I could use that knowledge about right now.

Say, if you complete all mission objectives (including bonus/secondary objectives) and quests in the two campaigns of Tempest Rising, will there be a reward for doing so? Something that you can use as a bragging rights reward to prove to your friends that you completed everything.

Will the game allow for in game alliances/teams?

Tempest Rising

In the original Command and Conquer (where Tempest Rising takes inspiration from) games, you don't get to see where support powers hit (with the exception of the Orca Strike in Tiberium Wars), but having the ability to see where enemy support powers hit (ie, the red dot of a Ghost's nuclear strike in StarCraft or Company of Heroes' flares) would be very useful for messing with human opponents as strategy.

Forcing columns of enemy units away from an advantageous position or making an opponent waste time by selling away and rebuilding a key structure could be good gameplay tactics if players can see where enemy support powers hit.

Another idea is to maybe make it an early warning upgrade for the radar stations so even if the player is able to have advance warning of where support powers are able to hit, the support powers would still have use in forcing players to either move their units away or sell their structures.

One of my favorite modes in SC2, had high hopes for it in SG, what about TR?

Tempest Rising

Honestly, I really want to see cosmetics like skin packs and UI skins. Sure, people say skins break the atmosphere of games (as much as we like to complain about the Tempest Sphere itself), but skins allow for some goof and whimsy into games as well. I personally want Idiocracy homage skins for Ignitors and Pillagers because Brawndo has electrolytes which is what plants crave and Tempest is a plant or a bowling bowl themed skin for the Tempest Sphere itself.

As long as microtransactions are'nt based on RNG gambling and don't affect gameplay at all, I think skin packs are a good idea for Tempest Rising to earn extra money from the game itself.

The Tempest Rising beta test.

So? what time the beta starts?

Got an NDA email 3 days ago but no codes, anyone else got that issue?

Hey everyone. What's the ideal PC Cpu and Gpu combo for a RTS games like this? I'll be looking to play it at max spec and 4k. Thanks .

I came here to check on the community. What am I missing?

Okay, given that the common protocol when it comes to infantry being hit with artillery and explosives is to jump two hundred feet in the air and scatter oneself over a wide area, to quote Blackadder. Given that well, we had to work with a potential Teen rating , maybe ragdoll physics for infantry could be implemented as a death animation compromise when infantry are killed by artillery, explosives like mines or the Condor's bombs and the Tempest Sphere's Tempest Engine ability.

Does anyone know if they gave us a release date yet? I haven’t been paying attention for the past few months.

Or was it the same as the previous demo? Excited either way!

Release the game

When I first started playing Command&Conquer, I was 6 years old. I watch a friend of mine playing it and I had a broad understanding of WW2 to see what I was doing was something of real relevance. I could understand that the fact that I was moving a tank had something to do with me playing with cars when I was 4.

I was intrigued and hooked.

But what hooked me to the game most has been the storytelling. I loved how the world that was built was taking me seriously, complimenting me and giving me praise for my achievements. The background story was ever only there to create a context for the achievements of the player.

The story of C&C1 always felt a bit like a kid was hacking into the military control of GDI or NOD. Nobody really noticed and since the kid was already there, people just rolled with it. Heck, with the bad graphics from the 90s, you might even imagine that what was happening was really happening and that it was just a bad transfer of signals to your screen. It was just a brilliant work of art.

As long as the player was successful, you would get more responsibility, more power and insight into the war. From a nobody to a general.

Working yourself through a military career has always been the motivating factor for the story of C&C, fulfilling a sense of duty, it was what kept it all together, what kept the loosely linked missions together. The story of the war, yes, but more the story of you. Of your success as a military leader. The early games captured this quite well, when having a new unit available felt like a real achievement. A new tank, first airplanes, the first orca. You cared about your units, about their abilities and the technology. That kind of storytelling was something that Age of Empires or War-/Starcraft never understood; and is only paralleled by Call of Duty.

The feeling like what you did really mattered. The slow grind towards victory in a campaign. Real achievement. That was what drew me in as a kid. It’s rarely done these days. I hope we will see something like that from the story.

I just recently saw a Video from Gamestar of gameplayfootage from the Gamescom, there I saw a unit cap and tried to get an idea how much it will affect the overall army size. In my opinion, it is really tight, so tight, that it consider it a dealbreaker for me if it goes live like that.

A game inspired so heavily by C&C TW should not have this included. An option to deactivate it would be very welcomed, but I'd rather see it gone for good if I think outside of skirmish matches.

30ish (mostly low tier) Units and it's half the cap.

Anyone knows of a release date? I've been waiting patiently for this one, I loved the second Beta, a lot more than the 1st one I must say, but now even knowing when the game releases is kind of a bummer. I also tried reading in Steam's discussions, to no avail.

Anyone?

One of my favorite parts of the CnC games is watching Aircraft commence bombing runs, Tanks advancing assaults, and light vehicles firing off their guns as they run around the battlefield. But in the footage I watched and demo that I played every one stops to fire their weapons. It just makes every thing feel so much less dynamic and energetic like the CnC games where. It also does not help that every unit moves and turns so slowly with wonkey pathfinding. I want to like this game, but it just feels off. Bring back fire on the move, CnC fans (Your intended audience) would appreciate it

Hi,

I just wanted to let those know who are interested. Gamestar will stream it as part of their broadcast schedule from Gamescom. Most likely it will be German commentary unless they have an English speaking developer guest for the session. The slot is planned for an hour and they play a multiplayer match (just by two journalists, don't expect pros 😋).

Here is the schedule where they mention the time slot: https://www.gamestar.de/fyng/
