Classic RTS Is Back - Tempest Rising

[@Witzkatz-vd5pt]

That intro is a HUNDRED percent the vibe, tone and content from the Command & Conquer 1: Tiberian Dawn intro, in a REALLY GOOD way. These guys know what they love and the feel they want their game to have, I think.

[@alvinbonny1562]

Since they decide to not put command and conquer, we have CNC at home

[@314159265mangler]

100%

[@BrotherMunro]

This made me very nostalgic! Certainly an interesting one, I’ll be keen to give it a try when it releases

[@The-Caged-King]

This and broken arrow are two games I’m gonna be foaming at the mouth for until they release

[@GloriousOldGames]

I kinda wish I hadn't heard about them until they release, I feel like I've been waiting so long lol

[@wigdocter]

The sound of the tanks shooting and how they wiggle a little is really cool. Finaly as RTS worth my time.

[@Panzerbestie84]

This reminds me VERY much about the old C&C-games - with a bit of everything from all of them. Looking forward to see more from this. I really hope that games like this make a good comeback.

[@nikolaanicic3944]

Thanks for covering the game Stealth!

[@GloriousOldGames]

Music, gameplay, maps, unit types everything in this game is so solid man.

[@FalconDS9]

that "bot" got better target selection, priority switching and focus fire then most players xD even micros his low hp units to kite your ones into a bad position.. impressive.

[@rorylol]

I've been looking forward to this since the first demo. Looks great!

[@BecauseReasonsReviews]

Spiritual successor of the C&C series and I'm all for it.

[@SPIRIT-117]

I'm honestly surprised EA hasn't tried shutting this down

[@Squidgy55]

They would fail. Besides, they murdered the C&C franchise so if this game is huge, they only have themselves to blame.

[@awagnow]

how would they do that?

[@stratojet94]

Hope you’ve been doing well stealth 🎉

[@jekanyika]

Red Tiberium!

[@dehydrated_water1]

bit too arcady for my taste, its gonna be hard for it to compete with CNC 3 Kaneswrath

[@hannovonbahrenfeld5986]

It’s a solid ground to work on

[@dimasrahadian]

Tempest = Tiberium on steroids

[@themacker894]

Thanks. Added to my wishlist.

[@carpemkarzi]

My RTS PTSD just kicked in hard. Cool game, grad I can watch and not stress playing

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Bad memories?

[@hijous]

what rts game did you play previously?

[@mrh9635]

Can you tilt the camera? I remember in the demo you couldn't. Could be a deal breaker for me.

[@larsthedude1984]

Oh I am 100% HERE for THIS.

[@carlosavena6376]

and we are back to the 90's. Technically the re-used / re-vamped the entire audio queue from the Command and Conquer and Red Alert Series. Even the music. Is it WestWood back to business or somebody that used to work there?

[@m4r00123]

It's nice that it's there. Personally, I won't be playing this as I'm not a big fan of caffeinated ADHD pacing that expects me to maintain APM of a starcraft pro player

[@TurKlack]

How often have you heard "Classic RTS is back" in your life already? It's a dead horse.

[@rommi0]

Your voice reminds me of TotalBisquit and brings a feeling of nostalgia I cannot explain. Keep up your work!

[@INCDZONE]

Now that is a blast from the past TB still lives on with his videos on KZbin.

[@CritStanley]

Small thing really, but I don't suppose there's an ingame option for a horizontal hud?

[@TheKianykin]

Command and conquer successor?

[@tingkagol]

I found resource collection in Tempest Rising is a pain in the ass. The units cost too much imo

[@MyLifeFrAiurGaming]

Watch some guide by bikerush, helps

[@nizemee729]

Tiberium sun reborn!

[@rj1567_]

If you haven't maybe also take a look at the Supreme Commander games especially Forged Alliance. For me no RTS I have seen will ever come close to it.

[@FalconDS9]

have you tried BAR (Beyond all Reason) its a comunity project that builds uppon the supreme commander games. improves every aspect, especially performance and is completely free on their website.

[@proxybase6088]

Same. But i still enjoy the tempest rising demo and probably sink a lot of hours in.

[@FalconDS9]

try Beyond all Reason (BAR), its a comunity project that builds uppon supreme commander and improves its concept to 11. especially performance wise with hundrets of units on screen. its free, just search for it.

[@TheLtVoss]

That map size alone the amount of units and buildings with there specifics airborne hover land floating submersible and all in basically 3tech levels and a bonus economy level with experimental units that are kinda are hard too get and conter but at min having 25 t3 builders conver a huge landmass in energy and mass generation and storage was a valid tactic too get experimental units in a reasonable time frame also don't know if it is a bug or not but building units with the drawing tool could keep the blue print and well the builders will start with it as soon you move the unit under it😅

[@0oTornado]

After so many years of development they still suck at fixing building and tanks explosion

[@mgrillo2863]

so the king of rts is total annihilation, there was a so so sucessor called planetary annihilation, dont bother..but theres a newer one thats plays exactly like total but better in every way called BAR beyond all reason, googilate it, its free and awesome

[@bartvanpoppel22]

I am a ra2 fan from the early days, but the sounds of this are very weak or off, cannot describe it. It does not give the full vibe. Especially after playing Beyond All Reason recently, its miles ahead of this tittle.

[@ANDY1985UK2011]

Bit of a let down with no superweapons

[@drzooland8902]

yeah the bot is nothing to laugh about. If you stall too long they will overwhelm you

[@0oTornado]

Why call it tempest rising ? Just call it Red alert 3 definitive edition 😂

[@FreeMan4096]

too much of a Mobile Gaming presentation. I no longer accept this level of detail.

[@palpat8431]

That's neat and all, but Mental Omega started working on Act 3, I'll be sticking to that. For a more serious comment, so far from everything I've seen of this game I have not really gotten an impression of it having any sort of identity or personality, it's just a vague C&C clone with discount GDI and ripoff NOD. Nothing that's been released so far gives me any idea of what the vibes of these factions are, other than literally them being very watered down clones, there's vines instead of Tiberium and... okay? What am I supposed to get excited about? Memberberries? In my RTS?

[@hijous]

I mean, isn't that great? more cnc like game the better. ea doesn't do anything with their ip. so, let other make more cnc-like game. nothing wrong with that. fan being begging for the continuation for new cnc game for decade now

[@palpat8431]

​@@hijous cnc-like in the sense of classic RTS gameplay mechanics with new stories, narratives, original factions? Sure. Cnc-like in the sense of a cheap copypasta that lacks any identity of it's own and is entirely reliant on you knowing the original IP it is copying it's homework from to have any sense of appeal? No, that's terrible, it's lazy, cheap, boring. I mean I'll wait and see what the campaign is like for this game but from everything I've seen so far I'm not holding out for anything interesting. Much of this just feels like thirsty man in a desert begging for even dirty, contaminated water so long as it's something to drink. And fans stopped begging a while back and started MAKING, namely making mods that improve and enhance the original games they love, including making full on detailed single player campaigns. That's literally why I mentioned Mental Omega, a mod for Red Alert 2 + Yuri's Revenge, it forever ruined vanilla RA2 for me because Mental Omega is SO MUCH BETTER, it is an enhancement in every conceivable sense, the campaign is insanely good both in gameplay and storytelling, not that keen on the new faction, but I love the story behind it that is being unveiled in the campaign, which already has 100+ missions and the story isn't over. They've started working on ACT 3, and mind you, each faction has it's own side of the story for each Act so you get Act 1&2 missions for Allies, for Soviets, for Yuri's faction and it all comes together into a singular story, much like how Starcraft did their campaigns.

[@hijous]

@palpat8431 welp, more for me

[@Squidgy55]

​@@palpat8431I need to check that out. Thanks for the heads-up. 👍

[@kgeo2686]

This game I great but is very held back by the terrible customization options, controls, and rebind functionality.

[@Squidgy55]

Maybe full release will have better options.

[@screechowl4008]

I would be interested in this, but it looks way to chaotic and hectic. They didn't seem to give you a single second to start building anything or lean what those things do. I'm all for the challenge, but sheesh, give a second to learn what's what. Maybe I'm wrong but you said it when you said, "I'm doing so much defensive stuff that I can't push out".

[@hijous]

I assume you didn't play any classic command and conquer like red alert 2 or kane wrath. it's always been hectic and chaotic. collecting more resources efficiently, expanding and conquering is the key for the classic cnc.

[@screechowl4008]

@@hijous I actually did, a lot. Been playing games since the 80's, but I'm too old for that non-sense now. Looking for a challenge that develops.

[@hijous]

@@screechowl4008 pffft

[@Squidgy55]

He's probably playing on hard. I'm sure you could put it on easy to learn the ropes.

[@hijous]

@@screechowl4008 lol

[@Funnydz2]

*sigh* sick and tired of all the CnC clones... why cant we get new Tzar, Z, SupCom (not BAR), American Conquest or warcraft instead?
