Red Alert 3 for PS3 'on hold' | Quote: | Yesterday, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe revealed that it had "ceased production" on two first-party PlayStation 3 games, The Getaway and Eight Days.
Today, it's Electronic Arts' turn, as the megapublisher has told the press that the PS3 version of the Soviet-themed Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is also being put into cold storage.
An EA rep simply said, "We can confirm that the development of Red Alert 3 for PS3 has been put on hold. EA LA is focusing resources on development for PC and Xbox 360 which will ship simultaneously this autumn." No reason was given for pulling resources from the PS3 version of the game, or whether gamers could realistically expect work to be continued on it at some point in the future.
Red Alert 3 is the first installment in the Command & Conquer spin-off series since 2001 expansion pack Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge. The real-time strategy game takes place in an alternate-technology future where World War III is raging between the US, the Soviet Union, and a never-defeated Imperial Japan.

BTW, Getaway 3 and Eight Days were canceled and now this.
Bad week for PS3 owners.

Or the most weird critic ever. They have given a lot of bad games good scores. Red Steel for example.

they are a bit biased at times..

Yes, they are since most of the 40/40 games are from Japan XD...Anyways Red Alert 3, an RTS on a console woulnd't workout in my opinion.

I've played WOrld in Conflict and Supreme commander both originally on the PC and ported to the 360 and the control scheme is HORRENDOUS. Just a way for the devs to make money from the pirated copies I believe. And then they go and do that to C&C Kane's Wrath....Console Gamers must die ><.

And the consoles sales were even lower than the PC ones.
Too bad they don't get the kings of RTS games Starcraft 2, Company of Heroes, Dawn of War 2, or hell even Age of Empires.
