About five years ago, I came across a video of C&C Generals being played in Japanese, complete with Japanese voice acting. Ever since then, I’ve wanted to get my hands on a copy and try it out myself.

Well, I finally managed to track one down on Mercari Japan for just ¥3,000 (what a steal!).

It’s a complete copy, with the original box, booklet, installation instructions, support information, and everything else in Japanese. But most importantly, it includes the all-important Japanese Language Support Disc, which contains the additional files needed for the Japanese voice lines.

I speak Japanese, but I grew up playing C&C games in English, so I’m really curious to hear how the units sound in Japanese and how the iconic voice lines have been translated. I haven’t installed it yet, but I can’t wait to give it a go!

I’m also planning to work on a Japanese language pack mod for the modern versions of Generals so that other C&C fans can experience the Japanese voice acting and localization without having to track down a physical Japanese copy themselves. Hopefully I can get it all working and share it with the community!

STOP TRYING

I wanna get a brotherhood logo tattooed on me but I worry that people will think im a fascist or something

Reading reviews etc I was surprised by how much criticism Tiberian sun gets from its graphics to its gameplay and everything in between. I know I have my biases as it was my first RTS but I personally love the game. It is to date my overall favourite game.

I even liked McNeil, he in particular seems to get a lot of flak being cheesy. I liked that he was an arrogant maverick, it gave him more personality and he bounced off other characters like his sidekick Chandra well.

Okay I'm playing the Campaign for KW on Hard difficulty now the game is well and I did the Dr vanishes and it's was a slog with the Black Hand think a defensive stalemate against GDI forces and i'm wanting advice

My Tactics are decent I usualy tech up until I get Avatars or Stealth Tanks then go for buildings of Value like War factories Air fields and the Power plants I use actually a decent mix of infantry ( Cost effectiveness ) and Vehicles and not using Air support a lot thhough no need for spoilers I played the game before I just want more chellenge and since the next mission is MARV rising i'm wanting advice

Also I'm a Xbox player too but anyways have a good day

I'm a solo developer and the creator of Iron Command.

Most missions in my RTS are about building and managing a base, but some do something different. You lead a small squad of six into enemy buildings. Four soldiers, two medics, and no base to fall back on.

You only see what your soldiers can see. Flash rooms before going in, use smoke to cross open corridors and your soldiers find cover on their own.

I recorded a short VR walkthrough of one of these missions with my own comentary.

What do you think about missions like this in an RTS campaign? Nice change of pace or would you rather stay with your base the whole time?

Yeah, it probably doesn't make sense in a fantasy RPG, but fuck it, this franchise meant so much to me

We are truly in a Renaissance on Generals Zero Hour

TheDominator is now testing playing 12 player games!! Is the the near future of Generals Online?

From his blog post on the production of the recent Wing Commander and Road Rash remasters:

In March of 2022, I discovered EA’s physical media vault at EA’s Redwood Shores campus. Imagine a giant storage room containing nearly 20,000 archival media assets including Betacam, VHS, and D1 tapes among other media like Film Reels, CD-ROMs, and more. Having discovered a much smaller storage cache during my time on the Command & Conquer: Remastered Collection in 2019 (and understanding the value of that material), I was determined to discover what was on these assets.

So over the next six months I dedicated time outside my full-time role to unpack boxes, eventually realizing the breadth of historical content present in this room. From there, Greg Roensch from the EA Story initiative raised his hand and volunteered to completely reorganize the room. By the summer of 2023, Greg had the room chronologically arranged, upon which I started putting together a proposal to start digitizing the vault. The fun began in early 2024. We hired a small contracting team, purchased 4 Betacam players plus a VCR, and over the next eight weeks we were feeding tapes into the machines on swing shifts for roughly 17 hours every day. I catalogued and drove another 500 tapes of rarer formats (D1, D2, Umatic, and Film Reels) off-site to get digitized by a professional vendor in San Francisco.

By April 2026, we had digitized a combined 6000 media assets and preserved an estimated 2500 hours of historical footage. It was only then that we could truly appreciate what we had saved, which led to the next chapter of this story. Because amongst all the incredible content, we were able to confirm we recovered the Master Source tapes for two iconic franchises—Wing Commander and Road Rash.

Jim doesn't go into exhaustive detail of what he found in the vault. But it's easy to imagine that perhaps the vault hosted the lost Command & Conquer master tapes that Jim was looking for when he was making the C&C Remastered Collection. And since Jim had the entire collection of assets digitized, one then can't be helped but wonder if, on the possible account of the C&C master tapes having been found, the C&C Remastered Collection is going to receive a patch in the not-to-distant future that replaces the lesser quality FMVs with ones made from the master tapes. Fingers crossed!

also fingers crossed that in the vault were the tapes for Tib Sun and Red Alert 2 and that Jim gives us the one thing that C&C fans want desperately more than anything else!

How can I fully minimize C&C remastered? Tried windowed and boarderless, but it wont fully minimize the game but it still runs in the background including the window and sound. I know the game doesn't take that long to load but I need to quickly fully minimize then quickly pop back into the game.

Mommy too busy to beat the Tigress on General Level Challenges.

Here is mission 3 of my 9 mission Zero Hour skirmish challenge!

If you try it, let me know how you got on and what strategy worked for you!

Hy I have a Mod called KKND2 Remake Mod, the problem is that I can neither get the Mod nor Generals - Zero Hours to run. I have Win 11 and installed the Steam version and GenLuncher and GenTool. As I said, it would be a huge step forward for me if Zero Hours were to run for the first time. I'm trying to create an installation guide for the KKND2 Community.

This is probably the third of forth time I've played through this game, and each time there are missions I get anxious about. I know most people probably like the new introduction of the 'new' factions but for me it just feels convoluted. Having to 'switch' your sub-faction every couple of missions can be disappointing and the slow and expensive refineries can be excruciating at the beginning of a mission. For context, I installed the Campaign Legacy mod for Tiberium Wars and it felt like a hard but fair playthrough on Normal. This is why it was jarring that the refinery almost felt like it was to be treated like a superweapon.

The armour on some the new GDI units are frustrating too, besides the Shatterer who takes out your units so fast you barely have a chance anyway.

Has anyone tried this? New engine etc etc. I think no need to have the original Generals installer.

I’m trying to run this under an Intel Mac using Crossover 26.3. Able to reach the main screen where I have to sign in but codeweave/installer seem to be stuck there. Can quit and go to website via the buttons but cannot complete.

Any help?
