Rumour-Mill: No mention of PS3 version in latest Red Alert 3 tech demo, has the game been halted or delayed?

27
EA has allowed Gamespy and IGN to host a 15 minute Walkthrough trailer for Red Alert 3. It contains examples of how players will be able to build bases both on land and sea, the types of units that you'll be able to combine to create different methods of assaults, and it also plays through a mission which was developed as a tech demo.

That isn't all that this trailer reveals though, we've noticed that during the last few seconds of the footage EA mentions that Red Alert 3 is coming to the PC and Xbox 360, but no PlayStation 3 version was mentioned.

Gotta disagree as the C&C franchise is one of my favorites. I am really hoping for a PS3 release on this one.

what is this game. Who cares this the first time I even heard of it so if it doesn't show who cares. The PS3 has plenty of exclusives that will never be on another platform. Either way if your a fan play it on the PC.

Lmao @ the PS3 fanboys who hate this game for no reason.

But I do have to agree that this game blows anyway because EA ruined the C&C franchise. And what happened to that C&C FPS they were making? I remember hearing about it a while ago but not recently

2 - It really doesn't make sense to not release strategy games on the PS3
Considering how easy it is to integrate mouse and keyboard support into games on the PS3 (Unreal Tournament III, for example), I don't see why more strategy developers aren't looking at the system as an option. After all, a big negative in most reviews for strategy games released on the 360 is the fact that it's just plain clunky to use a controller for any strategy-based games.

I think it's just the fact that most strategy game developers have an entire game development environment based around the PC, and it's just easier to port from the PC to the 360 than it is to the PS3. Sad really, because they would enable players to use a better functioning control scheme on a system that readily supports it (other than the PC, of course).

Because unlike the PC-centric Command and Conquer games, Pixel Junk monsters was designed with a controller in mind. It works out perfectly, and the extremely simple interface and gameplay sits well in a console environment.

They certainly can incorporate the mouse/keyboard into a PS3 control scheme, but they can't center the game with the expectation that all the users will have one. Anyone that designs on the console has to assume the user has a controller or their sales will take a beating.

The keyword here is "action-oriented gameplay". The RA franchise isn't one of those games where you can relax and order units into battle. Its fast, hectic and very micro heavy. Thats the problem with most PC RTS, they're designed and balanced to play with the mouse and keyboard in mind where effective microing is extremely important.

Good luck trying to micro yourself out of tank rush with a gamepad, it just can't be done.

That quote however, is when they announced the game for the first time. They are saying that since then, the game may have been delayed or canceled. I really hope it has not.

4 - game delayed due to ps3?
we all know the ps3 is a bugger to program, that is PROBABLY the reason for the delay? As is the case with many multis the ps3 seems to hold them all back because it is hard to program. I for one am getting sick of the ps3 delaying all the multis. Seriously though why can't there be two seperate release dates, getting the games to 360 owners 1st then later when the PS3 version is as good releasing the game for the PS3?

It'd be a pity if we missed out on Red Alert 3. I've always liked the C&C games.
