Carnotaurus just brought to my attention something that popped up on http://cncden.com/index.php?subaction=showcomments&id=1202863966&archive=&start_from=&ucat=1&. It would appear that another teaser for Red Alert 3 has surfaced. Is it for real or just another fake? I think everyone should look at it themselves and decide. Also if you have anymore info on this then please share it.

great, now turn this back into TIBERIUMweb.
Three games in one development at the same time?
Blargh argh. This is sickening. f*cking EA, make C&C4. I can't beleive the horse sh*t EA has called Red Alert 3....
Do you hate or like EA?
Wow. I hope it'll be an O.K. game. CnC3 left some things to be desired, so I hope they will greatly improve before this comes out.
Oh, Kane was in the Red Alert series? It had to be the first game. I had no clue... Why wasn't there any Tiberium in it? Lets hope there is some in Red Alert 3 then.
EDIT: If there was Kane in it, why weren't GDI and Nod part of the series, seeing as they were both fighting for the world, not just countries like the Allies and Soviets were? They should be in CnC3.
Scorch I can only suggest you play RA1 and RA2 and all the other CnC games in order to grasp the story lines better. I would also search and find Bittah's and some others' theories/findings on in-depth thoughts on the story lines and how they might all be linked.
I doubt there will be tiberium in RA3 though if they found a way to link RA3 and RA2 to the other games that would kinda be cool.
BTW Banshee has shown more news about it. He has some screen shots over there and also a little bit about the story line and the factions.
The factions if you haven't heard yet are of course Allies and Soviets but no Yuri for obvious reasons. Instead the 3rd faction is...Japan! Which is a very logical faction side IMO.
Yeah, I played RA1 and 2 a long time ago, so I don't remember much, But I remember seeing someone that looked like Kane in RA1. His name was mentioned in the forums in one of the links so I was just wondering.
When you said I should play the other CnC games, well I have them all. Most I just haven't playes in a looooooong time. RA1 and Tib Dawn wont work because my comp is so new, and RA2 just won't work. Generals was great, and I have TibWars on the 360.
Well, it was believed Kane had some sort of time machine or dimension jumping thing.
At the end of RA1, Soviet, Kane killed Stalin and resumed control of the Empire with himself and Natalia, a woman working for Stalin. They both knew what would happen in 1995 (Tiberium landing) and was preparing for it. An Empire was a perfect way. Natalia said something like 'Because we both knew what the future holds.'
At that point, Kane shot her in the back and looked at the camera and said.
'Oh, I AM the future.'
The campaign ends at that part, but at the end of TS, in the Nod ending, he walks away from his missile as it launches, looked up and embraces an invisible force. This is believed to be a time machine set on a timer for that exact time, so he could go back in time and control the Empire.
Yeah, it's a little fuzzy, but that's all from memory. Correct any parts that are wrong.
You forgot the most important parts there.
EA said they're seperate universes, and both endings are not canon.
So Tiberium probably won't be in Red Alert, ever. Also, I like EA, but this sh*t debauchery of Red Alert is a joke. C&C3 fit well, but they had to go f*ck Red Alert up, eh? Morons.
Offtopicness:
Also, EA has like two RTS section, and a number of FPS sections too. There are more than likely even more than that...
arrgg not another attempt to remake red alert. No game will ever emulate its awomeness
Hmm, I would love to see a Red Alert 3, especially when Japan's the 3rd faction
It's been officially announced by EA. Let's hope they don't screw up with balancing TOO much, I mean enough at least that 1-2 patches can keep us happy, and have bug fixes as well.
No, it was Albert Einstein who had the time machine, he went back in time to kill Hitler. He managed, but Stalin had built up his military during the time he would have spent fighting Hitler, and used his massive build up to launch full scale invasion of Europe.
Btw, Japan's name is the Empire of the Rising Sun
hey Aro...did you hotlink to those pics from PPM? Or did you upload them directly to tibweb and add them to your post?
If you hotlinked them from PPM then im gonna have to tell you some bad news....Banshee doesn't want people to hotlink images from PPM as it uses up PPM's bandwidth. So if you did hot link those pics, could you remove them and upload them to tibweb?
If they aren't hotlinked, then everything is fine...I just wanted to make sure about that.
Anyways, I personally think a new Red Alert game could be good. I mean...they can't f*ck the storyline up too awfully IMO. It shall be interesting to see how this one comes out in the end.
No, Einstein built the time machine for Stalin because he was lied to. Stalin used it, but Einstein only buit it.
BTW: The Allied tank factory looks too much the GDI's one in CnC3.
RA1 isn't on PSP, dude.
There is nto a version made for it, but you can play it on the PSP
srsly guys... how in the name of ZEUS' BUTTHOLE, does this even deserve TIBERIUMwebs bandwidth?
cant you just take this to Project Perfect Alert 3?
its getting on my fricken nerves.
Yes, please keep in mind TiberiumWeb will not be covering this game.
Then simply don't read this. It's what I do.
I'm sorry, but I'm sure it was Stalin who had Einstein build the time machine. The Chronosphere wasn't finished until like the 8th mission. Again, I'm sorry if I'm wrong, I haven't played the game in many years. I tried to reinstall it a while ago, but my comp is so new it wont accept the disk. Something like 'you will need windows 9.5 or lower to install this game...' comes up. Is there a way around this?
Frank Klepacki comments on Red Alert 3:
Thanks, but I still want to play the game. I don't think it would be worth watching the cutscenes without playing the missions.
Btw, any info on the resource-gathering-mechanism? Will gems and ore return?
Scorch I played RA2 myself and I know that Einstein made it for himself (it as in time machine). I think your confused with RA2 Yuri's revenge where the soviets use the time machine which they captured to destroy Yuri.
Or where Yuri made Enstien build the Yuri superweapon thingy.
CommanderSpartan, there was a time machine and a chronosphere in RA1, too. I think they messed up the timeling cus they built another chronosphere in RA2. Don't ask me why, I don't remember that much, but I KNOW this.
I'm not confused with YR cus' that's the one game I haven't played.
Well still, Einstein didn't make the time machine for Stalin.
I'll stop at this point cus I haven't played it in so long I'm probably wrong, but Einstein did build the second one. But there was another in the first game, so...
BTW, Aro you uploaded one of the pictures twice..
But yeah, this should be talked about on ppm, not here.
As said before, the game could be linked to the Tiberium series. If anyone finds it isn't, this thread will probably be moved somewhere else or just deleted and forgotten.
there is no way in hell i would ever buy RA3. it looks WAY to "out there". besides, N. Korea would be a WAY better third faction. Jim Jong il in control of time. Thats frightening
raaaawr
Eh sorry this is a late post. Actually, EA would only have to do one thing to make me buy the game: Include the Hell March songs!!! Those were the only songs I listened to when I used to play Red Alert 2, and I vaguely remember it on Red Alert 1. I think the RA1 one was better.
Thanks Arsenal. That vid was all I needed.
And the Red Alert Franchise goes even more to hell....
This looks like an updated RA2 in the SAGE engine.
Yeah, no buy from me.
It's what everyone sais before they actually see gameplay. That's how I felt before I saw CnC3, but then I got it.
I don't even need to see gameplay, I already hate that RA2 look.
I thought RA2 was too far out there, even though it was fun, it was really messed up.
Just one thing before anyone makes any more of conclusions:
Japan would not be able to become a superpower without the course of World War II. US invested technology to Japan after WWII to maintain Japan's economy. Without WWII never happening, Japan would only be able to utilize sticks and stones against the Alliance and the Soviet Union.
If WWII never happened, Japan never would have surrendered and it's military never would have largely dismantled. What most people don't realize is that Japan would have most likely continued to fight even with the use of the atomic bombs. What Japan feared most was the Soviet Union, and it's massive military might that was built up during the war. The Japanese surrendered when faced with that threat, dubbed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_August_Storm.
The story released so far indicates that the Allies used the time machine to go back in time and defeat the Soviets before they invade Europe. If the Soviets never attacked Japan, and the Allies attacked the Soviets before finishing off Japan (which I think is what is going on here in RA3), then the Empire of the Rising Sun would have continued to build and conquer.
Thats just my theory.
Then it would really suck to be living in China, huh?
I was wondering if they were going to make that... Though in my honest opinion, the Apocalypse Tank looks worse in RA3 currently then it did in RA2... I loved the way it looked in RA2. And I'm hoping EA doesn't kill that universe as well.
Ocean gathering!? NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That just kiilled alot of my RA spirit T_T They should just stick to land resources, no water resources. The only water thing that deals with resources they should have is a oil platform tech building, like the land oil derreks form RA2... That should be the water resource source >_>
i figured RA3 would get messed up, this is more then i expected though. SAY NO TO FORCED NAVAL COMBAT.
planes, tanks and infantry are all i need. boats are only fun on island maps
Well, most everything is linked to some form of ocean combat. The Soviets have a series of vehicles that must be built on water, and then can move onto land. But still, I don't think I'm too interested in the game anymore.
At least it seems someone hasn't messed the infantry and the planes up yet. YET.
just wait, they will, next thing you know infantry will have a deploy anim that turns them into a flying aircraft carrier
Stop talking out of your ass. They didn't say all resource gathering was in the ocean. Some resources can be found in the sea.
For crying out loud, read the full story before posting stuff.
It means that there will be both land and sea resource gathering, not just sea resource gathering
Well, before you start flaming me like heck, I DID read the full thing. At that time anyway.
You and I clearly did not read the same article then.
Also, flaming? Ts'ch.
AArg. Whatever. The one I read was a long time ago. Maybe it's just been updated, maybe EA made some changes. I'm glad they did though, I hate the idea of water-gathering.
Red Alert: Einstein Kills Hitler, Soviets Take over world
Red Alert 2: Einstein Still killed Hitler. Soviets nolonger have control of world
Red Alert 3: Soviets kill Einstein. Hitler comes back... Wait, no. Soviets kill Einstein, Japanese come back.
...Wait... Are you a bot?
yep, that's a bot. Identical post found at http://www.draconian.com/dragon-forum/showthread.php?p=371365, where it is ALSO a spambot. A smart little mofo, that tries to post stuff relevant to the topic, but still, a spambot.
Somebody destroy it, plz.
GAH, I hate these bots that ask questions, cause then u take forever to explain them, but in the end you've accomplished NOTHING
It's the first time I'm seeing a bot that smart
I think the bot does have a point though, if Soviets killed Einstein, Hitler would be still alive
Some bot authors have also had some free time writing stories which their creations are posting in the General Discussion and Mod Announcements forums.. I've even read some of those for fun
The one about the frog or something?
Rampastein, that post is just randomly copied from some other forum. Bot writers don't waste time on that kind of stuff. In fact, I'm learning the basics of that kind of data linking at school, in the artificial intelligence class.
yeah, I mean posts like this one. It's just meant to fit in, while the spam link is put in the signature and/or the homepage setting of the profile.
slight bump, but I just finished it and saw something in the end, as well as it being confirmed via wiki.
End of Empire campaign, you can see the "glimmer of the chronosphere".
I sure hope the rejoin the RA and Tiberian timelines somehow...
Bumped a bump by a week!
@Jadems:RA and Tiberian series must survive. Tiberian is ending but I have hopes for RA series to survive!!!
