This, though I’d even be willing to stretch it a few years later.
You get everything from people analyzing the gritty details of the technology of the setting, to the classic wild adventure romps, to wacky mystic stuff. It brought us incredible stuff like the original Battlefront II’s portrayal of clones, Jango and Boba Fett being further fleshed out, Shatterpoint being basically Space Vietnam, and more.
Yes!
The whole game’s aesthetic was fantastic. Nailed that kind of grungy, late-90s cyberpunk aesthetic in a voxel RTS game in a way that I don’t feel any has since. Something about the style made you feel like fighting in a world being strangled by Tiberium.
Yep. (Mira Furlan was a real punch in the gut, particularly.)
Ah man, Renegade. Definitely had one of the more interesting multiplayer match concepts. The closest thing I’ve maybe seen was Planetside, and, uh… well, Planetside 2 has plenty of its own issues.
But still. Good memories of shacking everyone into a flame tank, or running around like madmen trying to figure out where the hell that nuke beacon was planted. Have you seen the Tiberian Sun Renegade efforts?
As long as we’re on cancelled sci-fi shows, Babylon 5 spinoffs. The entire setting is more or less dead and it hurts.
(Yes, I know about The Road Home. It’s not the same.)
Man, they won’t even remaster Tib Sun and RA2. You know fans would go absolutely bonkers for those, even moreso than original C&C/RA.
I’m particularly bitter about the unreleased FPS shooter. Seeing the Scrin as actually in-person terrifying monsters, plus a more empathetic Brotherhood of Nod, could have made for some great stories.
Oh yeah, I totally understood why you chose to cut it off there. I’m just okay with a few more years of subsequent content.
