Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge coming to XBLA
With a recent leaked list of achievements it has been revealed that Command & Conquer is coming to the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network with Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge.
Based on the achievements this is a port of the previously Windows only expansion Red Alert 3: Uprising. It too was only released digitally through EA's store and Direct2Drive. The game consists of 4 mini-campaigns of 3 to 4 levels each and a 50 level Commander's Challenge mode. The game also features plenty of HD video of the Commanders, so it will also likely be a very large file size when released.
The expansion however has no online play - it is entirely single player, and it looks like it will stay that way for the Xbox Live Arcade version. The game has been rated on the ESRB with mention of a PlayStation 3 version, so it is also coming to the PlayStation Network.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
