Red Alert 3 disses SC2?20 Sep 2008, 16:11
by shadowie
With the release date of Red Alert 3 approaching, the EA marketing machine is in full effect. Their latest stunt is about 50 short ads posted as video replies to popular youtube videos. For example, here is the original video of a skate accident and their response.

A couple of these videos aren't posted as video replies at all (but probably should be). And the posters RedWhiteBlueAlert and ThrowingStarz (and a couple of others) have no details showing that they are official EA representatives. So take all this with a grain of salt, the following videos might not be aimed at StarCraft 2 at all (i.e. just fans posting them as replies to SC2 videos). It is probably a bit dangerous legal wise for EA to officially have ads against Blizzard?

Anyway, here are the RA3 ads that might be aimed at SC2:

The first one is posted as a reply to this SC2 video.




For more ads check out the youtube users RedWhiteBlueAlert and ThrowingStarz.

Post your thoughts in the comments, and thanks to Johnnyxp64 for PMing me about it :)

I just laugh if that's the case, their latest C&C games(like Tiberium Wars) have been crap compared to the first Red Alert and Tiberian Sun, and then both RA and TS is nothing compared to old Starcraft.

Poor attempt if they really are aiming at Starcraft, this just shows that they need ads hinting that their games are better in an attempt to make more people try/buy/play it, because they do know their game is worse and that Sc2 will beat it in e-sports while Sc2 speaks for itself and, with or without ads, will get more players.

This is all my personal thoughts and view on this thing.


Edit: Peter Stormare ftw, in those ads he reminds me of a friend, both the outfit and how he speak. ^^

RA3 is a comic style colorful pew-pew America vs. USSR aimed on noob auditory. Same modified gfx engine from C&C Generals and Tiberium Wars. Same mammooth tanks, same big tits commando women, pure "americanism" in dialogues and missions(like in almost every c&c game there is battle for Pentagon). I'm not against americans, but this is just infantile. And also, EA reputation. Who played EA games should know how bugged they are, every title is made like on conveyor and the worst thing they pay WCG and other events for their "e-sports" games, whese are crap every year and never seen any EA game at least with good balance(I played Battlefield 2, C&C Generals and Tiberium Wars). The patching from EA is just lol, if 1 year passed since game release, good luck waiting for patch, there will be NO patch :D EA cares about costumers only as long as game is "hot" on selling lists, there is no match to Blizzard who cares about such old titles like Warcraft 3 or gives an opportunity to play old games without CD required. Cinematics? Lol. While Blizzard's cinematics are piece of art, cinematics from C&C games are just boring, same hired 3rd class actors telling me with pathetic attempts to act about my objectives which makes me yawning. What I really don't get, why game menus in EA games are so damn overloaded, sometimes game itself runs more smooth than attempt to enter game settings in starting menu - it always lags. Startup of EA games - you can make sandwich or two while your game starts(console porting FTW). So, I won't buy any EA game in nearest years, gg no re :)
