I think the most genuinely impressive thing about Joseph Kucan's performance as Kane throughout the entire franchise is that he's not even a full time actor. His main job while working on all the games was actually in being the Casting Director at Westwood. It's just that when they were making Tiberium Dawn, they just had him do some placeholder footage as Kane for reference while they searched for someone else to play the character. At some point down the line though, they just said "Fuck it" and let Kucan play the part full time because no one else could do as good of a job at playing the character. And thus one of the most iconic villain performances in gaming history was born.

What? Red Alert 2 was the shit, I don't know what you're talking about. Just because EA had already acquired Westwood doesn't mean they had full control over the studio at the time. The studio was still allowed creative control as par with their contract to EA. Red Alert 2 is my favorite C&C game man. I remember as a kid I loved the first C&C Red Alert (I was one of the few who played it on the PS1, because we couldn't afford a computer), but when I first bought the second one, that game blew my fucking mind. I was only like fourteen, but regardless I still hold it as my favorite. Also, I prefer the Red Alert timeline over the Tiberium timeline. It is the same universe, yeah, but both games take place on different timelines. Tiberium Sun just made everything weird and cheesy in the Tiberium universe, like a B-list Direct-to-Video science fiction film.
@somedrunkasshole21529 жыл бұрын
Well, as far as I know they are still in the same multiverse. It is hinted at several times that Yuri was one of Kane's disciples, through which Kane sent him into the Red Alert timeline for some reason that I can't remember ATM. Yuri then used his powers to further his own end. As far as I know, he was pretty much like "fuck Kane. While serve in the Brotherhood when I can lead in the Soviet Union (and eventually the world)?" when he got to the Red Alert timeline.
@somedrunkasshole21529 жыл бұрын
Some Drunk Asshole That is an interesting theory which I never heard of. Well Kane already is in Red Alert, so he doesn't need to send anyone. Also in Red Alert: the Aftermath there is a mission where you control Yuri and need to rescue him. So both characters are already in the game.

Wish we could have seen a continuation of Westwood’s story from this game. I’d have liked to have seen what they had in store when Kane turned on his devoted yet gullible Nod sheep and whether GDI and Nod end up fighting Kane, possibly with or without the Scrin. Although they kinda did that with the ending of Firestorm, where Kane and Cabal are the secret team the whole time which explains they lack of dialogue between each other in TS. I’d like to think Kane has the Chronosphere from Red Alert and has been travelling through history with it, trying to set himself as a God, even though he’s some power hungry guy... possibly the biblical Cain who killed whoever went back to that era with the Chronosphere and stole it from them. I don’t think he’d be an alien. I think he may have tried to fuck with the Scrin who probably saw him as person of interest from afar and wanted his Chronosphere or something, or he stupidly contacted them and they just saw an opportunity to assimilate Earth as their own.

I think the most genuinely impressive thing about Joseph Kucan's performance as Kane throughout the entire franchise is that he's not even a full time actor. His main job while working on all the games was actually in being the Casting Director at Westwood. It's just that when they were making Tiberium Dawn, they just had him do some placeholder footage as Kane for reference while they searched for someone else to play the character. At some point down the line though, they just said "Fuck it" and let Kucan play the part full time because no one else could do as good of a job at playing the character. And thus one of the most iconic villain performances in gaming history was born.
I know I’m a year late, but that’s actually really interesting. I’ve been a C&C fan as long as I can remember, and I still learn something new every now and then. Now all we need is the band to get back together for Tiberian Incursion.
He wasn't a full-time actor then, but today he is, for the most part. He founded "A Public Fit" theatre company in Vegas, and now does acting and directing full time. Through his podcasts he seems to be passionate about it too.

"I live for Kane. And I die for Kane. The difference is trivial." And this is why Slavik is so dangerous. Because he believes, and nothing can shake that. Mac is just a glory-hounding action hero by comparison.

The production quality in the old Westwood games is far far better than what EA is currently making. I mean, look at those awesome Nod Combat Armor props, I would love to have one.

Firestorm was alright, but I think it should've just stayed as a fight between Nod and GDI, kinda never liked the 'Oh look now old enemies must work together to defeat a new and a bit more evil enemy' trope that keeps popping up in a lot of the old school RTS games.
The problem is that the CABAL story was suppose to have a more long term effect in the story but EA being EA changed the lore for CnC 3.

Almost same memories here but with Starcraft. Tiberian Sun came a bit later.
I just noticed again how good the camera work and directing is; Slavik: "the Brotherhood is only interested in peace." He walks into view and your just see his sidearm in its holster!
Obviously NOD is a charlatan campaign. They speak of peace when on the other hand Nod is classified as a terrorist association
What I love the most in Westwood games. The occasional "I shoot this guy because of reasons you don't understand. I'll just say "Traitor" and leave the rest to your imagination."
Not quite... It was heavily implied that the guy who got shot, framed Slavik in cooperation with Hasan and allowed Slavik to be captured.
Also, "Instead of allowing you to detonate this C4 device when you're good and ready, YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS TO GTFO THE WAY!"
@@leonardbleeker1310 As a stupid 11yo kid playing this game the nod campaign was very confusing.
@@feddyvonwigglestein3481 Douchebag AI gave Slavik a scorching wedgie as a sitcom prank
@@leonardbleeker1310 heavily implied? No, just the word “traitor”, like he said
Cabal has some of the most savage lines in any game I’ve ever played. The Nod soldiers’ helmets are so goddamn awesome.
their technology is unreal!
Though Red Alert 2 was my favorite C&C game, Tiberian Sun had a very specific atmosphere to it that made is so unique and eerie.... I loved it. Especially Firestorm. Cabal was a short-lived but really disturbing enemy.
I happened to have met Joseph Kucan (Kane) in real life :D The man is incredible!
Where did you met him?
I met him in Utrecht at the Free Record Shop a couple of years ago, he was there to promote C&C 4 (not a clue why you would want to come there but hey i didn't mind xD) and talked with him about 10 minutes after giving him a pre-birthday present because it was his bd 2 days later.
Yes I did! Back to back pose, it was a legendary moment :D
Reading it now, it's awesome, thanks mate!
Jejking i would have screamed KANE LIVES IN DEATH!!!
07:28 - oh, the memories. Getting the game on release day, fidgeting when it installed, and then THAT reveal. I can't think of many games managing to send shivers down my spine like this did back in 99...
Yeah I got up very early on my birthday, unwrapped this, installed it and went through the first few Nod missions, to about this point. Blew my young mind
"The name is McNeill when they ask who beat you" Great line.
I always thought he said something like Ass coo. Made me think he was talking about the Alaskan eskimos for some reason.
CABAL and EVE voice are the best throughout westwood. You never find game quite like this where the madman did it for once destroy the earth
The earth wasn’t destroyed, it was terraformed and humanity evolved.
You can't forget about the 'EVA' from Red Alert. His voice is so iconic (RIP). Westwood did a great job with all of their games actually. I would say all of them are the best, because it is impossible for me to pick my favourite. They all match their respective games perfectly. CABAL is the most intimidating though.
Slavik is so hilariously intense in some scenes, and the thumbnail.
@FuckYouAllToPieces was a fucken badass. It is revealed in "The Wrath of Kane" expansion that he was killed. Which was extremely sad to find out.
@Artuurs Z. very true. I actually hated that explanation. I would have been happier if they just said he retired to some island.
I mean if you read up on the NOD climate at the time it makes sense. There were 4 splinter factions of NOD after Kane disappeared. GDI obviously had control of one of them (Marcion) and the only man who truly was loyal to Kane and willing to fight for him against 4 factions of NOD forces claiming their own leaders were the true messiah; let's just say it makes sense somebody got to Slavick somehow.
@Artuurs Z. How?
Slavik is awesome and it'd be amazing if he was indeed brought back, but it kinda makes sense. Remember, not everyone's immortal like Kane.
2:10 is one of the funniest scenes I have ever seen! I laugh every single time. "Sir!, It's an honor to have you back..." BANG! UGHHH! "Traitor."
5:15 - "control the media, control the mind" Way ahead of its time.
Mainstream media did not want you to know that!!!
reminder that GDI's most important and well defended base fell because of one thirsty boi
That guy is such a simp
@@preadatordetector he sure is
Romans said that Rome is eternal. Genghis Khan said that he's eternal. Mafia said that they're eternal. Only boobs stay silent and keep seducing. Always.
A smoking hot blonde gave him attention
Nods armor was so cool in this one
The mammoth cutscene is so sick, actually a lot of Tiberium cutscenes reside in my mind in childhood, and I often play my own cutscenes of battles between GDI and NOD. The depressing mysterious music and atmosphere really immerse myself into the game, same as Max Payne with Rainy, Snowy New York City
6:50 Best C&C cut scene ever. My opinion.
+Scott Wylie Best cut scene in any video game! It sends chills down my spine every time i watch it.
Agreed, best C&C cutscene by far! I love how "over the top" Anton Slavik is acted too :)
Dude.. watching Hassan get his throat cut like that at 7 years old was intense as fuck. At 25 it’s still a damn good scene. I wish more games would do live action stuff like this
Like a new hitler.
there's also 23:00 :D
One of the best games ever created. And those cinematic are among the best, if not best ever in any game. It's almost like from some series or movie.
On a par with Red Alert 2, both my favorites.
I used to play the Nod campaign solely because of Monika Schnarre. Also, it's quite impressive how politically relevant and prophetic this campaign's storyline is.
The C&C games really predicted a lot of modern day warfare and political happenings quite well.
@@ugiustuskeiserus8066 I see no political or military tactic here that haven't been used IRL for millenia. Perhaps this is where _you personally_ first saw them and therefore naively assumed that the game devs invented them.
I still like how Kane is watching through the screen as if there's no camera and he can litterly see through the screen
I love how at 13:49 and 21:58 variations of No Mercy from the original C&C is played. I feel it really ties the feeling together with the original game in a subtle way. I think Frank Klepacki did this brilliantly, just like he did in the Yuri's Revenge track Drok where he after 56 seconds introduces the theme from original Hell March at 4 min 25 sec into that track.
Yeah, Frank did that a lot with the C&C soundtracks
Interesting. Been listening to these music tracks for over 20 years by this point but I've never noticed that before o_o
I've always been a NOD soldier, but if I wasn't, 21:00 would immediately change my fate.
All this superior technology, Stealth tanks, lasers, cloaking fields, nuclear missiles, tiberium radiation projectors.... and what sways the little GDI soldier boy is a little bit of T&A. Well played, sister.
FATEd Pondera railguns,enormous ion cannon weapons of harmonic resonance millitary tactics not a bunch of babbons always battle thenselves xD
Slavik's tone when he said "Nice work" at 21:56 made me wonder.... ...did they have sex?
@@PaiSAMSEN The woman is a high ranking officer and a media guru. Let's just stay professional and call it a foreign affair. That guy sure received some divination!
I still love the style here. The uniforms, the props, the atmosphere... it's like watching a really cool sci-fi movie. Then C&C 3 happened, and it made everything more casual and contemporary - no more cool uniforms, no armors, NOD turned into straight up gangstas running around in hoodies and sneakers, what a joke. And then, C&C 4. Which shouldn't exist. I'm kinda glad Slavik died before the shit show started. He lived in the Brotherhood's golden age. If he lived long enough to witness what this once mighty organization turned in, he'd most likely kill himself.
Andrii Svystun Well, he was killed by a traitor in Kane’s Wrath DLC.
i hate ea for that ea should go bankrupt FOR RUINING THE BEST GAME EVER
i also like to think of nod as an cult because they use sneaky attacks and guerrila style combat
Andrii Svystun EA is like Amazon. They both suck.
I'll be honest I'd play CNC 4 rather than Red Alert 3 because it is more of a "chick flick", a cheap tactic that EA used to sell it. The best thing about it is when Tim Curry played the Soviet Premier. CNC 3 can be fun although I agree with people when that say it was good but not that great. Don't get me wrong, CNC 4 was EA's attempt to monopolize the E-Sports and the plot line was weak. Joe Kucan stands out in CNC 4 despite the weak plot.
BROTHERHOOD.. WE. ARE. WHOLE. AGAIN!!
Hassan: Slavik has escaped. Solemon: Then cover up and kill him before the truth comes out. Hassan: We tried that already and know... Solemon: I have alter the deal, pray I don't alter any further Hassan.
XD
Hassan: This deal is getting worse all the time!
This deal is very fair and I am happy to be a part of it!
Here is a unicycle, you must ride it everywhere you go
@@Charlie94781 man fuck you i ain't riding no u unicycle
Is it me, or the Brotherhood of Nod is like the epitome of cult of personality in the universe of C&C?

That's the point
"The time has come to claim this world has our own! The time has come... TO DESTROY GDI!!!!!!" Kane to his people

Tiberium is the answer, Tiberium is the way, Tiberium is the future. I would fight in the name of Kane all the way.
***** Indeed brother, IN THE NAME OF KANE!
combinecommando001 Pahh, we all know Commander Anton Slavik was cooler then Kane. After all, he does all the work in 2nd war lol
One vision, one purpouse, brother.
ahuzel Sorry to be the grammar nazi here but it's purpose* once again sorry, but it really bothers me.
hahaha ok, One vision, one purpose.
One of my favorite missions is getting Slavic out of prison and using the forces provided. Using the Cyborg Commando was just amazing at the time, and it gave me one heck of a grin on my face.
GDI Sergeant: Sir, i don't think humans has made this Michael McNeil: PULL BACK, SOLDIER! Slavik: Locate that tacitus, soldier...or i bury your team in that hole! You see the difference here? As McNeil being reasonable and values every soldier, Slavik is ruthless and cold, and have no toleration of the failure. Pure evil or devotion to the cause? I don't know tbh
Slavik: Define favorable outcome, CABAL CABAL: They all die. Me: O_O ....I LIKE THIS AI!
grumpy cat is CABAL
Ikr that's some very favorable outcome
Slavik was so badass so sad he's dead killed outscreen in a single sentence in Kane's Wrath...
got LOve KABALS voice so dark and cyber awosme
I was scared of his voice when I was a kid. That's why I only completed the GDI side back then. :D But I am totally a Nod follower these days haha! Kane rules!
+recover 2:18 why u little lier :D
+123ocelot I know right! He's the reason I like playing Nod when I was a kid.
Someone should create a 4th alternative timeline game that continues after this. It will be interesting to discover the life on earth after the divination. What will the relationship between GDI and NOD be if humans survived and evolved as Kane expected? WIth that super Tiberium bomb, the Scrin is bounded to show up
I am still mad to this day that Westwood didn't give us a Mutant campaign.
There's so much more they could do with the series. The Tiberium universe is ripe with potential to be explored and it's a criminally underrated story.
@@ugiustuskeiserus8066 I say leave it the way it is. Too many stupid things can happen if the series is continued.
In principle based on the other events of the series, after the divination missile the Scrin should have showed up in a matter of months or a few short years if Kane himself didn't find a way to contact them himself. Assuming Kane somehow wasn't in the picture at that point, I don't think even GDI and NOD together could have stopped them with so little time to prepare. This ending is the "Earth gets farmed" ending.
@@Amp661 it's already completely ruined. 3 is hot garbage, and 4 is just embarrassing.

Just realized something funny... Jake Mc'Neill is wearing desert camo yet is disabling the defenses of the Hammerfest base in Norway
Holy fuck is that James Earl Jones?
Yes....yes it is. Michael Biehn is also in the game as a G.D.I. commander. Westwood had conections lol
Yep!
theyodaho yes it sucks EA killed Westwood games
Why don't they make RTS games as epic as these anymore.. God-dammit this game was FUCKING AMAZING!
What I also love about the Nod cutscenes is the black humour in them. :D
Cabal's voice is so epic in these cutscenes.
I wonder if Samuel Hayden's voice in Doom was inspired by it.
Anton Slavik is such a cool Protagonist-Villain. The way he and his crew act seem like he'd be the hero of a cool Star-Trek esque space show but he's also a ruthless and zealous dude.
Lmfao. Jake was so easily convinced. "I will not talk" my ass!
Control the media.... Control the mind
Kane really did predict 2020
Slavik: "Locate that tacitus soldier or I will bury your team in that hole" brutal.
With the remaster of Tiberian Dawn I really hope they remaster this game. Its fantastic
The real reason why Oxanna shot Maycheck was because he dared calling Darth Vader mentally unstable.
7m20 - 8m44 onwards, one of the best cinematics in gaming ,.... ever ! (if you're a NOD fan at least!) Having read no spoilers, this was a great suprise after the end of C&C 1.
When I was little, I couldn't play the campaign because of the scary as hell dead Nod guy at the start. I literally started freaking out and unplugged my computer. But, it still was one of my favorite C&C games... For skirmish.
+Lewis Veasey freakin out n unplugged ur pc? lol...
+mrStraker888 Yup, sure did! I freaked out like a little girl... It didn't stop me from playing it though.
wow Imagine that...
Lol
The Philadelphia blowing up, Kane's speech and than the earth turning green? Along with that soundtrack? This is the apocalypse in it's coolest Version!!! PEACE THROUGH POWER
You think of it Kane could be classified as an SCP
damn , another faction in the scp universe? it would boost cnc popularity so i see it as a win win LOL
When i close my eyes and hear James Earl Jones voice, i imagine that it is Lord Vader leads GDI
The time when effort and passion was put to games. Now we have tiberium twilight what is the opposite of that. Poor westwood if i ever become a billionaire i will revive the company.
In the name of Kane
What is truly amazing of tiberian twilight is that if i choose nod campaign Keane leaves me to die, if i choose GDI Kane thanks me. What the hell is this????? It's completely the other way around!!!
PEACE THROUGH POWER
I love that such a big actor is actually in this, I like him a lot. In the movies he has played he has made the movie great...
Damn I wish Siri sounded like Cabal...
BigBossIvan someone should make a cabal personal assistant
the ARE the good guys, they wanth to elevate mankind to the level of the gods
@Cantrips They weren't misguided at all. If you look at all that Kane did throughout the games he was truly about world peace. He just had his own way of bringing it about. The history after WW2 (Red Alert) changed drastically from ours because of Kane and his influence. The only negative was how both GDI and NOD didn't see how Tiberium would one day destroy the planet as it is revealed in C&C4. Even so, Kane managed to fix that at the end.
@Cantrips Yeah nod are the good guys. They want humanity to co-exist with tiberium and evolve into superior species that can resist tiberium poisoning and build ships to travel the stars etc.
@@asa6284 Kane knew that tiberium would destroy the world. In every game tiberium grows even more and covers more landmass then the previous game. They even say it in one of the cut scenes that tiberium will cover the earth in three years time.
Amazing they foreshadowed the Scrin this early into the story.
Oh the 90's.... look at how elaborate and well made the props is... back when cutscenes is believable in games... nowadays its just special effects.... not just fake props, but also less believable.... with better technology comes lesser amount of quality hard work
Lol. That is absolute bullshit xD
@@BeardedDanishViking You replied to a 4 year old post..what's bullshit again'?
The last true C&C game. Rest of the original planned storyline got fucked over with RA2.
Yes it is. If you completed the Soviet campagn you would have known that Kane and the Brotherhood of Nod are the new leaders of Russia and the taken over Europe, all thanks to you the commander. Since Red Alert was supposed to be C&C 0, it explains to why in Tiberian Dawn the GDI campaign plays out in Europe.
What? Red Alert 2 was the shit, I don't know what you're talking about. Just because EA had already acquired Westwood doesn't mean they had full control over the studio at the time. The studio was still allowed creative control as par with their contract to EA. Red Alert 2 is my favorite C&C game man. I remember as a kid I loved the first C&C Red Alert (I was one of the few who played it on the PS1, because we couldn't afford a computer), but when I first bought the second one, that game blew my fucking mind. I was only like fourteen, but regardless I still hold it as my favorite. Also, I prefer the Red Alert timeline over the Tiberium timeline. It is the same universe, yeah, but both games take place on different timelines. Tiberium Sun just made everything weird and cheesy in the Tiberium universe, like a B-list Direct-to-Video science fiction film.
Well, as far as I know they are still in the same multiverse. It is hinted at several times that Yuri was one of Kane's disciples, through which Kane sent him into the Red Alert timeline for some reason that I can't remember ATM. Yuri then used his powers to further his own end. As far as I know, he was pretty much like "fuck Kane. While serve in the Brotherhood when I can lead in the Soviet Union (and eventually the world)?" when he got to the Red Alert timeline.
Some Drunk Asshole That is an interesting theory which I never heard of. Well Kane already is in Red Alert, so he doesn't need to send anyone. Also in Red Alert: the Aftermath there is a mission where you control Yuri and need to rescue him. So both characters are already in the game.
Engel I completely agree with you... Red Alert 1 was far more better and superior than RA2 ... but of course only people who played classic C&Cs on their times know this... they really f.cked up the story with RA2... thanks to EA... I don't even want to talk about RA3, Tiberium Wars and dog shit they did last...
All power to NOD !!! Oww how I loved NOD
One vision, one purpose! The technology of peace!
Yes brother ! let us take this world, and give this world a true purpose, death to the unbelievers !! How can they think that tiberium is not a gift !! it is a gift from heaven it self !
5:12 "Controll the Media controll the mind." So true :(
Forgot James Earl Jones was in this, great cast.
Wish we could have seen a continuation of Westwood’s story from this game. I’d have liked to have seen what they had in store when Kane turned on his devoted yet gullible Nod sheep and whether GDI and Nod end up fighting Kane, possibly with or without the Scrin. Although they kinda did that with the ending of Firestorm, where Kane and Cabal are the secret team the whole time which explains they lack of dialogue between each other in TS. I’d like to think Kane has the Chronosphere from Red Alert and has been travelling through history with it, trying to set himself as a God, even though he’s some power hungry guy... possibly the biblical Cain who killed whoever went back to that era with the Chronosphere and stole it from them. I don’t think he’d be an alien. I think he may have tried to fuck with the Scrin who probably saw him as person of interest from afar and wanted his Chronosphere or something, or he stupidly contacted them and they just saw an opportunity to assimilate Earth as their own.
The Tiberium universe seriously needs a movie.
Miss Westwood. The good old days......
I love the subtle world building and yet right away, you know who NOD are and what they’re about. Oxana and the news anchor are really memorable for me.
they mentioned hammerfest, norway! how rare!
I think they shold make a movie of this
Lol, it basically already is seeing as how all the cutscenes are live-action.
I tell you. Kane is wonderfully charismatic and Joe only got better with it. The Kane's Wrath expansion for C&C3 really drove home his acting chops and talent. The fact he seems to have barely aged since 1995 just makes it all the more impressive.
Would be funny, if he really would be some kind of immortal demi-god, then it isn't acting on his part, just being natural lol.
Cabal's voice is too sexy for a machine.
Agreed
Kain Lives!!! one of the best rally cry's i have heared in any game.
Wow, these prisoner conditions are far from the quality of a Norwegian prison. Slavik should have sued.
15:55 the Nod soldier was a mutant who lost friends in the GDI attack then gave the Defense Initiative pilot a nonverbal expression of regret and vengeance
The faithful are rewarded. Peace through power. Joe, your awesome 😎
Wait, wait, wait... Did that dead Nod Infantry on the start dropped a phablet? Samsung Note?
+hereLiesThisTroper Westwood foresaw the future!
Toivo Kesseli Wait, did Westwood also foresaw that it would close?
Maybe they did. What if KANE actually represents Westwood, the world represents us players & Tiberium represents EA?
