After the break. We were playing this in London today: it’s very cool. It’s the only game in the world that lets you deploy nuclear missiles by saying “WMD attack hostile one,” and is therefore wicked.

See for yourself. It’s out on November 7 for 360 and PS3.

Ubisoft has just confirmed to VG247 that voice-controlled RTS EndWar will release on November 7 in Europe.

The game’s being shown off in London today in its Theater of War meta-mode, and is looking in very good shape. We just deployed our first nuke, in fact.

We’ll have more from the event tomorrow and next week.

Ubisoft just sent out an email to those eligible for the EndWar multiplayer demo, saying the test was supposed to be starting today but has been dropped back a week. Here’s the message in full:

Thank you for registering for the EndWar VIP Demo. We are excited to give you this pre-launch exclusive access to the game. The VIP Demo was originally scheduled to start today, but we will be changing the start date to October 7 in order to ensure you have the best experience possible.

We appreciate your patience and watch for your token to arrive on October 7.

Many thanks, Gekidami!

After the break. The video explains the Theater of War aspect of Ubi’s voice-controlled RTS, which is basically an ongoing, persistent world war sim where your battles count towards global domination chances for your “side.”

We could go on, but the movie does it better. So watch it. Game’s out in November.

According to this IGN report, those that pre-order voice-controlled console RTS Tom Clancy’s EndWar are going to get an invite to a “VIP demo,” which is another name for an open beta, apparently. From the piece:

In what is essentially an open beta, buyers will be have access to multiplayer functionality and participate in a final stress test for the title’s online systems. There are a limited number of keys available for the pre-order beta program, so access tokens will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis, Ubisoft said.

The VIP demo/beta will begin in early October. A private EndWar beta was held in June and featured three maps in 1v1 and 2v2 online multiplayer matches.

Media hell. Ubi’s released new screens of Tom Clancy’s EndWar. Looking sharp. Stop the screenshots. Please. On IGN.

Don’t worry; we checked. This delicious cinematic double-helping highlights two games: Tom Clancy’s Endwar and Godfather II.

Both are fresh off the video-editor, with Endwar’s trailer coming straight from Leipzig, and Godfather II’s killer sample recently debuting at EA’s press-only Studio Showcase.

Joystiq is playing host to both clips, so head over there and enjoy. Or don’t. Not that we’ll get lonely or anything.

Joystiq reports that Tom Clancy’s End War will be released for PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 14 in the US and Europe.

PC version is “under consideration” apparently.

By Mike Bowden

Gamespot’s posted up its pre-E3 hands-on with voice-controlled RTS Tom Clancy’s EndWar, and there’s still plenty of reason to be cheerful from the sound of it.

It will only take a few minutes of ordering “unit one to attack hostile two” and “unit three to secure Yankee” before you’ll be fully engrossed in the battle. Having such seamless controls is important to keep the rock-paper-scissors gameplay flowing. Gunships destroy tanks and artillery, tanks destroy transports, and transports can take out gunships with AA flak. The core combat flows from this system and the voice commands make it that much easier to master.

Check out a new, very cool video after the link.

According to this X3F story, more keys have been released for the EndWar beta, although we’re not entirely sure how you go about getting your hands on one.

Around 15,000 people are currently test-playing the voice-controlled RTS. The beta’s slated to finish on July 17.

Some helpful person playing in the Tom Clancy’s EndWar beta has filmed ten minutes of gameplay and put it on the internet. After the link.

The voice-controlled console strategy game looks in fine fettle. We’re definitely looking forward to baffling loved ones this autumn by screaming ridiculous war commands into a microphone.

Thanks, X3F.

X3F brings word that the Tom Clancy’s EndWar beta’s gone live, and apparently contains in the region of 15,000 people.

The test gives players the chance to work through one of three online modes in 1v1 or 2v2 matches, and will end on July 7.

Ubisoft’s announced a private beta for the 360 version of Tom Clancy’s EndWar, the voice-controlled World War III strategy game. You need to have a Gold Live account to get in on the action. Taken from the official site:

The Private Beta will take place for 3 weeks in June and July, and will be available in English only. The Beta will feature 3 maps and be playable exclusively online in 1v1 and 2v2 matches. The Beta will be available for Xbox 360, and you will need to be an Xbox Live Gold Member, with a broadband internet connection, and 3 GB of free space on your Xbox 360 Hard Drive.

The version will be in a Test state and you will likely encounter some bugs and crashes. Your contribution will be very important and will help us to produce a better and more polished final product. Your participation in this Beta will be strictly confidential, and you will not be allowed to share your experiences playing EndWar anywhere outside of this website.

Sign-up here. Thanks, Gaming Today.

Sorry, this slipped under the radar yesterday. The PS3 version of Tom Clancy’s EndWar will support hand gesture commands via the PlayStation Eye camera, Eurogamer reports.

The feature will be used for moving the strategy game’s map around, from the sound of it. Ubisoft revealed the info at yesterday’s Ubidays event in Paris, also saying that the 360 version won’t be able to support gestures because the camera doesn’t come with a stand.

According to this CVG piece, Ubisoft’s confirmed that an EndWar demo will hit Xbox Live and PSN before the game launches later this year.

“The balance of these games is the win or lose of the games,” Ubisoft content director Julian Geright told the site. “We’ve balanced it fairly well, but we’re doing two different beta tests – one limited and one much much bigger.

“And then a demo where we’re going to be able to balance on the results. We’re doing a playtest with professional gamers to make sure there are as few exploits as possible before launch.”

The voice-commanded strategy game was in fine fettle at Ubidays 2008 last night, but no specific date has been given for its launch as yet.

You could damage yourself working through endless stories in a creaking newsreader, but that would be simple duplication of effort. No efficiency there. Let us take the strain. Relax. Kick back. Pop that umbrella into your pina colada and wipe the sunblock from your precious eyes. Then watch a load of videos from Ubidays 2008 on one page instead of 1,400.

After the link you’ll find footage of Prince of Persia, Beyond Good & Evil 2, Tom Clancy’s EndWar, Far Cry 2, Soul Calibur IV, Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party, Tom Clancy’s HAWX and Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway.
