Gaming Tom Clancy's EndWar - New screens, game is actually real!

[Hadrian]

I'd settle for a brand new Warcraft or Starcraft on DS.

It's me or I saw a screen with square tiles and 3 another with hexagonal tiles? blink:

I think not for this game, looks suck. Advance Wars and Panzer Tactics are enough for me, yet this one combines them both, man...

We wish ;_;

Will also settle for Diablo DS.

Bring some PC goodness onto the DS ^.^

Any other info about this one? If it's not crappy I'll give it a go.

So far, the only thing I can imagine is Khaled Al-Asad fighting a bunch of GIGN from the screen ^^

With the Blizzard and Activision merge, hopefully Blizzard will get more involved in handheld systems. Their previous GBA games were okay, but they just didn't do Blizzard justice. To me, they're like the God of gaming and Activision themselves have released some pretty kick ass games. I honestly don't know how the business industry works, so I'm just going out on a limb here. Anyway, I'd be ridiculously happy with just a Diablo, Starcraft, or Warcraft game on the DS.

Wiat, what do you mean, are you telling me this is a joined project of Blizard and Activison?

If so, then it shouldn't be a crap, gotta try it once it comes out

No, the game is being made by Ubisoft. I think they were talking about wanting Blizzard to make Starcraft or Diablo for the DS (which, admit it, we'll never see happen. Cause Blizzard hates us).

 

[Shichibukai]

hmph. It looks like civilization and panzer tactics.

One of the screenshots says "Awaiting opponent's move orders". Pretty obvious, isn't it?

It'd be interesting to know the extent of Tom Clancy's involvement with all these Ubisoft games. My guess would be he has zero involvement -- likely not even cashing the royalty checks (since his accountant probably does that for him, too) -- and it also wouldn't surprise me if he has little idea that many of these games even exist.

Just like any drink with the coca cola label sells like crazy so does the Tom Clancy title.

Will also settle for WoW online. But i doubt that will ever happen.

I think he wrote the general idea for the universe (eg. the backgrond information for RAINBOW, Third Echelon, WWIII, etc.) for all the games (as you might know Tom Clancy's games like Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, EndWar, etc. are all in the same universe.) The dialogues and plot points are probably written by Ubisoft's writers.

Isn't Tom Clancy's Universe is today Earth? And I heard the games were based on his military novel, so maybe the dialogues were written by him

Some of them are set in the future, like Ghost Recon 2 and, obviously, EndWar. According to Wikipedia some of the veterans on the European side are former RAINBOW operatives and the Americans will get units from Third Echelon (from Splinter Cell) and Ghost Recon.

He did write a Rainbow Six novel. There are Splinter Cell and EndWar novels but they were not written by him. Not sure about Ghost Recon. Most Tom Clancy novels are set during the Cold War, anyway.
