How about hiring some fucking talent and get a proper 2008 C&C game instead of just updating textures and models since fucking ~10 years. Fucking Popcap games have deeper game mechanics as this piece of shit. The only thing you can do from year to year, is making the units bigger and bigger, yet the camera distance stays the same, 2 years down the road, we'll only see one unit with (10 polygons and a texture made in Paintbrush) on screen at a time, really the true successor of the RTS genere.
Take a look at Relic, Massive and fucking copy their work as you like to do with other games. The product would be 10 times better.

Other than that it looks... okay. I'll reserve my judgment until I get to play it.

Admittedly im saying this based on a single video, but spider bots? Robots? Tesla Coils on water? This is not Red Alert. I loved the game when it was kinda post WW2 - Cold War era and actually believable (even the time travel and iron curtain didnt bother me).
Things started to go tits up with the second C+C game in each universe, although Tiberian Sun was at least playable. Red Alert 2 was a fucking joke though, weather machines? Mind control? WHAT?
And then you get the third in each universe, which (judging from Tiberium Wars and this video) are utter pap. The inclusion of the Hell March gave me tear of nostalgia there for moment, but then I realised "Wait, think about this, its EA.....OH YEAH THATS RIGHT". I can already predict this game being tolerable at best just like C+C3, which this what game basically is but in the Red Alert universe.
FUCK YOU EA. I gave you a chance with C+C 3 after the tripe that was Red Alert 2, but fuck you. I will never play another of these games while you own the rights. Fuck Red Alert 3 and fuck Red Alert 8 or however many you decide to make before it just becomes a shitty version of fucking Starcraft.

This looks awesome. RA2 was fantastic and I have my fingers crossed that this will also be fantastic. I mean look, they've got little Kremlin domes on the naval base. And there's Tesla everything. And "Kirov reportingk!"

Knowing EA, they wouldn't have features stripped off on one side of the spectrum, they'd just cut it out entirely...

I for one don't want gamemakers to just remake old games for the nostalgia crowd.

Do you remember the first C&C 3 trailers. Everything was so awesome. I'm afraid the same will happen to this game.

I mean the first one had time travel, invulnerability, Tesla coils, earthquake trucks, nuke trucks, tanyas it was hardly realistic at all. People need to chill out.
