Damn, too bad George Takei's married now... that's enough to go gay over. I'll just pretend Tim Curry's in the game boat.

I've been playing the beta for a bit, and it's pretty fun, but I'm really itching for the single player campaign, now.
That trailer was masterful.
Jenny's shirt isn't nearly tight enough nor uplifting enough. Additionally, I was really hoping Kelly Hu would be Yuriko Omega and not the Japanese Comm Officer. *sigh*
Scratch that. You know who would be the best fucking Yuriko ever? DO YOU? YOU DON'T! I'll tell you. Chiaki Kuriyama. Holy shit.

@djbrandon: With the exception of Jenny McCarthy, I agree completely.
@Chadders: Yeah. She's on my list of "women that, as a guy, I'm apparently supposed to find super hot, but who look like cheap skanks". Not far below Megan Fox.

Awesome!!! I would be pissed if they took the cutscenes seriously. It is sad that every video game has these lame CGI, no-fun, boring cutscenes these days. I'll never forget when that dude gets shot out of nowhere in the original C&C. (Or was it Red Alert?)

Really the only person (in my mind) who'd be able to replace Gen. Carville is JK Simmons.

Hehe, I really like these small movies between missions. I liked them in c&c3 and I'll like them in red alert 3. I don't know why though, the atrocious awesome acting, the fact that it might 'immerse' me a bit more or maybe because they are just fun to watch :p.

@rezlow: 'getting silly' ? Did you never play any previous Red Alert? (or cnc for that matter) They've always been like this - and this doesn't make the good wargame, the gameplay does which is so far fantastic.
These videos are a nice extra on top, not meant to steal the show from the game itself.

@seafisch: Well, it's not like I don't find her attractive. But as Tanya? Total miscast.
Red Alert 2 is the game that turned the actual plotline to rubbish anyway, with the Romanovs coming back to power and taking over Mexico, so RA3 is probably not going to do anything to remedy that. It would be too much to expect.
