Who wouldn’t want to see Red Alert 2 (and by extension the Yuri’s Revenge expansion) reborn on widescreen monitors and beefy computer rigs? Is it so much to ask for, to want to once again tear an alt-future Soviet army apart with flying Psychic saucers? At this point, you’d think that EA would be happy to throw a sack of cash at Petroglyph and get them to start work on that remaster, but like most things in life, it’s not that simple.

RTS games are very very far from being dead, but they’re also nowhere near as industry-defining as they once were. They’re the domain of a niche audience now, a genre for the patient and those who enjoy investing their time into hours of preparation before kickstarting a war on a global scale. Command and Conquer was the very best in this genre, before it was killed off for good.

I GOT A PRESENT FOR YA!
