by now, they should have gotten the engine to run higher quality models,(it should at least be that way in bfme), so i believe that the quality of the models will be much better in this game than it was in generals(the infantry in generals sucked).

agreed

I agree too.
If they want to make good game they MUST CHENGE THE INFANTRY.
and now after bfme I m more convienced it is going to happen. they learned to make normal looking infantry with sage utlist.

the graphics from BFME should be upgraded for RA3 as well... The engine will be modified for ra3... how much and exactly what will be changed won't be revieled until later, but I'm sure the models will be much better.

i think so too

I wonder if it will even be a RTS

If they want to make huge money, they will take the Red Alert enviroment, the Sage engine and cook up something really interesting.

Like mixing-in a continus enviroment change. That would make it a bit like a MMRPG. Thay could call it a MMRTS.
Lets say there is a world map. Each commander takes a plot of land and has to fight over it. Then fight for the next plot of land and so on - MMRTS. Making allies and enemys as you go.
If it was a MMRTS, EA could charge a monthly fee. Long term profit and more money to EA. Just the sort of thing they would do.

[Banshee]

Skaggs confirmed that it is called Red Alert 3 and that EA calls it RA3. So, it has all conditions to be an RTS game, D.

[the_kid]

an mmrts would really suck, world domination tour was cool and all, but as a full game it would not be worth the money.

I have a feeling that (if and when RA3 comes out) the storyline may include the discovery (and landing) of tiberium on our planet for the first time.

This maybe just a wild thought but the RA2 era is starting to get closer and closer to the TD era, so RA3 maybe set just before TD. Thus Tiberium maybe in it, and maybe even Kane

But that's just my thought...

P.S Would someone tell me what C&C Generals was like? i've never played it and by the sounds of it probably will never want too.

[that?]

I dont like to spread enywhere "i know how ra3 will be" but i am surely know few info about it. not gonna tell about it just so.

[the_kid]

... you spoil our fun that?.... as for kane in ra3... I don't think its likely he was in ra but not ra2.

[Destroyer]

That's what he said. It was hard to understand, but the_kid did say he was in RA1.

[the_kid]

yeah, I use a lot of ...'s and not enough ,'s ... I'm hard to understand at times.

Back to RA3:

I don't see any originality left in the RA Universe. Its just going to be soviet vs USA, with paradrops and a navy. And of coarse come infantry and vehicles that are side specific... but I don't really see a good storyline out of it. We'll have to see if they have any true Geniuses writing the story, or it may just be shit.

[Major_Gilbear]

Um, and what point are you trying to make? That EA will mess up the CnC storyline? They've already done that; tell us all something we don't know.

[ComradeJ]

Note that TD goes from the Soviet victory in RA and RA2 from the Allied victory - Red Alert 3 could play in 2030 without looking anything like Tiberian Sun (which plays in 2030 as well, but different timeline).

I read somewhere on C&CDen that RA3 was going to be for the Nintendo DS, although I don't believe a word of that.

[ComradeJ]

Im sorry but I think you are incorrect. Every C&C game starts off where in the one before it the good guys win.
When you see Kane taking over the Soviet empire thats like the end when Kane rules the world as he planned to. And thats a defferent (and boring) story that is usless to continue. He wouldn't have to make the brotherhood of NOD if he has the Soviet empire. They won the war and Communism took over the world.

After you won with the Aliies and then you play the Soviets, you see Kane as the right-hand of Stalin so you know he was there when you beat them. He escaped,
Then went underground.



P.S.

*HEY! Joseph Kucane Directed RA2 movies (Like all C&C games before) but didn't play himself as Kane. (And thats while working with EA). Maybe there's hope for him yet.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well I'm terribly sorry, but that's how it is. Confirmed by Westwood, TD is from Soviet Victory, RA2 is (obviously) from the Allied victory.
