EA is releasing the Source Code of all Command and Conquer games Anonymous 02/27/2025 (Thu) 19:48:39 Id: 6cb900 No. 1074913
Holy fuck it even includes Renegade And they're still uploading, hopefully C&C3 next. >You will live to play SAGE C&C games at more than 30 FPS What a time to be alive! https://github.com/electronicarts/
>>1074913 >It's real What the fuck? Has hell frozen over?
Man that took them forever to the release the source code of those old ass games, I hope that means there will be a C&C Generals source port with a native linux build. Because for some retarded reason I cannot run C&C Generals at all due to this fucking fatal error bug I keep encountering
>>1074913 >EA just giving source codes What's next, sex robots entering the market?
>>1074934 Yes, but they will have mandatory always online DRM.
>>1074936 "Sex robot with Denuvo" sounds almost like "Girlfriend with AIDS".

>>1074913 >EA is releasing the Source Code of all Command and Conquer games What's the catch to this?
Could someone use it to fix 4?
The will of God-Emperor Trump strikes again.
>EA releases source code >Tim Cain still hasn't gotten OK from MS to release source code for Arcanum that he owns and just needs MS to agree to remove the "can't help bypass DRM it hasn't been sold with for well over a decade" clause of contract What? Also ESRB re-rated a 2012 browser game Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances today.
I just realized >EA actually has their source code from 2000s to release it >Console Nightfire is based on the PC native id Tech 3 >Nightfire did pretty decently on GoG Dreamlist >Bond IP is in complete paralysis right now with Amazon having no idea what the hell to do with it (so no new movie/show any time soon) and IO interactive's project is a no show There's a small, and I mean small, possibility of Nightfire (+AUF/EoN/FRwL?) on PC. I'm sure they'd fuck it up somehow, but it would be nice.

>>1074951 Image for whoever needs it. Deleted my other post after I noticed the archive was missing text for whatever reason.
>Workshop suppport Neat
>>1074913 I hope the modding community goes even more bonkers than it already has with that, iirc a bunch of mods had to stop purely because you can't add more than 256 things to C&CG:ZH
>>1074968 >Playing a revamped Rise of the Reds at 60 FPS Gonna cum

I don't like it when companies I hate do things I like
WHERE IS RED ALERT 2
When i saw the news every single warning feelings i had started blaring inside my head, but i have yet to see the catch. It's impossible for EA to do something good, there must be a catch somewhere.
>>1074913 >Generals Does it mean it will finally run on modern hardware? Too bad I threw like 15 bucks for the whole collection a year ago.
>>1075158 Just get GenLauncher
>>1075101 Probably doing a remaster and don't want fan made competition for it.
>>1075200 And what about red alert 3 and cnc 3 and 4?
>>1075116 It's very likely a PR stunt to see if they can get away with butchering the franchise in a new game
>>1075201 Who knows. It could also just be that they lost the source code for some of the games or maybe EA only gave them the go ahead for some but not all of the games. Seeing them give out the code for most older games up to Gnerals but then skipping Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 makes me feel like they were possibly remastering/doing something with them at a later date. Though again, it is possible they just don't have that code anymore.
>>1074913 I have no attachment to this series at all, I never even played the games, but why would EA of all companies do this? This is one of the most anti-EA things they must have ever done.
>>1075216 After they restructured into EA Entertainment and EA Sports being 2 seperate divisions that gave some breathing room to smaller teams since not everything was centralized by executives that focused only on EA Sports shit.
Cautiously optimistic Since they're being so generous, maybe they'll actually let Dead Space 4 happen someday?
>>1076465 Do you really want to have Dead Space 4 with the shit they did with the remake?
>>1076465 >Optimistic about EA Anon it's a small team inside EA who pushed super hard for it, don't expect EA their development pipeline to get any better. >Dead Space 4 >After Dead Space 3 >After that pozzed to shit Dead Space Remake Nigger do you want to eat shit that badly?
