RA3 Confirmed
Well as you all know by now EA have confirmed that Red Alert 3 will be released, don’t know when, but it will be! The BattleCast PrimeTime video with some information from the Executive Producer follows with more info after the jump.
Quick ‘n Dirty roundup of all the info, taken from Rock, Paper, Shotgun.
- aping C&C3’s introduction of The Scrin, RA3 also has a new, third faction - the Empire of the Rising Sun (”UNLIKE ANYTHING YOU’VE EVER SEEN BEFORE!” - actual quote. Hmm), which will presumably continue the series’ proud tradition of affectionate racial stereotyping. The shtick is the Japanese Empire survived into the modern age - dare we dream of cyberpunk ninja, steam-powered samurai?
- It’s about World War III
- It sounds as though it may be a divergence from the pre-existing Red Alert plot into something new. But don’t quote me on that.
- Naval combat (conspicuously absent from C&C3) will be pretty meaty
- Tesla-tech returns
- The campaign is playable in co-op. This = ace.
- It appears to look pretty much exactly as you’d expect Red Alert in the Generals/C&C3 engine would look
- Intelligent dolphins!
- Armoured bears!
Don’t see why they needed to introduce the Japanese when Yuri could easily have returned, ah well! Information regarding a Beta will hopefully be forthcoming.
