Ra1/TD remastered will be on steam, what about modding?

I just watched their trailer video. The graphics look extremely detailed. Leaves me to wonder, if they are using real 3d models in the game, but just made to look 2D? Or it is still a sprite sheet based game? It has steam workshop support though, how would we mod it? Any info?

BTW, they made a terrible mistake with localization in steam shop. Should be ????? (command and conquer), they somehow gave a “?????” (fortune and conquer) translation. LOL. Can someone tell EA about this?

It's all 2d sprites that are just significantly higher quality. I imagine Steam Workshop support is going to be just to host player maps, since no official word on modding support has been given as far as I can tell.

I think they photoshop over the old sprite but some might require actual 3d render like infantry unit which originally seem to be done by pixel art.

from the trailer smooth game play FPS and clear detail units (specialize infantry) make the scene look beautiful.

Checked the trailer details. Almost sure it is HD renders of 3d models - they use different shadow angles for infantry, aircraft and vehicle/buildings, to keep the original feeling? If they are real-time renders of 3d models in the scene there is no good reason for this variation.

About the localization mistakes: Chinese fans already started to call it fate/conquer. LOL.

Maybe for the Units but the building detail seem too pixel accurate for me to believe it's 3d render unless they did some extra torch on top of it. (they're company after all.)

and some how I hope the game support controller. XD

I can't complain about the Brazilian localization, as far as I could see Steam's page of the game. It looks correct for me.

I would guess they made some HD models and rendered them. Not quite suprising, as in China we have plenty of fan artworks that recreate old ra2. Pixel accurate could just be the result of texture work.
