[PS3] Red Alert 3 sound and loading problems

how many people bought this game?

well.. goodbye everybody...

i'm addicted to warhawk again..

i'm gonna go play over there ----->

see y'all later

Btw a friend of mine got ra3 for the ps3 and this problem is really annoying... is a patch coming or what? Each time i see that executive's producer's face and the dev team partying for finishing and polishing the game i lol to death and say "wtf they seriouss?".

Well this bug has completely killed RA3 for me. I'll stay clear of C&C games in the future if this is the support you're going to show for the game. Good luck with that DLC. I hope not a single one buys it because you don't deserve any money from PS3 users. Not a single penny!

Why doesn't a programmer that was on the red alert 3 programming team come on here and explain how they messed up..

Is apt.pupil serious with his comment? 5.1 and 7.1 sound not working well on the PC is a dramatically different issue than surround not working on the PS3. AGAIN, MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FROM SONY FOR PS3 DISC BASED GAMES IS TO HAVE MANDATORY SURROUND SOUND AND A MINIMUM OF NATIVE 720P RESOLUTION. There is NOT mandatory design specs beyond what a publisher or developer wishes to implement on PC games. Different platform different rules. We're also talking about a game that has been released for a full $60 even though it has come out about half a year after the PC and 360 versions. The 360 version also does not have the sound bug. So yeah, calm down? What kind of BS is that apt.pupil? We get screwed on a full priced game that's released WAY late, so late in fact that such a GLARING BUG should have been PAINFULLY OBVIOUS. Elean has NOT confirmed that it's being looked at, it's just on a list of NON PRIORITY things to do by a development team that might very well have disbanded. RA3 on the PS3 was an obvious flop, nobody cared about it from the publisher and development side (which is obvious since they've released it with the sound bug, in other words, they probably ported it from the PC version, made sure it booted up, made sure the frame rate was ok, then just went gold with them without really seriously testing the *** thing). I've traded mines in a long while ago, took a $40 loss on the *** thing, this is still unacceptable. To be perfectly honest, all of the folks who have purchased the game should have really come together to report this to the better business bureaus and if enough of us worked together, we could have just sued them in which it would have easily turned into a settlement and probably would never have made it to court since it would just be way more expensive for EA.

is c&c4 going to come out on ps3... maybe we can play it in black and white

oh settle down.

at least you now have confirmation it is on the list to be fixed.

did you know that surround sound- whether it is 5.1 or 7.1 does not work well on pcs either(and i bet xboxes get it too).

No the xbox version doesn't get the problem.

I don't seem to have the sound problems but my gameplay is annoyingly slow on some maps as most of my gameplay speed is the same as Age of Empires 2. Either its my own PS3 thats at fault because it shouldn't be or the disc or EA are at fault.

original poster here...
so apparently this is still not fixed even after waiting for months and not playing the game in the hope that a patch would come and make RA3 fun to play.

This is a serious bummer to me as an age old CnC fan!

I will think hard about my next EA purchase!

So no more Activision and now no more EA... I'm sadly running out of alternatives...

and the part about normal users

This will reduce the sound quality to that of normal users, but sound working is better than sound not working.

come on you have to be kidding me.
its equivalent to saying the problem is in the HDMI output, just connect it to your TV via component/scart. This will reduce the video quality to that of normal users.
....
seriously.

For one a surround set up surely isnt an isolated thing in this day and age, especially in a well furnished lounge with a HD-TV and a PS3.
And its OK as a workaround for the first 2 weeks or so, but not for months on end. especially as i play and watch everything else with HD sound, and i cannot really be arsed to change my sound settings every time i feel like giving a hammer tank a spin.

i forgot i owned this game

yes its been that long

lol elearen is any update to this? i care because a rl friend donwloaded commanders challenge and this problem exists even there....

oh great bummer, was looking forward to getting the commanders challenge...

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

thats amazing that commanders challenge is broken too.... YOU PEEPS AT EA JUST DONT CARE!!!

amazing..

What still not fixed nice one EA great job.

Keep up the dodgy programming cant wait for the next NFS game either can it be worse then Shift.

When you going to make another Underground version.
