Suggestion: Classic Interface for C&C Remastered

[Klaxons]

I've already created same topic on "EA Answers HQ" but I believe, it's not a crime to duplicate it here.

Since I found updated graphics pretty cool, sometimes I just wish to play it in old way.. Gladly theres a nice switch in the game which allow me to do so, but a little thing in my mind are still concern.

It's all about classic interface for "Construction Menu" and pointers. For some reason - it wasn't included in the game. Yet, I wish to play in fully authentic mode sometimes, so here is my suggestion.

If possible, add classic interface with three options in graphic settings:
- Always classic
- Always remastered
- Switchable by "Space" button

Hope I'm not the only one wish to see such option in the game Standard smile Beside that remaster is really cool! Good old days are here again to warm my heart for a little more.

Er... wasn't this in the "options" where you can switch between classic and remastered? I remember because in "Classic" you could only build one unit at a time when I tested it out.

There was this moron named FORD who complained that he couldn't adapt to the new interface. He posted his own topic, and after 9+ pages of autistic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, it turns out that the new sidebar was his primary issue.

lol, I have no idea what induces such backward thinking. The new in-game interface (side-bar) kicks the ♥♥♥♥ out of the old one.

But unlike FORD, you seem to just want the old sidebar for nostalgia, not because you're incapable of using the new one.

I humbly approve, though don't think that's gonna be implemented any time soon; the old side bar is inferior to the new one in every way possible, and it's unlikely the devs could just code in a simple switch for old to new.

hey Cat, you around? Explain why you don't like the new sidebar. You're the only significant player I've noted who's objected to it.

he's talking about old school sidebar

@Televators: amirite?

The true question is: would you buy the ultimate collection on origin just to see the old sidebar?

Yes, it's not too much of "functionality" concern to me. Yet, I know, theres alot of problems with Remaster besides nostalgia issues. I just beleve, more work is yet to come, but such things like classic interface unlikely gonna be on top of the list, so I wish to remember they are still important.

Also it's possable to create a mod for this purpose (probably) but still better to have it as an official addition, imho.

@Televators: What the ♥♥♥♥ are you talking about? No one can mod sidebars. Thats graphical interface programing, not editing unit stats or adding new units. Different ballgame there.

The OG side-bar acts completely different from the new side bar. So it's gonna be different from just switching from High Res GFX to OG GFX. It could be doable, since they do have the OG source code. But I dunno.

Next: "theres alot of problems with Remaster". What problems are there a lot of? Come on man, we're getting sick of these half assed attempts at calling the game "broken." You gotta try harder. It's for the greater good.

Do you mean the harvester AI? Yes that is a problem. But that's only one, that's not a lot. ELABORATE; what other so called "problems" are you personally facing?

Skirmish AI? Wrong screen borders recognition after some Alt+Tabs (prevents me to move map down and right with mouse)? Missing sound in all movies after some launches?

[Mackintoke]

Skirmish AI is not problem, it's same as original game. Alt + Tab and missing sound is either an issue on your end or is patch-able on their end. I personally haven't experienced those two issues so I think it's on your end.

But again, that's not A LOT of issues. lol, you guys gotta stop with the hyberbole. It's gettin tedious.

If code is open - it's open. And I heard that it's open, so probably anyone with appropriate skills can mod the interface.
I know, cose I do with one other game which still has closed source code and all works pretty fine.

[Mackintoke]

@Televators: Fair enough. It should be possible to revert to the original sidebar thru source code.

Hey, chill down man! I didn't start this topic like "Remaster suck, give me my true kingdom or fully refund!" I just wish to see a little more goodies in already excellent performed job.

Good point. I'll drink to that! More goodies indeed!
