According to this CVG piece, Ubisoft’s confirmed that an EndWar demo will hit Xbox Live and PSN before the game launches later this year.
“The balance of these games is the win or lose of the games,” Ubisoft content director Julian Geright told the site. “We’ve balanced it fairly well, but we’re doing two different beta tests - one limited and one much much bigger.
“And then a demo where we’re going to be able to balance on the results. We’re doing a playtest with professional gamers to make sure there are as few exploits as possible before launch.”
The voice-commanded strategy game was in fine fettle at Ubidays 2008 last night, but no specific date has been given for its launch as yet.

I’ve watched the video of this and it really doesn’t look very exciting at all. Is there any kind of buzz surrounding this whatsoever?
The voice control thing is something of a novelty but having been irritated enough by Dr Kawashima’s seeming inability to understand the names of colours I remain a little sceptical that it can be used to control something as complicated as a strategy game.

I wouldn’t dismiss it because of that. Ubi will be aware of the issues people had with that, and besides, Nintendo isn’t exactly on the fore-front of technological advances, are they - you’d think that the other two would have more suitable tech for discerning what people are going on about.
I liked how you could switch the camera to the perspective of any of your forces, with one command, to see the world from their individual viewpoint; rather than being stuck fooling around trying to scroll to the right bit, quickly enough. I’ve only seen WiC, not played it, but this looked graphically stronger, and more detailed than that.

I reckon a lot of people are watching this. God knows how it’s going to do at retail, though.
