'We felt the 2D style was the best way to bring all these elements together, and ultimately achieve the authenticity we were looking for.' 'When we recovered the source code to C&C Tiberian Dawn and C&C Red Alert, this gave us a viable avenue to accurately match the core gameplay, feel, and signature look of the legacy titles,' Vessella explained.
This is a remaster, not a remake after all. In a blog post, producer Jim Vessella said the remaster has been developed in the classic 2D visual style, which keeps it authentic to the original. Command & Conquer Remastered, which includes a remaster of the original C&C as well as a remaster of Command & Conquer: Red Alert and their expansion packs (Covert Ops, Counterstrike, and Aftermath), is in the works at Petroglyph Games and Lemon Sky Studios.
