The Red Alert has been released!

Banshee

The crew from CnCLabs have released the very first public version of The Red Alert. It's a total conversion for Red Alert 3 that brings the universe of the first Red Alert to the game. So, the idea is to play the original game in 3D. Here's two videos: one teaser and one gameplay:

Teaser:

Gameplay:

In order to promote the mod, they've got also an interview at PlanetCnC. By the way: thanks for resurrecting Planet CnC. We need these good community sites back to full activity.

Red Alert 3 is one of those C&Cs I didn't want to see a remake mod of RA1 for. Red Alert 1 world doesn't fit the game without heavy modifications and this mod confirms it.

Also the art direction is meh. I have yet to see how's the gameplay though.

I like it. They should get new sounds effects for it, though. Also, the cruiser rocks way too much when firing its cannons. #Tongue

I like this. Art style works surprisingly well, although toning down the bloom would always help..

Eh, I'm tired of seeing the same things over and over again. Where's all the originality and creativity?

Make RA4, not RA1. And do something creative and open with it.

Agree with the aforementioned post. It's neat, but unoriginal, we've seen this how many times now? Maybe with a campaign but just the skirmish is a tad dull.

Dude... That is awesome.

Holy shit, un-original or not, that looks amazing.

FurryQueen · General **Also Known As**: Fen **Joined**: 24 Jul 2010

The mod plays like an RTS, but it looks like shit. I hate the models. They're not even Red Alert anymore. It kinda sorta vaguely resembles Red Alert, but that's about all it does. Fewer remakes, more creativity.

i haven't try the mod but seem from VDO i don't know why people dont like it, just because it look cartoony? even so i think it look awesome, all unit animation look really joyful and very well made. and it's the mod that made by fan not official game after all,it really rare to see the mod that release with full complete status like this.

i really like cruiser it look really cute. :3

For all those who complain about remakes, how many of them have actually been completed? I think I can count them with less than 5 digits.

Not sure how completion rates are actually relevant. The number of them even being started shows a lack of creativity alone.

It is relevant. If people start but never finish a remake, why should that prevent from others trying? That's just stupid. Until we have like, 3 complete remakes of Red Alert 1 for the same engine, I'm fine with this.

ztype the creativity crew, +1 to the actually-starting-and-finishing-something-crew.

For the (apparently) tiny minority of the consumer end of the modding community that actually likes something playable, rather than an endless stream of 'media', promises, extended silence, before the usual excuses and inevitable collapse... this is a minor triumph.

It reminds me of the C&C3 mod "Tiberian Dawn", they started before this one but they've never released anything...

Well it's a first release although I haven't seen many of those bugs myself. Just chill out and report the bugs in the proper place.

Anderwin · General **Joined**: 16 May 2005

I will report to the guy :p. He know who I am so xD

Edit: But I can't yet I need to test more.

Shitty looking or not, unoriginal or not, its a good amount of effort so I applaud them on that.

hotrods20 · Commander **Joined**: 27 Jul 2009

As soon as my RA3 is reinstalled I am going to play. That is just epic with a side of fries.

Allen · Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 9:57 pm Post subject:

I like what I see. I say keep the old RA1 sounds too. The only thing that looks odd from what watched it the way tanks blow up is vary odd.

I think it would be better if the Turret blew off like they do with a T-72.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments. Glad most of you like it. For those who prefer something more original, you may like our previous mod, C&C 3: The Forgotten (http://theforgotten.cnclabs.com) which adds a new faction--one based in C&C lore, though--and a full new campaign.

Ahhh The Forgotten, now that's one of my favourite mods out. Truly a work of art. I did muck around a bit on this one though, and I can t ignore the old RA charm =P
