Pathfinding issues with Harvesters? This game is a true C&C successor!
Ah yes my memories on RA2/Yuris Revenge Harvesters
This is why Westwood Studios added Carryalls to load and unload Spice Harvesters in their 3 Dune RTS games before the Dune license rights were revoked.
Veteran comment! You cut your teeth defending a spaceship in an ion storm, learned to micro sandbagged marines and always you need must construct additional pylons. As did I.
I salute you sir!!
@koolunit "You must construct addition pylons" lol old memory that has been stashed away is back now😂😂
yea nostalgy
As a huge CnC fan, I am excited for when this game finally releases! I openly welcome the return of the RTS!
My biggest complaint was unit readability, it’s pretty hard to tell which infantry is what at a glance, apart from maybe the medic, but even then…
Same, that seems to be a running issue with Modern 3D RTS.
CnC3 managed it fine. Having a background that is dark is generally the problem. You want units to pop out against the background color, hence why you want the background to be more faded or lower resolution.
7:37 - Ah, wonky pathfinding ... this is truly the heir to the Command and Conquer legacy!
Ah yes, harvesters dancing on the bridge of your choice :D
"set at game journalist difficulty" 😄
Haven't played an RTS for a long time, I am looking forward to this.
Is great to see some RUclipsrs focusing on RTS content, many outlet media ( if we can call the paid reviewers that way) only focus on things that are either popular or they get paid for, I have noticed a huge amount of interest in RTS for the last years and that's thanks to people like you, keep it up (y)
I was playing demo, it can be improved, but the fact its first real serious AAA RTS in a long time, i am gonna preorder it, its not because of Temperst Rising or THQ but rather supporting genre in general to stay alive.
Preorder at their websites, or directly from developer if you can, it will be even greater support for project.@@Josh_728
Preordering is not something you should ever do, make them deliver a proper product first.
@@andrew_tennis6778 Have CoH3 and it is awful, beta of CoH2 was better tbh
Never preorder
It captures the original C&C feel and love the soundtrack so far.
I love how the developers went "oh EA won't make any more C&C games? Screw it we'll make our own."
They even straight up said that they hope the game is successful enough to prod EA into making a new C&C in an interview.
Aside from a couple of small quibbles this seems basically perfect, and I'm very excited. Said quibbles being
1. Not a fan of unit caps in a game that's clearly intended to be a spiritual C&C successor. It just feels wrong.
2. Lacklustre variety in unit voices. Obviously we haven't seen anywhere close to the full roster of just one faction, but of the units we've seen they all sound basically the same. And a complete sausage fest at that. Hell even the original star craft from more than 20 years ago at least had the medic and dropship be women. Though in fairness, the guiding star for this game, the C&C franchise was really bad about that throughout. You had Tanya, and that was it until you hit RA3 and C&C3, with a handful of non-hero units spread across 4 of the 5 human factions across both games.
There are female characters in the trailers :)
I don't want EA to touch C&C today, can you imagine the nightmarish mutant horror they'd unleash? Online only, 1 faction unless you buy the second faction, micro transactions, pay to win, corporate sponsored skins on your tanks, support dropped after 6 weeks, Kane with dreadlocks and a pink leather jacket, tiberium replaced by crypto terminals....
No need to build Pylons and every single unit takes up only 1 point, even the biggest, baddest tanks, so it is less like SC/AoE and more like Total Annihilation or SupCom's "GPU fry protection" unit cap.
I love it, I must say though, as a Red Alert 2 player, I'd like to swap mouse buttons for move/attack and deselect. Other than that, I appreciate that they went for grid-based structures like Red Alert 3 and older C&C games. It often felt weird to try and fenaggle buildings into tight terrain in C&C 3 and Generals.
A fun thing that was noticed in a stream of the demo that I watched is that the clock on the wall in the background of the commander briefing is synced to your computers clock.
wow that is an amazing detail, I'm going to check that when I get home
this looks perfect, I only hope theres some kind of highly replayable content like generals challenge or something
"generals challenge"
Oh yes, my fav RTS experience ever!
my only problem with the game is they added a pop cap, other then that it feels like old C&C and I love it so far hope it turns out to be just as good at release whenever that is.
Thanks for bringing this game to my attention! Had an absolute blast playing it, and can't wait for it to come out later this year. I noticed the geyser in my base was producing noise, but I didn't check the one further into the final enemy encampment.
Says "we don't have much time" on a platform where time is literally infinite.
Gotta love the red Kane-esque lighting tho :3
When I played the preview, I felt excited the same way I felt, when I was getting the local PC Gaming magazine back in the day with a couple of CDs and playing the demos on these discs. I've spent my life being a fan of C&C and still from time to time play RA2/YR on CnCNet, but this seems like it's going to feel the void for a new C&C for me.
It pains me to say that this looks much more interesting than Stormgate when it comes to visual design. Stormgate seems all over the place with it's themes, while this hits close to home with what we already know and recognize. Typical 'realistic' sci-fi on one hand, super-robots vs the devil with cartoonish proportions on the other. Tempest Rising gets me excited, because it's something I know and want more of. Stormgate tries for something different, but to me looks uninteresting.
That intro brought so many fond memories Zade, thank you for that.
A bit thrown together but got the job done, appreciate ya
Played the preview. Yup, it felt like a CnC game (which i'm all for). One thing that wasn't quite up to par is the keybindings. During the preview it seemed like when trying to reassign keys it wouldn't work. Regardless, really looking forward to the release.
You get an exciting email whenever you go on holiday? Congratulations, you have been bestowed the Kliksphillip Curse
There are 2 things I'm really hopeful for:
1) That it would get enough momentum for EA to take Petroglyph and say: Wanna remaster RA2/Tibsun and/or make a new C&C game?
2) Since it takes place in Ion Maiden(fury)/Bombshell/Duke Nukem's setting, I kinda want a surprise/easter egg commando mission where you have Duke Nukem running around throwing pipebombs for his ability and mowing things down with a shotgun against infantry, rocket launcher against vehicles, spewing one liners.
Of course I hope the game is good, too. Pathing is glaring, UAV operators make me cautious about playing against players, units run way out of each other's range and will need some more wrangling like older RTS games--Which, since they're riffing C&C not just from the gameplay but also from the trailer doing a Hellmarch remix and copying Retaliation's opening-- Might be part of the point, too, flaws and all
They didnt do that good on grey goo, 9bit, forged batallion. Nah they should use these Guys here instead, if thet should make it. But I dont think EA can find anybody to make a better cnc than Tempest Rising, Generals 2 beta wasnt that good either.
@@haakonglindtvad5489 It's definitely more C&C3 than classic, which I get some people are into, but for all the things it rips off (Not the worst thing to do when a legacy has been left mostly untouched), there are some things I just can't get over/feel like they didn't rip off properly, like the building where you have to place it first and then it builds, giving you less wriggle room to hold a structure ready for an emergency, or how it tells you construction is finished before it's even usable.
As for Petro not doing that good on those aforementioned ones, most of them had them trying to do something new rather than rely on old glories, at least, I cannot fault them for trying. Besides, they still did stunning with Empire at War
I knew nothing about Tempest Rising until your video popped up in my feed. Thanks for the heads up! Definitely going to buy it, and the soundtrack is brilliant!
Glad to be of service! I'm hopeful the final game will be just as good
Glad you did the videos on this game. Never heard of it. Got it on my to buy list now. Going to wait on the review, of course, but this looks amazing.
The game plays great, my biggest complaint was honestly the cutscene. The General just looks...off, especially the lip sync.
Devs should stop going for hyperrealistic faces when they don't have the budget for it to avoid the uncanny valley - especially for a RTS where the focus is elsewhere
@@armelior4610Exactly. The budget could be spent elsewhere rather than spending it on a trivial detail which is going to fail to achieve what it has been aimed for.
Zade: Its like C&C.
Me: Sold
Agreed. Worth waiting for it.
Ooo they got the X-Com guy too. 👀All they need now is bald bad guy, with a beard of some kind named Kan... I mean Shane.
In the name of shane
peace through condescending letters to HR
I belive GDF is faction from Ion Fury, so it probably a canon for it universe. And since Bombshell was suppose to be Duke Nukem sidekick, so we have (maybe) an RTS set in Duke Nukem universe.
Ever since CoH and Dawn of War 2 came out, with their cover mechanics, that old style RTS games like CnC started to feel dated. Having said that, I'll still end up getting Tempest Rising though.
"Welcome back, Commander!"
My god that music! Pump it right into my veins!
this is the real C&C4 !
YES
, lets goo!
It looks promising but I wouldn't get too hyped with new RTS games 😅
I would get hyped for this one, the test demo was so fun.
Really looking forward to Tempest Rising
I got some Westwood vibes from your opening.
excelllllent...
I recently re-aquired Tiberium wars and Kanes wrath last month for nostalgias sake and an actual
hunger for C&C, and then i suddenly notice that everyone else is starting to play it and now this!
Am i being watched and if i get into something others have to copy me!? XD
Wow, been looking for a new RTS!
I cannot fucking wait! Played every C&C besides 4
I really like this game - it looks amazing and ideas behind it are really great. Tjhere some problems with UI or units inteligence (I played the 1st demo) but so far I really love the direction of this game.
2:20 - The NoD one sounds much better! But this is great all the same :D
The scrap flying up after the building blows up is just silly
yes yesssssss a worthy C&C successor
>Frank Klepacki writing the music for the game.
>Harvester pathfinder glitch.
>They literally called it the MCV
C&C is back on the menu fellas.
I found it odd that the demo was nearly an 11 GB download for a mission that took me 22 minutes. I honestly thought I missed something.
It was probably 11 GB because of the assets. New games tend to be huge, around 100+ GB
I don't know how big will the final game be, but 11 GB for assets for a map (all the debris, rocks, trees...) buildings, infantry units, vehicles for 2 factions... I think it's reasonable
And just to add to the hype they announced yesterday that Frank Klepacki has joined the project on the soundtrack!
I played but there is couple of things missing it will be make better like
units stances like switch defensive stance destroying defense structures to enemy units to aggressive stance destroying everything including hold guard stance.
New construction options
The only C&C news I would like to hear is the Remake of Red Alert 2
Oh man does the pathfinding ever need some improvement, agreed. Also, is it just me or did the GDF grenadiers seem incredibly OP against infantry?
Regardless, what really stood out to me was the level design. Beautiful! They really know how to create an atmosphere, well done!
I enjoyed the demo, I was expecting my 6 yr old rig not be able to run it and it did, pretty smoothly I might add. I really would love to know about the third faction (assuming they're still planning on that).
Great to hear! AFAIK third faction is still a go. It's on their website still
Really excited for Tempest Rising, but I'm going to wait for 1.0 release and not even try the preview since 3DRealms are a bit sloppy with their game releases. I hope it releases in 1.0 and not early access.
Look, they stick SO true to the source material they even made the wayfinding wonky. perfect game 7/10 :)
The soldier on the thumbnail look like WH40K - Tempestus Scionb😂😂😂
Played the demo, encounters some game freeze issues in campaign briefing but managed to have some workaround on that part. The game itself is exactly what I wanted, and the only issues I have with this game is infantry is hard to tell which unit is what, no options to c&c style left click interface instead of right, map scroll on mid mouse button instead of right, and UI is way too small for me, I wish I can scale the UI above 1.0 in the options.
I hope it does well, so we get Tempest Rising Rouge alert!
I see what you did there!😂
I see what you did there!😂
downloading the demo now lol
I am hyped for this game because of it’s comparison to C&C.
Honestly.....I had good expectations for Tempest Rising to become CnC Successor unless they decided to remake/remastered one
By our Blood is a great track.
AGREED
It being inspired by CnC is not a complain from me, I've been waiting for a game that gives me the feeling of those games. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy once it releases.
I'm not very optimistic about it. The completely broken pathfinding has been a deal breaker for me. I hope they get it sorted out. Not sure why they decided launching a barely functioning preview version.
I love it, cant wait for it to come out. One question though, there is three factions but only two campaigns why?
Unsure - I'm guessing the third faction is going to be a Scrin from CNC3 like faction, mutants, aliens, something where a campaign wouldn't make as much sense. We'll see though, maybe they'll announce a third campaign to come....
@@Zade_95 ya that is what I was thinking.
Dont Forget Brutal Steamroller AI, and bigger maps
I know the graphics look good since I tried zooming in with my mouse wheel on the video
Thst red highlight really makes you look like youre at kanes office in Sarajevo lol
Mission accomplished
@@Zade_95 peace through power
if only EA actually respected the cnc IP and didnt leave it to die, what would have made this game perfect would be live action cutscenes
when I played this game, it didn't feel like a command and conquer game. well not the classic CnC game, this feels like a Blizzard RTS but more like what you get when you play Red Alert 3. unit micro is something that Red Alert 3 and Starcraft love. There is also the fact that there is a unit cap on the top right corner of the screen and we have another resource to manage which is Intel on top of power and tempest.
It's been so many years since we had a high budget RTS, and probably the only time we'll actually get !notCOMMAND & CONQUER
Im i crazy or does this demo not have weather effect? I have seen footage of this game where it clearly does have rain, sun etc.
if ea has balls one day the reboot c&c 4 to be a real c&c but i hey these companies never accept their error
Sucks that they added a unit limit
The only thing I dislike was the amount of space the demo took up lol.
Oh those big mosquitos also always get me on holiday... Southeast Asia, right?
Haha, unfortunately not. That was shaving mishap...
I'm hopeful, but I've been burned before.
me too brother
remember, no preorders
You look like Kane from C&C, dude
>:)
in the name of zade
This is so much like Tib.Wars that it can't honestly be more like it. Which is a GOOD THING! Now, I only wait on the verdicts on the campaigns. GDI, NOD and Kane's Wrath were awesome(especially the GDI campaign), Scrin campaign was ... meh. But that could be because I don't particularly care about vanilla Scrin. And there's nowhere near enough of meat on those bones to overcome that obstacle.
Wait i played game like this, but there were robots and destroyed abandoned cities, bridge and apocalyptic map
Fuck cant wait for this game!!!
GDF (GDI) for ever!!
#MammothTankAssembled
You go on holiday? Which one?
Was it just me or are you not able to rotate building placement? Would be a very nice quality of life update and make building placement more efficient. Otherwise it was amazing. Peace! Through! Power!
most likely this game will release next year.
I'm Downloading The Game mamen...🎉..
Im really super happy to see CnC revival. However the one thing I'd work on is building design. It is not even remotely that badass compared to oroginal GDI
I'm actually gonna buy myself a new pc just for this game, super hyped for TR! I hope shitty EA is watching this and i hope they are gonna put new life in the official C&C. Imagine getting 2 top notch RTS games 😁😍🤩🥰😇
This is looking pretty cool, but it looks like it's gonna vaporize my computer if I were to try and play it :/
I've heard good feedback from people about performance, though a couple of people in my discord mentioned it started a bit choppy then sorted itself out. I'll be sure to test on low-end hardware for the final review
I'm gonna buy this. But man, do I really have to go through missions where they give me some rifleman, rocket troops, a light vehicle, and maybe a tank? These early missions where I'm supposed to get to grips with the gameplay and it teaches me are so tired. I know it's a staple of RTS, I know it's a staple of C&C - but I'm just kinda over it. The only time in the campaign where I get to flex with the full tech tree in awesome missions will be the final ones?
I know I'll have to slog through it, and it might even be cool. Red Alert 2 had some of the better instances of this, imo. But man, give me more campaign missions where I can play with all the toys.
How many factions ?
"Game journalist difficulty" oh snap.
kaboom
A pigeon can finish this game's vertical slice faster than some senile urinalist.
Yeah pathfinding has been an issue for me too. Played the mission three times and each time some unit would take a very alternative route and walk into a SAM site... -_-
BUt yeah this game looks good and plays well already. Only thing I'm not convinced about is the intel resource and how it's gathered. Kinda skeptical about it since from the demo it looks like you'll really have to micro manage it to get the most effect out of the intel gathering. And imho micro managing at that level was never something C&C was that much known for. Maybe in the final build this won't be an issue, but I just hope it won't turn out to be micromanaging hell.
DOWN WITH GDF!
one command, one conquer!
I would believe if THQ Nordic went to EA to buy C&C and when they said "no" Nordic said "Ok, i will do it"
Three of the four companies in Tempest Rising's pub n' dev are constituents of the Embracer Group.
@@royasturias1784 who? Sorry
It have unit cap
Am i the only one who keeps hearing GDI every time they say GDF.
KANE LIVES !!!!!
I'm an old C&C fan and I'm very interested in this, but why is the game so damn dark? C&C3 was much, much brighter. I'm worried...
looks awesome! but i hope they make the vehicles bigger, cause its look odd with these small vehicles
i tryed it look good lets buy and sup them
The Tempest rising guys : Hey legal team, how much do we need to avoid to not get sued by EA for copyright infringement ?
Legal team: Well about this much.
Tempest rising guys : Ok , we will avoid that much, only that much and NOT A SINGLE BIT MORE.
And frankly speaking, that's fucking fantastic because EA has proven time and time again that it doesn't give a shit about the franchise.
is there a population cap? plllleaaassseee tell ne there is no population cap.
