Ubisoft Shanghai working on EndWar sequel

A small team at Ubisoft Shanghai is working on a sequel to last year's voice command-controlled real-time strategy game Tom Clancy's EndWar.

EndWar made me realize that i will never like RTS. I though the vocal commands would change something, but i still suck when it's about to control more than two things at a time. So i know i wont get this one.

@ OP, why couldn't you order more than one troop? You can order several from anywhere on the battle field. The voice commands are just a fun option, most people don't use that at all unless they're looking to change it up a bit from the norm.

1.5mill? that's great for a new RTS IP. I'm so glad there was enough support for a sequel. The game is certainly the blue print for RTS controls with a control pad. Sure they can do some refinements but what they did with the controls on the pad was spot on for console gamers.

I'd like to see more variation in the combat units for EW2. They had certain strengths in specs but in actual gameplay it felt like they were all alike. That's about all I can think I want for the sequel and perhaps a more robust story line but they're already working on that I see.

RTS games are great, but EndWar is not a great RTS game.

1.5 million isn't that good for a new IP that they put 20+ million dollars in marketing behind and another 30 in production costs for.

I couldn't get into the first Endwar, but i will admit, the voice recognition system was the best I had ever used. I hope they find a way to make it work with Natal.

I enjoyed EndWar, played a bit on the weekend. Nice to see that they are working on a sequal. However with R.U.S.E coming out, there will be a lot of compitition for market share. If The Devs can increase the graphics a bit more and really focus on making EndWar a bit more user-Friendly then i think it will be a true contender against R.U.S.E. But as of right now, i think R.U.S.E is the higher anticipated RTS game right now.

Hmm, Ubi are working on a lot of great games right now. The voice recognition is strange but it seems like some Ubi really want to try out. They've apparently implemented it in COP: The Recruit as well.

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!

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

Eidolon2986d ago

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

Aenea2986d ago

US only, why not add it in the title?
