Anyone who's followed my work in the Civ2 forums on the Red Alert 2 Seige of New York scenario and C&C Tiberian Sun African Campaign Scenario Remaster knows I'm a big retro Command & Conquer fan. Us fans have been waiting a long time for a new game to come from EA, and a lot of us hoped the recent remasters would lead to more remasters of 2nd generation C&C games or new sequels but in the years since we’ve heard nothing from EA still.
However thankfully other smaller studios are stepping up (eg Global Conflagration and Fractured Alliance) and those retro loving guys at 3D Realms have decided to dip their toes into the RTS genre (normally they do FPS games!) and create a new game called Tempest Rising that’s very VERY Command & Conquer and Red Alert looking but with modern graphics and lighting effects and my word does it look good! Alternative war history? Check! Strange alien resource spreading all over the earth? Check! Allied global defense forces trying to keep the peace? Check! Eastern European faction obsessed with obtaining god like powers from the alien resource? Check! Single player campaigns separated by badass cutscenes & face to face mission briefings? Check! Sick Frank Klepacki style synth rock album? Check! This just might the new C&C and RA like game we’ve been waiting for!
