Falcon_BlizZACK Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 boot camp? Indeed! Which is what i use on my Mac Mini to play C&C3 on my SUPER MAC XP!!11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKOB Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 boot camp? CBA. And i don't want to bastardise my mac and start worrying about viruses and crashing and the like. I'm in still in love with my mac as it is, so i can wait for an OS X version. Just hope it's a better port than the C&C 3 one. That was annoying.

I wouldn't waste £40 on Cider ports... actually I did once, never again. If you want some decent comp gaming on a Mac, best choice is Bootcamp. Just don't download pr0n and various shite and your windows partition will be fine. Even so, a Windows virus won't affect the Mac partition.

CoolFunkMan Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Red Alert 3 Cast revealed! http://kotaku.com/5039246/meet-your-sexy-new-red-alert-3-cast Dissapointing that Kari Wurher isn't returning as Tanya. :/ We've got Jenny McCarthy instead. But this game also has Tim Curry, so it'll be full of awesome... EDIT: Here's the trailer: http://www.ea.com/redalert/news-detail.jsp?id=57 Though I always get an error when trying to view it after downloading it. :/ EDIT 2: Looks like the XBox 360 version might be released alongside the PC version, if this promo pic is anything to go by... http://www.ea.com/redalert/news-detail.jsp?id=PreOrder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViPeR Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 So how is the game then? I'm really looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolFunkMan Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 So how is the game then? I'm really looking forward to it. From what I've played so far, it's pretty awesome! ^^ As I said earlier, it feels like Generals mixed with Red Alert, and they both mix suprisingly well. Though I have noticed a few rush tactics now, but they can easily be countered if you prepare. It deffinitely stays true to the Red Alert series imo, whilst trying something new. EDIT: This is off-topic, I know... but since when did I become a Forum Aficionado? O.o *looks at post count* Ah, that explains it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaggle64 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Why is Jonathan Price in RA3? Why do I suddenly want RA3 now that I know Jonathan Price is in it? More importantly though, why in the name of god is Jonathan Price in RA3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haden Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Whose getting this for the 360? I just played the demo of C and C 3 and imo the controls sucked ass but I didnt play it for that long. Do you controls get better the longer you play? I just cant cope with not being able to drag my mouse across the screen to get all the units I want asap.

Do you controls get better the longer you play? I just cant cope with not being able to drag my mouse across the screen to get all the units I want asap. I'll be getting it for 360. Im fine with the controls, i feel i can play them just as well as red alert 2 on PC, but each to there own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 it's all about context with the controls anyway: it doesn't matter that the 360 pad is slower than a mouse because everyone is using the pad. if there was the option for mouse and keyboard that gave an advantage, then it'd be an issue. As it is, the playing field is level so the point is moot oui? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 The 360 controls in C&C3 Kanes Wrath is very good actually. Anyway, what is that unit in Red Alert 3 that responds "I am your servant" in an English accent when selected? LOLage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I didn't think it could. Thats why they released that keyboard thinge to connect to the controller coz you couldn't connect a keyboard.I've connected my keyboard to my 360 by the USB slot plenty of times, it certainly does work. I just don't know if you can use a mouse for C&C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calza Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Yeah a normal keyboard can only be used for typing text, it can't be used for anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolFunkMan Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Red Alert 3 - Leipzig 2008 interview http://www.gametrailers.com/player/39311.html It's stated in the interview that EA are using an improved version of the UI from Kane's Wrath for the 360 version. Also, the release dates... PC version - Late October (I'm guessing 24th or 31st Oct) 360 version - Early November (probably 7th or 14th Nov) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 fucks sake, how much money do these people think we have? 'OK guys lets compete with the two biggest multiplayer releases of the year. I'm pretty sure everyone has about £200 knocking about for all these games anyway, right?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
