First details of World in Conflict for console

Posted on Thursday, 27 March 2008 by L0k1-, source: tiscali

The website Tiscali Games has revealed the first details of World In Conflict: Soviet Assault. This game will appear for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 and will contain all the PC content plus some new features. For the first time you will be able to play the Soviets in a campaign and you will also be able to control your forces through voice commands.

Brand new campaign with obligatory switching sides and, for the first time, playing on the Soviet side.
Among new units a chronoplane, some sort of a boat-ship mix based on an actual prototype model from the '80s (perhaps the Bartini VVA-14?).
Camera controls mapped onto both analog sticks (as in a first-person shooter) with the possibility to zoom or pause the game completely.
Reinforcements or new units can be called to the battlefield either by using the context menu, or - at this point still a bit tricky - voice communication using the headset, same as in Tom Clancy's EndWar.
The same multiplayer maps & mods as in the PC version, plus some new ones. With the maximum number of connected players lowered from 16 to 10 and lacking cross-platform play.
The actual conversion (such as fitting the controls onto a joypad) being handled by Swordfish Studios, with Massive Entertainment supplying only new content.
New rendered movies and cutscenes.

If everything goes according to plan, the game should appear at the end of October this year. Let us hope that this new content will also find its way to the PC fans!
