oh god it's got robots that turn into jets, giant mecha robots that smash stuff with their fists and shoot laser beams out of their eyes, and planes that can submerge. Super cool.

Video here:

(video includes new Hell March I think).

Quote

the Rising Sun's ground-based Mecha Tengu walkers (half-jet, half-robot-walker mechs bear a passing resemblance to the transforming jet/robots from the classic Japanese anime Super Dimensional Fortress Macross) and the swift Seawing submarines (which seem a bit like the transforming light/dark ship from the satisfyingly challenging arcade shooter Ikaruga)

Oh and the box art is official:

Completely ridicuous, which in the Red Alert world, is just perfect.

Holy shit.

Even if this WAS coming to Steam day one, I'd be tempted to grab that retail box.

Vizzys · « **Reply #7 on:** July 13, 2008, 08:00:59 PM »

fuck yeah

honestly the first thing that caught my attention was that fucking bear

Incredible... Red Alert was one of the first PC games I ever bought and I loved it to death. I can't wait for this. Is that the real box art? It looks absolutely glorious.

Flying subs are awesome. I will buy this.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #10 on:** July 13, 2008, 08:30:03 PM »

that box is the greatest box

also, FLYING SUBMARINES

Crushed · « **Reply #11 on:** July 13, 2008, 08:33:24 PM »

Are they flying submarines or submerging airplanes? This is a deep and important question.

Also, the design of those floating tanks is reminiscent of the submersible Triton tanks from Total Annihilation.

cool breeze · « **Reply #12 on:** July 13, 2008, 08:42:07 PM »

Flying Submarines.

The idea of something coming out of the water to the sky is a lot more awesome than something flying going into the water. I mean, when that happens it is called crash. When a submarine flies of of water you are speechless.

this looks to be a smorgasborg of inexplicable awesome

soviet bear cavalry versus gundams versus jet fighter submarines, now with hot commie chicks

CHOW CHOW · « **Reply #14 on:** July 13, 2008, 08:56:09 PM »

Live action cutscenes are back as well. This game will be shamelessly awesome.

Akala · « **Reply #15 on:** July 13, 2008, 10:28:52 PM »

That's the best EA logo I've ever seen.

Hopefully my computer can run it or a console port is released. I'm going to buy it at a gamestop with one Russian flag shirt on.

An Xbox 360 version was confirmed a while back.

So true yet it won't get a fraction of the recognition.

Kim Jong Il likes Red Alert 3, anyway! He's the only Korean that matters.
