What do you want from Red Alert 4?
After the disappointing end to the tiberium series I want the Red alert series to fare better.
Personally I want this:

The return of Yuri and his army along with a Yuri Campaign.
Bases (Yes tiberium twilight I'm talking about you!)
Less cartoony graphics than RA3 more realistic graphics.
Skirmish and LAN options. (A lot of games are ditching these and I find it rather irritating.)
NO DRM!!! (No internet access required)

I know what I don't want - The crap they pushed with C&C4 to show up in Red Alert.

 

[Amnestic]

More hilarious parodies of the RTS genre and their own series.

RA3 caught a lot of flak for its ridiculousness but I thought that was part of the charm. I liked the blatant T+A, I liked how the storyline was insane. I liked the stereotypes and I liked being able to field a giant three-bodied samurai robot to ramapage over cities because I can.

"I know what I don't want - The crap they pushed with C&C4 to show up in Red Alert."

Which crap would that be? There was quite a lot of it.

Bear cavalry. It could actually do it.

A balanced, fun game would be good.

One thing that pissed me off about RA3 was how they said: "You know, players loved all the wacky humor in this series. So let's add about a million times more of that, that'd make them LOVE it!" Bits of humor in RA1 were fun. RA2 had just about the right amount of wackiness and enjoyable tack. RA3 just went way over and well...

It was just silly.

So cut down on the wack. As for the game itself, go the Tiberium Wars way rather than Tiberium Twilight.

I'd stick with co-op campaign, the single player AI was a bit dumb, but playing with a friend adds so much fun...

Keep the B-movie style live-action videos. That's a MUST for any C&C game and Generals sucked because it lacked this.

RA1 was pretty dark when you go through it again. I want that back. Not the bullshit that happened in 2-3.

Oh yes that's exactly what games need. More dark grittiness. 'cos we haven't got a bunch of those around have we?

 

[Bato]

Are they going to make a Red Alert 4?
After what EA did to the Tiberium series, I'm not sure if they will make another Command and Conquer game.
If they do, I think EA will just try it's best to ruin that series too.

Yeah, I know people who think the only reason to buy it was the complementary poster. I thought it was nice that they didn't take themselves seriously. its like Gremlins 2; its self aware and just runs with it as far as it can.

More of the same and larger, crazier mech units would be nice as well as a good base system. C&C 4 just wont fit in with the rest of these great games

I know what i want....

C&C Generals 2

God forbid war isn't camp, might forget people actually die and aren't all standing around showing tits.

 

[Keava]

I want it to not come out. IF they are not able to make an enjoyable RTS expierience and just re-do same game with really odd choice of graphics or pointless gameplay elements, then maybe its time to move to something else.

I'm sorry, I assumed games were made for escapism not trying to make me feel shit about the state of the actual world.

Definitely, keep glamorizing and mocking the death of millions.

You mean millions of pixels?

Okay, I will.

This is awesome.

So is this.

And this.

Seriously, get off your high horse. It's a fucking game. I could argue that by desiring a realistic simulation you're cheapening what actually goes on by mercilessly parodying it in a close reconstruction but one without any of the dangers or psychological torture. At least RA3 didn't pretend to be close to that but just said "Fuck it, let's go nuts."

Agree with all of this, would also be nice to throw in a game that didn't glitch out and was properly made without most of its budget going on the FMV sequences too. Oh also, as part of development, give the game to a seperate semi-independent development team, then have EA kept in a different time zone to said developers (one where the EA staff are all in bed while its being made so as to prevent any tampering or general envolvment)... rinse and repeat for pretty much all EA owned franchises

Agreed. Did they even play the first mission of the soviet campaign? The one where you mercilessly slaughter civilians because they dared to survive being gassed to death?
The one that ended with that cutscene of civilians being machine gunned by aeroplanes? With the sympathy doll shot?

Yeah, that mission had me rolling on the floor for hours.

I know what i want....

C&C Generals 2

I second this.

As for what I want from RA4, more Tim Curry.
