Four years later...details of EA' strategy title coming

The third installment of the Command & Conquer: Red Alert series was announced way back in 2004, but four years on and we’ve not heard a peep from Electronic Arts.

Today, Command & Conquer 3: Red Alert has been officially confirmed by the US version of PC Gamer who are set to “dish tons of exclusive dirt” on the title in the April issue of the mag, due for release on March 4th.

So, that confirms the PC version, but what about a console port? Well, Electronic Arts did a great job at porting the strategy game Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars to Xbox 360, so we’d hazard a guess that we’ll almost certainly see a console version follow the PC release.

Full details on Command & Conquer 3: Red Alert coming soon!

I love C&C but.. it just ain't Westwood is it? And why can't I bloody well zoom out enough (i'm spoilt post Supreme Commander perhaps). C&C was always about the atmosphere as much as the gameplay - i'm not sure they've captured the humour and ingenuity of the original games quite as well. Still as an action-RTS C&C3 was fun - let's hope they put a smile on our faces with RA3 :)

same. C&C3 felt very claustrophobic compared to the “see everything” of supcom

I dont think its gonna be much of a big impact imo, to me EA just like using the name of great games and for all the profit they can get. Like for example its just a name to them of which they can use that they know most people will try to see if its as good as the old classics which i serously doubt it will be seeing as its EA.

Even if its poop people are still gonna buy it and try just cause it says “Command and Conquer: Red Alert” and thats all their intrested in.

RA2 had Mark Skaggs as lead developer though, the same EA guy that was resposible for Generals. By that point EA had already killed Westwood. Incidentally, I'll start playing EA C&C when they start giving a toss about long term fans, which, given that apparently changing the name from Tiberium Wars to Tiberian Wars, let alone Twilight/Eclipse was too much to ask for probably won't happen any time to soon.

Agreed.
