Red Alert 3 for PS3, where art thou?

The answer -- nowhere to be seen. In a recent walkthrough trailer for the game, EA mentions that Red Alert 3 is coming to the PC and Xbox 360, yet fails to mention a PS3 version. This leaves us rather worried. We'd always assumed that the title would come to Sony's black behemoth, but when contacted for information, EA's Red Alert 3 Community Manager commented, “I can't speak of the PS3 version right now...”

While we try to clarify the situation, check out the aforementioned walkthrough below:

    Who cares? its an RTS it would suck trying to play it with a console controller, just get the pc version, its not like it has high system requirements.

    Good old EA screwing things up again, thought they liked multi platform makes them more money!

    I'm sure it will come. EA has never been one to lose out on money by not making a game multi platform.

    Thats what you expect from EA a network of lazy devs. Anyway Red Alert 3 would sĂșck on consoles pc should be a much prefered for RTS

    Apparently in this day and age, devs want everything handed to them in a silver platter. This didn't happen in the previous generation with the PS2.

    @dasteru you can play usb mouse and keyboard :)

    oh it's kinda sad because i was planning to this buy on ps3

  15. dasteru | kados

    • 9:10am BST - June 1st, 2008

    @RuiyJR keyboard and mouse use is a game feature not a system feature, the game has to be programmed to support it and not all games are. so far the only game i know of that supports it is UT3.

    psn id: gingo.... yet again EA show why they are one of the crappest companies when they are still struggling to make good ps3 versions even after so many games they have already made

    No, no, NOOO! They can´t do this! I love the first RA on PSone and was really looking forward to RA3. but it's not officially confirmed cancelled yet, so let's hope it's still coming to PS3.

    Weak. PS3 + keyboard and mouse control = win.

    RTS on a console?Too much hard work!

    I'll get it on my pc.Its the best place to play them.

    On May 30th EA's most recent RA blog entry on the official site did not mention the PS3 (btw...all this info was in the forums...Eric should give the forum users some credit here)

     

    Quote:

     

    EA posted this on their Red Alert site TODAY:

    Electronic Arts announced today that rising star and undefeated EliteXC MMA fighter Gina Carano will be starring as Natasha, a deadly Soviet commando, in Red Alert 3, one of the most anticipated strategy games of the year coming to the PC and Xbox 360 this holiday season. Carano will not only appear in person and in high-definition as Natasha as part of Red Alert 3's live-action movies, but will also be featured digitally as a playable unit in the game.


    So PS3 version is either CANNED or DELAYED based on that tidbit.

    this will not use the keyboard and mouse...they've developed a new control scheme where when you "click" on something a circle will pop up with multiple options (like units and so on and so forth) so things will only take 2 or 3 "clicks"

    I heard this WILL be on ps3....probably later than the other 2 versions though...also...this might be related to this game....wich is why sony and ea are so quiet.....playstationlifestyle.net/2008/05/31/exclusive-info-on-the-new-sony-ps3-controller/#more-227

    oh now this is just not f@@@ing on at all,yep ea again has to ruin everything since they have taken over they have not put c&c on a ps console,this is just further prove to break this company up,there too big and stifling competition and they even have the cheek to try to take control of the gta franchise.what happened to devolping for the ps3 first then porting to the 360.all lies,only interested in money which means they doing everything on the cheap,hey ea if u aint bothered about making games and only money move over for some real devs.

    I want to CONTINUE TO thank all the idiot kids who don't have the foresight to stop buying EA products.  Thank you for helping to ruin my $600 investment.  Thank You.  Thank you so f----n' much.

    I'd only get it for a console if it had keyboard/mouse support. Controllers suck for RTS's....

    • 9:24pm BST - June 1st, 2008

    @dasteru i know that but even UT3 supports M/K then RA3 should be same

    I love red alert. I liked the one on playstation one so I don't think it'll be bad on consoles.

    it must be a delay. EA only delays ps3 titles, it isn't like them to cancel them.

    this game will su@ck
