PS3 to get 'Ultimate Edition' of Command & Conquer: Red Alert

PS3 to get Ultimate Edition of Command & Conquer: Red Alert


A few months ago, developers of the latest Command & Conquer game, revealed that the delayed PS3 version of the game would feature "really cool things" that take advantage of the "high-defness of Blu-Ray." Well, a listing on the EA Store reveals what those things will be.

Now dubbed the Ultimate Edition, the PS3 version will include a ton of new videos on the disc not found in previous versions. Find bloopers, behind the scenes, and developer strategy videos. There will also be brand new battleground maps. You'll be able to access the soundtrack from the game, and study with a built-in Unit Profiles video encyclopedia. To top it all, there's an exclusive HD version of a video feature, "Girls of RA3," which focuses on the women featured in the game.

With all this added content, the PS3 version of Red Alert indeed looks to be the ultimate version of the game. When this much content and effort is put into a port, we don't mind it coming a little later than on other platforms.
