Sonic 292 Posted December 10, 2008 I laugh at news and rumours like this, but I feel it should be posted simply because of the discussion it could generate. Speculation is beginning to surface that Yuri will get his revenge after all in a future expansion for Red Alert 3. Since the release of the Red Alert 3 1.05 patch some fans in this Chinese forum thread have been going through the files looking for hidden references, they have nothing better to do I guess. Anyway, this is what they found.... SCRIPT:Y01_FILE001=Who am I? SCRIPT:Y01_FILE002=Where am I? SCRIPT:Y01_FILE003=I can juggle them. SCRIPT:Y01_FILE_001=I've got escape. I can break down the door. SCRIPT:Y01_FILE_002=Their minds are weak; they can be lured. SCRIPT:Y01_FILE_003=I can protect myself with a psychic shield. SCRIPT:Y01_FILE_004=I can slam objects and vehicles with my mind So here we have something that possibly references a character with a name beginning with "Y", and mentioning all of the abilities that Yuri possessed. But it could also talking about Yuriko Omega. But then again why would there be references to a future expansion pack in 1.05? It just doesn't make any sense to me. Share this post Link to post
Tank 0 Posted December 10, 2008 oh please not Yuri, the one guy that caused Ra2 to be less fun for me Share this post Link to post
Duke 0 Posted December 10, 2008 Yeah i'm sorry but he was a bitch! The whole mind-control thing was a little bit *too* much for me tbh. Share this post Link to post
recover 2 Posted December 10, 2008 Too bad they haven't found any voice files Share this post Link to post
Saracen 16 Posted December 10, 2008 Too much is being read into this I think. Yuri was never capable of telekinesis or psychic dispersion or invulnerability. His abilities were purely through Remote psychic influence. Yuriko of course is capable of higher level powers like telekinesis and psychic dispersion. So like I said, too much is being read into it.

General Leang 0 Posted December 10, 2008 Is the stage being set for Yuriko to go all Rei Ayanami on us, use her psychic powers to wipe out the human race? Share this post Link to post
CCHyper 3 Posted December 10, 2008 Interesting, lets see what comes of this Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted December 10, 2008 I hate Yuri, please don't bring him back. But if EA must, can it be really quick, as in, he pops in says something, then gets squished by an anvil. Share this post Link to post
hagren 0 Posted December 10, 2008 Sounds like an introduction to Yuriko never finished. Share this post Link to post
Alphabear 11 Posted December 10, 2008 They may have just been leftover files from a point in production when Yuriko was going to have a role in the story Share this post Link to post
Nmenth 289 Posted December 10, 2008 The Allies should have just executed Yuri rather than spend who-knows-how-much on a psychic prison. Anyway, the rumor is shaky evidence at best, but 'Their minds are weak' does sound more like a Yuri quote than Yuriko. Yuri was never capable of ... psychic dispersion What do you consider his secondary ability to have been? As for my opinion on Yuri returning, I wouldn't mind a 10 second cameo that tells us something like 'tried escaping and was mauled by attack dogs'. Share this post Link to post
Hannibal 0 Posted December 10, 2008 I was a bit disappointed that Yuriko wasn't even given any kind of part in the story. I guess we're just supposed to go with "Japanese did some strange experiments and made a telekinetic school-girl." Anyway, Yuri coming back? I doubt it, but I wouldn't necessarily mind it as long as the story isn't completely destroyed in the process. Share this post Link to post
Overcow 0 Posted December 10, 2008 SCRIPT:Y01_FILE_004=I can slam objects and vehicles with my mind Yuri, no. Yuriko, yes. I wondered why she weren't in the story. So yeah, that probably gonna be an expansion and the BETA for us Premier buyers. Of course you guys already figured this out so yeah... Share this post Link to post
BioBen 3 Posted December 11, 2008 Different timeline, lol by the end of red alert 3 he could have died of lung cancer in theory lol Share this post Link to post
Nmenth 289 Posted December 11, 2008 was yuri not eaten by a t-rex? Only if the Soviets won, but the good guys always win in these games (except Kane's Wrath). Share this post Link to post

Mobbob311 0 Posted December 13, 2008 Woah man, I always thought Yuri was cool but hehe all of you don't like him at all! After all he was the first man in space, in real life... But I don't think Yuri's coming back some people here are getting a little mad- so don't worry. Personally my opinion, I want Yuri to come back but you know that's mine not yours.

Gben 20 Posted December 14, 2008 Yuri is definitely a polarising character... but is it the character or the unit mechanics? As I said in other tread - happy for him to come back. But these strings are obviously for the schoolgirl. Share this post Link to post
Sonic 292 Posted December 14, 2008 Yuri is definitely a polarising character... but is it the character or the unit mechanics? Yuri the character, played by Udo Kier was great, but I always though he was a strange unit, got even more strange for me once Yuri's Revenge came along. But that was a long time ago now. Anyway, I wish I never posted this in the news because it just so stupid. Yuri's gone and he ain't coming back. Share this post Link to post
