    Directional Vehicle Armour

    in Renegade X

    Posted

    So, I was (And still am) watching the "Black Dawn - Dev Playthrough & Podcast" video which Fobby posted on YouTube not too long ago. It can be found here:

    And one thing I heard the guys talk about around the 30 minute mark is the directional armour on vehicles. So I thought we could perhaps discuss the subject here!

    My own first thoughts is that it does sound like a really interesting idea. Directional armour was a great addition to the C&C gameplay in C&C3, and I dont see any reason as of yet why this would be a bad thing Renegade X.

    Renegade not canon? How so?

    C&C Renegade's story was never part of Tiberian Dawn. It did roughly follow the events that happened, but were still diffrent. For example, Dr. Mobius was never really kidnapped in TD. also, the Temple of Nod wasn't destroyed by self-destruction, but by the ion cannon (at least if you did it right in the last mission of TD). TD did have a commando, but that commando isn't Havoc AKA Nick Parker, it was general Shepherd's son, Logan Shepherd.

    Although you are right with saying that Renegade was never a part of the TD storyline, EAs excuse here was that Renegade takes place between TD and TS, although this makes no sense at all. (Just consider the laser rifles as one example out of many). They said the Nod temple in Renegade was not the Sarajevo one, but one in Cairo, Egypt.

    Renegade's storyline is completely incompatible with the rest of the C&C-lore, atleast the one Westwood built up. I consider Renegade a genious concept for an RTS/FPS game though, and it is a very fun game to play multiplayer on. Thereby I dont care too much for all the lore-error in it.

    For one thing, Renegade X is an online only game. Making a campaign is a whole different story, and would take quite literarly years of hard work.

    Secondly. Renegade was never proper canon. Neither is Red Alert 2. Red Alert 2 was never a part of the same universe as Tiberian Dawn. Its merely a spinoff of Red Alert 1, which was EA who pushed it. Westwood themselves never planned to make it originally.

    Now as a game (Red Alert 2) in itself it is indeed a true and very fun C&C, but it's again not part of the same universe.

    The C&C Wikia doesnt make any mention of this at all.

    Any resonable artists out there who can Windows themes?

    Unless there are hidden options, creating a Win7 theme is just basic stuff. Procure a desktop wallpaper, choose a color, add sounds, and then there's the slightly more complicated screen saver. Easiest job there is.

    Im more thinking of things like the start-menu, taskbar and Windows-icons. And of course a full-resolution wallpaper to go with it.

    Not easy job for someone who isnt a digital artist.

    Why Renegade X should go on Steam

    Or preferable just keep it a simple download from ModDB and simillar mirrors and servers being ran privately from anyone who wants to, instead of some shady DRM clients servers which could be shut down at any time in the future.

    I do not mind if there is an option to download the game through another client, but there should always be a stand alone option to chose from.

    The Allied ending is canon for Red Alert 1. The USSR one is just a bonus, just like what Westwood did with Tiberian Dawn and Tiberian Suns Nod-endings.

    And that was supposed to be a quote to xD_ERROR_xD.

    ImperialKaskins, thats never how it worked out. The Nod/Soviet campaign endings in the Westwood era was ALWAYS a "What-if" ending, just to give a perspective view to the player. EAs concept with Generals (Not a real C&C, but yeah) and C&C3s campaigns as they all were to be played in a chronological order just like Blizzard does with StarCraft.

    As the editbutton is broken I appologise for a doublepost and will ask any moderator to merge my two posts, thank you.

    Edit to post above: That being said, I do not mind if the game is released on Steam as well, choice (Even though Steam is pointless) is always good. Just make sure the game can run on its own as well, please.

    I would personally really HATE to see Renegade X released on Steam. Why? Because Steam is a DRM client. Why would I want to run an additional program just to play my games? There is absolutely no point in it what so ever.

    Please do not make this a Steam-game, as that would be a huge dealbreaker for me.
