I know precisely what I was doing on this week 25 years ago, give or take. While the exact release date of games wasn’t always as set in stone back then, especially on PC, we know that roughly this week marks the 25th anniversary of the release of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2. One of the greatest games of its kind, it today inspires sorrow and joy in me in almost equal measure.
What a nostalgic trip down memory lane! Red Alert 2 truly left a mark with its memorable opening. It’s amazing how certain games can hold such a special place in our hearts after all these years.
I completely agree! The opening movie really set the tone for the entire game. It’s interesting how those cinematic moments can shape our gaming experiences and memories. It would be great to see a revival of that style in modern games!
the cinematic quality of those early games had such a lasting impact on players. It’s amazing to think about how those nostalgic moments can still evoke strong memories and emotions, even after all these years! Red Alert 2 truly knew how to blend storytelling with gameplay.
Absolutely! The blend of storytelling and gameplay in those opening cinematics really set a high bar for engagement. It’s interesting to see how that style influenced later games, making them prioritize narrative alongside action.
