Commandos-Like Commandos: Origins from Kalypso coming March

[REhorror]

It just looks strange...

And I'm a Commandos 2 fan.

No swastikas, no buy.

That is a very weird hill to die on.

It is not. Censoring swastikas in a game about nazis is just dumb. I played the original Commandos that had swastikas in them (as did plenty of other games back then whenever the nazis were involved) and it was fine because it was done for historical accuracy, not to promote the Third Reich (and you were basically fighting the bad guys). This includes Japan, by the way.

 

[Baron Dupek]

If they're scared of swastikas then maybe they should change regimes to other one...

 

[Parsimonious cook]

I wouldnt be that surprised if there were missions against Italians and Japs - Japs after all were already in Men of Courage.

 

[Zombra]

Censoring swastikas in a game about nazis is just dumb.

Sure it's kind of pointless, but so what? If "they did something kind of pointless" is this game's greatest flaw, then it will be the best game of all time.

Such censorship is an insult to the fans (and, yes, I consider myself a fan of Commandos) and to history. Stupid behavior like that ought not to be rewarded as it only encourages developers and publishers to keep doing what they are doing. This is why I ignored the remaster of Men of Courage, otherwise I'd have bought it.

If "they did something kind of pointless" is this game's greatest flaw, then it will be the best game of all time.

Commandos 2 was one of the best games of all time for me.

 

[NaturallyCarnivorousSheep]

Given that they're German based I don't think they have a choice.

 

[ferratilis]

Commandos 2 is one of the best games of all time.

FTFY

 

[Reinhardt]

so we fighting extremists or terrorsists or what?

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Can't they just replace nazi symbology with logos of parties that are currently ruling germany?

Windmills of friendship are here unlike HD versions.

 

[DemonKing]

Swastikas have been allowed in German video games for over five years now...

Anyone else than Mimimi games making a Commandos game is just blasphemy.

Yes, I know they've shut down.

Kali-yuga.

 

[Gandalf]

Cool looking plane. Is this JU 52 by any chance?

 

[Child of Malkav]

Anyone else than Mimimi games making a Commandos game is just blasphemy.

There'll be others able to make such games, maybe not as polished though. The genre survived before and without Mimimi and will continue to stay alive even after Mimimi. It's sad but not the end of the world.

 

[El Presidente]

No swastikas, no buy.

That is a very weird hill to die on.

Ignoring 412 people is the very weird hill to die on here you insufferable little faggot

Gameplay Teaser:



Looks good, although gameplay examples are a bit on the simple side. Still, could just be the tutorial level.

 

[Jonathan "Zee Nekomimi]

gameplay looks a bit shitty, also i see many references to the OG maps if not straight up worse copy cats.

[Child of Malkav]

Looks similar to Mimimi's games, art style, colors, viewcones, sound visualization etc.

 

[Morgoth]

It's almost certainly not gonna be as good as the originals, seeing it also being made for consoles.

 

[Catacombs]

Looks similar to Mimimi's games, art style, colors, viewcones, sound visualization etc.

Mimimi's were influenced by the original Commando games.

 

[Child of Malkav]

Mimimi's were influenced by the original Commando games.

I don't remember if they had the sound visualization thingy.

 

[Zombra]

The Mimimi games are on console and have excellent UIs and gameplay depth on PC. Same with Jagged Alliance 3. Even Commandos 2 was on Playstation and remember how bad that was on PC? "Console version = bad game" is an outdated meme.
