Red Alert 3 back on for PS3
Posted 2 months ago by Voyou San

Well i was very disappointed when they put this game on hold but I am glad now to hear that the game is back in production.  Yes we PS3 owners will get another game past the fact, but if they give us added content and extra goodies, i can wait, just as i did with Eternal Sonata.


What do you guys think could be the added content?  I figure of course trophy support will be in the game which it probably wouldnt have been if it had not been delayed.

The previously "on hold" PS3 version of RTS Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is back on, with EA promising to do "some really cool things" that make the most of the 1080p resolution and extra space Blu-Ray and PS3 provides.

Red Alert 3, the first Red Alert game in seven years, is out now for PC with a 360 version due on November 14. Although the game was originally announced for PS3 as well, EA confirmed that version was "on hold" back in June, with EA Los Angeles producer Amer Ajami later telling us that Sony's console is "very exotic and tough to develop for".

However, producer and C&C TV presenter David Silverman confirmed to VideoGamer.com that development on the PS3 version of Red Alert 3 is back on and there's "definitely people working" on it.

He said: "When we announced Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 we announced there was a PS3 version, then we decided to go on the record and say that we've suspended it to make sure that RA3 was able to come out to the level of quality that it must adhere to to be called a C&C game. We've hit that mark, we've shipped the game. And you know what that means? That means there's another version left to be had. So there's definitely people working on a PS3 version and we'll be talking more about that later."

While Silverman wouldn't commit to a release date, he did say that PS3 owners will be "very pleased" if they bide their time.

"If you're a PS3 owner and you don't own a PC and you don't have an Xbox 360 you don't have to write on your Christmas or Hanukkah list that you want to have an Xbox," he said. "You can play Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, bide your time and you'll be very pleased. We're looking at doing some really cool things with the PS3 version. Since it is shipping later we're putting in a lot of cool content and really taking advantage of both the 1080p nature and the high-defness of Blu-Ray and also the fact that it can hold just so much more space."

Unfortunately Silverman wouldn't go into any more detail, saying: "I already gave you too much."

I dont think that RA3 would be good for the Wii. I dont even see how they would make it work. I also think that they should remake RA2 for the PS3 that would be sick.

well if the company decides to then the PS3 could do it. With Unreal Tournament on the PS3 it allowed you to plug up a keyboard and mouse to play.

But on the wii version, i barely liking moving that stupid controller around and now you want me to do it for an RTS map??? We know how long those things take, so i would have to say no thanks.

Pointer controls. As close as you can get to K&M. But if the PS3 can support those, all the more power to it then. I just didn't know that.

i dont see how these series would make any sense on the wii.. atleast with the PS3 you could incorporate mouse and keyboard support.

It's cool that they're bringing these to consoles, but why no RTS love for the Wii? Makes sense to me. Heck, I'll settle for RA2! At least Kari Wuhrer is in that one.

Anyway, cool stuff. Red Alert is one of my top series of all time. It should be out on every platform, IMO.
