Red Alert Looks Much Worse Than C&C - Graphically

[JDPUK]

Just noticed a lot of the YT videos uploaded last night and I was surprised to see that RA looks worse graphically compared to C&C in this remastered version. Neither are great, though C&C definitely looks tremendously better, IMO. Your thoughts on this?

That's because the new remastered version uses 4K variants of the units. Red Alert isn't that much older than C&C is so it's not like this is a big surprise.

Edit: Okay, noticed he's comparing the two remastered versions. Which is weird because both look the same to me.

I thought they would have looked the same, using the same technology and rendering for both games, given their both remastered, just thought they would use the same graphics upgrades for both games.

They look more or less the same - great

Not on the videos that were just uploaded last night on YT, probably one of the paid promoters for it, there's definitely a very noticeable difference between them.

Link? the game has a toggle between Remastered and original sprites, so it's possible the video could have been showing the difference

It's much more noticeable on buildings and structures.

I've seen that and the guy who made it actually missed out a few things and he mixed up the cruiser with the destroyer

I mean we're looking at still images which are zoomed in and could have been captured at any resolution vs a 1080p gameplay and map editor video. I highly doubt RA assets will be of lower quality

Both look great to me.
