i think starcraft 2 has the edge on that. technically though it cant match dawn of war 2 or empire total war but still i love the artistic design of sc2.

RA3 looks great on Water, but crap on Land.

SC 2 looks great overall.

This year isn't looking that spectacular for RTSs.

Oh, another generic Command and Conquer Rehash, but by EA and their lack of ability to balance RTSs at all!

Also, a mediocre-looking 2-race console RTS made by fallen devs? No thanks. (Halo Wars)

I thought I'd be certainly choosing Red Alert 3 - but then I looked at the provided screenshots. I figured that no RTS could lose to Starcraft 2 graphically, but boy was I wrong.

Halo Wars is releasing next year. ;)

Personally though, I think it looks quite fun. Nothing amazing, granted, but fun.

Link?

Oh and if that's true, I wonder how well it'll do with RTS awards against Dawn of War II, Stacraft II (Maybe) and Empire: Total War. Perhaps the instant-gratification idiots at Gametrailers will call it the best RTS ever created or something, but if it gets Strategy Game of the Year here (highly unlikely, Halo series is very highly rated here but in terms of awards, it isn't so lucky), then the site will have definitely gone to hell.

The Ensemble representative stated he's obligated to say "the first half of next year" in the E3 Stage Demo video available here on gamespot. He says it at roughly 14:35.

I fear that RA3 is just starting to creep into almost space like territory with some of its units and visuals and that it will lose the militarism of the other games!! Who knows though...

Starcraft 2. Like I said in your previous thread, Red Alert 3 is nothing more than a minor graphical update from C&C3.

Yes, many of us fear the same. RA2 already brought a slightly more far-fetched tone to the franchise over RA1, and I think they got it just right. But now... Seriously, any one of the units I look at now makes me think "That looks like it could be an action figure." As in, it actually looks like an RTS pitting toys against one another. They don't just remind me of toys, they literally look as though you could change the storyline to be a bunch of sentient toys in a war with each other, without changing any of those unit models, and it would fit, perfectly.

Oh and SC 2 looks better.

If you wanted me to compare them graphically, I would say they are pretty equal, except for one aspect. The buildings and structures in RA3 look really gaudy. If it wasn't for that I would say they are pretty equal.

This Graphics FIASCO infected evan the RTS genre since when RTS's need Crysis kind graphics to beee good .... i didn't vote with either of them because if you want to talk about graphics well Dawn of War 2 beats the crap out of both games Graphic & gameplay wise !

& STARCRAFT 2 after 11 years is the same deal only in 3D ....at least Red Alert 3 is different in gameplay than Tiberium Wars EALA embraces a part of evolution not just graphicaly speaking !

It took 8 years for an RTS to come out that is considered by many to better or equal to StarCraft, its formula is certainly not outdated and allows for a lot of fun and tactical felxibility.

Starcraft II, only the water on Red Alert 3 looks good.
