Any RTS bros tried this? To me it looks like C&C - Soy Edition but I wouldn't mind to be proven wrong.
>>1167146 I played the demo a couple weeks ago. Played 4 skirmishes and decided im not very interested. Thematically its a mix of Tiberium and Red Alert, but the gameplay takes a bit too much from starcraft for me to really like it. A bunch of the units have micro abilities. Presentation was very good, i might play the campaign at some point if a DL is thrown up.
>>1167146 i'd like to check it out cause i miss Command & Conquer, but i do wish there was a Scrin equivalent. the aliens and sci-fi stuff was part of why i fell in love with Kane's Wrath on the 360 as one of my first RTS games. it's a damn shame a whole generation of kids who only had Xbox One's and PS5's have had zero comperable exposure to the RTS genre. Battle For Middle-Earth 2, as well.

I was hoping D.O.R.F would become the next C&C https://store.steampowered.com/app/2388620/DORF_RealTime_Strategic_Conflict/ But it's stuck in some kind of development hell and probably not coming out in a long time if at all
>>1167146 I'm playing it. It's a mix between C&C and RA, something that can best be described as "we have C&C at home". feels bloated with the SC micromanagement and skill tree buildups for the ADHD clickers and the skirmish maps feel really lacking, only 2v2 and 1x1 maps? what the hell. OST is alright, can't go wrong with Frank. Feels a lot like a C&C 1 introductory game with all the introductions and conflicts, I think the off-brand tiberium plant thing is cute, I'm still just starting the game so I don't know about any big spoilers.
It's alright. Feels kinda soulless.
>>1168454 i also get "solid first entry in a series that doesn't wanna overextend itself' vibes from the trailers i've seen. limiting themselves to just the 2 factions and 4 player multiplayer is a very measured if not slightly underwhelming choice. i'm down to support it as a new IP in hopes they'll expand their scope with DLC, or a second game, though.
Like the other anons said, it's alright if you want "We got C&C at home" it's not gonna be the best RTS let along C&C like out there but as far a modern RTS games go it's a damn sight better than most of them
>>1167146 I played the demo sometime ago and it was pretty meh. It just doesn't have the same charm as the original c&c games with their funny FMVs.
>>1169494 are there other C&Clikes from recent memory that you would suggest instead?

As someone who has never played any C&C I just pirated it and am gonna try it out. Looks pretty cool.
>>1176502 >unreal for anything other than corridor shooter >clicking v-sync makes my mouse move like its on oil Bad start, I hate modern engines.
>>1167146 I played an earlier demo months ago and it felt like shit to control and the only available missions were the tutorial ones that hold your hand and don't let you do shit, really bad first impressions but I should give it another try.

Is the blue commander the welcome to the cum zone guy?
There was a demo? Looks like I missed it, it's not showing up on steam anymore. Does it have any daytime maps or is it all gloomy and brown/red like the screenshots show? I'm wary of that after Tiberian Sun tried to be too grimdark, I prefer more like the original C&C aesthetic.
At first I was upset there was a woman commander for the red guys, but then I realizes she's your secretary and I masterbated
Honestly I had fun. It's very campaign focused though the AI typically only attacks in one direction so any turtling at all makes you safe for the rest of the mission. It definitely was a disappointment for me but I also realize I had unrealistic expectations. For what it is, it's solid and unique enough on its own merits. It doesn't feel like a ripoff as much as a "fine I'll do it myself" nod to RTS in general. The GDF is a mixture of the Allies and Terran, actually, while the Dynasty is a mixture of Nod and the Soviets. Unit variety is almost too good, I think removing a couple units from each roster might have given the remaining ones more roles, but it definitely at least wants you to mix two types of units for your deathball instead of only tanks. Except that Drone Carriers are more powerful than any Protoss Carrier could hope to be. They are straight up OP.
I've played a bit of the GDF campaign and some multiplayer games. So far i'm enjoying it a lot. It gives me old school RTS vibes, but still feels modern and high quality. It could use some updates to fix some of the issues people are having, but it seems like the devs are already on it.

>>1219834 I also want to add that we only have 2 factions available right now, GDF and Tempest. Apparently there is a 3rd faction that will be added soon called Veti
I played the demo awhile back and it was alright, I'll give the full game a shot because it's been fucking 15 years since the last C&C game and 17 years since the last non-shit C&C game and I need something to scratch that itch a little besides some of the more recent games Petroglyph put out that were kind of iffy.
>>1219911 >third faction coming soon KINO
Does this have some cool villain personality like the CnC tiberium universe? I miss Kane, I miss the Brotherhood of Nod.
>>1219911 their reveal in the GDF campaign was really nice and well played, if a bit "basic" I don't know if they revealed them too soon, but I felt big KKND energy coming from them.

It feels both like a Love letter but also a "The industry needs a C&C" combo feel. Its not bad, just lacks a ton of character really. Unit voice lines wanna be like Red Alert 2 and C&C badly, but end up like Red Alert 1 and the base Command and Conquer, where they ARE there but it feels way too Generic. Disappointed to the FMV with using real actors has been done away and the CGI characters all feel bland, stiff, and boring. Gameplay is also ok, like what other anons said, GDF is Diet GDI, and Dynasty is Nod/Soviet combo without Kane or any real strong gimmick, outside of the weirdly Yuri type Harvesters and Grinder Plants GDF focuses on micro managing while Dynasty is pure strong and might with no real micro. Overall its a solid RTS but also kinda Bland, like a Dollar general version of Command and Conquer, but it DOES feel like they atleast are fans of C&C and are trying to make something in the spirit of it which I do like
>GDI vs Nod vs Aliens again Really?
>>1222938 I miss when it was Based Mad Men being the third faction that shook shit up
>>1222938 if it isn't broke, don't fix it!
I hated this felt like starcraft more than C&C
>>1224808 This The units and the visibility or readability was bad Everything has the stupid mandatory micro ability button that you have to click which adds nothing but tedium to the game T1 tanks look the same as t3 tanks, same size same shape same color I was looking forward to it until i tried it, they just completely missed what made c&c so fun
>>1225998 what would you say made C&C fun? I liked the theme of the game, it reminded me a lot of tiberian sun. but i agree, I hate the starcraft micro bullshit
>>1167146 I played only the demo. It's another C&C clone which is not interesting to me because I own all C&C and still play Generals ZH and Yuri's Revenge. It's be surprised and interested if one day we could get a new TA/SupCom-like instead of *another* not-StarCraft or not-C&C
>>1222938 >Terran vs Tos vs Zerg >Novus vs Masari vs Hierarchy >UCS vs LC vs Aliens >UEF vs Cybrans vs Seraphim 3 factions is just the optimal number for asymmetric RTS between variation and not delving into balance hell. And it's always a variation of Good vs Bad vs Odd
>>1227027 >UEF vs Cybrans vs Seraphim Bro forgot my illuminated Aeons...
>>1226750 >BAR >Zero K >Planetary Annihilation >Like 3 more titles in active dev There are way more SupCom than C&C clones around the fuck are you on about.
>>1227683 Dust Front Red Chaos 9bit Heroes Mass Conflict Global Conflagration
>limited number of skirmish maps >all bland symmetrical maps >4 players max Yeah that sucks ass. RTS games live and die on the skirmish content for me and this blows atm. I hope they address it with updates, otherwise I'll keep playing other games.
