music, make it a 90s period game with Britain and America vs Russia & China just after the Cold War ended, you can add other countries and their armies in expansion packs or DLC packs.

[@Tetsu9701]

8:00 Wait, you can play online with other people right out of the box with Steam??

[@AlexNovakim]

Very useful video, thank you! Also I had updates for ra2 and ra3 on origin when the collection released on steam, I hope they didn't break those too

[@loneliberation3483]

You only just found out about this? Been out a week, guy.

[@AlguienEnSuCasa]

One of the advantages of the individual games, is that you can get it in languages other than english, I know I can patch C&C3 and RA3 to my language, but would be nice to play previous games also in my language, playing C&C Generals in my language automatically sets me to my childhood Edit: Srr, my english listening is not perfect, did you say that EA App people can't play online with Steam people?

[@OneSybert]

Yeah adding languages is definitely great, but just goes on the list of things that EA should have done 12 years ago. That's been fixed now, there was a bug where people couldn't match, but that's no longer the case.

[@AlguienEnSuCasa]

@@OneSybert Match in what case?, do you mean online is officially back? PD: Love your channel, I do view all your videos, love how yo comments the gameplays, and say "Demon!", I just don't comment XD

You can play online. It takes some work to go through all the steps, but yes you can play online.

[@randomxgen6167]

Honestly, until we actually get something more than re-re-releases of old products, I can't see this as anything more than EA trying to figure out what IPs it still has that's worth monetizing. They tried reviving command and conquer years back, first trying to sell us the random mobile game, before eventually releasing remastered version of the first two games. Then they did nothing with the franchise, until now when they've released the "please buy it again edition." I don't see a reason to care about the franchise until an actual new product comes out. Until then, there's plenty of other things to spend money on.

[@zachary7136]

As much as I hate having to tinker and tinker to get my favorite games from my youth working, I do have to say some of the quality of life added by the community almost makes me want to say it's worth having to use community tools. I'm sure if EA was to actually update CNC games to not need a pitstop before they can drive, then they would do the absolute bare minimum.

[@MrE30]

@OneSybert can I ask why you think Tiberium Sun won’t perhaps get a remaster in possibly the second phase? Just curious and a massive fan of it as I grew up in that era and was the last time I kinda had a pc.

[@OneSybert]

*If* they do another remaster I assume they'll do TS and RA2, but I am extremely skeptical that another remaster will actually happen. There's definitely a will from people who worked on the TD/RA remaster, but I'm not sure if it's a project that will be greenlit by EA.

[@DaGameTrain]

Frankly, as someone who hates EA and especially their store (what is it again, Origin?), the collection is a great way to get a hold of games in the series that were out of reach until now. Here's hoping they fix the issues you've mentioned, but knowing EA I'm not holding my breath.

[@ALFABETAS999]

[@notarealfirstnamenotareall746]

I own a lot of the physical copies thanks to a big box omnibus set I bought after picking up Firestorm at a garage sale because the name sounded cool. Only played the OG C&C through the N64 though. Not going to buy the omnibus series as I already own everything I need to, and physical copies are the best. Between the disks, external hard drives, and old usb sticks I have with the games downloaded they arent going away if one day EA/Steam decided they dont want me to "own" the digital versions anymore.
