Red Alert

Red Alert was a great game.
Red Alert 2 was indescribable.
Red Alert 3 was eh okay.
I heard they were making a Red Alert 4..?
It would be funny if they made Red Alert 5 before they made Red Alert 4, just for the sake of time travel

Now, I've heard people claim that Red Alert is not a strategy game. Personally, I find Red Alert to be the "grand father" to strategy games, it was broken as hell (since it just came down to who could rush first), but it spawned a boundless array of other strategy games, who build on the same concept. What do you think about this matter?

Since they sold C&C to EA, it's gone downhill in my opinion. I hope they sell the C&C series to another company, such as DICE, or Valve.
Who knows, maybe the next RA game will finally have Nazis!

I've also heard people say the RTS genre has been dieing lately. What do you think about that?
I hope that Planetary Annihilation will kickstart a whole new branch of RTS. But I think that the reason that the RTS genre is considered to be dieing, is because Starcraft is such a huge thing that it overshadows all the other brilliant RTS games. Since Starcraft is quite an old game, relatively speaking, it would seem the RTS industry has halted with creating new innovative games.

I'm looking forward to Red Alert 4, but at the same time I'm not getting my hopes too high. Triple A games are pretty terrible these days... but who knows, it might turn out to be good...
...it will most likely suck though...

However, I'm really hyped for Planetary Annihilation. I was a big Total Annihilation player back in the days and played Supreme Commander for quite a while. Supreme Commander 2 was a big let down though.

Planetary annihilation is gonna be great. What are some of your hopes for the game?

So far they are going in the right direction. My only real hope is they don't fuck this up. They did say they wanted to have multiple planets per map wich is gonna be hard to pull off.
