Krukov looks like the Battlecruiser pilot from Starcraft, whom, I believe, was also Russian.

dunetiger reads kotaku, seems pleased

@QualityJeverage:

No, you weren't the only one. But you beat me to it. They chose their words carefully, no doubt, and probably got a good laugh out of it.

Huh-huh...I said "beat" and "it".

P.S. EA's marketing has been on the upswing recently, I gotta say.

@Luke Plunkett: Is that man-love being expressed??!!! Your secret is safe with me Luke but I don't know about the other 5000 readers...

I was considering buying the premier edition for a whole minute while I was watching that video.

Very little in life compares with the shame I feel at this very moment.

TrickyNishidake

This trailer is like the sexual equivalent of Spore's DRM.

dowingba

I think it's even worse that they preceded it with "We won't leave you empty-handed." That's just creepy...But I'm the only one who saw it that way, aren't I?

I always do that...

QualityJeverage

@PatMan33: Autumn Reeser and Kelly Hu are both hotter than Gemma Atkinson. That's obviously just my opinion though. :)

henhowc

EA giving us what we want then taking it away? That has never happened before!!!

rayne117

Now that is just plain rude!

Idioteque

@eyeshield: It comes out on October 28th.

PatMan33

Jonathan Pryce is in this? So awesome.

Luke Plunkett

Be it B-list, I still love the fact that serious actors with voices and faces you're familiar with will play these roles. This leaves me torn as I hate how such things will ultimately drive up the cost of development. Hollywood isn't cheap.

okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under)

If you're pissed off you can go to a blue room and cry. For the most part, the women in this game are totally forgettable (Except Gemma Atkinson). The real reason to buy this game is to see people like Tim Curry and George Takei ham it up. And also to play some Red Alert.

PatMan33

That's a serious amount of male acting talent! It makes me wonder why they didn't hire any proper female actors and instead went for BBSI*

*boobage per square inch

silasthemariner

Nice...I did not know Autumn Reeser was in this. :D

henhowc

To be honest, as a casual consumer towards this game (Never played a C&C game before, never seen them in action, nothing), all I'm looking at is a sex-crazed game, not knowing at all what it's about. Sure, that's a damn good thing for my pants, but for my wallet, EA would never get my money.

I-Al2x-I

When is this actually coming out?

eyeshield

Those unbelievable bastards...

nickymouse

@Cloudbusting: Thank god someone else said it. I tend to find total and complete incompetence as a person to be a major turn off.

Lightman

Does anyone on the planet actually find Jenny McCarthy hot? Ew yuck.

Cloudbusting

Heheh, I wonder how much Ackerman regrest doing this now that he's a big star instead of a little known character actor. This is the guy that played Juno's dad and is the best character in Burn After Reading, recently nominated for a golden globe, and here he is in cheesy video game cinemas.

Sad, indeed, that guy is great with a good script.

jessenick

i hope they release only the cinematic to watch, the game is amazing i just dont have the time, but watching the cinematic's i would do.

Go Team Venture

@GodBen:
Because the other way around would just be creepy.

elevenoverzero

@QualityJeverage:
Yeah me too. I giggled. And then I was ashamed.

elevenoverzero

Give me Keri Wuhrer, damn it.

Atheist Jew

That was quite the sausage-fest at the end.

Quilt

notwithstanding my luminous machismo, i have to say that tim curry's presence is a greater source of glee for me than any of the knockers on offer, lovely as they are.

sqoon

That's odd, all the men in this game seem to be over 40 while all the women are clearly under 30. Why would that be?

GodBen

@okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under):

Well George Takei appears to be wearing his sword upside down for a lot of those shots,( I believe, my eyes aren't good enough to see properly in teeny-tiny video mode) so we know that they saved money with the person in charge of the props.

Weirdwolf

Those utter bastards.
My loins wish for more Gemma Atkinson.

*Goes 'net surfin'.*

CanaryWundaboy

Is it gay that I only recognise the male actors? Tim Curry and Peter Stormare are a day-one sale for me.

The chicks look awesome too. The girl who was arm-wrestling... :3

elevenoverzero

@Luke Plunkett: Jonathon Pryce makes me want to rub butter all over myself.

Kirbysuperstar

@I-Al2x-I:

For me, C&C isn't about the gameplay, it's the cheesy overacted FMV cutscenes. Does the gameplay compare to Starcraft or CoH? No. (IMO at least)

Harfold

Tim Curry Is my hero :).

Mr McWhertor you should be ashamed of yourself!

gessyca

Hah, nice, Randy Couture. AND Gina Carano. I hope they do battle at some point.

cymptom

@Cloudbusting: Whoa whoa whoa there buddy. She has to be at least one billion times hotter than, oh, Phyllis on the Offiice...

icegoat

hahaa now i might not buy the game..

ZetaCrossfire

@silasthemariner:

At least they're multicultural in their selection of BBSI. There's blond, brunette, and Chinese.

Personally I see more merit in the fact that there's at least seven times more GTOKS's* than any other game.

*George Takei in Ornate Kimono Suit

FireflyPunk

The least they could do is balance it out with some decent man candy. Oh, wait. Tim Curry. Rrrowl.

Rosetti

@jessenick: Takai and Curry aren't exactly unknowns either. I'm sure EA pays a lot and its probably really fun to do those non-serious roles where they can ham it up and have a good laugh. They all seem to be having a great time in the videos so I doubt they regret it.

Derangel

Wait, so Andrew Divoff is in this? As in Andrew "I play a character on LOST who gets killed thrice before I finally stay dead, which isn't much to say on that show." Divoff? Sweet!

ClownX

@QualityJeverage: I find it even worse that they forgot the apostrophe on "won't".

Hey, fun times, I didn't see who originally wrote that comment. Cool.

ClownX

Does anyone else smell the hint of irony with Tim Curry and the whole "time traveling" concept? Let's do the time warp, anybody?

Harfold

@silasthemariner: **BPSI

And is this ad a goddamn joke? Because it looks like a parody of the product they're trying to sell. Absolutely no class, if it really isn't a joke. This has to be a joke, right?

wheatshelf

This is the ultimate cockblock/buzzkill. It reminds me of a late night public access show I came across back in early high school:

Old (like 1930's - 1940's) black and white pseudo-porn (cause it didn't get raunchy till Hustler) of naked women running around and acting seductive for the time (it was plenty enough at the age of 14)... but then even 30 seconds or so the camera would cut to this little automated machine of a garden gnome bent over blowing bubbles out of his derriere!

Anyhow, I digress... but I admit, that was the first thing that came to my mind when I watched this video.

Lalalalalalala!

Idioteque

@PatMan33: Wow im on a roll on PC games im getting here!(I got Spore recently and im planin to get fallout 3, left4dead starcraft 2 and this, thank god for an ok job!)....usually i go at the arcade for an hour after school but more and more i spend more time on PC.....am I becoming a western gamer now? haha NAH...i still love you Initial D and the countless dollars i spend on it.......not to mention when i find a place in montreal that has SFIV cabinet....

Kuririn

The fact that they have a character named "Tatsu" makes me laugh because although it means "dragon", "chin chin ga tatsu" means erection.

PlayerOne

Either way they've had a fantastic marketing campaign for this game, I have no idea what the game is about but I want in on this shit.

happycodemonkey

@Harfold:
No, but The first couple Command & Conquer games were fantastic (back when Westwood Studios still existed and made games).

Least

George Takei is awesome.

Honestly, this game looks like it'll kick a lot of ass just with the actors, so if the gameplays half-decent I'll probably love it.

This is the one with J.K. Simmons right?

LastFace

Ta@PlayerOne: Tatsu is actualy a verb meaning 'to stand up'. Dragon is a nice idea though... My erection has been compared to a raging mythical beast on many an occasion ;)

Crudzilla

I kept telling myself...maybe the chicks will come back, maybe they'll come back after this japanese guy...maybe after these old guys...maybe...

...they never came back

:(

NeVeRMoRe666

The actors look awesome and as for the women.

Well I'll just keep looking at my Gemma Atkinson theme *hums*

flukielukie

Say what you will, but I'm all over J.K Simmons and Tim Curry. Ooooh yeah.

(but seriously, the really cheesy stuff with the girls that I've seen in the footage so far puts me off. I like the snippets with the guys more, especially when they inject humour into it)

Darien_Shields

@icegoat: lolz!

Cagny

Just by looking at the snippets, the quality of the acting could almost be compared to the non-sexual parts of porn movies. The actors know too well that the acting is not the centerpiece of their presence. It's almost like that DeNiro/Pacino movie, Righteous Kill. You don't need a good story or script; just put the actors in front of the camera and let the magic happen.

ChiChi_BBQ

Can't wait to see the piracy rate on this...

Kickers

The Red Alert series has always had that bit of B-quality in thier movie scenes. Frankly I think it wouldnt be a red alert without the cheesy cutscenes.

The women of Red Alert 3. Oh yes. Very nice.

Mercsenary

Buy premiere pack to see b00bs from Jenny Jenny McCarthy ?!No thanks,il' just type "Jenny McCarthy nude" in google and watch it uncensored :PP

romano.cule

@Cloudbusting:

She looks like a man to me ;o

Tracid

@Luke Plunkett: I was more thinking Peter Stormare =) Didn't know that up until now. Thinking of getting the game for his sake.

phiranaplant

Holy shit, they got Randy Couture!! .. guess Im a sucker for marketing, because this just became a "buy" title.

KEELr

Yay! Eye candy!

Pensador

Tim Curry, Jonathan Pryce and Peter Stormare. All they need is Brian Blessed as a Russian with a bad accent and I'll be placing an order for the deluxe edition.

TheCorporate

Wow... this article really summed up the video nicely...

neo177117

Nice to see that Ms. Hu isn't being typecast as Hot Asian Action Chick.
