Between online product listings and Nintendo's own release schedule, it seems everyone except Ubisoft itself is convinced that the publisher is bringing its stealth-action game Assassin's Creed to the Nintendo DS.

DS editions for both Tom Clancy's EndWar and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction are listed on the retailer's Web site, with both titles expected to ship in March 2008 for $29.99 each.

Despite the early success of Fight Night Round 3 with Live Marketplace, developers still hadn't been fully sold on the whole downloadable demo idea last E3. Not the case this year, the Hedgehog's got ears on a massive list of demos that'll be landing on Live next week. Fore sure are Ace Combat 6, Blue Dragon, and Mercenaries 2, quite possible are Devil May Cry 4, Tom Clancy's Endwar, and Halo 3 single player demo!!!

Also expect a massive bevy of new games for the Wii to appear at the show; including new ones from Sega, Capcom, and Konami. I guess having no obvious competition in Japan has those developers hifting priorities. Oh dear oh dear, poor Sony! They need big franchises like MGS and FF to hit the PS3 so people will buy them.

Problem is a new rumor states that Square-Enix is actually holding back FFXII until the PS3's install base reaches a more profitable level, classic Catch 22! Finally Ubisoft will be showing off a new Prince of Persia title in limited form next week. Expect to be mesmerized all over again!

The likes of Third Echelon, Team Rainbow and The Ghosts are all featured in Ubisoft's RTS, inspired by the Tom Clancy universe. The team behind EndWar spent its time at the recent Ubidays event talking up its console strategy title while talking down the console RTS genre in general. Nothing wrong with that; we're still waiting for a console RTS that controls as smoothly as they do on PC. We have our fingers crossed though for EndWar though, and Halo Wars. World War III has broken lose in ... » Read More

Tom Clancy's EndWar will be publicly beta-tested later this year, judging by comments made by creative director Michael de Plater in an interview with Eurogamer.

"We really believe that as soon as anyone can get their hands on the controls and experience it, it'll be something new and it's a level of immersion and realism and accessibility that's never really been in a strategy game," he said during Ubisoft's Parisian showcase yesterday.

"We're really focusing on getting our beta-test out for November."

EndWar Creative Director Michael de Plater knows the RTS genre like the back of his hand. His portfolio includes the likes of Creative Assembly and the Total War franchise. At Ubisoft's recent Ubidays event, we sat down with Plater to learn more about how his team intends to make a console RTS that actually works. Tell us how EndWar will redefine the RTS on a console. Some pretty big claims came from the conference. de Plater: Yes there were, but I think it's not even a case of "redefine" ... » Read More

Ubisoft has told GamesIndustry.biz that it believes it can exploit the World War III scenario established in Tom Clancy's EndWar for a variety of projects.

"As you can see from looking at World War II [games], World War III is something that can be big enough to be explored from loads of different directions, loads of different theatres and genres - we really see this as the beginning of that," said creative director Michael de Plater.

The console strategy game, detailed but not shown at Ubisoft's Paris event this week, has been designed to appeal to fans of tactical shoot-'em-ups as much as strategy gamers - with a control system that's comparable to the Ubisoft Ghost Recon games.

It is no secret that the Real-Time Strategy game has always had a hard time coming to consoles. The nature of the gameplay itself makes the game play a most difficult item to translate to the confines of a console controller. Even now, games like Command & Conquer 3, and the Lord of the Rings games haven't gotten it quite right.

So, how does a developer get around this minor road block? Well, according to Ubisoft, you make the whole damn game voice-controlled. Sounds cool, huh? Well, remember that most games that have tried this in the past have had less than successful implementations. After all, every human being's voice has a different depth, pitch and carry. Thankfully, Ubisoft is covering their own butts by also allowing a classic control scheme as well.

EndWar, the console-only RTS directed by an ex-Creative Assembly and Total War veteran, will be completely voice-controlled, our man with a notepad at Ubisoft's Gamer's Day has confirmed. The game will not require the use of a pad, although you'll be able to pick up and play if you want. But plans are afoot for a bracingly fresh approach to RTS action, with a camera posed at "battlefield level," which we assume means something akin to a third-person, floating view. Closer to the troops, then, ... » Read More

Tom Clancy's EndWar creative director Michael de Plater has said his game will feature a persistent online world campaign.

His comments come from a Q&A released as part of the press kit for the Ubidays event in Paris.

"Though it's a bit too early to reveal much of our intentions in terms of online multiplayer content, I can say that one of our most ambitious features is a massively-multiplayer persistent online world campaign," said Michael de Plater. "Every time you log in you will see the shifting front lines of an entire world at war, where everyone is participating in a unified global version of World War III."

Wednesday 2 May 2007 These naughty shots for EndWar, real-time strategy game in the Tom Clancy franchise, give us our first glimpse of the meta-warfare offered by the title. That is, you can see lots of men running around in large battlefields, instead of six men elbowing their way through a casino. Set in the future-world of 2020, EndWar presents a world where a high-tech missile shield has ended the need for - and the effectiveness of - nuclear weapons. But, inevitably, the peace that ... » Read More

A bit of digging has revealed that two Tom Clancy's EndWar teaser trailers are hidden within the viral website for the game, rev64.com. Go to the site, let it load and slightly off center at the top you'll see a yellow box with "PASSCODE //" in front of it. Click on the box, type some nonsense into it and hit enter. Do it correctly and you should hear some guy speaking (make sure you have your speakers on). Once he's finished his spiel, click on the yellow box again and type in "s9p1z6" and ... » Read More
