New Carrier Command

-=ARA=- · 17 September 2009, 20:52

Hello EAB!

My brother just sent me this.

I must say that I am quite surprised, I didn´t think anyone still remembered Carrier Command these days.
I don´t know if it´s going to be any good, but I wanted to share the ”news” with you guys.

This was posted ages ago, but nice to resurface it.
That teaser is video is old.

Carrier Command is an awesome game, even now,

I tend to feel that remakes are fairly pointless 99% of the time because good or bad, the newer experience never captures that true essence of what we remember in the original - in truth that's impossible though anyway i think

This new one might even be a good game but it's never going to be the same

I think it could be better. Loved CC but always thought the 3D gfx on Amiga sucked and distracted from the realism. We now wait to see how much they have tweaked the gameplay.

Lost me, as you just said it was posted last year.

. I didnt even look at them.

@Adropac2

Pinball Dreams & Pinball Fantasy remakes on the iPhone & iPod Touch are pretty awesome.

Adropac2 · 17 September 2009, 23:14

Yes Alexh as a game i think the concept could be taken further and of course it would look fantastic these days.Mind you the visual side too CC on Amiga although basic as you would expect(Amiga did have better looking 3d i suppose) , did a great job at 100% convincing me i was in a real enviroment at the time

Sequels can occasionally be done right so who knows

Are they enhanced ports Pyro or reimagined altogether.Ports don't usually suffer too much

It's when games get reworked they can often be made worse such as Sentinel when that went over to ps1 - mind you that's only what iv'e heard about that particular conversion

welcome to EAB.

almost forgot about that game, wasnt that bad. not sure if its the same feeling, playing it 20 years later, but gfx of the remake looks pretty good.

God, I hope this still has the same open-ended gameplay that the original had. Go anywhere, set up islands for supply lines, engage, withdraw, etc.

But I bet it goes the scripted mission route, and becomes all console-samey

you could set up supply lines?

I never did get into the game, I was thoroughly confused with it. I was already happy if I could blow something up before sinking :s

I was happy if I could do anything in this game...
