Any gamers around here?

There's another game I got at the game store called Hocus that is composed of impossible objects and a cube that rolls around from one hole the other.
It's like a 3 dimensional maze, that starts out very easy and gets progressively harder as you go from puzzle to puzzle.

Command and Conquer Legions is out, and boy, is it ...something.

Of course I realize that no C&C mobile game could possibly be satisfying, but this is subpar even for mobile games.  Truly we live in the darkest timeline.

Naturally, the corporate takeaway is that C&C fans are unpleasable, but there's a lot that could be done that would both please players and make a moderate amount of profit - it'll just require a moderate amount of effort, which is the true deal-breaker.

For starters, fans are clamoring for remastered versions of Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 and Generals.  The Tiberian Dawn/Red Alert 1 remaster made an estimated profit of $8 million dollars, which is nothing to sneeze at.  These other titles are FAR more popular, though may require more effort to remaster.  Still, you're looking at another $8 million in profit minimum, probably several times that.  It's unusual behavior for a developer to leave money on the table like this.

Secondly, fans would be delighted with anything resembling Generals 2.  So yes, it'll need to be a PC title, obviously.  Basically, the standard base-building and tactical warfare game with a selectable General who could be upgraded and specialized.  None of this is particularly ground-breaking or exceptionally difficult to create, and has been done before to varying degrees in C&C games already, so we're not asking for the moon here.  The most difficult part may be just getting the right aesthetic mix to gel, but all they already know what works and what doesn't, so just follow the formula (B action movie tropes, dark comedy, hard rock, etc) and you're golden.

Maybe they could call it Comm'n'Conq

I'm a Sonic fan, but I've been disappointed more often than not with Sonic games, so tend to approach them with cautious optimism. Recently, they've been making some good moves, though. This remaster of Generations has me pretty excited. They added a new playable character, with his own levels, bosses, story, 3D hub world, and abilities. One of my biggest complaints about the original was that it was too short, and this new content will definitely help with that.
