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.
