Hmm... Kind of a weak (and barely noticeable) jab at them if you ask me. But I'm sure that was intentional, probably to keep it "all in good fun."

Yeah. Like I said, pretty weak. All they did was poke at the fact that they're games about universes of galactic scales. Or at least, that's all I noticed them poking at.

It was pretty stupid, but I couldn't help but find it being delivered by an Englishman hilarious.

Aside from other things which annoy me about Red Alert 3, I see nothing that truly interests me. It looks hugely derivative. EA is dead to me. They and the games they publish don't exist to me.

I liked the other one where he talked about being allies with America, but 'please tone down on the carjacking.' hahaha

Wow, that's extremely subtle and they definitely didn't diss either of them.

That link isn't working.

Anyway, I've tried playing Command and Conquer games in the past, fully intending to get into them, but I never could. Starcraft is a far superior game in my opinion.

Edit: Link is working now.

Further edit: But that YouTube video is no longer available.

If they actually meant offense, they have no room. RA3 looks like a cartoony joke, and doesn't even deserve a place amoungst the likes of Starcraft 2 and Dawn of War 2. Although, somethings in SC2 look kindy cartoonish as well, but not nearly to the extent of RA3.

I don't like a lot of the artistic things they did with RA 3 beta, And this one looks a little generic, not to mention I have no real interest in playing co-op RTS single player, I like to take my time, and if they spent time working on 2 player co-op single player there might be a chance that the 1 player with AI just sucks a little bit more than it should.

Lots of games coming this year, I might skip it (pretty huge considering I LOVE C&C), also I don't think the videos really dissed SC 2 and DOW, just a general gaming jab.

I have been playing red alert 3 beta for long time now and its a good game but it still needs lots of balacning

somethings are just to overpowered in the start and 50% of games end with 3 min, this game is a rushers dream at the moment

Ah well, DOW2 will be better than both.

And then E:TW will kick all of their arses!

I'm sure the vids were all in good humour.

Agreed. SC2 isn't a competitor at the moment because RA3 will be on the market long before SC2. There's no reason to try and create market forces yet in ways that won't necessarily be a proactive approach to selling more copies. A good example of how its properly done was Battlefield: Bad Company's 3 snippet trailers that made fun of MGS4, Rainbow Six, and Gears of War - all hilarious, all in good fun, and gave plenty of good feelings.

Dawn of war 2 becuase it shows a huge change.

Star craft 2 the same game but with better graphics red alert same as usual.

And it funny to hear Americans to demand some one to speak properly when they think they speak English.

The guy speaking is a British character. That's part of the joke.

Personally I think that it is way too subtle to be considered a diss.
