EA cancels Red Alert 3 for PS3

According to our source at Gamestop, EA has removed the PlayStation 3 version of Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 from their upcoming release list.

Earlier this week, we reported that the PS3 version of the title may be in trouble, with EA's Red Alert 3 Community Manager stating, "I can't speak of the PS3 version right now."

Bad news day for Sony all around, wow. This is looking bleaker and bleaker. I was hoping to have this game on ps3, they needed this to fill a void in this genre.

chaosatom3335821d ago (Edited 5821d ago )

The mistake here let me guess-

1)Red alert canceled. No. It's delayed. He said this “I can't speak of the PS3 version right now." This article is misleading. Why would EA lose out on the profit?

2)delaying eight days and getaway, not cancelling - they needed those people for making other awesome ps3 games.

3)Qore being 3 dollars- it's a good thing, not bad that sony is trying to offer betas for some price, so it's not a MESS like MGO beta or other betas.

There still is Bioshock, Resistance 2, Fallout 3, Little Big Planet, Socom, Motorstorm, MGS4, in-game xmb, that we are counting on.

The games are still coming, but delayed as in coming later on, so that you're not broke.

Drekken5821d ago

I am beginning to seriously doubt you own a ps3.

And if you do sorry, you are like a 3yr old spoiled brat.

fredy5821d ago (Edited 5821d ago )

you see how that works....look at your post..haha

all it is is "the Obvious" being stated.

don't cry buddy..papa sony will be ok

GiantEnemyCrab5821d ago

LOL@Fredy so true! Nice ownage.

Anyway, I wonder if the PS3 will ever see an RTS? The 360 has been really getting a nice diverse line-up this gen. Anyone who says it's just an FPS console are not paying attention.

Premonition5821d ago

@ GiantEnemyCrabs: PS3 will see a RTS, should be out at the end of this year its called Tom Clancy's: End War

Baka-akaB5821d ago

Why is it sucha bad day ? A game we know next to nothing about , except that it was pretty got delayed , and possibly terminated . The getaway never appealed to me , but i guess it could blows for fans , wich never seemd to be huge in numbers .

I'd miss Red alert 3 , but was even surprised they considered it for ps3 .... given how easy (or rather lazy) it seems for rts dev to just port on 360 ...

EA's track record on ps3 is becoming incredibly nasty , especially for a console that gave those scammers quite a lot of money .

MikeGdaGod5821d ago

i'm more interested in End War and Civilization

Watkins5821d ago

Red Alert isn't that great, and I bet that this installment is gonna be as bad as all their other spin-offs lately. I won't shed any tears, I don't care the slightest. RTS on consoles? No thanks. THat is one genre that should be played on PC

Kain815821d ago

Sony will work on this titles after they finished the Other titles like LBP,HOME, BUZZ, The Last Guy and so on.

alan0015821d ago

Kain815821d ago

they are not cancelled only stoped

ry-guy5821d ago

I was interesting in Eight Days, however last time I checked when development stops for something it usually means it is cancelled.

Starcraft Ghost has had production stopped for years now, do you think they will be starting it up any time soon?

EA and PS3 don't mix very well like slightly soluble oil and water.

Kain815821d ago

--------------------
Wait for an Official announcement from EA

THE_JUDGE5821d ago

GameStop doesn't know crap about wether a game is still being made. Wait til EA says something.

Britjadg5821d ago

AGREED, i refuse to accept any facts from an article that cant spell "cancelled".

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1822d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie1d 23h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow1d 22h ago (Edited 1d 22h ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

ApocalypseShadow23h ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere1d 13h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow1d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney18h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno2d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno2d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii1d 19h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno1d 17h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
