Sonic 296 Posted August 2, 2008 The eleventh round of Red Alert 3 questions and answers have been posted on the Official Red Alert 3 Site. As mentioned in the past, these are questions that are submitted by registered users on the Official C&C Forums. You can submit your own questions by posting them in this thread on the Official C&C Forums. Here is one from the latest round up..... When deciding upon a third side for Red Alert 3, what factions were suggested? And why in the end was Empire of the Rising Sun chosen? We went through a wide variety of candidates for the third faction, including everything from an all-oceanic faction based on the Red Alert 2 Giant Squid to a more traditional sub-faction system composed of armies from around the world, and everything in between. Ultimately, we decided on the Empire of the Rising Sun mostly because 1) creating a timeline wherein Japan rises to be a militaristic world power post-WWII fit within the fiction of Red Alert very nicely; and 2) of the team's devotion to Japanese pop culture, and the amount of reference that can be pulled from anime, manga, and videogames that we all watch and play.

Gben 20 Posted August 4, 2008 If I haven't said it before, I just wanted to say thanks for going to the trouble of pasting the info here - rather than forcing me to go to ea. Share this post Link to post
rEdaSbLood 1 Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) the all-oceanic faction sounds really cool as long as it wasnt some type of alien or creature race. maybe an atlantis-type race would have worked well. Edited August 5, 2008 by rEdaSbLood Share this post Link to post
