Wir machen endlich mal wieder einen Testcheck! Benedikt hat – wie schon in Folge 45 zu hören – den Echtzeitstrategie-Klassiker Dune 2 für sich entdeckt und seinen geschätzten Mitstreitern bei Games Insider vorgeschlagen, den seinerzeit kontrovers diskutierten Testbericht aus der Power Play 3/93 unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Andy war raus, Sönke als alter Wüstenfuchs hingegen begeistert – das Ergebnis hört ihr in diesem launigen Podcast, in dem auch der damalige Tester Michael Hengst in Einspielern zu Wort kommt. Viel Vergnügen beim Hören! Benedikt & Sönke Disclaimer: Leider ist bei Sönke während der Aufnahme etwas schiefgelaufen, die Soundqualität seiner Spur ist ab Minute 15 unter dem gewohnten Standard.

Today, we're diving into Command & Conquer: Renegade, the 2002 spinoff that took the beloved real-time strategy franchise into the first-person shooter genre. We start by exploring the origins of Command & Conquer at Westwood Studios and how the team sought to expand the universe beyond its RTS roots. Then, we'll examine how Renegade blended fast-paced combat with strategic elements, bringing the Tiberium War to life from a soldier's perspective. Finally, we'll reflect on the game's legacy, from its cult following to the fan-made Renegade X project that keeps the experience alive today.

The Command & Conquer (C&C) real-time strategy series, first developed by Westwood Studios, has been a genre-defining and commercially successful franchise ever since its introduction in the mid-nineties. Any kid from that era who grew up with a PC capable of playing games has likely played at least one title from the long running series. This podcast episode relives what it was like going through the installation, building an army, and talks about the strategies used way back when to help either the Global Defense Initiative or the Brotherhood of Nod to victory.

Pas trop vieux pour ces conneries revient pour un numéro spécial portant non pas sur œuvre précise mais sur (presque) toutes celles qui ont germé à la suite de la sortie du roman Dune de Frank Herbert. La sortie du second film de Denis Villeneuve est l'excuse que je cherchais pour mener une série d'entretiens avec différentes personnes qui souhaitaient aborder cette univers par des portes plus ou moins connues, plus ou moins grandes, mais qui se sont toutes révélées marquantes pour les invités que vous allez entendre. Il sera aussi question de l'empreinte laissée par l'ouvrage dans notre culture, ainsi que par certaines de ses adaptations. Ainsi, je remercie chacun des experts et/ou les habitués de l'émission qui se sont succédé à cette antenne, pour évoquer leur sujet de prédilection dans cet épisode, long et passionant : Lloyd Chéry, animateur du podcast C'est plus que de la SF et directeur de l'essai choral Tout sur Dune, coédité par les éditions L'Atalante & Leha. On évoquera d'ailleurs cette grande aventure commencée par Dune, le Mook ainsi que le film de David Lynch de 1984. Emmanuel Tollé / Herbefol, tenancier du blog littéraire (mais pas que) L'Affaire Herbefol. Lui a voulu nous parler des deux premières adaptations en jeu vidéo, celui de Cryo Interactive et le STR de Westwood Studios, The Battle for Arrakis. Fabien Leroy est éditeur et traducteur aux éditions Robert Laffont. C'est lui qui a a récemment révisé l'ensemble du cycle littéraire d'Herbert pour sa récente réédition chez l'éditeur, ainsi que chez Pocket. C'est justement les cinq autres romans écrits par Herbert dont on va discuter. Le traducteur et romancier Alex Nikolavitch, auteur de Le garçon avait grandi en un gast pays et du numéro dédié à H.P. Lovecraft chez Pop Icons, à quant à lui voulu parler des deux mini-séries télé, Dune et Les Enfants de Dune, qui avaient été diffusées sur la chaîne câblée SyFy au début des années 2000. Adaptations toujours, avec Pierre Salard, alias The Spaceshipper. Éminent spécialiste de la SF et notamment des vaisseaux et engins qui pullulent dans le genre, nous fait la primeur d'un gros article qui revient sur toutes les transpositions en film et en jeux… qui ne se sont pas faites. Et pas seulement celle de Jodorowsky. Enfin, Nicolas Allard, professeur de lettres, maître de conférence et auteur de nombreux essais, a voulu revenir sur les nombreuses empreintes laissées par Herbert chez les autres grands créatifs de la Pop Culture. C'est un sujet qu'il déploie dans son ouvrage Dune, un chef-d'œuvre de la science-fiction, disponible chez Pocket.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on 1991's Eye of the Beholder, from Westwood Studios and published by Strategic Simulations Inc. We set the game in its time before exploring its primary mechanics and the feel of being in this world. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: First level or two Issues covered: knowing who the evil is, tactical top down Gold Box, the opening cutscene, being amazed at how much they get into the Game Boy version of a Metroid game, lots of movie tie-ins, a wide variety of machines, lack of automap, being everything one wanted for a Forgotten Realms nerd, one of the ten games, semi real-time, living inside the depths of Waterdeep, a style of play which continues today, having to rest immediately, gaining information through audio, uncovering the whole map vs racing towards the goal, tournament play, losing is fun, the only way out is through, annotating a later map, interacting with the play space, accessibility and the mouse, contextualization and abstraction in game design, having to throw weapons in the world, how cool the audio is, using items to locate yourself, creating a party, crunchy spells, shout-outs to upcoming work, difficulty in the bosses in Metroid games then and now, games influencing games, getting the green light, justifying the game via the sweet spot of trends, why not just make this a Star Wars game, how green lighting changes with bigger franchises, games that changed our perspectives. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Gold Box games, Westwood Studios, Dune 2, A Link to the Past, Super Castlevania IV, SNES, Mega Man 4, Final Fantasy IV, Metroid II: Return of Samus (and Metroid series), Sonic the Hedgehog, Sega Genesis, Battletoads, Rare, Stamper Bros, Civilization, Another World, Space Quest IV, Monkey Island 2, Wing Commander 2, Hudson Hawk, Terminator 2, American Gladiators, Hunt for Red October, The Godfather, Amiga, PC-98, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Apple ][, Spectrum ZX, Amstrad, Questron, Disney, Legend of Kyrandia, Command and Conquer (series), Electronic Arts, Earth and Beyond, Louis Castle, Brett Sperry, Strategic Simulations Incorporated, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, Pool of Radiance, The Ruins of Myth Drannor, Ultima (series), Wizardry (series), A Bard's Tale (series), Ultima Underworld, Dungeon Master, Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest (series), Diablo, Wasteland, Temple of Elemental Evil, Legend of Grimrock, Etrian Odyssey (series), The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh, The Tomb of Horrors, Infocom, Ocarina of Time, Rogue, Deluxe Paint, Baldur's Gate, Jarkko Sivula, Single Malt Apocalypse, Sierra, LucasArts, Wierd Tales, Amazing Stories, Tintin, Pippin Barr, David Wolinsky, Game Thing, The Stuff Games Are Made Of, Walker, Dark Souls, Nintendo, Skyrim, Breath of the Wild, Johnny Pockets, Mad Max, Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango, Republic Commando, Sam and Max: Freelance Police, Bounty Hunter, RTX Red Rock, Gladius, PlayStation, Tomb Raider (series), Halo: Infinite, Quake, MYST, Lode Runner, Sabotage, Robotron 2084, Joust, Dark Forces, WoW Classic, Everquest, MUD, Ultima Online, Meridian 59, Adventure, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.

260 ...Command & Conquer Remastered - die gute alte Zeit des sich gegenseitig strategisch wegfeuern und warum es trotzdem (k)einen Spaß macht! Wow, ich kann es gar nicht fassen, dass es schon fast 30 Jahre her sein soll, dass Command & Conquer auf dem PC erschienen ist. Ich hatte damals doppelt das Nachsehen, war ich doch komplett auf einer Mac-Struktur in meiner Selbstständigkeit unterwegs. Und als es dann endlich, allen Gerüchten und Absagen zum Trotz kam, hatte EA nicht alle angekündigten Funktionen eingebaut. Zum Beispiel, dass man Mac und PC übers, damals noch junge Internet einwählen und so miteinander gegeneinander zocken kann. Somit saß ein alter Freund von mir fast jedes Wochenende bei mir an einem weiteren Mac mit einem Ethernetkabel und einer C&C-Installation und wir schossen uns stundenlang die Hucke voll. Kaum zu glauben, siehe auch das Bild unten, in der ich die Remastered-Bildqualität und in Teilen, die von 1995 und danach dargestellt habe. Aber: es macht heute noch Spaß, allerdings auch nicht wirklich! Es ist so 30 Jahre her und doch macht es mit der neuen Qualität Spaß, es zu zocken, aber: Command&Conquer Remastered! / Bild-/Quelle: ibdnhubzs.de An sich verwundert es nicht, dass die Westwood Studios, als ursprünglicher Entwickler von Command & Conquer einer Neuauflage zugestimmt haben. Und Electronic Arts, kurz EA, ohnehin nicht. Schade nur, dass man, wenn man nach C&C keinen neuen Klassiker mehr auf den Markt gebracht hat, obwohl man damit eine ganz neue Kategorie der Spiele aufgemacht hat, die Chance für ein echtes Revival nicht genutzt hat. Stattdessen hat man, knapp dreißig Jahre danach, das erste und ursprüngliche C&C genommen, die Grafiken erneut durch einen Intel Pentium I gejagt und das Ergebnis als Download für eine kleine Summe zum Kauf angeboten. Nur leider hat man sonst nichts geändert! Gut, ich will nicht jammern, so bin ich für knapp 20 € gute 30 Jahre später auch in den Besitz (eigentlich Eigentum) der ersten Edition von Command and Conquer gekommen, da ich mittlerweile nur noch auf der Windows-Plattform unterwegs bin. Ich hätte da aber ein ernstzunehmendes "ABER!" einzuwerfen: wenn man schon die Grafiken hochgerendert hat, aber für Nostalgiker mit einem Tastenkürzel jederzeit auf die 30 Jahre alte Pixelsuppe umschalten kann - warum hat man die Gesamtperformance des Spiels nicht einfach auch nach oben aufgebohrt? Grafik hui, Spielegeschwindigkeit pfui! Ich habe also Grafiken, die die grauen Punkte tatsächlich als Soldaten identifizieren lassen. Und größere graue Flecken sind nicht irgendwelche Fahrzeuge, sonst klar trennbare Panzer oder schnelle bewaffnete Buggys. Wunderbar. Auch die Hunde sind nun zu erkennen und nicht erst, wenn ein Teil eines Baumstammes aus dem Nichts Beine bekommt und losrennt.

In der heutigen Folge sprechen Chris und Robin über Brett Sperry und Louis Castle. Wem diese Namen nichts sagen, dann vielleicht der Name der Spieleschmiede, die die beiden Gaming-Pioniere aus der Taufe hoben. Die Rede ist von Westwood Studios, die uns mit Titeln wie Dune 2, Command & Conquer oder Eye of the Beholder beglückt haben. Die Liste an Erfolgstiteln des Unternehmens ist lang und obwohl es das Studio schon 20 Jahre nicht mehr gibt, hat es ein unvergessliches Vermächtnis hinterlassen. Heute schauen wir uns einmal den Werdegang etwas genauer an und wie uns Westwood in unserer Jungend geprägt hat.

This week, we're deploying COMMAND AND CONQUER into perhaps hostile territory, as the RTS classic attempts to take ground on the Nintendo 64. We look back at the history of the once-prolific series, including a deep dive into the dearly departed Westwood Studios, and see if C&C can break the console RTS curse. Also, we're both very tired and overhot this episode, so it gets a little slappy.    Hosted by Steve Guntli and Woody Ciskowski    Logo by Steve Guntli / Updated logo by Barry Shaw    Theme song: "Truck" by The Octopus Project (theoctopusproject.com)   ultra64podcast.com    Twitter: @ultra64podcast    Email: ultra64podcast@gmail.com    Instagram: @ultra64podcast    Patreon: patreon.com/ultra64pod    Next week's episode: Pokemon Stadium / Pokemon Stadium 2

Wir schreiben das Jahr 1993. Die in Las Vegas beheimateten Westwood Studios veröffentlichen ihr neues PC-exklusives Rollenspiel: Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos. Hatten die Kalifornier 1991 mit Eye of the Beholder und dessen Nachfolger bereits zwei sehr gute Spiele nach Machart des Klassikers Dungeon Masters abgeliefert, markiert das zugängliche Lands of Lore den Höhepunkt des klassischen Dungeon-Crawler-Konzepts. Neben den obligatorischen Kerkern und Höhlen bietet die atmosphärische Fantasy-Welt auch lauschige Wälder, miefige Sümpfe und mittelalterliche Städte. Sinnvolle Komfortfunktionen, erinnerungswürdige Charaktere nebst der Hexe Scotia als Fiesling des Spiels, eine gesunde Portion Humor sowie eine prächtige Grafik, die Amiga- und Atari-ST-Besitzer vor Neid erblassen lässt, runden das Rollenspiel ab. Und die Edel-Synchronisation der 1994 nachgereichten CD-Version ist für die damalige Zeit eine kleine Sensation. Doch wie spielt sich der Rollenspiel-Klassiker fast 30 Jahre später, wenn man ihn zuvor noch nie gezockt hat? Spitzet die Ohren und lauschet, Benedikt nimmt euch mit auf eine packende Retrorunde!
