EndWar – Voice Command Brief

By Nick De Bruyne
September 19, 2008
in :  Gaming

Tom Clancy's EndWar is the first game that is offering the ability to control your armies with the use of voice command. While I have been let down in the past with voice command features, EndWar looks like it's actually going to pull it off. This video gives us a good idea of how the voice command system works and how the interface functions. The idea of controlling armies that have Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six squads in them is already enough to get me to sit up and pay attention but add a flawless voice command system and we may have the future of console RTS gaming staring us right in the face. "Alpha Unit, make me coffee!"

You would think that we had run out of things to say about LBP by now, but lo and behold we are still discovering new and wonderful features all the time. So what does Facebook have to do with any of this? Basically what happens is that when there are photos of your character, people will be able to tag you on the images just like on Facebook. This will allow you to then see that person's levels, favorites etc. Here is the official explanation of the new feature explained by Alex Evans, co-founder of Media Molecule: "You'll have feeds of photos of you -- levels that you've been in, photos people have taken of you. Then we take it even further, like Facebook. In any photos we know what kind of Sackboys were in it, who they were logged in as, so we put a box around their face which you can click and go and see that person. So if there's a cool level with a guy wearing an awesome costume, you just D-pad up to him and hit X, and now you can see his levels, his favorites." Anyone willing to send me a free Playstation 3, please contact me urgently. I need to play this game when it comes out, mmmkay thanks.

New Prince of Persia Release Date Confirmed

The new Prince of Persia has been gathering a lot of interest since it's announcement. While fans of the series will obviously be excited for it's release, newcomers are even finding it easy to cast an eyeball at the screenshots and news stories that we have been seeing of late. The reason for this is that the game is looking incredibly pretty now that the developers have opted for a visually intriguing cell-shaded style. The good news is that today Ubisoft confirmed that Prince of Persia will be on shelves and available for purchase on the 5th of December for the PS3, Xbox 360 and believe it or not, the Nintendo DS. Just in time for all the Christmas grannies to pick it up for their grandchildren. It's not only about the graphics though, the new title will also be featuring a new combat system and an open-world layout. Looking good Prince... looking good.

Mirror's Edge Demo Delayed

Some confusion on the internet has led to many gaming news websites announcing that the Mirror's Edge demo would become available on September 26. Unfortunately, anyone who was looking forward to some daredevil rooftop shenanigans will have to wait a little longer because EA has confirmed that the demo will in fact, not be available on said date, saying: "The demo will be out prior to launch (no official date yet) and the pre-order begins Sept 26". So while pre-orders will start on the 26th, no official date for the demo's availability has been set. Be sure that when a date is announced we will have the story.

By Werner Dohse Science of Evil? It’s more like Science of Boredom. This is hands down the most boring-est (yes… I had to create a word to express my true feelings) game I have played in a long time. I even found myself thinking that I should go wash my car, rather than playing (a chore I might add that …

NFS Undercover Gameplay Footage (PS3) – Different Enough?

By Nick De Bruyne

The first time that you see gameplay of an upcoming game you can mostly see what the game is going to play like. After all of the cinematic movie trailers we have seen, we finally get to take a look at the actual gameplay for the first time. So then, what do you guys think? Have EA done enough to push the series in the right direction or does it look like they are just falling back onto whatever sold well? I am happy that they have moved away from the Pro Street idea, but I have to admit that this video absolutely reeks of Most Wanted in every way. I guess that now it will all be up to the way that they approach the campaign mode and how it will all play out.

Comments Off on Uwe Boll makes something new

On the good side it appears that Uwe might have finally realised that he can’t make movies… but on the bad side it seems that he is now going to try and make games. Here is a trailer of Uwe Boll’s new game, Tunnel Rats. It looks pretty awful to me but I may be blinded by my dislike of …

Comments Off on Retailers expect to shift tons of 360’s

Yeah it doesn’t directly apply to SA as we didn’t get the latest round of price cuts but the English retailers are all currently rubbing their hands with glee. After the latest Xbox 360 price cut they are all unanimously agreeing that it is now priced perfectly and they are expecting a huge surge in sales in the lead up …
