StarCraft II Meets Red Alert

[Plok 327]

A new mod project has been started, this time it's a semi-total conversion map for StarCraft II: Wings Of Liberty that transforms the game to the first Red Alert as much as the engine allows. This map is called Red Alert: Origins, which was originally intended for WarCraft III, but the creator wasn't satisfied with his work. Have a look at these sample screen shots:

Funny! No, seriously, what does it do?

Я, конечно, уважаю Red Alert, но помоему люди уже стали издеваться над серией...

It will probably be pretty cool! I like that they have nailed the sidebar and if you check the video section on moddb you can see that they got the service depot working aswell as the aircraft system:

It's a mod map, like DotA for WarCraft 3, that has its own stuff. When/if the creator finishes it, you'll be able to insert it to StarCraft 2 and play that and the core SC2 gameplay independently.

No idea how accurate Google translate is, but it came out with this: Of course, I respect the Red Alert, but the mud people have already become a mockery of a series ...

It's just a 3D copy of RA1. Nothing interesting and boring.

 

On 2D engine it was maybe normal to see one-colored tanks, but on 3D it looks weird. No remakes, nothing better, no textures, no shadows on tanks, etc. If peoples can't create something new - better to not make anything, that copy old game to 3D engine.

 

I'm fully against those "3D copies of old games".

 

Tiberium Essence looked great - remaked old units with nice textures, new abilities, some new stuff, some old stuff reworked, etc.

For some reason I think that could very well be the correct translation

I have to agree with you Existor.

 

An interesting mod needs some new and creative input, imo.

While it is cool to see the old Red Alert in 3D, it doesn't really add substance does it?

 

Once a download is ready I'll try it out, and perhaps I'm all wrong.

Not trying to criticise this RA/SC2 map/mod or whatever it is, I think C&C fans, real C&C fans, would find The Red Alert mod for RA3 a much better idea http://www.cnclabs.com/mods/ra3/theredalert/.
