Wow, the cut-scenes for this game looks amazing!...Great video as always Bro!, you cover some of the coolest games!

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Thank you dude, I like to try and highlight games that need some love or that we forgot we used to love. This one has amazing potential and the cut scene was phenomenal! Thanks for watching.

[@adamantiumbomb]

@@HoundlanderGaming Wow, that was all a Demo, good stuff! 👍👍

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Yep! Very excited for the full game!

[@5to9Gaming]

Awesome!!! 🔥

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Thank you lads!

[@skmed83]

The game looks and sounds like it's pretty legit. Good work! 🔥

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Its awesome man! Can't wait for full release!

[@spartan362kauten8]

I’m already loving this. I just purchased the deluxe edition can’t wait but there is one thing that is missing.. I wish they brought in naval battles and naval units! 😩.

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Yeah, I don't think we are going to get it in the base game but it could be a possibility in the future. Its a bit strange to not have naval units, even if the universe isn't designed for it they could throw in some amphibious vehicles and some rivers to flank etc

[@BelowAverageGamer87]

Stunning.. Great stuff Hound

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Thank you mate

[@TheCrazyrace]

EA wait for too long to remake/remaster their C&C Generals series. So someone else do a fresh new series with almost same vibe and even better graphics. And this project is one of milion disasters of EA mega corp. and thats you keep dying.......... SAD story, probably same endin like with Ubi(shit)soft

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Yeah you are right, the problem with these companies is that they aren't happy to just make a profit, they only want to make a huge profit. They would rather not bother making a game if it will only earn them $10m they want $500m. What they don't realise is that 50 $10m profit games is still $500m profit. They are blinded by their greed.

[@ProthetOriginals]

Im definitely getting the demo when I eventually get this we gonna have to have a game bro

[@HoundlanderGaming]

for sure man! we will have a bash on the demo as well before it finishes, think its on till 3rd Feb!

[@ProthetOriginals]

@@HoundlanderGaming right downloading now!!!!

[@RobinvdTube]

I'm so hyped! Gonna get myself a new pc just for this game =D Do you know what rig i need to play this in 4k? I could just go for the best parts for my new rig but if it's overkill i might aswell go for parts that are less expensive and give the 4k glory =D

[@HoundlanderGaming]

I don't think you would need anything extreme to run this In 4K, the recommended specs aren't high at all my friend. I ran this in 1440p and the fans didn't even kick in 🤣🤣 I'm hyped for this one too! Thanks for watching 🤘

[@RobinvdTube]

@HoundlanderGaming Thanks for replying! 😁 What kind of rig do you run?

[@HoundlanderGaming]

@RobinvdTube 32gb ddr5 ram, AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, GeForce RTX 4060 and TUF B650M mobo. My rig is quite basic in terms of gaming PC's and yet the only game I haven't been able to run on Ultra settings 1440p was the new Indiana Jones game, which still looks epic on low settings 🤣

[@RobinvdTube]

@@HoundlanderGaming Cool! 😎 Thanks for sharing the info! 💪👍

[@HoundlanderGaming]

No problem buddy!

[@DorkyDadGaming]

First off...the intro could be a freaking movie, that was great! Really loving this game man. Visuals are awesome, environments look great and gameplay is spot on. Loving the RTS love on the channel brother!

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Yeah that intro was next level, really set the bar high! There's going to be a full campaign on the game, if that's anything to go by then we are in for a good time. I'm gonna keep pushing with the RTS I love it!

[@juleswombat5309]

I am surprised you won that match through Turtling your Base as GDF. In my Games on the other small map, even on Easy the Dynasty will typically overrun your base, if you don't get out to engage & expand early. Note that Beacon, on the Left Menu, That gives you the Option to Build Small Base, anywhere on the Map. So Expanding to a new Base without taking an MCV out, or capturing a Sat Base etc. The game is a bit too much complicated Units/Doctrines, Add On s etc and the Zoom out level is not enough. But I will still be buying the game.

[@HoundlanderGaming]

This was my third match and I was overrun in the first 2 by trying to leave the base too soon, I thought the AI had me on this one as well. Shocked I got the win to be honest. I'm really impressed with the game and they still have 2 months left to tweak things. Thanks for watching 🤘

[@Duanemarvelmadsupport]

This really does look dam good. Great video my friend 😊

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Thanks mate!

[@andylau6917]

upgraded version of Red Alert 2

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Yep! Feels like a red alert/Generals hybrid. EA's loss will be this studios gain if they play their cards right.

[@Ariya_amiri]

command & conquer 2025

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Pretty much feels that way! I'm not complaining, I can't imagine what EA would do to a 2025 Command & Conquer game.

[@Nick_5to9gaming]

This looks fun, great video!!!

[@woodenman999]

Hello friend. Would you show a video about the other upcoming rts game called ( red chaos the strict order) also inspired by c&c. in steam there is a Demo to download. The game looks really good. Thank you

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Already recorded and being released later on today my friend, Global Conflagration also tomorrow. If there are any others, dont hesitate to ask buddy!

[@woodenman999]

Wow so fast answer. You are really cool. Looking forward for the video ❤

[@HoundlanderGaming]

I try my best to get back to everyone as fast as I can! Thank you for watching 🤘

[@DynamightHarry]

Worth picking up or not?

[@HoundlanderGaming]

1000% it's amazing mate, try the demo, has skirmish and MP.

[@DynamightHarry]

@@HoundlanderGaming Nice Ill check it out, reminds me abit of Command and Conquer

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Mix of generals and tib wars for me

[@juleswombat5309]

This is just a demo. Playable until Feb 5th. Then the full version comes out in late April. Pretty well worth it.

[@CaptainRuggels]

Definitely Command and Conquer Vibes for this. Gonna be interesting to see how this progresses

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Not long to wait and see, looks like it's all but completed. Really excited for it.

[@CaptainRuggels]

@ I was talking about the video but yes, the game lmao. I like how this plays

[@HoundlanderGaming]

[@AwesomeAverageDude_86]

is 200 units really the maximum cap?

[@HoundlanderGaming]

It appears to be so on the skirmishes at least, it's still quite a vast army but I had to heavily rely on turrets to help out. I hope that bigger maps will have a higher cap.

[@AwesomeAverageDude_86]

@ 200 is today very limiting i think, those limits we had back in the late 90 and earlie 2000's, yet even then some games had more. well we will see, if there is a chance that we can go higher then 200, im in!

[@HoundlanderGaming]

I expect some changes before release, to be honest 200 didn't feel too limiting on maps of this size, but if there are going to be bigger ones, which I expect there will be then it needs a bigger cap. Fingers crossed on this one.

[@waltersimmons9512]

@@AwesomeAverageDude_86 it seems 200 is really hard to reach judging by the video

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Yeah the unit cost is lower than I would expect on other RTS games, I didn't get near the 200 and I had a considerable force.

Epic mate!

[@abdou4jp]

Looks like the game I am ok to throw my money on unconditionally! Add to that, the music is reminiscent of Prince of Persia Warrior Within! Even better!

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Yeah it's awesome! The music was epic!

[@juleswombat5309]

The Music is by Frank Klepacki. The same Music maker as the original C&C series. They hired him, to reproduce a similar vibe.

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Thank you for that info Jules, that's great to know! I really enjoyed the music, I was certain it would be copyright protected and prevent my video from being visible, it's a great sign that it isn't, it means the developers want to work with the community in my experience.

[@BrianRazzano]

Yes! Well done my friend. Hope all is well. Thank you for sharing :)

The game seems good but the controls and rebind functionality are HOT GARBAGE.

@HoundlanderGaming strategy building RTS games are so much fun but required so much time and effort

[@HoundlanderGaming]

Yeah man, even a simple match is an hour gone. It's hard to even start one up at times 🤣

@HoundlanderGaming yup and rss farming is real pain once we reach at Certain level building and all upgrades take months to complete 🤣

this is the exact same game as Command and Conquer with better graphics....

Its is definitely a spiritual successor, i think the campaign and lore might be where it really separates itself though.

Thanks for sharing your opinion 🤘

[@mobileplayers5008]

Nuub haters

[@Falorik]

to be honest, it looks super lame and its not nearly what I expected. Blurry, undetailed graphics, one dimensional gameplay

[@HoundlanderGaming]

That's your opinion and of course you are entitled to it buddy. I am really impressed personally. Have a nice day 🤘

[@jacksheldon8566]

Try global conflagration. (Tempest rising graphics is fine if you know which option to activate and deactivate... It's UE 5.)

[@HoundlanderGaming]

I'll check it out Jack, thanks!

[@mehryar.]

Tempest rising is actually the most graphically pleasing RTS I have ever seen. It's UE5 and units are incredibly detailed.

[@HoundlanderGaming]

I fully agree with you!
