  • Red Alert had a pretty bonkers story. And since it's alternate history, and was a major influence on me as a kid, I'm gonna talk about it. Pretty badly.

    If you think about it, this game is actually a kind of existentialist horror. The moment time travel gets invented, the war becomes non-linear in time, meaning it can never truly end because any defeat can be undone, and an attack can be staged at any point in time before or after hostilities have "ended" in any given timeline.

      As far as the 'people' are concerned, I'm fairly sure they wouldn't feel the change. Some are literally unborn while others are entirely altered by history.
      What is certain however, is that time will be utterly destroyed once the first jump is made. There will be more time as the future loses its meaning by becoming tangible.
      So yeah, you're point is made and I'll add that time travel no matter how small will screw us all.

    • @nerezza5505
      @nerezza5505 ปีที่แล้ว +73

      Theres actually a really crazy and cool game called Achron which integrates time travel into a RTS. You can basically go back in time in the game to move units somewhere if you find yourself getting flanked in the present for example. The game updates temporal changes every few minutes, so you have time to counter any past moves made by your opponent. Its a really fun game thats hampered by poor development of every feature outside of the time travel mechanic, and the difficulty of understanding how it works.

      There's a book called This Is How You Lose The Time War where the two main characters are combatants on either sides of a war like the one you're describing. It's not a war book so to speak, but the descriptions of the workings of the war effort from both sides are fascinating. Highly reccomended.

      The Tiberium games were the first C&C games I played and I remember picking up the case and looking at the back and seeing the list of actors they had. Then I went home and saw the actors they had in the previous games like Red Alert and remember thinking “they really are shelling out money for big time actors to do the cheesiest cutscenes for a game?”
      They ruined celebrities in games for me like Kevin Spacey in COD because C&C will always be the most memorable for how cheesy they were but also how much charm they added to the game.

    @stoogemoedude ปีที่แล้ว +82

    Let's all be honest with ourselves. Red alert 1 split into two timelines based on who won. Allies winning leads to the Red Alert series and the Soviets winning leads to the Tiberium series, with Kane making a cameo at the end of the Soviet Campaign. We can assume he brought Tiberium here and he dies or leaves the planet somehow in the Allies campaign.

    • @llSuperSnivyll
      @llSuperSnivyll 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      According to what was going to be the original C&3 (that is, before EA bought Westwood), the Soviet ending is completely non-canon. Both Red Alert 2 and Tiberian Dawn come from an Allied victory in Red Alert (Red Alert 2 is just an alternate timeline, caused by Yuri being flung into the past, not to mention that they are set in the 70s so Tiberium has yet to arrive).
      And it does make sense, because in the Soviet ending you have Nod controlling all of Europe through the Soviet Union and thus were the #1 world superpower, whereas in Tiberian Dawn they had to purchase most of their equipment.
