Ubisoft “wished” it could allow PS3 and Xbox 360 owners to play upcoming voice-command strategy game Tom Clancy’s EndWar against each other but decided it was “impossible” because Sony and Microsoft “don’t like speaking to each other”, Julian Gerighty, editorial content director at Ubisoft Shanghai told VideoGamer.com at Ubidays last week.
EndWar, which is set for release on Xbox 360 and PS3 simultaneously this October or November, is a console-only strategy game which can be played entirely through voice command. Set in the near future, players pick from the Americans, Europeans and Russians and attempt to dominate the world in WW3.
Gerighty’s comments come as no surprise – we’ve never seen a video game that has allowed owners of Sony and Microsoft consoles to play against each other, and are never likely to either.
“I wish we could play cross-platform,” he told VideoGamer.com. “That would be nice. It’s impossible. Sony and Microsoft don’t like speaking to each other.”
We can’t even begin to imagine the trash talking that would have been heard online had Gerighty’s wish come true!
