Beta tested the PC version. I don’t understand why we cannot use the keyboard and mouse on the console version. I love RTS games but I like to have the keyboard and mouse. I was so excited about this game coming to the PS3. I was unable to use my keboard and mouse on the demo. If the PS3 is capable of connecting keyboard/mouse why can’t we use it on certain games?

I for one am very disappointed that the RA3 demo is still not available in the UK (and presumibly EU in general) yet the full version of the game is now available in the shops.

If EA is to blame, shame on you guys you’ve managed to anger a lot of fans with this.

If EA isn’t to blame and it’s down to PSN, then I hope EA is monitoring this blog posting for comments and gets on the phone to PSN right now and has a high level conversation about this rediculous failure.

Not being able to play the demo before buying the game is a showstopper for me, despite being a long term RA gamer for many years. I suspect many other fans are in the same situation.

man Sony you should have bought out Westwood way back then im so disappointed EA I swear they ruin everything I cant believe theres a unit cap the PS3 can handle hundreds of units at a time yet you can only have around fifty this is a port of the other console hopefully under siege will fix that all the old Red Alerts did not have a unit cap. i loved making big armies its too bad now that im not gonna bother buying it I hate to even say that im not getting it I swear its like my love for rts games is over!

1. don’t know
2. no, you get a lot of cool units, not all.
3. no, the demo only has singlplayer levels
4. you can be the allied and the soviets (there’s a construction yard you can capture below with engineer) but not the empire
5. the career and the tutorial. i highly recommend doing the tutorial. it’s pretty funny and makes the controls really easy to learn.
6. no the demo is fast and fun.
7. the game has multiplayer online, no spiltscreen unfortunately :( I’m very disappointed that the game doesn’t have splitscreen as well. Maybe they’ll make a patch adding it.

Also, the thing about the controls is. I don’t see how KB + Mouse could’ve been implented easily.

The entire control interface was completely changed and redone to work on the controller. It works really well like I said above. But you would basically have to redo all the graphical cues, and the whole control set up to have it work with a keyboard and mouse. That development time could be better spent on making some exclusive online modes for the PS3 like C&C 3 had, and porting over Uprising.

I am also curious to find out whether the game includes coop matchmaking or not. The 360 version didn’t. If not, it absolutely should be added via a patch of some sort.
