EA REWRITES HISTORY IN COMMAND & CONQUER: RED ALERT 3
Be Among the First to Return to Red Alert with the Exclusive Beta Invite in Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath or the Command & Conquer 3 Limited Collection
Redwood City, Calif., February 14, 2008 – After a seven-year hiatus, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced the return of Red Alert, one of the most beloved and best-selling real time strategy (RTS) series of all time. Command & Conquer™: Red Alert™ 3, for the PC, Xbox 360TM video game and entertainment system and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, takes players on an epic adventure to a breathtaking alternate future spawned by time travel run amok . Developed by EA Los Angeles, Red Alert 3 breaks new ground in the RTS genre, featuring a fully co-operative campaign while bringing back the series’ light-hearted style and classic, action-oriented gameplay.
“The Red Alert games are known for challenging hardcore strategy gamers with depth, variety, and innovative gameplay. But they also belong to that rare breed of games that can draw in more casual players with their over-the-top stories, instantly accessible mechanics, and straight-to-the-fun design,” said Mike Verdu, General Manager of EALA. “With Red Alert 3, our team is continuing that proud tradition by introducing genre-first features like co-operative campaign play, which rewards veterans and casual players alike. In Red Alert 3, friends and family can always have your back!”
“It’s been too long.” said Chris Corry, Executive Producer at EALA. “Fans have been waiting for a new Red Alert game for seven years, and we’re working hard to ensure its well worth the wait. The team is staying true to the series’ roots while adding new elements like a co-operatively played story-driven campaign, an astounding new faction that will shake-up the Red Alert universe as we know it, and units that will help make Red Alert 3 everything our fans have been waiting for. And by bringing naval combat into the heart of the game design, we’re transporting that fast, fun and fluid C&C gameplay to the high-seas in ways that you’ve never seen before.”
In Red Alert 3, the desperate leadership of a doomed Soviet Union travels back in time to change history and restore the glory of Mother Russia. The time travel mission goes awry, creating an alternate timeline where technology has followed an entirely different evolution, a new superpower has been thrust on to the world stage, and World War III is raging. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the East, making World War III a three-way struggle between the Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire with armies fielding wacky and wonderful weapons and technologies like Tesla coils, heavily armed War Blimps, teleportation, armored bears, intelligent dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks.
Red Alert 3 asks the question “What If?” What if every bizarre research project and technology experiment for the last 70 years had actually borne fruit? What if the Philadelphia Experiment, time travel theory, teleportation, invisibility, Tesla technology, and a hundred other intriguing research projects had all paid off and gone mainstream? What if the Soviet Union survived and thrived; what would it look like 10 years in the future? What if the Japanese Empire had never fallen and instead became the ultimate high-tech military superpower? The end result is an imaginative and playful vision of an alternate future filled with possibility.
Command & Conquer fans eager to experience Red Alert 3 before anyone else can get early access to the beta1 by picking up a copy of Command & Conquer™ 3: Kane’s Wrath or the Command & Conquer 3 Limited Collection later this year.

I'm loving what I hear of Hell March 3 in Battlecast, and that last picture of the soviet fortress is nothing short of spectacular.
I can't wait.
Absolutely kickass. I love the ingame art direction, and the promotional "Comic-esque" art direction. Absolutely fantastic, I love EA. _________________

Dunno, I can't tell untill I've heard it. Also, Frank Klepacki may be very good, and may have created most of the C&C music, but it may still be good music even if Frank Klepacki didn't created it... (I guess I will be burned as heretic now by loyal FK fans *runs for cover* ) QUICK_EDIT

If that's the new HM, then Frank Klepacki should get back ASAP Red Alert is a mix of electronic with rock/metal, but this is more a Dance version of HM xD QUICK_EDIT
Seems like it was just a quick jingle made for the announcement presentation, and it didn't sound very polished if you ask me. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

i got some interesting ideas looking at the fortress pic:
Imagine telse troopers charging opposite of ra2, the towers increase the troopers firepower, and every other vehicle in it's range, and a tesla tower can be used as a lighting rod for weather storm. Or rather, if anyone is familiar with the real tesla'a ideas, he thought he could light up the atlantic ocean by building ttwo giant tesla towers in New York and England, and they would somehow "light up" the sky in the ocean. Nevertheless, the big tesla tower looks like its creating a storm (soviets and allies 69 supers?). I still think the tesla mechs look living diving suits and they are going to be amphibious _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

...How the hell are they going to amphibious? They're wearing electricity-charging, gigantic, bulky uniforms. Tell me how they're going to go in the water without frying themselves, never mind how they'll get out. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT
Shoes. Haha, they don't encompass the entire suit. And water's a huge conductor, and the suit is damn heavy, how'd it float anyway? _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
ight up and don't be too picky, how can you honestly argue about realism when the entire game is based on a time machine? If you want a realistic game, join the army
well, hows does the tesla trooper stop the coil from hitting himself in the dry land? obviously you can't aim an electric bolt in mid air, the only way you could do it would be by aiming it at a metal object an hope it works like a lightning rod, never minding that you yourself are probably covered in metal. Not every metal is a good conducter of electricity, and a good paint job could cover the metal if need be. A logically way you could use the weapon would be to fire a small projectile that has an attached wire. The projectile attaches to the target and the electricity flows through the wire. There are a million and one "explanations" a person can come up with. You should just try not to be skeptical.
The suit is a mech so it's strength could move it in water, and haven't you ever seen an old fashioned diving suit? They are meant to be walking on the bottom rather than swiming. Propelers could come out of the back, he could switch to a different gun (spear harpoon). I thought they said every unit has two modes or something like that _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
