Prepare to buy some new pants because oh my god:

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is an upcoming real-time strategy video game in the Command & Conquer series published by Electronic Arts, and the first game in the Red Alert sub-series since Yuri's Revenge, released in 2001. The game is currently under development by EA Los Angeles for Microsoft Windows-based PCs, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It will be the first Command & Conquer RTS title for the PlayStation 3. It was announced on February 14, 2008. The game takes place in a parallel universe in which the Soviet Union still exists and World War III is ongoing between the Soviets, Allies and a new third faction known as the Empire of the Rising Sun, which is derived from Imperial Japan.

    Are they the exact same voice samples as RA2?

    Looks ace though.

    I was gonna post this :( . Anyway this trailer is awesome. Red Alert is awesome. Hell March is awesome. Those bears are awesome. Kirov Bombers are awesome. Not much more needs to be said about it besides speculation. Like will the giant squids be back?

    Presumably they haven't finished recording the new voice samples.

    Hell March. <3<3<3<3<3

    I've only played the original, but this looks good. That cannon that launched units. Those spide things that jumped down on the enemy units. That bomb that sucked all the units before blowing them up.

    People complaining about how EA killed Command and Conquer, go die. Sure, generals was crap, but between this and CnC3 I'm prepared to cut them some slack.

    All original sound clips and hell march really sealed the deal for me on this.

    Consider me officially super hyped.

    So who else has a beta key here? Think we can get a Let's Play going on come beta time? I'll be rubbish, I always am at online RTSes, but it'll still be fun.

    To be fair to the creators of Generals, the Zero Hour expansion improved the game thousandfold.

    In a game with armored bears, wormhole devices and giant enemy squids you are complaining about it not being desaturated enough and too colourful?

    Seriously, priorities man. Priorities.

    I'm not a big fan of RA2's visuals. It's not the bright colors, it's how eveything looked like a toy. Generals was even worse.

    This looks much better. The trailer failed to impress though. The remix wasn't nearly as good as the original march.

    Then again, BEARS IN ARMOR.

    After Generals I gave up on the C&C franchise but it looks like they are doing this right. There is no expression, even one involving all my dicks cumming, that can express how excited I am.

    I'm pretty much getting this (trying to get RA2 to work at LANs is such a pain), but does anyone else feel an awkward, cartoony-vibe from the graphics?

    It's weird, because RA2 was somewhat cartoony, but this feels more so.

    Not that it will drive me away from a purchase, but this still looks like toys to me, more so than RA2.

    As long as the game is fun and reasonably balanced, though, I'm getting it. Did they get that Frank guy to do the music for this one, too?

    Dawn of War 2 beats both. Seriously.

    That's a surprisingly viable reason.

    I totally need to bust out RA2 again. I'm total crap at it, and all RTSes, but I love them so.

    I've considered buying Kane's Wrath in order to get a RA3 beta key, even though I don't own CnC3. One of the reasons I haven't done so, is because it'd probably run like crap on my computer.
