If hell freezes over and we actually get a remaster of this peak RTS, what’s the first thing you'd see changed?

>>2090765 (OP)
remove tank blobs as the only viable strategy in Multiplayer

>what’s the first thing you'd see changed?
there will be word "Remastered" before "Repack by R.G. Mechanics"

Soviets are kind of lame in terms of air force, scouting and general mobility. I can't imagine how that could be fixed without a complete overhaul.

add a short yuri campaign

>>2090802
Kek. Tanya did look completely different in every installment, tho.

a remaster is physically impossible due to the loss of the source code, the only thing they can do is a remake, how would YOU like that?

>>2091322
Why do so many studios lose fucking source code all the time? They seriously couldn't keep one cd or usb stick in a cupboard somewhere?

>They seriously couldn't keep one cd or usb stick in a cupboard somewhere?
That's probably what they did. You misplace the disk, move your office, the cupboard gets send to a landfill, the garbage truck catches on fire - the code is gone. And if an IP has a difficult history and changes hands a lot, it's even easier to lose track of things.

>>2091639
EA were literally dumping WW's archives multiple times

>>2090802
You mean Yuri.

>>2090802

FUCK YOU

>Is it done, comrade Yuri?
>Nahhh nigga we jus finna bust a cap in they ass. Shieeeeet

Desolator replaces Yuri as the elite Soviet unit. Iraq or wathever gets something else.

I'd make it procedurally generated open world full loot PvPvE sandbox

'cause it's company property so devs don't hang onto it after the project for legal reasons.
At that point it become management's job, except they don't know the difference between the source code and any other random document so it just get pushed somewhere in a pile with everything else - then since no manager give a shit about dead projects the "somewhere" get quickly forgotten.
One hard-drive wipe (to "save cost and re-use company hardware") or location change later, and the thing will effectively be nowhere to be found.

Archiving isn't a trivial task that get done automagically.

>>2090765 (OP)
Mod it into becoming starcraft

>>2090765 (OP)
Just iron out some bugs and give me some QoL upgrades, more graphical options and smoother mod support and I'm happy.

>>2090918
>he doesn't realise that there was only one Tanya, the OG Tanya Adams from RA1, and the rest used "Agent Tanya" as a code name that designates allied female commandos
bruh do you even lore?

>>2097209
So what you're saying is that even Debra can be Tanya?

>>2091639
To a programmer and your typical gamer, source code is the irreplaceable soul of the game and one of the deepest foundation of the studio's wealth, to be guarded at all costs and secured in triplicate. To the corporate suits it might as well be gibberish, if they even know it exists as a concept. Instead, the trademark takes this role to them and is the only thing that is worth transferring over when you make another game. Guess who gets to make the decisions.

>>2090765 (OP)
An actual Yuri Campaign
>just play MO
It's not the same.

>>2091639
Game developers in the past tended to see projects as one and done, when it's made it's made and they move on

In this case EA was literally killing Westwood Studios.

>'cause it's company property so devs don't hang onto it after the project for legal reasons.
Yeah, maybe it was a thing in old school garage companies but source code is company property and corpos are pretty protective of it. I'm not doing anything worth stealing and I'm not allowed to transfer anything off work PC. Also the package with everything you'd need to build the final release version of the game and/or be helpful in making a remaster would be much larger than the release. Source code, master assets before they got downscaled or squashed into prerendered sprites (aoe2 was done this way), uncompressed music and VO. Nobody got the storage to keep that kind of shit around.

That's how you know there's a corporate skinwalker in the thread, complete disregard of the source material and treatment of videogames as just a product and not form of art or entertainment.
