Tom Clancy's EndWar will be playable using only voice commands, Ubisoft revealed in its Ubidays press conference, although there will also be the option to use a joypad.
It'll be the first new Tom Clancy game the publisher has created since Splinter Cell, and we were told to "imagine the apocalypse as a techno thriller" to get an idea of what to expect.
Ubisoft was also keen to highlight a new camera positioning that will feature in EndWar, likening it to the low camera experienced in Madden football games; looking over the shoulder of the player rather than at the head and back.
Tom Clancy's EndWar is a strategy game with online multiplayer for next-generation consoles, set on the battlefields of World War III.
It's expected to be one of the big names on the Ubidays show floor tomorrow. We'll be bringing you our impressions of it as soon as we can get within touching distance.

well you have the option of voice control but you can always play the traditional way so why complain ???

Pussys. Get your balls back...or at least whisper. Anyways if Ubi put a decent effort into it unlike the awful attempt they made with Rainbow Six, it may work well. Being a new franchise im sure they're keen to impress or at the very least give the game something obviously different from similar titles. As I write I'm reminded how bad microsoft have done with voice activation in Vista. I have speant precious hours fine tuning the dam thing and it still didn't work. God if an entire operating system with custom tuning can't get it right then oh ooh.
Jumps back over fence. |

I had voice-recognition button-mapping for the Rainbow Six games on the PC pre-Xbox bastardisation. It made the experience much more enjoyable, being able to dictate go-codes without having to waste a vital second looking for the 'j' on the keyboard. It added to the experience of playing as pseudo-captain of the squad. I wouldn't say it's for every game, though.

The Xbox Rainbow Six's all had voice commands to order your squad around, if they build on those, it should work out pretty well.

Yeah those worked brilliantly! I'm surprised they don't really use them anymore. Never once did they get the wrong order, I was genuinely taken aback. |

Ok... "...although there will also be the option to use a joypad." OBJECTION! |

ZOMG. I think it's a great idea if it's implemented well. My micro skills are not good enough for playing CnC etc online and I'm often angry at myself for losing because of that fact. Chucking commands around sounds like a terrific idea. I think UbiUbiUbiUbiAAAaaaAAaaa should be praised for attempting it.
/fingers crossed |

"Tom Clancy's EndWar will be playable using only voice commands"
If that were true I would be worried. "although there will also be the option to use a joypad" Good job its not then. P.s., before I even check, someone else has almost certainly made this point already. Clearly I prefer the sound of my own voice ;) |

HOLY CHRIST!!! The day I finally get around to turning up the WAVE volume in the windows sound control panel is the day you use that link. I nearly shit not only my pants but those of everyone in the room. Oh jesus, my heart is still racing and all I can hear is the sound of a high C#. |

Ahhh, well spotted. Thats why they call you Batman.
Well, I defer to asphaltcowboy's initial comment. Not only did he nearly deafen me (and nearly make me bring the staff at my local launderette unecessary drama), but he also mislead me. I feel betrayed and let down. Edit: and you can have an apple too masterson :)

OBJECTION! And by the way, Voice commands FTL. Rainbow 6 was hilariously bad, and you just felt like a dick using them anyway. |

Not in Rainbow Six 3 it wasn't. It was astonishingly accurate for me. I was blown away by how good it was. |
