RE3 looks fun, but I hope they dont fuck up the story/Japan with the Empire of the Rising sun. Whats up with EA trying to be like Blizzard anyways? They've made the CnC games have 3 factions now instead of 2, as if trying to imitate Starcraft. It pisses me off a little. I liked the "good v. evil" of Nod against GDI, and throwing in the Scrin just set off the awesome tension between GDI's UN-inspired peacekeeping attempts and NOD's twisted propagandaist approach, and now I fear that the inclusion of a strange Japan is going to warp the campy "Eagle versus Bear", Cold-War nostalgic atmosphere of the RE series. I know that Japan was largely involved in World War II, where the series began, but look at the title. Red Alert. Red, while also the color of the Japanese flag's sun isn't normally associated with it.
Oh well, at least the explicit statement that RE3 wont be as fast and "build this specific sequence in this amount of time to win at breakneck speeds" as CnC3 was has me hopeful, as does the Naval dimension. SupCom did a similar principle, allowing the player to build underwater, but at a smaller scale this will be fun too, as it will negate traditional tank-rushing (thank god).
