Sonic 292 Posted May 6, 2012 The OpenRA team has mentioned very briefly on their Facebook page of what is currently planned and "in the pipeline" for their open source reimplementation of Westwood's original Red Alert. In the pipeline: Zombies (still!); UPNP support to make hosting easier; More AI improvements; More balance for C&C; New coop missions; Stealth pillbox; Snipers for soviet; Sling loads for helicopters So, a few things to look forward to there. Zombies is an interesting idea. The latest release of OpenRA was made available a few short days ago. Share this post Link to post
Aircraftkiller 9 Posted May 6, 2012 Zombies is the least interesting idea. It's been beaten to death in numerous franchises. I think it's beyond "interesting" at this point... It's more likely to induce severe eye-strain from all the eye rolling people will be doing. 1 1 Share this post Link to post

BigJoe 4 Posted May 7, 2012 He's right. Ever since Deadrising and Left 4 Dead the game industry has been beating the dead zombie horse like there is no tomorrow. It is old and stale and it's time to move on. 1 Share this post Link to post
PurpleGaga27 37 Posted May 7, 2012 I thought I would want to see OpenRA with the updated graphic engine from C&C Sole Survivor soon. Share this post Link to post
Guest Stevie_K Posted May 9, 2012 OpenRA is just getting better and better. Share this post Link to post
Nmenth 289 Posted May 10, 2012 I don't really see zombies as a negative. A 0 perhaps, but adding content, no matter how trite, shouldn't reduce the value of the rest of the content. Share this post Link to post
Aircraftkiller 9 Posted May 10, 2012 It isn't reducing the value of anything. However, if you add several beaten horses to your mod's database, you're not really improving it. Hence why I said it isn't getting any better if it adds zombies. It's just stagnating - at that point, why not start having battles take place in space? Let's go underwater, too. BioShock did it! More content, regardless of the game's story! Share this post Link to post

Inferno 22 Posted May 11, 2012 And zombie wizards. It can't be good without zombie wizards. Share this post Link to post
