Over at Gamespot UK they spoke with Westwood's Harvard Bonin about the recently gone gold Red Alert 2 and the squids that are in it[BLOCK]The whole squid thing came about because one of the designers mentioned it, and we kind of laughed it off - "Yeah, that's pretty funny. Go back to work" - then we all thought about it and realised how much fun it would be to have them. To have them drag the ships down. Those pesky Soviets were always into weird mind control anyway, so maybe they would do it. Compared with the first Red Alert, we certainly went further in terms of the weird technology. But I doubt that we'll end up going much further with it, in terms of extremeness. It's still a tank game.[/BLOCK]
