Ubisoft announces R.U.S.E. for PS3

Ubisoft has just announced the development of R.U.S.E, a new real-time strategy game developed by Eugen Systems.

R.U.S.E. allows players to bluff their enemies to lead their nation to victory, controlling the action using views that range seamlessly from the heart of the battlefield to the full theater of war. Much like Ubisoft's EndWar, players will be plunged into the action through an intuitive interface that allows for smooth, rapid transitions from a birds-eye view of the entire conflict, down into the heat of the battle and vice versa.

"With R.U.S.E., Ubisoft is once again shaking up a genre, offering an RTS with a twist that will thrill gamers,” said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. "Ubisoft is known for innovation and R.U.S.E. continues that tradition, offering the most immense and detailed maps ever seen in an RTS. Players can explore the maps using IRISZOOM Engine, which provides an aerial, smooth interaction unlike anything ever seen before.”

R.U.S.E. reinvigorates the strategy genre by using deception to give new-found depth to the gameplay. Players use their wits to to deceive and mislead the enemy, rather than pure brawn.

"Ubisoft and Intel are demonstrating some of the benefits gamers will experience when playing R.U.S.E. on the Intel Core i7 processor based platforms,” said Elliot Garbus, vice president Intel Software and Services Group, general manager Visual Computing Software Division. "Gamers will experience more immersive game play with smooth zooming from satellite to ground view, superior AI delivering more complex unit movements and more realistic physics throughout the game.”

We should hear more about R.U.S.E. tomorrow, when Ubisoft presents the game to members of the press. R.U.S.E. will be released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in fiscal year 2009/2010.

    Interesting, but until more info about gameplay shows up, I'll be playing EndWar. C&C demo got a big yawn and a quick delete from me.

     All I can say is one thing, if you're gonna make a RTS, it better damn well have keyboard and mouse support.  For god sakes, Sony has given the devs the option, yet they don't use it.
