15:36 Tiberian Sons is Frank Klepacki's band. Hardly something you can call a fan band. 17:08 Joseph Kucan actually _was_ kind of dragged in front of a green screen from behind a desk - he was originally at Westwood as a voice acting director. He had done voice acting, but C&C was his on-screen acting debut, IIRC.

-Actually, that particular music is credited to "Frank Klepacki *_and_* the Tiberian Sons". They are _not_ Frank Klepacki's band. They are a band that named themselves after C&C and did some C&C covers, but they are not a 'fan band', either; they do non-C&C stuff too. They teamed with Frank Klepacki for MAGFest 2019. They were asked to do the same cooperation again to record a studio album for the Remasters. -Joe Kucan was hired as _director_ for the live action FMVs, and to recruit a cast for them. Not as voice actor. I don't think he worked at Westwood prior to C&C. He is _not_ in the class of "employees who were already there, who were dragged into acting / voice acting" like Kia Huntzinger and Eric Gooch. Kia was a secretary at Westwood, and Eric was a graphics artist. But Joe was _specifically_ hired for his background in theatre, for the purpose of making the FMVs.

I'm really hoping EA got the message loud and clear that we want more of these games back, and that eventually we'll get a remaster of RA 2 and Yuri's revenge, Tiberean Sun and a proper Generals sequel.

When you said that Westwood didn't really invent RTS genre, that had a bad ring in my ear. I know that errors happen so I'm going to educate you a little bit about this. Westwood created Dune 2 way back before Warcraft and that game was really the true kickstart for the genre. There may have been some less know games with the same idea but Westwood with Dune 2 made it all more or less mainstream. It was so good that Blizzard copied the engine for Warcraft because they wanted to play Dune in multiplayer. This started a competition between these two companies and they created a hit after hit and all RTS fans can still enjoy those masterpieces. PS. I get the "Ratatouille effect" (the critic eats the food and gets a flashback from childhood) from the intro of C&C everytime. The sound effects and the Westwood logo are burnt Into my brain. May your legacy live forever Westwood Studios!

The lore is very interesting for these games, and it being a 90s game no other 90s game wanted to tell a story that this game told it was a first of its time and the lore still holds up somewhat, there are some retcons but its hard to know what's what, but it's still cool and interesting. I really hope they remaster red alert 2 and Tiberian sun. Also, id like to add that, Frank Klepacki remastered most of the tracks with most of his old equipment to get that old sound back but using a newer porting technique to get those HD sounds, the Tiberian suns and frank did the big rocky soundtracks like bigfoot, blow it up and grinder.

As has been mentioned before Westwoods Dune 2 was actually the first RTS as we think about em, and in many ways could be called the actual first C&C game on top of it given the similarities between it and early CNC games.
@Nyerguds
@Nyerguds 4 жыл бұрын
Oh, it literally is both. It's the first RTS game, by merit of the fact Westwood thought up the term "Real Time Strategy" to describe their game, and in their own newsletters from back in the day (printed and included in the games) they literally called Dune II the first game in their "Command & Conquer" series. More than three years before Command & Conquer itself even saw the light of day. edit: backing up my claim: i.imgur.com/Pi1HHUI.png

Doing my part to fulfill my KZbin missions by leaving this comment, and I just wanted to say I really loved this video, Jirard. There's something really nice about just seeing you do a video on a game because it's a game you enjoy and have a lot of personal attachment to. ESPECIALLY when it's a more niche game. I just love hearing KZbinrs talk about how much they like a particular game or series and I really felt that in this video. Nice work, dude.

Red Alert 2 Expansion: Yuri's Revenge remains probably my favorite entry in the series, it's just completely bonkers and by this point they had gone full on camp with it. You can still tell in the beginning the cornyness comes from sort-of sincere acting, especially in Tiberian Dawn.

I do not recall playing it as much as some of the others from this pile at my Dad's house, but he had these games in there for a reason, and I am willing to explore that reason 20 years later. It might not be as fresh as looking into the remastered collection, but it will be a fresh experience for me.

Fair warning to anyone checking out Dune II though, there's a load of clones out there, and I've seen many, many reviewers show footage of one of the clones thinking it was the original. The only allowable exceptions there are the OpenDune derivatives; OpenDune is actually a complete reverse engineering of the original game's source code, so it really does play 100% like the original game. OpenDune-derived projects like Dune Dynasty are probably the closest Dune II will ever come to a real remaster. (PSA: Unlike OpenDune, the OpenRA project is _not_ a reverse engineering of the original Red Alert, but a fan clone built completely from scratch.)

You should be careful with that "do the research" line; The Tiberian Sons are not Frank Klepacki's band, either. They're just a band that named themselves after Tiberian Sun, and did some covers of C&C tracks. Frank is _not_ a member of their band. The performances in the Remaster are credited to "Frank Klepacki *and* The Tiberian Sons"; it was a cooperation between them.
