lazygecko Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 The real announcement is supposedly this thursday, but of course they need to give magazines exclusives in good time which makes it easy to spoil the surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhsu Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Haha, I'm loving the art style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azul v2 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 My favorite series. I am a Red Alert nerd. I've played both games' campaigns a million times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majin GeoDooD Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 ;o Sweet. First a C&C FPS and now RA3, I'm liking it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-n-j-i-n Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Great news. It's a must buy for me (yes, even forgoing pirating for once). I'm a bit worried that the C&C universe is getting swamped again. There's the new C&C FPS game, C&C3 and now C&C RA3. I hope they don't run the franchise to the ground like they did before.

Raziellink Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 In Soviet Union, Red Alert 3 owns you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azul v2 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 There just seems to be a different quality about the Red Alert games than any of the other C&C games. I mean, tesla coils, dude. I hope they get rid of the prism technology on the allied side. It cheaply nullified use of tesla for the Soviets (in fact, it was better). Allied already has chronosphere. I also wish they made each country even more unique. Maybe different artwork for core buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygecko Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Screenshots: Not exactly mind-boggling visuals, but they are going for a decidedly comical style so you can't exactly stuff it full of speculars and HDR. The info I got was poorly translated from a Russian magazine, so I can't make any real sense out of the plot summary. What I can make sense of however, is that there will be a third faction and it's none other than the Empire of Japan. Live action FMVs will still be there.

Dhsu Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I was definitely expecting some HDR. Do you mean "comical" as in "humorous," or as in "like a comic book"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonium Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 This is awesome. I love the Red Alert series. I guess no more Yuri but a good thing considering he had many advantages in Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge. I was definitely expecting some HDR. Do you mean "comical" as in "humorous," or as in "like a comic book"? I would think it's the latter being Red Alert (Remember FMVs with Einstein?). I actually like the visuals. I played some of C&C3 and although it looked great there was too much to look at in my opinion. I think this "cartoony" style suits Red Alert.

lazygecko Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 So it has been revealed who is scoring the soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCXAKvScQM4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Nice. I read that he actually performed Hell March at Video Games Live recently, so maybe it was the RA3 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azul v2 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I've probably played the Red Alert series as much as Gecko, grew up on playing my cousins and friends over dialup in RA1, played the hell out of the ladder in RA2. And I played the RA3 beta with the new patch released a few days ago. I am very disappointed. It doesn't feel like a Red Alert game at all. It feels like that generic void of a EA RTS game, the feeling that Generals gave you initially. The artwork looks good in the concept art, and maybe its just because its still in beta, but all the infantry look like they are wearing football uniforms painted in their team's color. All the tanks look the same - a black base and a majority of the tank painted in your teams color. You can stand 5 feet away from your computer monitor and look at your base and it will all look like blobs of paint depending on which color you choose. In RA2, at least there were other colors on the buildings and your team color only accented everything, it wasn't the dominant color on every building and unit like it is in RA3. The gameplay isn't horrible (except the new ore collecting system, which is totally wrong and isn't what Red Alert is about at all) but I am still very disappointed with this game. I feel like if this was the finished product the franchise is all but dead. The good news is that its still beta, but the bad news is that it was supposed to release in two months meaning that this is probably what it will look like, which is sad.
