EndWar's Voice Recognition Gameplay Tested

Gameplayer has gone live with an exclusive look at Tom Clancy and Ubisoft's upcoming RTS EndWar following a trip to the company's Shanghai studio. It goes into detail on how the key voice recognition feature works and the gameplay experience.

"Calling all gunships, attack hostile three." It's as simple as that. Each unit, yours and the enemy's, is assigned a number automatically. The strategic points on each map all have letters, referred to by their cool radio call signs. "Red group, secure point Foxtrot." More specific movement orders can be given by pointing the sights at a given bit of terrain, and rounding out the orders with "…move to crosshair."

Ahhh that's right.....SOCOM!!!!!!

SlappingOysters6691d ago

That was the first game I thought of to, but it has been a while since I played a SOCOM game and from memory, it wasn't particularly functional. I remember saying basic three word orders and constantly getting the wrong result.

For ordering full armies around, the voice recon is going to have to be ace.... sounds like it is.

WilliamRLBaker6691d ago

Black hawk down used it.

there have been a few games that used it before socom....

toughNAME6691d ago

with all the different headsets PS3 owners use...I wonder if the PS3 version would be affected by this

mintaro6691d ago (Edited 6691d ago )

woah, easy there, no need to get snippy

Panthers6690d ago

This is a legitimate question. Some headsets work better than others. Most seem to work great, but some cause terrible feedback. Those that have crappy ones will just need to get a better headset. Since this games is the way it is, it should offer a package with a headset.

bootsielon6691d ago (Edited 6691d ago )

How affected will be the game when your 360 gets another RROD? Will you be able to imaginarily continue playing? Better ask the developers if the shock will or won't be that big.

Edit:

You're such a crybaby, always taking bubbles from the rest. The same should be done to you, for a change.

Edit 2:

Why all the disagrees? I'm replying to toughNAME's stupid comments, he should be the one whose bubbles are taken from since he always makes inflammatory comments. I was simply giving him a spoon of his own soup, yet he thinks my bubbles should be taken. Suddenly I burst a few Xbots veins even though they didn't stop to see why I made the comment. You're unbelievable, Xbots.

toughNAME6691d ago (Edited 6691d ago )

Who knows what my imagination will be doing in the future

But in reality I will be taking your bubbles, and strongly suggesting others do the same

Lord Cheese6690d ago (Edited 6690d ago )

why, pray tell, is anyone that disagrees with you, dubbed an xbot? This is why i stuck you on ignore the very first post i read from you. You constantly spout crap and expect everyone will back you up because of some sort of sony fanboy solidarity.

Give it a rest and stop being a fanboy d!ck. If were a proper gamer at all you'd be concerned with the games, not making dull targetted attacks at 360 owners.

Shroomy6691d ago

Shut up, seriously that's an old issue now, old like how Sony had to puncture your PS3 with more air holes because the ones displayed in advance at retail OVERHEATED, OH BLASPHEMY A PS3 OVERHEATING WE NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE..it's because 360 owners aren't sad using some old fault a thousand times over, like you for example.

"RROD RROD HAHAHA I'M STUPID AND IMMATURE SO I'LL JUST SAY THIS SAME PHRASE OVER AGAIN IN EVERY ARTICLE I GO TO BECAUSE I'LL LOOK COOL ON THE INTERNET AND PEOPLE WILL LIKE ME"

The "future" has a lot of morons it seems.

bootsielon6691d ago (Edited 6691d ago )

People are still reporting it, the fact that you don't hear about it anymore means that people are just used to. I'm in my fourth Xbox already, and if you don't believe me, look at my gamertag; I would have more achievements had it not crapped out on me a MONTH after I got it. Now I use it mainly as a dust collector, although it seems that with all the heat it packs and the wind it expells, it doesn't even work for that; hell, not even as a paperweight.

BTW, I'm glad you're so sensitive, look at the way you reacted. That definitely deserves to be LOL'd at. It seems that the "present" holds more "morons" than the "future" after all.

Edit:

PS3 is still compatible with more games of its premium quality legacy than Xbox 360 with its original Xbox's mediocre legacy. PS3 is compatible with ALL PSOne games, which are better than anything available on both Xbox and Xbox 360.

Furthermore, all PS3s can play all PS3 games. I can't say the same for the Arcade or Core 360s. I can't say that Premium and Core 360 will display an image as good as the Elite does. What will happen with the Ultimate? Aside from PS2 Backwards Compatibility, which would be updated had everyone not had a PS2 already (and anyone that wanted 100% BC got it already, at launch), every PS3 can play every PS3 game. Even more, you can add any HDD you want on PS3, something I can't say for your favorite console, Xbot.

Shroomy6691d ago

Try buying a newer manufactured one with the Falcon chipset, and don't even bring up a silly argument *LOL EXTINCT XBOX'S* when Sony release new PS3's with some upgrades, some downgrades *backwards compatability or lack of for that matter.*

I'm hardly in tears over it, if I was it would be in laughter, cause I'm a "moron" according to you... yay!

Forget discounts,If they want to compete with EA Access, they need to bump up the AAA Games that are on the PS Store and on PS Now. There weren't a lot of games on PS Now that interested me, especially for that price point.

Let's take a moment and think about this..

Sony, I love you, but take notes! EA Access has a lot of extras that sound great if you’re looking for a new loyalty program, that blanket 10% off digital video games will definitely save subscribers some money if they’re big fans of Electronic Arts’ video games. Users who purchase a brand new Electronic Arts Xbox One title a month will break even on that first game, saving $6 off a $60 purchase.

PSN store trying to compete with EA Access? What nonsense!

Total different things!

And they need to bump up the AAA games on the PSN store? What? All the AAA games can be bought on the PSN store.

And no, PS Now is also not trying to compete with EA Access, again something else entirely...

And no, EA Access is not good value at all if you do not live in the US! They give 10% off on digital game purchases, MSRP of games is €70, 10% off means they are €63 but I can buy physical copies during initial release for between €50-55. Then there are a gazillion sports titles for free that I have no interest in. The games I'm interested in I already buy so don't need free copies a year after their release. The only nice thing about it is the 10 hours early access, that's it!

Helden3688d ago

Just one game on PS4 (R6 Siege)
I expected more

Eidolon3688d ago

Tbat's like the only Tom Clancy game on PS4.. so that's ALL of them.

Aenea3688d ago

US only, why not add it in the title?
