Right-oh, here we have three new screenshots (well, one looks a bit 'arty' actually) from Ubisoft's console RTS Tom Clancy's EndWar, which is being directed by ex-Total War man Michael de Plater.
The game's being built from the ground up for PS3 and Xbox 360 and one of its main features is the ability to play it with your voice.
"It's really easy," creative director Michael de Plater has told CVG about the voice control mechanic.
"You hit the right trigger and you say the order. You can read all the currently available orders on the screen while the trigger is held down just like if you were using a two way radio.
"So all you need to know how to do is to press one button and read. And once you know the commands you don't even have to read them any more."
He continued, "The challenging part of the voice command isn't the interface or the voice recognition. It's having AI units who are smart enough to follow your orders like real soldiers.
"When you say 'Red Team attack Alpha' it's not a bunch of mindless drones marching to Alpha. These guys will use cover, combined arms tactics and terrain. You are the general, you don't need to micromanage every footstep of the most elite soldiers on the planet."
