Man Raised by Puffins tells us there’s a Stalin Vs. Martians trailer. There is. It’s beneath the cut.
Gosh.
I’ve gone well past the point where I care whether it’s any good or not. It doesn’t matter.

Other than a comatose framerate, the game looks quite entertaining. Stalin’s got moves
07/03/2009 at 11:05 Feet says:
…
07/03/2009 at 11:05 The Poisoned Sponge says:
Wow.
07/03/2009 at 11:07 Tei says:
Now… this one contains more in-game images that others teaser videos. I would download a demo of this game if contais this very music. ( The original command conquer let you choose what music to play, I hope we are not going downhill in the RTS genre)

I’m coming to your house…
SOON
07/03/2009 at 11:18 Nuyan says:
I know what I want and I want it… NOW!
( Awesome trailer, amazing creatures, I hope the clumsy framerate was an attempt to synch it with the music though. )
07/03/2009 at 11:19 Andrew Dunn says:
Incredible.
07/03/2009 at 11:23 Dorian Cornelius Jasper says:
Springtime for Stalin.
07/03/2009 at 11:29 the probe says:
I’m going to try some of those moves out next time I hit the club.
07/03/2009 at 11:36 The Hammer says:
That made me silently giggle like an idiot on a late Saturday morning. Everything about that was hilarious. I bet real Stalin wouldn’t like that oneeee bit!
07/03/2009 at 11:42 l1ddl3monkey says:
Wat?
07/03/2009 at 11:43 Ceremony says:
Pushing the envelope
07/03/2009 at 11:45 chaves says:
Russian big shots really like to dance, right?
07/03/2009 at 11:49 phuzz says:
Stalin’s Gulag Dance Party!
07/03/2009 at 11:54 Dolphan says:
Am I still asleep?
07/03/2009 at 11:55 Bilharzia says:
I want to play it, I really do, but I can’t. I feel genuinely bad for passing on what will no doubt be an outstanding gaming experience (based on the number and degree of positive reactions I’ve encountered), particuarly as it’s a game in danger of being overlooked, due to the other, excellent, more widely known RTS’s being released at the same time.
I even have a great deal of interest in the time period (I’m clearly not alone, or even unique in that), and reguarly read some of the more interesting commentary and other factual writings on the subject.
That all doesn’t matter though. I just…can’t. Not another WW2 Stalinist Martian game.
07/03/2009 at 12:06 Flint says:
This is the most beautiful thing ever.
The game better have its cutscenes/mission briefings/whatever in a similar style.
07/03/2009 at 12:10 £=D-T=£££ says:
…I think I might as well just apologise for writing the original version of that comment. I seem to have unintentionally, really annoyed some people.
07/03/2009 at 12:12 Tworak says:
Stalin is awesome.
07/03/2009 at 16:28 oddbob says:
1:08 is most incredible. I never knew Stalin had it in him.
What a fox.
07/03/2009 at 16:32 Marco Almeida says:
I usually don’t comment in here (don’t ask why, I don’t know either), but this time I had to do it because Stalin rocked my world! :P
Besides that… the game looks kinda lame :\
07/03/2009 at 16:48 Willem says:
Dance Dance Revolution!
07/03/2009 at 16:55 N says:
my testicles tremble with anticipation
07/03/2009 at 17:09 Spd from Russia says:
what a crying shame
both the looks and the concept
07/03/2009 at 17:43 chipp says:
Now this is a good trailer :D
07/03/2009 at 17:44 Lord_Mordja says:
Stalin was a fun guy to just hang around with.
07/03/2009 at 17:45 Nero says:
One the most epic trailers I’ve ever seen.
07/03/2009 at 17:59 Ian says:
Oh my.
07/03/2009 at 18:29 OJ287 says:
The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one.
07/03/2009 at 18:38 Xercies says:
Man this trailer brings in a whole new level of weirdness and awesomeness combined.
07/03/2009 at 18:46 DMJ says:
I think I dreamed this last night.
07/03/2009 at 19:09 Z says:
“Ula!”?
07/03/2009 at 19:56 Haroshi says:
command and conquer on mescaline?
07/03/2009 at 20:08 A-Scale says:
Everyone thought that. Everyone but Stalin, that is.
ALL BOW TO THE DANCING SAVIOR!
07/03/2009 at 21:00 Taillefer says:
“There will come a time when my work shall not be subject to this Stalinesque censorship. Then I know exactly what I’m going to do…”
07/03/2009 at 21:53 Still annoyed says:
“Stalin was a fun guy to just hang around with.”
Until he got convinced you were a traitor and had you killed.
07/03/2009 at 22:59 Terr says:
Did I see the Little Green Men from Toy Story 2 there? I never imagined they would try to invade Soviet Russia.
But what is it with the framerate? I really do hope for the developer’s sake that it was a result of running Fraps or something.
07/03/2009 at 23:19 Cabbs says:
War Of The Worlds could have been so very, very different.
07/03/2009 at 23:22 Muzman says:
There’s great dance move there where it looks like a whole bunch of cockroaches ran up his sleeves.
So we’ve got dancing Stalin now. Elsewhere tiptoeing tanks and bazooka air guitar.
Is Russia just completely mad these days?
07/03/2009 at 23:35 Cooper42 says:
WANT
07/03/2009 at 23:42 BlackDingo says:
Must…buy…silly…game….
I just HAVE to own this game. I also want to know HOW much vodka was consumed in its creation. Seriously. :D
08/03/2009 at 00:54 Aftershock says:
This is a must purchase, purely due to the trailer.
08/03/2009 at 01:41 Rei Onryou says:
DO WANT.
08/03/2009 at 01:48 Oak says:
I am going to buy this game a hundred times.
08/03/2009 at 03:01 BeamSplashX says:
Dawn of War III had better step it up… LITERALLY.
08/03/2009 at 06:29 BlackDingo says:
LOLS! @ BeamSplashX
Dance, Dance Force Commander! Or perhaps Disco Farseer!
08/03/2009 at 08:55 pewpew says:
my girlfriend cheated on me today.
this made up for it.
08/03/2009 at 12:17 Jason Moyer says:
The wallpaper images on the official site are possibly more ridiculous than the trailer is. And the game concept sounds incredibly awesome.
08/03/2009 at 14:14 Pijama says:
There is one thing only that can be said here:
Take that, Red Alert 3 devs.
08/03/2009 at 17:35 Neoviper says:
I only hope the in-game stalin has these moves. Apparently there will be a stalin unit who is fifty feet tall, just like in real life!
08/03/2009 at 18:30 Matt says:
Is there anything Russian dev studios can’t achieve?
@Pijama: I was thinking similar things. Against this trailer, RA3 is but a child.
08/03/2009 at 21:26 Baris says:
Holy Shizzle McDizzle, I am so moving to Russia once I get my degree.
08/03/2009 at 21:28 Rogue says:
And that’s why they call it a Communist party!
08/03/2009 at 22:15 Larington says:
@pewpew: Ouch.
Ontopic: Yeah, think they’ve been inspired by Red Alert 3 here. I don’t mind, at all.
09/03/2009 at 23:08 DMcCool says:
!!!!!!!!!ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!
Stalin’s dance animations are the same ones used by the dancers in Morrowind. I’m so, so, very scared.
10/03/2009 at 12:04 Bhazor says:
This video created a strange feeling inside of my brain and body.
It’s going to be dreadful. I’m not going to care.
Be interesting to see whether there’s enough quirk here to pull a Kings Bounty.
11/03/2009 at 00:09 COOL says:
THIS WAS REALLY FUNNY, I ALMOST DIED
05/04/2009 at 18:51 VNIMANIE, KOMRADES! says:
STALIN IS WATCHING YOU. IF YOU DON”T BUY THIS GAME, HE WILL PWN YOU WITH HIS COOL DANCING MOVES
