Command & Conquer Red Alert Hands-On Preview (iPhone)

[TRicKYmAndb]

RA3 - fail.

[bakankrauser]

Nice...

[i0nPuNk182]

woah... this is an RA3 game but the buildings are RA2 haha... i guess its because they didnt go back in time yet and change history?

[Milkandcookeys]

It's a shame i hate apple so much

[neogastropoda1]

in 98.5% of laptops you can only upgrade RAM and HDD.

go on dabs or ebuyer or newegg or ebay.

build a PC, AMD quad core, 4gb ram, good/average geforce or AMD graphics, 500GB HDD for £300/$460

not the highest spec PC but it will play 95% of games pretty well

[theitatit]

red alert 3 is acttualy EPIC comparing to c&c4 EA screwed everything

[neogastropoda1]

@theitatit my shit is epic compared to cnc 4

[MrGuitarman187]

no fuking way i need an itouch or iphone now i love command an conquer on the go shit awsmome

[0031reverze]

Where can i get this for android? (samsung galaxy ace)

[nnexuz27]

Red Alert 3 is much better than Ra2...Red alert 3 AI is more aggressive and brutal...They Lunch attack every corner of your base...thats why its more thrilling than ra2..Red alert 2 AI is aggressive at 1st but when they out of ore...they will stuck..

[adryyy2]

Ohh , i want this for android :( .

[aminexy]

@adryyy2 the have for android

[vKreeZy]

Wafare incorporated is better than this

[kirby1fan]

how come games like this aren't on android?

[loopyloo413]

have this and they rising sun expansion.

[whiskymarko]

red alert 2 one of the best games lol

[guily6669]

@DecaStudios I FREAKIN ENJOYED IT BACK THEN... good old times.

[SybilianShade]

awesome music

[gmodman999]

Seriously... Used Red Alert 3 names but used 3d Red alert 2 models?

[WoeiWaai]

is this a mix of red alert2 &3?

[karltamm1]

Weird i can also choose the empire

[MonovarNSK]

Holy shit!!! That's great guys!!! Thats real RA2 coool. On the 9th may I'll buy touch 4g 32gb)))

[Clear2Fly]

please can anyone tell me what's the song in 1:00

[DocterEvil111]

@Clear2Fly Red alert 3 OST - For Mother Russia

[Clear2Fly]

@DocterEvil111 thank you

[LAHrebirth]

i failed on the same level , the level has too many flaws i tried complaining to EA mobile games

how do you beat a CPU that has two bases, immediately attacks you even if you wipe out some buildings it somehow STILL can generate more men and vechiles faster then you?

prism tanks are not like pc versions, it takes ages to destroy, and no point fixing defenses or buildings the cpu can kill them in a flash

[emotionalpunkboy]

this is like red alert 2.5. It takes place between ra3 and ra2.

Soviets steal allies time machine in the iphone version and in the ra3 soviets use it to erase einstein from time just like they erased hitler in ra1.

I seriously don't understand whats with you bastards complaining about ra3. Yes ea has poor game support but ra3 was a great game! Give me reasons why

The ra3 Mod dev team are making ra2 and ra1 for the ra3 engine. It looks amazing with 3d graphics, but they are not finished yet.

[Zaptagious]

Will this work on an android?

[cullum14]

@Zaptagious No, are you seriously that stupid. They are completely different OS

[Zaptagious]

@cullum14 Are you seriously that stupid to think I'm that stupid to not know they're different OS? I imagined it wouldn't be so hard to port it or something. Maybe I didn't make it clear, but no need for insults, dude.

Merry christmas, douchebag.

[cullum14]

@Zaptagious to my knowledge no game has been ported from iphone to android. It would be down to the developer to make a android version

[Zaptagious]

@cullum14 right, because I also heard that you could emulate android on iphone or something like that, anyway, thanks for enlighten me. :P

[FoglakDuglak]

Red Alert 1 is LEGEND!

They should make an -enhanced remake-, like Monkey Island SE

Means dont change nothing, just add more pixels... extend the draws upto HD

Keep the original sounds aswell

I will buy it, Good luck :)

[Scykei]

It's sluggish and I don't like the graphics. On the small iPhone screen, I'd rather have a more cartoonish look and it might be better if it can be viewed top down?

[MarshalHopalop]

I could see this really being a pain to play when you need to move lots of men quickly

[urluk13]

what's the music, in the background?

[Ciel1993]

This game totaly suck...suck graphic, suck control, suck camera, suck AI, suck etc...I would say even if they put the origin red aleart 2 on it would be better

[RetroRepair]

Gotta say, I'm diggin this. The haters complaining about graphics need a reality check. For a game on a PHONE this is amazing!

[m372466]

This game looks good but StarCraft for Windows Mobile beats this.

[spyang302]

@m372466 this is on the ipod dude, what can u expect?

[ImmortalIggy]

How do i get this outside of the USA? im in australia

[thepoke3000]

This one is more like RA2 in 3D with crappy graphics.

[jacobbrett119]

Disappointed this isn't a port of the original game...

[FrikZz0r]

Red alert... on your mobile phone. If someone told me that couple of years ago, I would say they're full of shit. Same goes for Chinatown wars, Nova, Eliminate Pro and so on.

Also, iPhone is not really a strong hardware to begin with. Imagine what will next generation iPhone bring.

[fhadj]

Lets all face it... Westwood will always be the best

[Cruz182]

yup, generals was a hole in EA LA , but CnC red alert 3 were worst, and the upcoming CnC 4 will be a shoot in the all CnC fans! Did you played the multiplayer of generals ? OF course not, no one played, cause the game was always saying "there was a mistached..." LoL

[MultiAREE]

@Cruz182 I love RA3, great factions and units, and fun

[oneshotkill27]

zero hour is the shit

[migkillerphantom]

Bu the AI is good.

[migkillerphantom]

But the AI is good.

[migkillerphantom]

Noone ever plays it on multiplayer :(

[liuzuyang]

great game！

[sporefreak105]

RA2 can suck RA3 for PCs ass

[RohMaharajaChina]

I feel more satisfied play on PC

[SadlyLate]

it's a phone... it's more for people who are waiting for something... or people using the train etc..

[ant1991331]

Needs moar RA1

[LiangHuBBB]

Needs more C&C1.:P

[darkedgekilla]

they need to port command and conquer to the psp or Ds, would gladly buy red 1 or 2 on the psp.

[jesuslovingsatanist]

Red Alert 1, RA: Retaliation, and C&C 1 are available on the Sony PSP store for download - $5.99 each.

[darkedgekilla]

eh, do not really feel like putting credit card number on psp (boucing off other people)

[cheezecakeV2]

shit. I guess its really time to upgrade my laptop when the iphone can run stuff better than it....

[mcrdrummer]

@cheezecakeV2

HAHAHA

[iiTudy]

@cheezecakeV2 haha

[Wajllow]

is it for iphone 3g ? or only for 3gs ?

seems to be funny

[vaguedustin]

lol

[pikleking23]

Same here. Red alert 2 destroyed 3

[8Nifon8]

O_O

[stapendian]

too bad it always crashen on my ipod

[danny1djw]

i think they should make this for the DS instead of the ipod tbh

[Specter750]

CONSCRIPT 300$!?!?!?

Well at least Apocalypse cost 1400$

[LFMR8867]

dudes witch game do you think is better this one or settlers? (for the ipod)

[Ultimateendzzz]

i would say "The Settlers" but they both feel and have a different idea to them ..

but they are both too damn good !!

[ChaosMissile]

I...am incredibly stunned. This game....is uh...an amalgamation of Red Alert 1 and 2 units and buildings, Red Alert 2-like story and Red Alert 3 graphics. That gave me a headache.

[terminatorgir]

EA kinda ruined this franchise. oh well, still looks decent

[Cjlewis1000]

i 100% AGREE with you ...westwood made Cnc What oita become ...i must say tho the graphics on this game on i phone are bettah the D.S loooooool i do not care if u lot disagreeeee

[Cadjuice2]

kinda ruined this game ?, ea ruined it completely, they only added more graphics and make the game suck dick for real. Red alert 2 is 1000 times better than red alert 3!!!

[Cadjuice2]

big up westwood

[KnightMD]

I agree Red Alert 2 was legendary compared to the terrible RA3. I loved Generals the most though, so I can't blame EA for ruining the franchise.

[m45k4]

oh man, if you loved generals, you should not make a word about rest of CnC...

[Splinky9588]

@Cadjuice2 I fuckin' hear you, as soon as EA got their dirty hands on C&C they raped it completely... (excluding Renegade of course). I wish they would have just released a port of the original Red Alert, it would have been a thousand times better... I liked the first Red Alert better then the second.

[Lillajohan123]

@Cadjuice2 Well i own some of the old versions and red alert 3 and im relly happy with red alert 3 i like it so much that i will buy red alert 4 =D... If u think it sucks then u are to use to the old way to play but new graphics is relly nice... Better animation better cerracters and more buildings is a must!

[AryanPride18]

@Cadjuice2 of course

[guily6669]

@Cadjuice2 Totally agree. Red alert 3 looks like it was made for kids. Fuck EA. RED ALERT 2 4 me is one of the only strategy games i like, in fact i have finished red alert 2 3 times, FUCK EA for fucking C & C 4 ever.

Tiberium wars also suck...

[dragondisaster]

@Cadjuice2 I like both games, why is Red Alert 3 worse? The factions are more balanced for competitive play and the cheesy cutscenes were just as campy as Yuri's Revenge. I am so sorry I am not blinded by nostalgia or EA Hate to agree with you.

[C4XGT]

LOL to mikeyxxx1988 it made me fill like a kid again 2 ! im so happy its out on the iphone! mikey it dont think its out on the ps3 n i dont think it would be, i didnt like red alert when thay changed the view to on the ground it went crap but i had all of them up 2 the 1 when it on ground view!

[m372466]

Those enemy Prism Tanks look different than than the ones on Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge.

[mikeyxxx1988]

i wish it was like old school command and conquer that song at the start made me feel like i was a kid again that game owned! any one know if i could play command and conquer red alert on my

Ps3?

[712Songs]

yes u can

[Cjlewis1000]

Yeahh if you have a credit card then your in luck mate u can download it 4 3 pounds suttin like that on ps3 store red alert 1 and the other addons like red alert retaliation and aftermath (Y)

[Supersacco]

awesome!

[ivan55599]

lol rhino...;)

if some 1 can take pictures about new commanders, l would be thankful. send pm for link

[ParasiteArtist]

Thanks for uploading this!

[lllSCOOPlll]

love those guitar riffs !

and the game ... well ... meh

feild runners is much funner

[teq2k]

also es sieht ja nett aus, keine frage... aber irgendwie auch mega lahm und langweilig

[dschobst]

find ich auch. werds mir wahrscheinlich nicht ziehen.

[DeAchtergrondNL]

Yep it's been released:) Downloaded it this morning. Controls are pretty good, not a lot of units though.

[Valkirie6666666]

Howto create a sandbox account ?

[thefirstBmazing]

time to start kicken ass and taken names

[Seth460]

...

[Dvsh0112]

What's the use of giving a release date if they don't respect it. Now ea mobile says it's coming early November.WTF.

[luisfe07]

Its already out in NZ. Should be out in North America by midnight

[CopyNinja87]

ITS already out i just downloaded it

[bigbob1234345]

ahhhh, the sounds from red alert 2

i love it <3

[notforangels]

[notforangels]

ah ok.. isnt that bad of their image or whatever.. saying its going to be released on the 23rd and then not releasing it.. and theyre probably gonna delay that date to piss people off

tennis ball launcher.. sounds fun

ill go train evil care bears and cheetah ninjas to go get them

[Parker103103]

I demand a tennis ball laucher!

[notforangels]

when is it out ? and im in with you guys but first steal the game, sell it to everyone, then egg, toilet paper and weather storm their asses

[Dvsh0112]

Why not deploy a weather storm on the place!

[Parker103103]

ok lets also tiolet paper the place, you get the tiolet paper ill get the eggs

[Dvsh0112]

Let's go dude.

[Parker103103]

im gonna go throw eggs at ea's headquaters lol

[leffga]

Urghhh. I was hoping it would be out today. I heard somewhere the 28th at the latest. Guess not.

[Seth460]

Well I don't think your website is very reliable. Because it's not out yet. Lol.

[xIBrOokLyINx]

Of course it is.EA just sucks ;)

[Seth460]

I'm hoping today!!! Someone mentioned 28th.

[lolflakes]

This looks very funny

[Valkirie6666666]

Because we all want it to be released today ! :p

[Dvsh0112]

How do you know?

[xIBrOokLyINx]

Read it on a very reliable website.

[xIBrOokLyINx]

Should be out today

[ViPeR354]

this is really horny

[Seth460]

Still nothing. I'm dying here! If you can't give me the app give me the actual release date!!

[kruz200]

anyway, i wil get my ipod touch on 31 december :p

[MrIFred]

Nothing yet :(

[Seth460]

Yeah I tried searching on ea games website breifly and didn't find any mention of a release date, but hundreds of game sites said Oct. 23. Who knows. =[ maybe ea submitted app to apple on 23rd and it's waiting to be posted

[juanpmunoz]

ea posted a release dates you fucking moron. they said clearly. "on the app store October 23rd." so go fuck yourself

[pinesolparrot]

that looks so sweet

[Dvsh0112]

Ea has never announced an official date but said it would be coming late October. Anyone knows what "late October" means.I guess we will have to wait till 1st November.

[Seth460]

+1. What benefit do you get from lying about something like this?

[Flyingdream31188]

All these ppl who have been intentionally lying about release dates for Iphone apps should get a life.. stupid idiots.

[juanpmunoz]

fucking ea. they said the 23rd

[Valkirie6666666]

I won't bet on it...

[Seth460]

Dudes lying for sure

[Dvsh0112]

Bloody liar. If you have really downloaded the game post a video or the iTunes link!

[Parker103103]

i think hes lying

[Seth460]

?!?

[Seth460]

I don't see it. I've typed in red alert, command and conquer, as well as searched all EA games' apps. Where are you seeing it?

[courousso]

Finally! They must have had a delay getting approved or something. Downloading now, have waited ages for this. Enjoy guys!

[Dvsh0112]

Am tired of waiting blindly. To make matters worst ea has not posted the release date on it's website.

[juanpmunoz]

it looks like there may be another day without red alert on my iphone.

[Parker103103]

can someone post on this vid when it comes out? and im pretty sure it comes out today cause i searched october 28th and nothing came up, only date that is given today. cant wait to waist some more hours of my life XD

[Parker103103]

lol im checking it too, dont see anything :(

[juanpmunoz]

yea ive been checking the appstore nothing yet. judging by when rockband came out (1:30 pm eastern) im hoping it comes through today around that time. hopefully it has to do with california time and apps being reviewed in cali.

[jordthebrave]

looks stunning =)

[juanpmunoz]

i hope that this really comes out tomorrow. i have been waiting all week for it!!!!! i have searched everywhere has anyone found confirmation that it is coming out the 23rd?

[xIBrOokLyINx]

Yeah.I checked the app store today but it wasnt there :(.

Right after this i goolged the name and a web page told me its gonna be out at 28th

[masterhidsert1043]

when is the game coming out?

[DeAchtergrondNL]

It could come as soon as tomorrow, October 23rd.

[zimaq]

argh! can't wait!

[edwardyeeks]

Hope it won't be too expensive, it looks great, though graphics can do better

[VastedCouth]

Controls look solid, but graphics could be better and screen seems cramped.

[360saurus]

wat r those new tanks called?

and will there be multiplayer?

[ilyajedi]

OMG! 3D RTS on iPhone... It looks really great. Can't wait for it

[deesies]

Anyone noticed that these are Red Alert 2 structures?

[Sanaa2k]

They should just port Red Alert 2

[Howardyt]

Awesome, but there is one thing that bothered me a little.

I personally think that the infantry should have a idle animation when standing still, instead of just having a freeze on their normal animation... I mean the rocket guy shown in the video looks totally awkward frozen in his running position.

[SageNaruto2010]

get invited to lockerz com. send me a message.

[zc456]

I have never played C&C Red Alert so this will be fun if I ever get my hands on it.

[jennbootz349]

sluts that drive big, big trucks. in the mud. naked. white trash at its finest.

[Link4587452]

Wow they actually made an iPhail version?

[TheDolovan]

you fail

[DrackDragonX]

not bad :)

[jarman1111]

pretty cool on palmtops :D

[lucaboris]

some things just shouldnt be done

[evotech]

looks like shit tbh, soooo SLOOOOOOOOW

[DarkLord61636]

Man, forget about all these haters,

I can't wait for this! =D

[JakubWeber]

Do you know somebody, it's for 3G version of iPhone too?

[TheLastHaze]

Funny how they used the old Red Alert 2 building modules, they are right?

[amedamaruman]

yea....but its still awesome...gotta admit that.

plus, ra3 graphics are gonna be hard to make on a tiny iphone screen

[TheLastHaze]

Oh I never ment it was funny in a bad way, I played alot of RA2 so that's just cool. ^^

It is indeed pretty awesome to see a game as "RA3" run on a iPhone, and at this quality aswell. =)

[Chubzdoomer]

What does difficulty have to do with a game being BORING and SLOW? It can still be difficult. If you take the hardest strategy game of all time and slow it down to a crawl, it's still going to be difficult because you still have the same unit and resource management.

And yes, I have played RTS lately. I have Red Alert 3 on PC, and it's much faster and smoother than what's in this video. It's as if the gameplay was slowed to a crawl. Sorry if I hurt your feelings via my opinion.

[muimulti]

they should make a iphone only like gameplay... like tower defense mixed with sniper elements and so on... just an idea.

the interaction design looks like hell :S

[toomanyninjas07]

Oh god this looks horrible, I'd like to see how they justify this from a story perspective.

Takei goes back in time drinks the contents of a glow stick then pisses on Einstein.

This is the only way some kind of bizzare mixture of all the red alert games could happen.
