Transcript:
1945 marked the end of a grueling world war and saw the Allies triumph over the Axis powers at the cost of millions of lives. The downfall of the Nazi regime wouldn't change that, but one man believed could; Albert Einstein.
Einstein's brilliant work in the field of physics eventually led him to create the world's first nuclear bombs which, regrettably, resulted in the deaths of thousands. But his work also led to the birth of Quantum Physics and the ability to manipulate a tear in the fabric of space and time, effectively inventing time-travel. After many years of research and experimentation, Einstein finally built a time machine which he named the ChronoSphere and put into motion a plan he hid from his superiors.
Einstein executed the final phases of the ChronoSphere in 1949 and sent himself back in time to Landsberg, Germany 1924; the only confirmed account of Hitler's whereabouts before his rise to power. With a single handshake, the Fuhrer-to-be inexplicably vanished from the timeline and Einstein was returned to the present. However, in devising an alternate reality, Einstein had unwittingly created an even more ruthless dictator in Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union. With Nazi Germany out of the way, Stalin was free to conquer nearly all of Europe, igniting "The Great World War II." Now embroiled in a more devastating war than Einstein could have imagined, it's up the the Allied forces to take back Europe from the Soviet Union and prevent the rise of a tyrant hellbent on global conquest.
Have fun!

"He who controls the past commands the future, He who commands the future, conquers the past."
- Kane
That is a copy from another quote made by george orwell
"He who controls the past, controls the future. He who controls the present, controls the past"
Pity that we never saw Kane again in the red alert saga
@@emttheindon3597 aye
No it's He Commands the Past he Conquers the future that's why it's called Command Conquer
Spoiler alert... and then Soviets loose the war and use the time machine to go back and do the same thing to Einstein which causes that Japan becomes a powerful nation...
And that's how Red Alert 3 started.
Bullshit this franchise is so full of inaccurate alternate historical bullshit that it makes Miley Sirus look clean!
Joseph Stalin Lighten up dude, it's just a fantasy game.
*****
The lose the war in RA1, in RA2 they try again but get defeated again. In the end of RA2 (probably after Yuri's Revenge) they go back in time to kill Einstein. Thus starting RA3.
Zack Edwards You're my fantasy game
I always loved the opening cinematic.
"...Time will tell, time will tell."
OHHHH WHO KNOWS WHAT NIGHTMARES WE'RE CREATED?
From ra3 intro
Time will tell. Sooner or later, time will tell.
0:23 remember kids, SCIENCE makes you high
DRUNK SCIEN- oh wait.
Ironic since Einstein mentioned that he though time travel was impossible and insane.
He obviously said that to cover up his secret project.
Racer 64 Good point.
Different Einstein Different timeline universe
R.I.P Westwood. (I was having nostagia here)
Gone, but not forgotten.
Well in a turn of good news, now you can play the Remastered Version of C&C: Red Alert on Steam.
Albert Einstein, theoretical scientist?
Fuck that, time machines and Hitler xD
Can I go back in time and destroy EA?
no kill those who create ending of Mass Effect3
Didn't you pay attention to this video? If EA is destroyed in the past, Activision will grow even more powerful, expanding its ruthless regime over many other game franchises!
Tiber Septim change one thing,change everything
Tiber Septim destroying EA and activison grew stronger and also no tiberium wars and no kane wrath etheir and C&C community fall apart. no matter how much bad you wanted to removed EA it will only get worst and worst.
Kyle Nguyen Hitler < EA
Quite possibly the only good thing, if indirect, the Wehrmacht did was make sure Stalin couldn't bring the Soviet Union to the power of Red Alert.
Now go make Red Alert 2 Lore.
You know what? Why not the whole Red Alert line.
madcat789 Old God.... WORLD OF WARCRAFT!!!!
And then yuri's revenge no w8 YURIS REVENGE 1ST ITS AWSOME AS FUCKING BEING GOD you can be yuri in smirkish from red alert 2
yuris revenge is a expansion for red alert 2
still awsome still lots of spys and dogys and the new cloning machine
and yuri and yuri prime i like to steal enemy's team money with spys
why am i still typing this.
Welp
we need a .gif of 0:23 to 0:24...
because science.
Oh damn, there's actually a bot on reddit that does this for you. I don't remember how you call it to do it though.
YEAS, Awesome gif idea!
***** better than aaron's gif
enderninja619 thank you
That one moment you can say "dang it Einstein, don't be so dumb"
Well, if you want to say it more often, you can read about Einstein's theories of quantum physics, many of which were wrong. You could also laugh at Stephen Hawking for making a Black Hole theory that failed to account for something you probably learned in your first week of chemistry, mass in=mass out (which is in actuality information in=information out.)
I can still hear them:
-Conscript reporting!
-DA!
-For Mother Russia!
YURI IS MASTER.
DeMishMIsh Nice =)
DeMishMIsh
"My command is your wish!"
"Predictable"
the voices! IN MY HEAD!
But that is in the second game xd
RIP Total Biscuit...
Hearing TotalBiscuit's voice after all these years really brings back good memories :')
Baine lives in death!
Or.. you know.. He could just go back in time to a point before he decides to go back in time and stop himself from going back in time there fore he doesnt stop hitler.
You know.. wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff..
hehehe. was never really fond of time travel stuff, in general.
'cept for Farscape. I think the whole time travel thingy in Farscape worked quite well for that series. :D
would be nice if they did revitalize the Red Alert series, tho', w/ more stuff and more factions. I'd love some Prussians, Imperial Brits, the French, the Chinese (pre-Communist, I guess?) and some other factions thrown in to the mix somehow ...Oh, and cheesy live-action acting. Other than the gameplay, that's one of the big draws of that series for me (and I've played most, if not all, of the C&C games lol) :D
If you watched Doctor Who you would understand that is a no-no. :P
Lookoutitsdomke
Oh hush now.. I love Doctor Who but the whole "paradox" excuse is now retarded.. I noticed that the 11th Doctor did that a lot. So did Amy.
BelieveInFiction10 Exactly, didn't any of them watch Back to the Future? Just mess with history until you get the results you want.
In fact, all you amount to do is creating different dimensions. You could however choce to live in the dimension you feel most "right", if you get rid of yourself first so no one will see there's two of you :>
Wait, didn't Einstein go back in time in 1946, not 1949? Just going by what the game cutscenes showed anyway.
I have to say I'm impressed that you actually used Red Alert music other than Hell march. Don't get me wrong hell march is a great theme but it's nice to use lesser known Red Alert themes such as "Gloom"@1:14; I remember it from the aftermath expansion for Red Alert :)
Oh Albert, what a silly young man.
it's funny cause he's old
***** It's always a matter of time.
Well, you know, everything's relative.
best cnc ever
RA2 was the best ever
Paul Staker both were very good
Paul Staker I love all the C&Cs.
Paul Staker +1
EmperorRahem undoubtedly
They need to make Red Alert 4...
Plot: After the Uprising The Allies get distracted about the news of Rupert Thornley and his Sigma Harmonizer also about Yuriko's rampage on the cryo prison They don't know what to do regarding bringing peace and capitalism throughout the world pulling forces investigating and defending there homefront in case of future threats.
As the Empire slips in rejuvenate the armies of the Rising Sun, Tatsu discovered the lab destroyed by Yuriko only to find out some of the hidden Yuriko clones survived the destruction. Unknowing to her as she get back to the destroyed lab she felt displeased and wants to destroy the clones but Tatsu saw her she tells about her pain that she went though during the war. Tatsu sympathize her and she granted her a new life Yuriko confesses his love for Tatsu and to his surprise he agrees to be his wife. The Yuriko clones are not destroyed coz Tatsu granted her full control of the clones and a new lab was rebuilt. Visiting Oki Island Emperor Yoshiro who thought to be dead is alive and he faked his death much to both his son and Yuriko shocked Yoshiro walks toward his son and tell him that there is no Divine Destiny he envisioned and it was all the Soviet work for the Empire to rise and so he passed the Shogunate leadership and his title of Emperor to Tatsu. Yuriko wanted to be his wife and tells her pain and his father agrees. Together they will rebuild the new and rejuvenated Empire.
The Soviet retrieval force are sent in to rescue Cherdenko and Krukov only to see Krukov survived and lie to the Soviets that Cherdenko was killed by the Allies (In truth he killed the frozen Cherdenko by jealousy with a pistol) Krukov now back to the motherland and now the new Premier and tells his lies to the people but most importantly the Soviet Union will rise again.
In the Middle East the army and militia are sick of the tyranny of both the Allies and the Soviets and they are aware of the feared technology of the Empire. But they discovered an Alien Crystal and an Unknown Battleship full of the technology buried in there lands. Former Soviet scientists, defected Allied scientist, scientist of the Middle East and Thornley's escaped men and Thornley himself researched it's technology to it's full potential but Thornley dies before he can tell the world by the hands of the people. They gather it and use it for their own purposes. The Middle Eastern leaders aware of there discovery and they hide it from the tyranny's eyes and ears. The army became mercenaries in secret created mercenary camps to earn money for there homeland across the world. But not only that they also raiding and pillaging the EU and the Soviets supplies and stealing there vehicles, tanks, and even aircraft they also do this to Asian countries including China and Japan as well. Due to this the Allies and Soviets blamed at each other but they will not engage war until they are at full power.
Year 2000 and the Soviet War Machine was revived once again are going set march on their full scale invasion against the Allies but as they gonna set foot on Allied lands the Allies had a surprise air raid in the Soviets. Not only that the FutureTech Lab and Amsterdam are under attack by the Empire. the Soviets take control of China against the Empire as most of the Chinese people support Communism while some Chinese don't still support the Empire. The Shogun Executioner sets foot on Middle Eastern territory only do be destroyed by terrorists, militia, stolen desolators, car bombs, bomb trucks, angry mobs, and powerful infantry divisions. All 3 factions forces set foot in the Middle East only to be also destroyed great ambush and by them there forces destroyed, hijacked, savaged, as the new enemy rises from the ground, surprising all 3 forces. As the Middle East shows there army with the warning just like The Empire did in RA3. And now a new world war rises! Who invades who? who will win who will fall?
I think for my opinion of red alert 4 plot, Nazi germany rises and teams up the japan and the Soviets and allies teamed up together to fight the Nazis and japan
Yuriko's Revenge
ea could ruin that, the with the others.
Got here just by chance. Miss you TB!
This has to be one of my favorite LORE vids!! XD i havent played the original RA in SSOOO long!! Probably have it somewhere :P
OBJECTION! According to Red Alert lore, the Albert Einstien that erased Hitler ended up in his timestream unalttered. It simply created a new timeline.
Glad to see C&C wasn't missed out! ^_^
Red alert theme track = Best theme ever.
Don’t forget sc terran 1
True
7 year old comment and still true
call of duty world at war - black cats ost
Dammit Einstein.
i believe we should have the lore... of LORE
Everyone is going on about Einstein and it is pretty cool but I am more psyched that a character from Chrono Trigger was used for a brief second.
TotalBiscuit needs to do more Lore !
I know it's nitpicking, but when talking about WW2 you should maybe also use WW2 borders.
So...Generals coming up?
My friend tried the beta of that and he said it was totally shit and they fucked it up. He tends to like the same sort of RTS as me so I am inclined to believe it's shit, Bare in mind the Generals team is not the same as the first team maybe a couple of them are but most CnC teams change almost all the time and Generals 2 is free so there budget would be pants.
HeeroYuy911 CnC generals 2 has been scraped at last call. cancelled, blown to pieces and shipped out :(
Tyler Williams damn, i loved Generals and Zero Hour...... please tell me there are still some servers up for them.... im feeling nostalgic
jeb jeter I'm sure you can get games in, but I have the nagging feeling they cut it off from the full release. Only pirate and the .....some program for file sharing, name eludes me atm. Loved Zero hour too man, those chinooks with 2 snipers 2 rocketeers and an extra was beast xD
Tyler Williams yeah, i hope there are still some servers up, ill check it out tomarrow
You had one job einstein!
I'm sure there's a reason for this, but why didn't he just do the same thing again?
he probably didn't want to possibly screw things up even more
No matter what he does WWII cannot be prevented because the fundamental social forces that pushed to that conclusion cannot be resolved with the death of one person.
Also Spoiler Alert!
Kain (Yes the one from Command and Conquer) is actually the true instigator behind the war and seeing as he cannot die and is able to hide his existence so well, NO ONE is able to Chrono Kill him due to not having any confirmed time/location.
If he'd travel back in time to keep himself from killing hitler he'd create a time paradox.
Then again, the time travel in this is pretty silly anyway xD
Gollvieg
sowjet ending was neat - though I liked Stavros in the allied ending better >:3
LeonSylon he meant go back and kill Stalin like he did with Hitler
So, in this alternate timeline, Churchill's "Operation: Unthinkable" is a reality... Interesting.
GODDAMNIT ALBERT!
Einstein's the reason we can't have nice things! X(
RA2 and Yuri's Revenge, still my favorite RTS campaigns of all time ^_^
Golden Sun Lore!
Yeah, the people demand Golden Sun!
Rest in peace TB
Forgot to add that you can choose to help comrade Stalin destroy the filthy allies as well ;)
RIP TB.
Suddenly you hear total biscuit did not expect that
Hello there total biscuit!
So, the lore behind this game is the same every modern FPS...
Gaming hasn't changed at all.
Not really. RA2 on the other hand....
Yup. All modern day FPS games involve Einstein and time travel.
Implying that a game with russians as the enemy is always the same.
I have heard of few modern fps' have such a reasonable reason for an evil Russia, you know like Stalin and the Soviet Union.
Gaming... Gaming never changes...
"have fun, commander" line really makes this video
I was pretty impatient when I played C&C as a kid so the main thing I remember is "Unable to comply, building in progress. Unable to comply, building in progress. Unable to comply, building in progress."
Can you do a Awesomenauts lore, maybe some day?
Please! do C&C Generals!
Generals did not have any story. It is simply U.S.A attacking every country in middle east.
@@mossfoobar8322
It actually has a story.
In fact, it was first planned that C&C red alert, C&C generals, and C&C Tiberium wars would all take place in the very same universe, in that chronological order, but that idea was abandoned and the 3 game series are now separate universes... For now
We miss you Total Biscuit
god dang it Albert! you did a Back to the future and look what you've done you made would war II worse!
No old Hell March music from the First Red Alert game for the intro or Outro huh?
RIP TotalBiscuit
(FYI, He has passed away recently)
Eintstein messed up
Nerds, man. Can't live with them, can't have world wars without them.
Command and Conquer Generals next? :D
One key point missing: Einstein went back to his own time, with no change to his own history. The removal of Hitler created a second reality in which the first Einstein never got to see
Red Alert 3 has a pretty bitchin' soundtrack.
I hope they remaster this.
Very late but you got your wish.
Yes, good old RA soundtrack !!
This gives a whole new meaning to the saying: "Nice work, Einstein...."
Ah totalbiscuit your speech makes this just more epic
Do Red Alert 2!
and yuri's revenge
Trash alert 3
Why so much hate against Red Alert 3 ? pls explain
Red alert 3 is a dumb game
lol but quantum physics doesn't let you do stuff like that... it just helps you guess where electrons are....
Well russians do not have attack bears as a part of regular army, didn't really stop them in that =D
Lyubimov89 But in case of war all bears will be conscripted.
Александр Уральский damn, way to leak info on our secret weapon, man!
Lyubimov89 We do not need a weapon, comrade. Haven't you heard that Obama is a communist?
Александр Уральский I heard he was Socialist :P
When any of you look at the sheer idiocy and failure that is EA's butchery of Westwood's creation in "Red Alert 3", you just remember THIS is the awesome premise they managed to fuck up.
YAY! terminal montage again!
It was at this moment Albert knew, he fucked up
Dat sweet totalbiscuit voice, cant get enough
0:22 can someone make a .gif of that please?
Something tells me Einstein would have been clever enough to of at least gotten Stalin out of the way to or infact get rid of Stalin and leave Hitler as he wasn't as ruthless as Stalin. SILLY EINSTEIN!
Was waiting for TB to voice this, knew it would be him!
Hey that's a pretty interesting story actually!
used to play RA2 and loved it, never knew the back story tho
thanks! :D
hellz yeah TB!
I like how the entire plot is just "Fuckin' Einstein nosey bastard fucker"
RIP Tb and Westwood
PlayStation users... spam...
Circle, X, Circle, Triangle, Square, Triangle
the story is really shitty
Games once was games, and not interactive movies. Who cares of weak story when gameplay is awesome!
Now 2 and 3 please, Generals would be awesome too
TB was the perfect voice for this!
No Hell March?
history in all of its entirety, is mine to command and conquer
WOOOOO MORE
The last three words was perfection!
Well i guess this means there is going to be a red alert 2 and 3 lore cause i did not hear anything about yuri or the rising dawn and they are rather important in their respective games
Quantom Physics = Einsteins LSD :P
You missed the bit (With some really weird looking dude advising him) in reference to the fact the Kane (of C&C) is in fact one of Stalins advisers
Nice Lucca cameo
YES RED ALERT 2 is my fave strategy game
That brings back some nostalgia. Red alert has an interesting story back then.
Red Alert was such a good game at the time
totalbiscuits name is pasted everywhere and people are still like "hey is that totalbiscuit?"
I remember that opening cut scene now! I was a lot younger and I had no idea what the hell was going on in it. That actually cleared up a lot.
00:28 Lucca.
Was hoping to hear the full lore from all 3 Red Alerts, damn...
RIP TotalBiscuit
awesome TB voicing, plz ask him to also do RA2 and (for the fun of it) RA3 lore
First seconds and I was like: IS THAT TB!?!
Awesome draws!
Thank you lore you made my day
"I will mess with time."
Great lore
Why didn't he just go back and get rid of Stalin too?
he wouldn't still have the time machine
Because you hardly ever see anyone use the logic they invent in thier fiction use it to the fullest. Why that is, kinda beats me, except in cases where using the logic excessively would lead to the entire premise being thrown put the window, if there was no evil guy to fight, how would we have a game where you fight with your units?
Because Stalin was too well protected. Einstein know where Hitler was when he erased him, and that was after Hitler came out of the prison. But Stalin was deep in the Russia, and they can't point at him. That why they instead use Chronosphere for teleportation. And because plot say so of course.
"Oh, I killed Hitler and someone even worse came along. I BET IF I KILL HIM THAT'LL BE THE SOLUTION TO ALL OUR PROBLEMS."
