. Story
In Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 Ultimate Edition the desperate
leadership of a doomed Soviet Union travels back in time to
change history and restore the glory of Mother Russia. But the
time travel mission goes awry, creating an alternate timeline
where technology has followed an entirely different evolution, a
new superpower has been thrust on to the world stage, and World
War III is raging. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the
East, making World War III a three-way struggle between the
Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire with armies fielding powerful
over-the-top weapons and technologies like tesla coils, Kirov war
blimps, massive samurai robots, armored bears, dolphins with
sonic weapons, floating island fortresses, and transforming
tanks.
Gameplay
In true Command & Conquer form, action in Red Alert 3 Ultimate
Edition is based on classic RTS gameplay. Through this players
align themselves with either the Allies, the Soviets or the
Empire of the Rising Sun, and proceed to establish bases, manage
collected resources from controlled territories and escalate
technology acquisition in order to eventually eliminate
battlefield rivals. Throughout the game players will utilize the
franchises familiar mechanism of churning out an array of
buildings, units and vehicles to facilitate this, but will also
be faced with a series of new variables. Some of these will come
in the form of new, powerful units like the Empire of the Rising
Sun's Sho Executioner, a giant mech wielding energy blades,
the armored attack bears of the Soviets and the sonic attack of
the Allies' dolphin ship, but there is also a change to the
game's terrain to consider. Now in addition to battle on, and
over land, players also have to be aware of the realities of
naval warfare, as combat is extended to the waters on their
borders.
Another aspect of RTS gameplay that Red Alert 3 Ultimate Edition
address is the need for superior control functionality. Too often
when a PC RTS game makes the leap to gaming consoles, shedding
keyboard and mouse functionality, players experience a reduced
ability to respond quickly to attacks via unit production and/or
changes to production. This is not the case in Red Alert 3
Ultimate Edition. Through its radial command menu, which utilizes
the DualShock 3's analog stick and the 'X' button, players can
execute commands with three button presses or less and can queue
up production of units to occur as resources are gathered to
supply them. In addition, commands to existing units on the
battlefield and your commanders are easily facilitated by
controller shortcuts, such as a single face buttons to
select/deselect all on screen units and another to direct their
movements, providing a fast way to make immediate field commands.
