[QUOTE=KorJax;50162803]The biggest draw of C&C back in the day was it did such a good job of communicating its style, lore, story and atmosphere in a genre that felt a lot more fresh back in the day. They were games that kicked ass in presentation and kicked ass in gameplay (for the time, now it is a bit dated).[/QUOTE]
Absolutely this. The dark aesthetic of Tiberian Sun really sold the apocalyptic setting, and the highly detailed pixel art and models really added a believable sense of realism to the game. They certainly compelled me when I was younger because of their ability to tell a story - not so much on the balance of the units, or the possibility of it being played competitively. The trailer for 8-Bit looks very much like it's focused on strictly the strategy, rather than the ability create a compelling universe.

why don't we just say byte
I think it looks cute.
And it is from the guys who made Star Wars Empire At War.
I know when the company was founded it was made by Westwood Studios veterans, dunno how many are still there.
