The Ultimate PS3 Red Alert 3 Trailer
Since the PlayStation 3 version of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is the “Ultimate Edition”, that makes this video the Ultimate Red Alert 3 launch trailer. Let’s watch.
Red Alert 3 Patch Adds Map Builder, In-Game DRM Deauthorization
Never thought “in-game DRM deauthorization” would be touted as a huge feature in a patch, but it’s one of two options PC users now can take advantage of in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 Demo Hits Xbox Live
If you’re looking for something to liven up the demo section of your Xbox 360 this weekend, the newly released Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 demo may fit the time-killing bill. The free demo for the real-time strategy game from Electronic Arts is now on Xbox Live Marketplace. Included is the game’s cinematic opening, one campaign mission each from the Soviet and Allied campaigns, and an interactive tutorial. It’s available worldwide, for that realistic global conflict feeling. Warning: The Red Alert 3 demo may not actually feature full motion video of Gina Carano in leather short shorts as indicated by this post’s lead in picture.
EA’s Awesome Fix For Missing Red Alert 3 CD Key Characters
According to the Command & Conquer customer support team, a “small number of [Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3]manuals” suffered from an unfortunate misprint. Some owners of the Windows PC version are finding themselves with a CD key just 19 characters in length, exactly one shy of the required 20 characters required to activate the game. Oops!
The Hoff Shills for C&C
Have we posted about this? Seriously? No? Wow. Just wow. David Hasselhoff stars in four smarmy infomercials for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, and the self-deprecation and irony are set to 11. So is the Hoff’s BAC. Listen that guy is slurring his speech, I don’t care what anyone says, the man’s lit. I would be too. Seriously, does he have a brain injury I don’t know about, and now I’m an asshole for picking on him? Wild.
New Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 Trailer
The Command & Conquer series has always been a great strategy game, but it’s the live action sequences that add the icing to the cake. Today we got a pretty slick trailer hinting at some of the story elements found in the cinematics. Most of the gang is here including McHale’s Navy star Tim Curry and the always enjoyable, but seemingly drunk, Peter Stormare. You can pick up the game for PC on October 27th and November 11th for the Xbox 360.
‘The Women of Red Alert 3′ Ends Badly
Sure, this pandering Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 trailer starts beautifully, with cheesecake shots of cut scene actresses Jenny McCarthy, Gemma Atkinson, Gina Carano and Kelly Hu whose only purpose is to get boys all hot and bothered. But then it becomes lousy with Y chromosome, wrinkly dudes and more established actors. Men. Yuck. At least EA will get a couple more “Premier Edition” sales out of it.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 Calls Out Starcraft
You know, I’m not gonna try to guess the viral marketing policies or in-house/contractor authorizations of Electronic Arts to determine if this really does constitute EA taking potshots at Blizzard. But that is undeniably the actors J.K. Simmons (President Ackerman) and Jonathan Pryce (Field Marshall Bingham, on the jump) and they’re calling out other RTSes, specifically ones set in space, so, sounds to me like Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is talking shit to StarCraft players, perhaps Star Trek: Online.
These are part of a series of videos (one above, two more on the jump that have been posted as replies to other videos on YouTube, in some cases unrelated, so there’s your viral aspect. The uploaders, RedWhiteBlueAlert and ThrowingStarz both joined in the past week, so, likely viral. And remember that Battlefield: Bad Company, also an EA title, took a few swings at its competition too.
Red Alert 3 Talent Remix Dance Party!
The most glorious thing you will ever see in your life is George Takai of Star Trek fame saying “All your base are belong to us” in this talent remix trailer for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, and then it gets even better, cowboy style. This is the best game trailer I have ever seen in my entire life. You watch, I go wipe away tears.
