When the name Tom Clancy is stamped on a game, you are assured that it will at the very least be good if not great. Since Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell and Rainbow 6 landed in next gen, they have tried to expand into other war related markets such as RTS and now Flight Sim. Is their attempt to conquer the fighter pilot genre a foregone conclusion? We will have to wait and see.
Tom Clancy and by proxy Ubisoft is expanding the franchise outside of FPS. EndWar was cool, but nowhere near as bad ass as we all hoped it would be. The franchise now moves to Flight Sim and this could be a sleeper hit. Good flying games are few and far between and outside of Ace Combat, there really is not much else. This trailer is all CGI, but it does peak interest. I am waiting for some in-game trailers, but this will do for now.
The very anticipated demo for EndWar is now finally out on Xbox Live. The game is supposed to be the RTS to end them all, no pun intended, and promises to allow a new level of worldwide co-op play. Most console gamers are not big on RTS because a mouse and keyboard and by far the best way to play it, but this could be a lot of fun.
WMD. Weapons for Mass Destruction for our slower readers. In EndWar, you will be able to use such weapons, but only when your nuts are against the ceiling fan. If you do use one, the other guy can use one as well. So be careful. When its Defcon 1, its on like Donkey Kong.
World War III is upon us and its up to you to fight it. Here is a trailer, sort of. It looks like it could be the tutorial at the beginning of the game. Either way, this is shaping up like no RTS we have ever seen it. Pick a side and turn the tides of history.
The game promises to be a true global RTS. I am eager to see how this works. These types of games seem to have a huge learning curve and people tend to get real good real quick. The game looks amazing, RTS’s usually do. Let’s wait and see how it actually plays.
The Tom Clancy library is expanding and will be making a splash in air combat sims this fall with the release of HAWX. The game looks like an Ace Combat rip, but promises to deliver great flight mechanics. I can only hope that the missions are varied. Flight sims can get a little stale and repetitive.
Tom Clancy always delivered the goods in his tactical shooters and espionage games. Let’s see if he can deliver on an RTS, a very hard market to break into. You can control the game with just your voice. This is the trailer from E3. Check it out and let the games begin
Tom Clancy has done it all. Espionage, Recon, Infiltration, and even an RTS is coming our way soon. What is left? Kickass fighter planes beating the enemy into submission. HAWX is who you call when the shit hits the fan. Check out the latest trailer for his upcoming new title.
Ubisoft released a trailer today to show off a bit of gameplay footage for Tom Clany’s EndWar. It’s not too much, but it’s definitely enough to grab your attention. I’m excited for the voice command for the game. I hope it ships with a real sword that I can slam on the table when my troops fail a mission. Ahhh the power.
Coming Soon!
