NEW DOC ANNOUNCEMENT: Remastering Command & Conquer
Added 2020-05-28 17:24:33 +0000 UTCHey folks,
Just wanted to let you know one exciting doc that's coming in early June that up until now we've kept the lid on. Over the past month I've been interviewing the folks responsible for this upcoming Command & Conquer Remaster.
This is a project I was fascinated in covering from the moment it was announced. I actually went on a tweet / email spree to try and make it happen, but it wasn't until a few months ago that they actually touched base with us. The fact that a bunch of the original Westwood guys are responsible for putting this together makes it a once-in-a-lifetime story. So after some chats with EA about access and how we operate - we got the go ahead to talk to a bunch of them.
Our doc includes interviews with C&C series veteran and producer Jim Vasella, a handful of folks from Petroglyph Games - who worked on the original games and this remaster - and we even checked in with the studio in Malaysia who performed a lot of the graphical remastering. It's a fun nostalgic dive into the creation of the original games and what it took to remaster the games' audio, visuals, gameplay, interface and FMV.
We'll have the doc up shortly after the release of the game in early June.
Aside from that we also have a bunch of GDC 2019 videos getting prepared by Jeremy. Chats with Suda51, games like Don't Starve, Dwarf Fortress and more. We're gonna let Patrons vote on which ones come first so keep your eyes peeled for a poll being published in the next few days.

2020-05-28 17:45:41 +0000 UTCCan't say I've ever played one of these but I know it's an important series to gaming as a whole and I'm sure as always seeing it through the eyes of NoClip will make for an interesting watch regardless of being a fan or not.
