It means they are unwilling to create new entry that people would actually want and instead go for easy, low budget solution which equals to throwing meat scraps at a bunch of angry dogs in hopes they won't tear them apart.
Also, both of these already are "remastered" with modern QoL solutions and improved balance in OpenRA project.

"Alive" units, soldiers that give hand signs, crouch, prone, seek cover etc.
tanks, from which shells bounce off, brning, out of control, turret gunners that have to reload etc.
and what wil we get here?
-1-second loop firing animations
-ultra hardcore rock paper scissors gameplay
-no interaction with surroundings
like it is with literally every other RTS since 1998 with 2 exception (maybe 3: CoH, total war, dawn of war)
no thanks

Anyone else sees it as a bad news?

Yes. Remasters are two sides of a coin.
- On the one hand, this is an old great game.
- On the other hand, this reluctance to invent something new that would repeat the same success.
Remaster is not a game - it is a business, it is an attempt to sell what has already been sold at minimal cost.
The only question is which side do you tolerate more.

Okay. To be honest i cant judge it because the remaster version will be done by Petroglyph. Petroglyph made one of my all-time-favorite games; STAR WARS Empire at War. So i hope they will be able to remaster CnC. Cant wait to see the first game screenshots.

I think the main game was pretty ok (there was horrible unit balance in Forces of Corruption tho) but the only thing which made the game super awesome IMO were the mods, mainly AotR and S.A.U. from Steiners Modding Group
I know... the mods would never have existed without the main game... but still

Well, this is the best result you could expect coming from EA. Reminder that their ideas for the IP was basically relegating it to a mobile game after the disastrous final releases of the game and the cancellation of the last project.

EA pretty dead for me. No trust in them of focusing making a game compared to just trying to get money.

F#@$ EA

I see it as a validation of the dirty tactic more than anything else. "remastered" and "HD" are going to be the new buzzwords that translate to "we are out of ideas".
On the other hand, while I never would have bought a NEW Age of Empires game or Empire Earth, I can see myself being bored enough and nostalgic enough to buy AoE Remastered, play it for an hour, try online and get destroyed, and never pick it up again if it were cheap. Full Price?? lol fuck off Microsoft.
You will never see a Starcraft or Warcraft title "remastered" and that is because Blizzard can at least make decent sequels.

Just recently started playing around with mods because I enjoyed that game but hated the corruption mechanic. I love how all the mods seem to embrace the EU and ignore the new movies. As for the game itself, I still remember Force Commander and the land battles barely feel better than that game. The Space battles were pretty good and a massive improvement over Rebellion. Fuck I wish there was a new Rebellion. I can remember editing that game for new units and scaring the shit out of people online by renaming my first Death Star under construction Death Star 3 and making it obvious it was there.

Yeah, I never played C&C, but I'm not wishing for any of its fans' hopes no doubt getting soon ruined by whatever-bad-stuff EA will think up.

Iplayed Red Alert 2 and generals ( and many other great EA games from the 2000s) and both were great but i stopped supporting this #$@%#ckers a long time ago because they are only about sucking us dry. They dont care about games and gamers anymore, only the money.

They would have say a reboot with new design, I would have had some hype but even if I slept hundred of hundred of hours on the original when I was 14, today the game mechanism and design is just out of date.

They´ll need more than a remaster to make C&C1 interesting to play today.

At least they'll have squishing. I don't think RTSes ever really do that much, strangely enough. If it happens in CoH, it's almost a bug.
