Why Robin Makes Batman Better So Jenny McCarthy says she already has a little warrior in her. Dammit! There goes my pickup line. In this video up on Gametrailers, the actress and former Playmate explains her approach to playing Tanya in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, and we get a peek at some cutscene footage.
Red Alert 3: Exclusive Tanya Trailer [Gametrailers]
The announcement of Jenny McCarthy as Tanya in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 may have drawn a “uergh” or two from fans of the series. “She’s no fucking Kari Wührer”, some said, which… well, we’re not sure if that’s a compliment or an insult. But the guys at EA sure like Jenny.
Chris Corey, executive producer for Red Alert 3, says that McCarthy is a “badarse” Tanya, that’s she’s more than capable to tackle the role of the special ops commando. After co-piloting a two-player coop demo of the PC version of the real-time strategy game, Corey tried to allay fan fears that the former Playboy Playmate wasn’t ready to fill the tank top. Corey sounded pretty enthused to have her on board.
Hey, if they’re happy, I’m happy.
As we previously posted, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 features the casting likes of Jenny McCarthy, JK Simmons, George Takei, Tim Curry, Peter Stormare, Kelly Hu, Gina Carano and Gemma Atkinson. Check the cinematic style trailer above.
Thanks, Jelmer for the tip!
Cinematic Trailer [EA]
EA announced at its Leipzig Games Convention press conference today additional details on the cast of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, including the casting of Jenny McCarthy, pictured, as Tanya, the staple special ops unit. But that’s not all. The leaders of the three factions — Allies, Empire of the Rising Sun and the Soviet Union — will be played by JK Simmons, George Takei and Tim Curry, respectively. In the trailer we were shown, Takei’s lines appear to be dubbed with his own voice, dialogue intentionally out of synch with his lip movements.
Also announced was the appearance of Kelly Hu, who will join Gina Carano and Gemma Atkinson as the Empire of the Rising Sun’s obligatory sexpot. EA’s definitely going straight for the groin with this one.
Finally, in the cinematic trailer shown at Leipyzig, it appears that Peter Stormare will play a part in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. Oh snap!
EA certainly knew what they were doing when they cast English actress, television personality and glamor and lingerie model Emma Atkinson as Lt. Eva McKenna in the upcoming Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, just as surely as they knew what they were doing when they crafted the new Gemma Atkinson C&C: RA3 desktop theme, now available for 150 Microsoft points on a 360 near you. I went ahead and made the ultimate sacrifice, replacing my free Dr. Pepper theme with Miss Gemma in various states of composure and clothedness. Nothing to racy, just good, wholesome fun. Going to keep telling myself that.
Set up outside the Spore and Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 viewing rooms at Electronic Art’s pre-E3 event last week was a little red bar complete with Russian beers, lots of vodka and this drink list. Unfortunately, the list didn’t include the ingredients for the all-crimson drinks.
We’ve been hearing rumblings about this for a couple of days now, but now Eurogamer has received official word from EA that production on the PlayStation 3 version of Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 has come to a halt. While EA could confirm that the development of the PS3 version had ceased, they could not reveal the reason for the stoppage, nor discuss whether or not this was a temporary decision. Very, very curious indeed.
The move isn’t without its benefits, however, as PC and Xbox 360 development is being bolstered by newly freed resources. You can look forward to seeing C&C Red Alert 3 on those platforms this Autumn. We’ll keep you in the loop should further developments unfold for the PS3 version.
