TC's Endwar
« on: October 17, 2008, 12:35:11 pm »
Anyone else played the demo out on XBL? Its acctually very very good. The idea of playing an RTS at the "Speed of thought" Is quite well done overall. Super fast gameplay.

That looks pretty awesome but I don't have XBox live, and I can't imagine RTSing on a console.

RTS could only work on the Wii in my oppinion.

You'd both be wrong. It works amazingly well. It basically replaces the mouse with your voice and the keyboard... with your miiind. Its very well done, very straightforward and altogether very fun :D

Wait, they got voice control working up to a point where it can be used in rts games without gimping the speed immensely? And mindcontrol accurate enough to replace a keyboard? Why is the rest of the internet so extremely silent about this then?

And i would realy appreciate if they would just drop the "Tom Clancy"  from every single "near future" title. None of their recent games have anything to do with the guy's books. They also get major asshole points for releasing a novel based on a "bestseller" game that isn't out yet and it's not written by Tom Clancy either despite what the cover says.

A quick wikipedia reveals that the game is effectively running on the wii effect.
New control scheme = Good.
New control scheme attached onto something mediocre = HOW DARE YOU CRITISIZE OUR GREATNESS FOOLISH MORTAL.

Any pics of the headset? Is it anything like Emotiv's Epoc?

Seriously, this is a neat thought. Starcraft, but not only for the fast clicking koreans now  ;)

Well, its not based on any books, its actually completely fair in the legal stand point since Ubisoft acctually bought the Tom Clancy franchise. It has many many many aspects from other TC related games, such as the Ghost Recons being the main assault troops for the Americans... and quite a few other references.

They were given the rights to make a game based on one of his books, some 10 years ago. Because of a loophole in the law they still have rights to the guy's name and abuse it to this day. Infact, they could sue him for using their trademark now. Completely fair in legal standpoint =/= good. For example, i could register "Nilocy" as a trademark for my personal brand of dinner plates, due to be released in 2012 and sue you for using the same name.

Sadly, I already copyrighted it (Runs off to copy right it) But serious, Ubisoft did get the full rights a few months, maybe a year ago, to TC's complete brand, including the books, film spin offs etc.

But anyhoo, derailment warning!

This game is very good, shame I don't have the money to spare to buy it right now. Did I also mention that online is a persisitant territorial battle between the 3 nations? No. Then go have an orgasm or something and come back saying you now know.

Of course, that would be easy. 

"Braawk, build workers"
"Build Spawning Pool"
"B-cka build zerglings"
"Polly wanna rush"

The only challenge would be converting "^_______________^ kekeke" into speech.

I remain skeptical about a game dumbed down enough to be played by a parrot.
