Videogamer writes: "This morning Ubisoft has revealed to VideoGamer.com that for the moment World in Conflict and its expansion are for "PC only". Earlier today the publisher announced that World in Conflict: Soviet Assault, the expansion to the popular PC RTS World in Conflict, will be arriving for PC in March. The digital download expansion will arrive alongside a retail game, World in Conflict: Complete Edition, which will include the original game and expansion.
"For the moment we are releasing Soviet Assault on PC only and have no plans at this time to release it or the Complete Edition on consoles," said the Ubisoft spokesperson."
Starting today (18.00 hours) until 23 December, players will download free World in Conflict (including expander Soviet Assault), Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Watch Dogs for PC via Uplay. More ...
I've collected quite a number of free games on UPlay. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of its bloated platform, but they have been pretty generous w freebies if you've kept up with their mailing list over time.
D2D is onto the fifth and final week of it's 5 Year Anniversary $5 Game Sale, this time giving several war titles the Lincoln treatment.
Highlights include 90% off Battlestations: Pacific and over 80% off on titles Company of Heroes Gold and Supreme Commander Gold.
Ten games in all fill the war list, with 20 other titles from all genres still being offered at $5 including Bioshock, Mount & Blade and The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena.
WOW! COH: Gold and World In Conflict: Gold for $10 is a STEAL! I already have the Original COH but none of the expansion packs so this is great!
Too bad D2D thinks the world is only USA, Canada, UK and Mexico. These region restrictions are an invite to piracy.
There's limitations and certifications you need to get to sell stuff in europe.
Worth Playing:
World in Conflict: Soviet Assault is a little difficult to score because there are two different versions of the game that cater to two very different crowds. On one hand, you have the $20 expansion pack, which adds six campaign missions and two multiplayer maps. The other version costs $30 and includes the original World in Conflict. There are clearly two audiences being targeted here, and the more loyal one seems to be getting the raw end of the deal. The six new missions are not worth $20, and aside from the six additional missions, Soviet Assault changes nothing else in the World in Conflict formula.
....I thought this game was supposedly coming to consoles a while back?! It seems to be a pretty cool game. Anyone got it on PC? How does it compare to the likes of Tom Clancys End War?! I really do hope that at some point they port it across to consoles, I for one would definitely pick it up.
