    The foundations of original C&C franchise are here, old gang is on it. My nostalgia nerd sensors are having a complete meltdown.
     
    Time for some nostalgia kick to the face.....and gentleman, it's a nuclear device and time is running out ;)

    So this is happening, sit down and enjoy the read ;)

     

     

    Fellow Command & Conquer fans,

    A month ago, we let the Command & Conquerâ„¢ community know we were bringing the franchise back to the PC, starting with a remaster initiative. The reaction from fans has been amazing, with many of you sharing your favorite C&C moments from the past 23 years. We have been reading these comments and listening intently. And now, we are ready to reveal our first PC offering and how your suggestions are already influencing our approach.

     

    Today, I’m thrilled to tell you we are going back to the beginning. We have decided to remaster Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn. And while this is incredibly exciting on its own, we’re also aware of how passionate the community is about the Red Alert universe. So, we will also remaster the original Command & Conquer: Red Alert™. But what about the classic expansion packs you may ask - Covert Ops, Counterstrike, and Aftermath? Well, C&C and Red Alert wouldn’t be the same without them, so all three expansion packs will be bundled with the base games into one remastered collection - without microtransactions.

     

    Now, in addition to the excitement and support of this remaster initiative over the past month, there has also been a healthy skepticism that we can pull this off. How are we possibly going to remaster these titles while maintaining the authenticity of the original experiences? Bottom line, there is no better way to achieve this than to partner with some of the talented developers who brought these original games to life.

     

    So, after years of the fans asking for their involvement, I am humbled to announce that EA is going to partner with Petroglyph Games to develop the C&C remastered collection.

    Petroglyph Games includes many of the original developers from Westwood Studios, and some of the most influential members of the original Command & Conquer development team from 1995. Joe Bostic is known as the co-creator of C&C, having also served as the Lead Programmer on Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert. Steve Tall joined Joe as a Lead Programmer on Red Alert, and Ted Morris was the original community manager on the C&C franchise. And Mike Legg contributed to all forms of audio systems at Westwood, having been an employee since 1986! All four members helped start Petroglyph Games in 2003 after the closure of Westwood and are joined by a veteran group of RTS developers from the past 15+ years.

     

    On a personal note, I can tell you the past few weeks have been surreal. During my first visit to Petroglyph, I was able to brainstorm “C&C feel†with Joe, reminisce about the jukebox with Mike, and gab with Steve about whether we should fix the Tib Dawn Harvester AI. Getting to chat C&C with the original developers has been one of the highlights of my gamer journey, and I can’t wait for all the incredible conversations to come.

     

    In addition to the fantastic team at Petroglyph, we will also be partnering with Lemon Sky Studios to help bring these original games to 4k glory. Lemon Sky is one of the premier art studios around the world, with a unique specialty in remastering classic RTS titles. After meeting their team and hearing their passion for C&C, we are incredibly lucky to have them team up with Petroglyph to develop the highest quality C&C possible.

     

    The exciting part is that we haven’t started development yet. The community is literally getting in on the ground floor of this project and have every opportunity to help influence how we build this remastered experience. Please continue to engage on Reddit and community channels and help us create the best possible remasters of C&C and Red Alert!

    To kick things off, be sure to read the message below from Joe Bostic, and then watch the video at the bottom for one more surprise…

    Welcome Back, Commander!

    As I said, high cpu usage in these scenarios is common. Emulating is an cpu intensive task. And it's pubg, the most "optimized" game in the world.
  7. Puddingsbane liked a post in a topic by JillyJill in Draugen will offer storyline with unreliable narrator in 2019   
    New trailer of upcoming game Draugen was released, revealing its beauty and magnificence. This is a creation of Red Thread who previously brought us unique adventure in Dreamfall Chapters.
     
    In the video you can see the gorgeous landscape of Norway and feel the trembling atmosphere. The story is set in 1923 and you play as traveler Edward Charles Harden, who is looking for his missing sister. Along your journey, you are accompanied by young woman Lissie.
     

     
    You will be able to interact with her through the dialogue system. Step by step, the mental state of protagonist will be changing, bringing us unexpected turns in the storyline. Developers promise to offer us a thrilling experience, and indeed, the trailer is already intriguing with its atmosphere.
     

     
    It’s interesting how much the concept seems to change, because Draugen was announced few years ago already, and it looked like a horror game. Or, maybe, something lies beneath the beauty of the scene?
     

     
    Draugen will be released in 2019, the exact date and price are yet unknown. This adventure game already looks promising and it might suit to those players who enjoy deep story and sudden twists.
     
     
    System Requirements:
     
     
    OS: Windows 7 (64-bit)

    I personally don't like tencent because of their junkware and malware infested software so you can check in task manager if new background processes that weren't there before did appear while you launch the app or game.

  11. Substanz liked a post in a topic by Puddingsbane in Battlefield V System Requirements (PC) : Are you able to run it ?   
    Not much has changed since BF1 graphics wise except for DXR support. That''s about it, if you were able to run BF1 you will be able to run this. From my experience the minimum and recommended specs for the game are a grey area because there's no explanation behind the testing methodology.

    By the way this is a base game without any DLCs. Believe me when I say it's more worth it with DLCs, you can  get them very cheap because they are on sale non stop. and you get tons of content in return, so if you wanna get much more better experience get them.

    Won't launch on systems using AMD GPU because it requires nVidia PhysX to run.
     
    EDIT: Never mind, got it working. Just go to your Steam library, right click on Metro 2033, properties, browse local files, go to Install folder and run the PhysX installer manually. You can play now.
