Electronic Arts has released the first screenshot from Command and Conquer Remaster, showing the newly designed Construction Yard. This screenshot will give you an idea of what the development team aims to create.
As EA’s Jim Vessella stated:
“Our primary goal with the visual approach is to maintain the authenticity of the original in-game asset. It’s worth calling out that if there’s a conflict between the in-game asset, cinematic asset, or UI portrait, we’re always going to side with the in-game asset. That being said, if there are opportunities to pull in details from the cinematic footage to enhance an asset, we’ll do our best to incorporate those details. A good example here would be the blue pattern / texturing on the Con Yard door (Inspired by the classic Con Yard unpacking cinematic).”
Electronic Arts is currently approaching the conclusion of its pre-production phase. The publisher had already claimed that this Remaster will not feature any micro-transactions so it’s quite interesting witnessing two EA games, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Command and Conquer Remaster, releasing without any microtransactions.
Below you can find the remastered Construction Yard, as well as its original version.
Enjoy!

That’s one hell of a resolution bump.
Lol indeed
what made command and conquer great was the engine it was using, i’m almost certain this will be shet.
Cool, it looks exactly like how everyone remembers the original looking; just like a good remaster should do.
Question: Will we be able to tell the different infantry units apart this time?
I really wish EA would genuinely stop being a s**t company. They do own so many great properties which they could draw from. However, I don’t care if they say they aren’t doing gouging through post-release transactions. I know it’s just a stutter in their step, to merely gain some positive PR and wash some dirt from its image, before returning to its trashy ways.
This company, is rotten to its core, and if the last 15 years have anything to say about it, they won’t be changing any time soon. You don’t just go from being one of the most hated and disgusting companies in the industry for a decade and a half, to a redeemed and good company, in the span of a few months.
I would love a proper C&C remake, and even if this turns out to be just that, it won’t budge me on EA as a company. I’d still prefer to see them go under, and have all those
properties sold off.
You are basically saying that even if they do everything right this time, you don’t and won’t care about this game because of the publisher’s past practices, regardless of what the developer actually does? You do know that the developer of the remaster is Petroglyph, not an internal EA studio right? And that Petroglyph is founded by ex-Westwood staff?
Maybe you should just wait and see how it pans out before burning them to the stake without even seeing how the game will be like? Nobody is saying that one game will redeem the publisher. Nobody is also asking you to buy anything or to like EA, but maybe some patience would be good before publicly condemning the game, the developers and the publisher? Otherwise, your loss, not mine…
You are basically saying after decades of f*cking s*it up we have to forgive all that for one good move ? it’s not even a good move, they know people like the series and they are re-releasing an old game with slightly improved visuals.
>because of their past practices.
Past ? you mean then,now and the future ?
Like I said, nobody is saying that you need to forgive or like the publisher. I thought we were talking about the game here? Can’t we just judge a game on its merits? I for one am happy that they are coming back to the series instead of just abandoning it altogether
For this remaster, if it’s just a remaster without any other shady stuff yeah sure we can judge it by it’s own mertis, and being published by EA is one of the negatives that can’t be ignored.
>abandoning it altogether.
That would be good tho, look what they did to MassEffect and Dragon Age, Sim City, NFS and other titles. abandoning an IP is 100 times better than releasing low quality cash grabs, each worst than the other.
“Maybe you should just wait and see how it pans out before burning them
to the stake without even seeing how the game will be like?”
Maybe you should get your head out of your a**. I don’t need to be burned, to know I’m going to be burned. Sorry you haven’t learned simple lessons that most people learn as toddlers, but EA ran out of “good grace”, about a decade ago.
You wanna contribute to the typhoon of stupid that continue to fund this cancerous company? Hey, it’s a free country. Have at it.
Don’t bother trying to tell people with brains, that they should take it easy on a company that burned good will for the last 15 years straight. You don’t have a leg to stand on. Have a good one.
Wonder if they are doing 3D remaster, i would like if they do but it probably costs too much
“The publisher had already claimed that this Remaster will not feature any micro-transactions”.
Surprised it’s not a mobile game.
Lookin’ might good so far! Can’t wait to see exactly where this all leads too.
