>>1092658 Yeah it is one of those rare moments where EA didn't suck balls.

>>1092682 Gonna be cool to see what people make with this. I've had the RTS itch lately but OpenAOE seems to be dead now.

>>1092787 >Gonna be cool to see what people make with this Definitely. I hope they one day can release the code for Red Alert 2 as well. >I've had the RTS itch lately Yeah I've been trying out random command and conquer mods for all the games. Those have been pretty hit or miss. Not that many were terrible, just that the changes they include usually managed to really annoy me at some point.

>>1076465 That would only have happened if Dead Space 2 remake did, and then an alternate Dead Space 3.

>>1093096 RA2 Source Code was lost I believe so unless there's some luck with someone finding it on a garage sale/ thrift store, it ain't happening.

>EA releases source code >baits modders and autist to give new life to their IP >??? >profit?

I never got to play Renegade online as I didn't have broadband at that time, but I did play the multiplayer skirmishes with bots a bunch, I liked the RTS elements. Are there any other games that have you play as a unit on the ground of an RTS game?

>>1096370 >I never got to play Renegade online You still can either with the Tiberian Technologies patch or using the third party W3D launcher. There is usually a full or at least semi full server going on depending on when you decide to play. >Are there any other games that have you play as a unit on the ground of an RTS game? Some that I remember: >Natural Selection 1 and 2 >Nuclear Dawn >Executive Assault 1 and 2 >Empires (Mod) >Tremulous >Renegade X (fan remake of renegade) >Renegade X Firestorm (not released yet) >Renegade W3D (has several mods for Renegade (RA1 and TS for example) to play with and adding RA2 soon) >Savage XR >Silica (Early Access) >Battlezone 98 redux >Angels Fall First (Early Access) >Gates of Hell Ostfront (more of an rts but it let you take direct TPS style control of units) >>1093602 Yeah, an anon can dream though.

>>1103011 Oh and Attack on Toys if you want your plastic army men games.

Suspiciously generous of EA, what's the catch?

Have there been any news about projects starting up from the code release? I wanted to replay RA 1 & 2 on Linux but OpenRA is not really good for campaign play. >>1109512 It's been posted in the thread.

>>1110161 Back when they first posted the code, I wandered around looking at some modder communities and it seemed like it will be a while before they can unpack and understand everything enough to start fixing long standing issues and then making improvements/etc.

>>1144762 Too much fanfictiony stuff

>>1074913 >GPL license absolutely based, another win for RMS

>>1223414 last rise of the reds update was 10 years ago

>>1074913 Developing AI for these RTS games is really complicated, they wouldn't be doing this if they didn't have some kind of next gen breakthrough with machine learning models for the AI which makes all the old manually programmed ones obsolete.

>>1231621 AoE2 has AI that will beat your fucking ass into the fucking shadow realm and it was developed before machine learning was a thing.

>>1075167 >Just crash every other game bro no, I don't think I will

>>1244755 You mean beyond actual cheats?

>>1075211 >but then skipping Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 makes me feel like they were possibly remastering/doing something with them at a later date. >Though again, it is possible they just don't have that code anymore. if they don't have the code anymore that makes it even more unlikely they remaster it >>1075216 EA hasn't been so bad in recent years. You could also say they don't really do anything at the moment. They gave the ok to the Skylords devs to revive Battleforge as a fan project. Wild Hearts currently gets ported to Switch2 without any association with EA (assuming they let them have the IP) Josef Fares defended EA (but to be fair all of his games were a success, maybe he changes his mind after he fails expectations)

>>1244755 That's just because it literally cheats resource gains and can see through fog of war.

>>1254187 Actual player data and base logic. It only reacts to found information from scouting and tries to raid/build compositions to counter what you make when it sees you having certain units. It doesn't blind counter you but it does pull underhanded tactics and tends to flank a lot. Very deadly in open maps with its infinite micro ability. Doesn't cheat any resources, it's just that good and you can check such a thing on replays.

GET IN, ANONS!

>ubisoft deleting games >EA preserving them That sure was a curve ball but it's official, EA has redeemable qualities and now Ubislop is objectively one of the worst gAAAy companies.

>>1075101 In the balls.

>>1096370 spartan total warrior. made by total war team. Some levels has you get strategic scripted objectives from some general figure. Though its mostly historically inaccurate hack and slash. And a great one at that.

>>1290148 >Those masses of enemies >Those brutal as fuck sound effects >Thinning out those hordes >The enemy infighting >Charging with your fellow soldiers >That ominous as fuck Roman invasion setting >Singling out an annoying as fuck stronger enemy with your ultimate attack >That orchestral war choir soundtrack mixed with techno by Jeff Van Dyck Playing it emulated on my PC at 4K and a table 60FPS is a fucking dream. The amount of talent the industry had back then is unheard of today, totally squandered to sell absolute crap to retardes plebs, such a shame. I wantto give Viking Battle for Asgard a try, but the 30 FPS lock puts me off.

>>1096370 >Are there any other games that have you play as a unit on the ground of an RTS game? Almost the entire Musou series, R&F:C@W, Brutal Legend, the SpellForce series, and the Pikmin series to an extent.

>>1255564 they just shut down codemasters and delisted leisure suit larry games which codemasters had the rights to.

Kinda late when OpenRA is better in most cases.

>>1296090 >they just shut down codemasters Oh shit really? Thank God, no longer are they parading their corpse.

>>1296090 >delisted leisure suit larry games Bro just wanted to score. They didn't have to do him dirty like this

>>1096370 Does the Pro Evolution Soccer (on Wii) count? You technically play it more like an RTS than a classic divegrass sim, but you can also control an individual unit depending on the control schemes. Heck you can have two players co-op acting as the individual players for tactics and the team as a whole for strategies. Really underrated games, by the way, completely different from modern sportshit
