Smooth operator: Tom Clancy’s EndWar to be fully voice-activated
Ubisoft dropped a couple of nuclear bombs about Tom Clancy‘s EndWar (PS3, 360) during the Ubidays conference. While dust is still settling from the apocalyptic mushroom clouds, the biggest confirmation we can clearly see is that the game gets full support for voice activation.
Yep. Turns out that the game – the console RTS game – can be played with a headset through and through. That’s going to save you a couple of wrestling bouts with the controller. After all, most people would insist (quite adamantly, in fact) that RTSes are made only for the PC with its keyboard and mouse support. And so, we’re guessing the voice-activated feature would prove useful for most. For those who really do want to hassle themselves with the controller, the option is still open – you can still play EndWar using a controller.
In the same press conference, Ubisoft also mentioned that the game will have a different camera scheme from that of other RTSes, and will be much like that of Madden – to quote EuroGamer: “looking over the shoulder of the player rather than at the head and back.” More than this, we’ve yet to hear more updates as EndWar is to be, as a lot of people speculate, taking the spotlight of the Ubidays center stage.
