J4MES OX4D 9,798 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Anyone a fan of these games? I probably haven't played any of the classics for almost two decades but have fond memories of them. Generals was probably my favourite as it was a more authentic military-based one with some really fun weaponry and missions. Never got round to the Zero Hour expansion which I am now eager to play. I'm kinda itching for the collection to go on sale on Origin so I can swoop the lot and am interested in trying Red Alert 3 plus Kane's Wrath too. C&C 4 was the death of the series in more ways than one but at least we got the remaster. Hopefully Generals will get one down the line although EA never do what their customers want. Most iconic thing about the entire series is the b-movie presentation and how they managed to swoop so many big actors - at times it does look like a potential porno is gonna break out but it was a really impressive part of the presentation that compensated for a top-down almost 2D series. Had a real charm about it despite the cheese. Luseth, GazzaGarratt, slamminbones and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luseth 1,757 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 It was one of my favourite game series growing up, there isn't much quite like it! I was a big fan of the red alert series (even red alert 3) and did contemplate booting up the remastered set but haven't gotten round to it yet.

Riff Machine 2,105 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I think I played a bit of 3 during my RTS phase back in the day. I can't say I was really interested in them much, but I've always heard mixed things about the series. I do love the celebrities they managed to get for a lot of the roles in the game. Good ole classic live action cutscenes. J4MES OX4D and IRaMPaGe 2 *The opinions of Riff Machine do not reflect those of Forever Gaming ;)* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaGarratt 10,887 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Incredible games. Had Generals on PC and played the hell out of Retaliation on the PS1. Did what @slamminbones did and used to link two PS1s together with @Findmartin so we could eventually ally and try and beat the two AI against us. The missions were so well thought out and its seems crazy to think back they had ideas of two discs where you essentially picked a side depending on which disc you put in. If any game out there of old deserves a brand new game in their franchise, its this one. Riff Machine, IRaMPaGe, J4MES OX4D and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
