RED ALERT 3!!!!!1!!one
Red Alert is my favourite strategy game of all time. In fact, it’s up there with Final Fantasy VIII as probably my favourite game full stop. The sequel at the turn of the century was good fun too - now it seems that there’s a third Red Alert game in development for the same platforms as C&C3 (PC, PS3, 360). Given the hour I can’t post anything substantial, but here’s some highlights culled from the EA press release:
- Follows the three-side structure seen in the C&C games since Yuri’s Revenge. The sides are the Allies, Soviets, and Japan.
- Beta test entry (no word whether it’s automatic ala Crackdown/Halo3 or a lottery) for people who buy C&C3 Kane’s Wrath or the double pack for the PC
- Naval combat - always a staple of the RA games and ommitted in C&C - is included
- The more sci-fi developments of RA2 - dolphins, attack blimps etc. - return. Also: ARMORED BEARS.
- Did I mention? ARMORED BEARS!
