EA has just confirmed to Strategy Informer that the PlayStation 3 version of Red Alert 3 has been put on Hold.

Jonathan Goddard, PR Manager for EA said; “We can confirm that the development of Red Alert 3 for PS3 has been put on hold. EALA is focusing resources on development for PC and Xbox 360 which will ship simultaneously this autumn.”

EA has finally confirmed the rumors. No RA3 for PS3

hmmm...ah well... they dont tend to be that good on consoles anyway. id buy it for pc if i was going to get it. roll on mgs4

 

[vincent1989]

it's not that brilliant of a game by the looks of it, i'd rather have halo wars...oh wait...ahahahaha!

I think they just realized that no one plays RTSs on consoles!

RA1 on ps ruled , lots of people play RTS on consoles, that's kind of like saying no one plays FPS on consoles 'cos the mouse and kb roxxors', it's just not true

Has there been any RTS on PS3 yet? 360 is getting quite a few.

Cursor movement with a pad = not fun. RA1 on PS for example I just couldn't come to terms with after playing on PC, same with things like Theme Park & Hospital on PS, horrible, and Sim City. I couldn't see why you would prefer to play an RTS on a console unless it had keyboard and mouse support, they're kinda designed for the m/kb. Suppose FPS console gaming has come a long way so maybe RTS has changed.

Yes they have, the control methods are being heavily developed, tried the demos for BFME2 and C&C3 and found them very playable actually.

maybe
but with the sony bragging about keyboard and mouse support its strange
another game running into problems on ps3

played theme hospital on PC and ps: one, thought the controller was better , same with RA1, played it on both, PC looked slightly better but i preferred the pad for control, themepark played/completed on PS: one, again, loved, didn't have a problem with the controls, just because you prefer PC doesn't mean other people wont prefer console, you're just jealous

i like to have all the buttons neatly arrayed out in front of me without loads of other, non useful buttons in the way, and the analogue stick is the dogs for scrolling, still prefer FPS on PC, but i have no problem with playing them on a console either.

i guess i grew up on consoles which is why i'm largely indifferent, i remember playing quake on the lan at school (instead of doing work) and it took me a long time to be able to use the mouse as ell as the keyboard (was using pg up/dn for vertical look etc) i mean, we didn't even own a PC in the house till i was 17 (paid for by me when i got my first job) and i'd had consoles since i was about 10.

Command and Conquer 3 had a fairly good control system on the 360, its a shame they wouldnt let you use a USB mouse though, i'd of played it a lot more if I was able to use a mouse (and I normally prefer a gamepad for everything)

Red Alert was awesome though on the PS1.

C&C3 was like a giant steaming turd! Pikmin is heading in the right direction for console RTS games.

The funny thing is, i think the SIXAXIS would be quite a nice addition to the controls of an RTS. Not as good as the Wiimote would be, but i still think it could be good.

lol ps3 always gets delayed

 

[da_mic_1530]

is this going to be released on the 360, if so what date? would love to play CnC again

 

[CliffyBiro]

Didn't even know it was going to be out on PS3. Excellent

 

[vincent1989]

is this going to be released on the 360, if so what date? would love to play CnC again

octoberish?

edit: yup, october for the 360, tba for the ps3 *sniggers*

very close to the release date of halo wars, another big RTS due out for the 360 this year

lol ps3 always gets delayed

Its strange to see the 360 fangirls in a thread about a delayed ps3 game ....... sad to see the little children gloat over a canceled game .......

I also question the motives of the op ....... he seems to trawl the internet for negative ps3 news.

Do you own a ps3 bobby?


Also this game is no loss ...... RTS equals PC, no discussion.


And yeah I own a ps3 and 360, just the same irritating geeks all gathering for a circle jerk over a bit of bad ps3 news.

 

[McManicMan]

the joys of owning both consoles, best of both worlds, console fanboys gloating on threads like these make me laugh at their sadness, lol
