Conspicuously missing are the games released in between Red Alert and Renegade, that is, Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2. They were the logical next remaster targets after Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert, so here's to hoping that they've not released their source code because they're still working on a remaster that they just haven't announced yet...
I was thinking exactly the same, RA2 (+ the Yuri's Revenge expansion) are where the C&C series peaked in quality and replayability IMHO, I've been waiting for a remaster for a long time. So I'm desperately hoping the same as you, that their absence from these lists means we're finally getting a remastered version.
My thoughts exactly, time to buy up some old Marshall products, store them for a couple decades, sell them for a premium as 'proper Marshall units before they were bought out by the chinese'.
I did the exact same when a Chinese car manufacturer bought out the British car manufacturer MG Rover. I bought a decent-ish example of one of their later (but still British made) cars and tidied it up. The plan was to store it away for decades and reap a tidy profit later on, but I discovered it's actually a ton of fun to drive. Nowhere near as fast as modern cars, especially in the corners due to more modern suspension geometry, but because everything is so simple and basic (the throttle pedal connects directly to a butterfly valve with a steel cable, no electronics in the way deciding how much power I'm allowed) it's awesome fun to drive and cheap and easy to repair.
Not that I'd risk an ecosystem on that, but in a nice BSL-4 lab? There's enough to learn to risk that.
Agreed. Especially since their opposite chirality only protects from attack by biological methods, all the chemical methods of killing bacteria will work just fine. E.g. antiseptics that destroy bacterial cell membranes by denaturing proteins will work equally well on these mirror-bacteria as they do on normal bacteria. Also the hydrochloric acid in your stomach.
Nitpick: if you're hitting 16Hz because your room is small, it's standing waves and by definition not sounding the way it should. Whereas a Dolby certified cinema does sound as it should.
If we're being really nitpicky, you don't really 'hear' much below 20 or 25Hz anyway, regardless of room size, you feel it as a tactile sensation, which doesn't really depend on room size. This is why many home theatres don't use speakers to create such frequencies, they use tactile transducers attached to the furniture (e.g. Buttkicker products et al.). I use a combination of both.
There isn't a home theater setup on the planet that can match the picture and sound quality of the laser projector and high-end sound system that my preferred cinema has...
Respectfully disagree.
Video: yes if you're streaming then the quality will be limited by available bandwidth. If you have a 4K bluray, a decent 4K OLED, light controlled room, sit close enough to the screen that it fills the same solid angle of vision as a cinema screen would, you're there. Yes the cinemas have access to higher quality digital files but 99% of people either do not have the visual acuity to notice or wouldn't care if they did. I would only be able to notice by doing a side-by-side comparison AND pixel peeping.
Audio: The vast majority of cinemas are just loud, they are not giving particularly high fidelity sound. If you like the super deep bass effects, you can not only match but easily exceed the low frequency response of a cinema simply by virtue of being in a much smaller space. My sound system (which cost less than £10K using used and DIY components) can hit 16Hz at 110dB with minimal distortion, which is easy enough because the room I'm using is only a couple thousand cubic feet. Recreating the same level of deep bass in a cinema-size space is possible, but far from practical, and certainly not economical. You won't be hearing/feeling much below 30Hz in most cinemas.
And then there's all the other benefits. Once I've bought the bluray and the hardware I can watch that movie repeatedly for free. There's nobody else there to annoy me. I can pause whenever I like. The snacks and drinks are not massively overpriced. I don't have to travel anywhere.
