RED ALERT 3 ?!?!?!?!?!

[TheRoadToDawn 0]

Thanks to Lion and HeXetic, CnCDen and PlanetCnC, respectivly.

 

Looks as though the guys have found a Hungarian Gaming Magazine with the front cover of a game some of us have been waiting for a while... Thats Right. RED ALERT 3

 

The picture of the front cover magazine (PC Guru) is uploaded. However Lion clearly states it there is a possibility that it could be fake.

 

Funny enough according to HeXetic, the magazine will be shipping on Feburary 14th. The same date that EA will be announcing their little surprise.

 

So what do you guys think?

If this is the case, the community need to butt the hell out of this game and let EA make it how they want to.

 

Forget Dolphins and mind controlled squids, forget the cheezy rubbish that RA2 built. If Red Alert 3 is to be a decent game EA need to tell the comunity to STFU and come out with the goods themselves.

I can agree with you on the Squids and the Dolphins, they need to go.

 

I want a more realistic/sci-fi RA3. Needs to have that Risk style play with maybe a sub-unit layout similar to Emperor Battle for Dune.

 

Soviets:

*Futuristic Telsa/Nuclear Technologies

*I want the Heavy Tank back!

*Mammoth Tank has got to stay. lol.

*Iron Curtain Tech

 

Allied:

*New Solar Tech

*New ChronoTech

*Holograph Tech (hmm that need to be debated)

*New Types of light, but cheap, units.

*I would also like to see the classical Spy Satellite lauching from the tech structure again. lol.

 

Yuri:

*Will his forces still be present?!?

 

Civies:

*Famous Monuements.

*Realistic Gold/Gem Foundations

*Old and New Tech Structures!

Well I liked the cheesy RA2... I'll go so far as to say it might be my fav C&C game... but yes I am thinking that RA3 will have more fans riled than C&C3 ever could.

 

It's going to be interesting where this story connects too...

[Saracen 16]

To be honest Red Alert 3 can keep the Iron Curtain, Chronosphere, and Tesla coil... regardless what EA may do to this we can see them staying... But anything else can go.... goodbye Tanya, attack dogs, hell I don't even care for Naval units....

 

But yeah I have to agree, it needs to be a realistic RTS.... I think the pace of the game needs to slow down too from what C&C 3 gave us... that was a little too fast in some respects.

I can agree with you on the slower pace for RA3.

 

But I must disagree with you on Tanya, Attack Dogs, and Naval units. Those are iconic when it comes to the Red Alert Universe. I would not be a true Red Alert game without the Dogs, the Ships, and Tanya. Hell my dad would throw a fit if they got rid of the Naval units.

[hagren 0]

Naval units are a must!

 

And yes, its real, the date is too. Its going to be a 10-page, world-exclusive preview on their experiences of playing RA3 in LA. I sent it to Lion and we agreed afterwards that its not fake

[TheRoadToDawn 0]

But I just cant help the previous Red Alert 3 annoucement.

 

It was Mark Staggs that annouced that Red Alert 3 would be developed but then it was assumed canceled when Tiberium Wars was annouced.

 

I just hope that this annoucement does not end up like the last. lol

Dont think so with a 10 paged preview.

 

Edit:

 

PC Gamers going to have a preview as well:

This cover image is so awesome.

Wow. Kinda like the GameInformer cover better. lol

Uh oh. Isn't navy combat - the one area that SAGE struggles with???

 

Dogs, Tanya, Navy... very iconic... very needed.

Sexy Communist on the cover by the way. Works for me anyway.

 

RA3 Beta spots up for grabs... whoah!

Who said anything about SAGE?

 

Let's hope nobody does, either.

But that cheese factor is what made Red Alert 2 so much fun to play and mod. The Tiberium saga has been so boring to mod. I feel stifled in that series but RA2 gives me a lot more freedom when it comes to modding. Then again, that's just me.

 

I hope this is true though. I want a new game to mod heavily and extensively.

[Duke 0]

That's very interesting. Interesting move from EA...

[Luk3us 63]

Oh course its going to be using Sage.

 

And Naval combat is out, its complete waste of time. Stick with land and air, sea just complicates matters unnecessarily, and scale issues always make battleships and such look stupid anyway.

EA usually brags when they get a new engine... They haven't bragged about a new RTS engine since SAGE.

[Mighty BOB! 5]

I demand naval! Actually I'm a lot more open to whatever they do with it than I was about C&C3 because, well, the RA story is already messed up; less to get flustered about. I figure as long as the Soviets still have Iron Curtains and Tesla technology, and the Allies still have Chrono technology I'm pretty happy (also naval, and the Soviets get a heavy industrial design. ).

 

--edit-- Oh right and I hope they don't try to bridge RA and Tiberium, although I don't think they'd try that anyways.

I was drooling over the 2 magazine covers again, and it's just concept art I know. But it today's cutting edge graphical computer world - it was interesting to see they chose to use cartoon graphics. Compare with Tiberium.

 

Would EALA go so far as to create a cel-shaded RTS???

I'm sure they wouldn't but it's an interesting spin.

[Inferno 22]

Yus! The SAGE engine would fit red alert so much better!

[Gben 20]

Well obviously I am wrong again on the cel-shaded units - but it would be kinda cool.

Well perhaps I should reserve judgement till that other mod is finished... the mario mod or whatever it's called.

TAKTICS. Just had to correct you. ;p
