Command & Conquer, Command & Conquer: Red Alert Getting Official Remasters by Former Devs

I don't know if I should be scared or overjoyed. Red Alert holds a special place to me, it's a great game and I spent a lot of time playing Red Alert 1 and Red Alert 2. EA is promising no microtransactions, though it's probably safe to assume both games will be Origin only as well as some sort of inane always online requirement. It's just a guess, given EA's previous history, but we'll have to wait until we hear something more official.

I assume this is due to the backlash from the mobile Command & Conquer game that was announced. A lot of long time fans were pretty upset at the mobile announcement. Looking at the possible solutions to what's happening here, we could have either got nothing, a new Command & Conquer game made by people who have nothing to do with the older games, or a remaster.

The remaster seems like the best possible outcome out of all of those. We'll have to see what happens with these remasters, as these games are very near and dear to a lot of gamers and there's a lot of potential for things to go wrong.
