EA has revealed that Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 for the PlayStation 3 is back in development after they put the Red Alert 3 for PS3 “on hold” back in June while EA concentrated on releasing the PC version that’s now available and the Xbox 360 version which releases on November 14th.
And for those who were holding out on a PS3 version, you are in luck because there will be extras added, including EA stating that they will “make the most of the 1080p resolution” and that they will do some “very cool things” with the extra space that the blu-ray disc provides. Although they weren’t specific:
“When we announced Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 we announced there was a PS3 version, then we decided to go on the record and say that we’ve suspended it to make sure that RA3 was able to come out to the level of quality that it must adhere to to be called a C&C game. We’ve hit that mark, we’ve shipped the game. And you know what that means? That means there’s another version left to be had. So there’s definitely people working on a PS3 version and we’ll be talking more about that later.”
“If you’re a PS3 owner and you don’t own a PC and you don’t have an Xbox 360 you don’t have to write on your Christmas or Hanukkah list that you want to have an Xbox,” he said. “You can play Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, bide your time and you’ll be very pleased. We’re looking at doing some really cool things with the PS3 version. Since it is shipping later we’re putting in a lot of cool content and really taking advantage of both the 1080p nature and the high-defness of Blu-Ray and also the fact that it can hold just so much more space.” said Command & Conquer TV presenter David Silverman to Videogamer.
A release date was not revealed but he did say that gamers who wait for the PS3 version will be “very pleased”.
