But now that i cant even try a demo i'm not sure if i'll take the risk especially now with so many other games coming out now that i want.

The games main control system is using voice control(which works very well even with my scottish accent) all 360's come with a mic.
You can use your pad to play of course.
This may be a possible reason, but then again may not be

Interesting line of thought Mr. Year, but also could work against them and hinder sales. Less people will be able to try the game, thus turning off potential customers who maybe WANT "just another RTS."

Silly, stupid move all around, same as the lack of CoDWaW Beta being on both systems.

This is not a slight against MS, but I can feel the incentives working behind this. There is simply no smart business sense behind this move at all.

Because Microsoft has the absolutely idiotic, butt-headed competitive tactic of relying on purchasing away anything and everything it can that could have a chance on the PS3 (even short 15 minute demos).

Well here is my big middle-finger right up to Ubisoft; You certainly won't be getting any of my Andrew Jacksons.

(BTW my middle-finger has been up in Microsoft's face for practically the entire year so nobody needs to tell me I missed that one).

Thats too bad because I was planning on actually buying the game but I guess now I can download the full PC version for free.Thanks Ubi for saving me from a horrible purchase like you did with RSV 2.Anyways Dead Space just got bumped up on my list.

Endwar is designed around voice command. PS3 doesn't come with a headset, so why waste time making a demo for folks who can't even play the game correctly?

c'mon it's the first game in a long time that doesn't release a demo on the PS3...what i think it's a shame is that devs don't take advantage of the universal KY support on the PS3...they should support KY + Mouse on the PS3...I guess the FragX controller should work fine...

The reason is that for a PS3 demo they would've needed to setup dedicated servers while on XBL they can use the cheap peer-to-peer for the only available mode in the demo (One-2-One versus mode)...to do otherwise would mean to put out a demo on the PS3 that is not representative of the real online experience you'll get.

Besides, when you have SOCOM and Resistance 2, LBP (GOTY) just a round the corner why would you care about this RTS?...many X360 owners don't care either they just pretend it's a great "exclusive" LOL

To be honest, I wasn't even remember about it with so many games coming out and I don't know many of my friends expecting it too... Now, even people expecting it shall drop it.

I'm not going the Patcher way here, but I say it won't sell greatly on PS3 becuase of the release date (Ubisoft and fanboys will say PS3 owners don't buy games or any other bullsh*t) and because of the genre itself (don't know that much people that still playing strategy games).

And don't give me that mc crap... It's a RTS, you can indeed play with your pad. In a matter of fact, would be more smart to make it keyboard compatible (I can only say one comand at a time, what about you?). People buying it are RTS funs regardless of the mic.

And the mic don't mean good or fresh as many people are thinking. Don't saying it's a bad thing, but we have seen it before, devs implementing a game to the "mic gameplay", not the other way around. I would wait before saying it shall be great.

And about the P2P, it's not like PS3 games NEEDS to have servers-based online multiplayer, it doesn't. You can make the online multiplayer in P2P, the problem is that PS3 don't have a built it platform for it, so Ubisoft would have to make it anyway (still not excuse enough for me).

Sony hasnt released their BT headset yet, and most ps3 owners dont have a 3rd party one. what good is a demo if most of your install base cant play the game?

solidjun5 - 447 days 20 hours ago

I mean, the goal is to sell more games across all the platforms, especially considering UBISOFT is 3rd party and EndWar is already a multiplatform game. So companies for exclusive demoes? that's...retarded IMO.

Skyyo - 447 days 18 hours ago

I was interested and hoping for a demo.

Now with no demo they wont be getting my money.

Also the way Ubi is treating the PS3 is kinda tweaking me. May not purchase many more of there games.

Lets be honest though I highly doubt they care about one PS3 owner.

It's not just Ubi. I can't recall the last time I've heard a 3rd party praise the PS3 without so form of "but..." attached to it.

Well considering that the whole control scheme is based on voice, and that not all PS3 owners have a mic, i think it makes sense

Premonition - 447 days 19 hours ago

The whole control scheme isnt just based on voice, you can use regular buttons as well to issue commands and what not, Ubisoft is a punk for this one, and it would really be sad if MS shelled out money for a freaking demo exclusivity, just another low blow to me. At the end of the day its their problem for not sharing their work to all gamers.

Gam71 - 447 days 19 hours ago

The main selling point on this game is voice control and every 360 has a mic.

oh i see maybe you're right ms paid them.
Feel better now?

Just because a demo doesn't come out is no reason not to buy it.

Nonsense. SOCOM did speech recognition since the very first one, that didn't stop Sony producing demos of it/them.

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

Endwar was supposed to use motion control in a *Minority Report-like* fashion which was actually only going to be available on the PS3. PSEye has a brilliant mic which can filter out background noise, so they could have easily done a demo to highlight these features.. Problem is it would have made the XB360 vers look antiquated, so it wouldn't surprise me if MS had their checkbook out again.

hi6hli6ht - 447 days 18 hours ago

i have socom 1 & 2 for the ps2 and i managed fine without the headset, all i had to do was press the O button and all the orders were there. i know it wouldve been better or more authentic with the headset but didnt really bother me, the games were awesome either way.

but that motion control thing sounds cool. i still wanna see how that turns out, prolly try it out at my friends house since he's getting the game and see which one i prefer and since im gettin a ps3 around christmas time, ill get it for ps3 instead if its worth the wait

How many 360 fanboy sites/devs are there now?

Damn, I'm glad I own a 360 then.

btw you can thank $ony for not including mics with the PS3. This game is controlled by voice and why put a demo out on a platfrom that has shoddy mic support. I'm surprised they are even making the game for the PS3.
