PS3 version of C&C Red Alert 3 still on hold

Back in June, Electronic Arts announced that the PlayStation 3 version of Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 was being put on hold to move available resources to the development of the Xbox 360 and PC versions. According to EA Los Angeles producer Amer Ajami, the PS3 was tough to develop for, and at the time, the game engine they were developing on wasn't designed with PlayStation in mind.

So now, two months later, we decided to contact EA for an update on the current status of the PS3 version. What we got back was a short, simple, unsatisfying response.

"The PS3 version of Red Alert 3 is still on hold," said EA's rep. "We have no further news at this time."

With the PC version set to ship out October 27 and the Xbox 360 version scheduled for a November 11 release, we hope that developers will start freeing up so that EALA can bring us a PS3 version in early 2009. Stay tuned for more information.

     Sorry RTS Fans, personally i think you'd be better off sticking to playing these on PC, thats just my opinion though.

    Why not report something when there's something worthwhile to report. Like http://ryu-ga-gotoku.com/three/index.html opens with new screenshots, IGN and PROgamers have fantastic looking 720p screens.

    Don't care, the game doesn't look that interesting to me at all. 360/PC can keep it! PSN ID- Demented007

    MMDs is right, stick to a keyboard and mouse if you're playing an RTS, you can't micro on a pad

    Perfect would give them more time to implement mouse+keyboard. I agree with you others saying would be better on PC. I will be picking this up for PC

    Theres nothing wrong with playing an RTS like C&C on a console, especially as you can use a keyboard and mouse on the PS3, would like to see this out for the PS3 but if it doesnt then PC it is

     Why are people saying this isn't news?At least they've spoken to EA to see whats going on.Im getting it for my pc anyway as keyboard and mouse is much better for RTS games.
