Red Alert 3

[Grade A Kill]

how many units use lightning in red alert 3? Lightning is in every screenshot

 

[redmarine]

What do you mean with lightning? The Tesla Coil? Tesla Trooper? The super weather thingy?

 

[Gath_Stormer]

I think he means all the telsa tech stuff. Russia uses it a lot so I have no idea.

 

[Voidwalker]

In RA:
- Shock Trooper
- Tesla Coil
- Tesla Tank

In RA2:
- Tesla Trooper
- Tesla Coil
- Russian Double-barreled Tesla Tank
- Paris Tower (if you played the Sov campaign, you'll know what I'm talking about)

EA fucked up C&C, that's true.

And Grade to Kill, what can you know about realism in battle? Have you ever been in a tank?

I'm really looking forward to kicking the USA's ass. I hope we'll have to fight the EU too and rename it to "Communist Union of European Labourers"

 

[Night_Gob]

I have a bad feeling of that EA will totally screw up Red Alert.
I was very disappointed about the graphic it looked too cartoon'ish for red alert.
But I think Ill buy it anyways.

 

[Night_Gob]

That makes absolutly no sense, in war you have to strategize, and the strategies used in Real war are realistic because they dont build alota engineers, capture and sell the enemy base : )

Of course they have time, in WW II they probebly had a days to think about what they wanted to do. and its not just massing, what happened at the battle of El Alamain, mass tanks and charge? no, i saw the battle map and it was mostly based on movement, angle of attack n such. not mass, charge, win.

Umm the there was a lot of lack of strategy on both sides during WW2.
Read some Facts about operation market garden and you will understand what I mean. many airborne's died in vain due to a lack of communication and strategy during that operation. Another example is D-day.

 

[Zombie]

You shouldn't double post.

Personally I've always thought Red Alert 2 to be a bit cartoonish but it gives it a nice touch.
Anyways they've released Red Alert 3 trailer. It is pretty cool though I really don't like the GI models and the nuke in the end. As far as I see almost everything is as it should be.

 

[skrab]

thats not a nuke on the end
i think its some sort of gravity bomb
...all the units in the surrounding area were drawn in and destroyed
really nice weapon

 

[TheDivineBoss]

I like the Kirov ships and those new Allied planes already!

I see also that the flak boats got machineguns now. Maybe old unitsounds (or it's just a little prank) and uhm. Looks really awesome.

Then everything is cool! Beside the GI model.

I am loving those explosions SFX right now. Looks like it'll be a good game.

 

[brad.dude03]

I want it so badly.

Red Alert 3 is so communist it hurts, even the communist EA logo is awesome!

 

[Dr Super Good]

Red Alert 3's graphics look so kick ass. Also the most amazing thing is the tidal waves caused by planes falling in the water.

The building on water and land also reminds me of good old RTS games so I hope this one will be good.

 

[Gath_Stormer]

it will be good no question about it.

 

[emperor_d3st]

Two words:
ARMORED BEARS.
Oh, my, god. I didn't like the idea of gay dolphins humping my ships, but when I read armored bears are getting in to the game I laughed so hard but then I realized it wasn't an april's fool joke. I love the rest of the game though. It looks awesome and I think EA managed to create a very nice web site and promotional posters. I didn't like C&C3 that much but it looks like RA3 is going to bring back the glory for C&C.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Check the trailer @ youtube, at the 0.55th second, you see red armored (mech) bears.

 

[redmarine]

Are those bears? Eww...

 

[brad.dude03]

Dude Armoured bears for the fucking win!

 

[redmarine]

I've seen the trailer before in high quality but I never noticed those were bears.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

 

[redmarine]

I've seen that picture too but I forgot all about it.

 

[brad.dude03]

See, i'm telling you. Bear cavalry= pwn.

 

[redmarine]

Soviet or Alliance ?

 

[brad.dude03]

Soviet for sure! I'd take Soviet over Alliance in a nanosecond =D

 

[Mechanical Man]

Check the trailer @ youtube, at the 0.55th second, you see red armored (mech) bears.

Which trailer exactly?

 

[skrab]

Which trailer exactly?

this one http://www.ea.com/redalert/movie.jsp?id=1

 

[redmarine]

Soviet for sure! I'd take Soviet over Alliance in a nanosecond =D

Same here. I love the Soviets bad ass style. It is go nice. Thwe high teched Alliance don't have the same feel.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

If they just redo those bears then, the bright red doesn't look very nice. I prefer a little less.. bright.. Soviet POWAH- red.

I would like it to be more detailed. More details and make the it more lively. I don't like how the colors cower its whole body.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Woot just got a beta key for this. Cant wait.

SOVIETS FOREVER!

 

[brad.dude03]

U Haz beta key? D:

 

[redmarine]

You can just buy C&C3 and the expansion and you'll get the beta key.

 

[skrab]

T.T...>.>...<.<

 

[brad.dude03]

Huh. Well then, must.... buy... Tiberian Wars.... to the Games Depository!

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Some annoying salesman: Sorry, they are sold out D:

 

[RoughneckLeader]

I got it too! Gotta wait for Summer. It seems that the Allies still managed to keep some Chrono tech & stuff. I wonder when they kill him (Einstine) in this one? After RA2 or before even WW2?

Hmm...Look at the RA3 FAQ, the second question. THeres a grammer mistake...

Just gotta love the "RED OCTOBER" thing!

 

[redmarine]

Red Alert = Cold War
Red Alert 2 = Modern Times
Red Alert 3 = Future stuff...

 

[RoughneckLeader]

...And in this one, the Russians go back in time and kill einstin! :O Dunno if its after he invents Chrono tech or before (although there's art of a Chronosphere).

Lol then there will be no teleporter! Which actually makes sence... PANIC!

 

[punwisp]

i give every rts a chance, it always ends in dissapointment. But seriusly, if games were more realistic they would be better, now if you played a realistic game you'ld understand, but you never have i bet.

None of the games you listed were even realistic Einstein.

RTS stands for "Real time strategy" It has nothing to do with being realistic. Gameplay matters in RTS, supcom is a large spamming game(as I call it) Fun but very massy.

Realistic isn't what makes a game good, also for you other people, just because a new game thats continuing from 8+ years ago, doesnt mean only the graphics are better, thats Very much ignorance. C&C 3 though is a exception, half the game they focused on graphics, they were in it for the money, EA is wanting to make RA3 right, thats why we arn't seeing C&C 3 type of graphics.


Also for a reply to one of the first 10 posts, C&C was made in the early 90s idiot... No game even had 3D yet, only 2D.


Good game play=success
Focusing on graphics=Fails
Ignorant opinions=Fails
Ignorance=fails

 

[RoughneckLeader]

I second that, punwisp!

 

[punwisp]

Agreeing or disagreeing?

 

[redmarine]

Agreeing or disagreeing?

I agree with you. Gameplay is what keeps games like StarCraft alive. Blizzard has a habit of making good gameplays experience. ´

 

[RoughneckLeader]

By seconding it, I mean I agree. The conscript now throws flaming bottles at people! D:

 

[skrab]

Molotov cocktail!!!!!! FTW!!!

Don't mind Grade A Kill, he keeps complaining about video games not being realistic and having absolutly terrible arguments to back himself up.

Though I agree. Also, the first truly 3d RTS was Total Annihilation released in 1997. Supreme Commander is it's "spiritual successor"

 

[RoughneckLeader]

The bears (look at the trailer, they are those red things running around on attack in allies base) have too much team color. They look like red arrows and attack dogs running around...exept giant...

Agreed but I had to laugh at your signature!
