Title: Red Alert 3?
Post by: TopAce on April 14, 2004, 04:02:54 pm: Don't try to take this in to me!:

A third epsiode would really be an overkill in the field of single player.

Opinions, please. I believe there are a few Red Alert addicted spirits here.

A third one would definatly be overkill, Red Alert was never meant to even have a sequel.
Originally it was only meant only to appease the fans of C&C while they were waiting for Tiberian Sun.

those rumors are old, thus the Westwood studios thing...
if anyone would make it nowadays it would be EA seeing as they have the licences for the C&C genre...
and seeing that the rumors are as old as they are I don't think it will ever see the light of day

RA2 = Bull****
RA3 = Generals with Russians, probably. (Other words, more bull****)

It'd be nice to see, but I think too much would have to happen for this to become reality. Still, stranger things have happened :)

Post by: IceFire on April 14, 2004, 04:41:26 pm: I had fun with Red Alert 2....I'll have more fun with RA3 if its good too. But the original was a classic...maybe the best C&C game of the franchise. It had the spunk, the atmosphere, the units, the gameplay, the graphics, and the music to back it all up. C&C Generals I'd put second or third in this category tied with the original C&C. Red Alert 2 was great but I think it had less character...Tiberian Sun was fun...but fairly dull after you got going.

Problem is that they push the graphics a bit too far and then it never seems to run nicely. I still can't get Zero Hour to run nicely on my rig...it slows the heck down...although that may be an AI problem partially it IS quite a bit slower in terms of performance than the original Generals. And multiplayer still sucks :D

Storyline wise, C&C and Tiberian Sun was loads better than Red Alert.
Red Alert 2's storyline was just totally cheesy, the acting was horrible.

But I agree with you, Tiberian Twilight I would definatly wait for, just to see how the story would evolve :nod:
