    Universe At War Patch Lets Xbox 360, PC Players Duke It Out

    Sega and Petroglyph's real time strategy sci-fi game Universe At War: Earth Assault was all patched up today, bringing with it an exhaustive list of changes, tweaks and fixes. The most notable? The saucer's build time was reduced from 30 to 28 seconds. Almost as exciting was the addition of Xbox 360 versus PC cross-play in Ranked, Quickmatch and Conquer the World game modes, something that should make it much, much easier to find a game for Universe At War players.

    Universe At War Demo On Marketplace

    Back in Leipzig, McWhertor and I hung out at Sega's booth while Crecente played Universe at War on PC for hours. After a while, he let me take his game for a spin. I immediately blew up a non-replaceable ship. As I may have mentioned before, he was not happy. More »

    Console RTSs Are Good For The Genre

    Petroglyph's Creative Director Adam Isgreen is an RTS veteran, having worked on loads of Command & Conquers and, more recently, Universe at War. But he isn't worried that RTS titles making their way to consoles will in some way dilute the experience. In fact, he believes just the opposite:
    ...you could look at the transition of RTS from PC to console as "dumbing down" of the genre, but really that's completely inaccurate. The evolution of RTS from PC to console is all about re-discovering the core fun of the genre while stripping away the redundancy, over-complication, and bloat that has been attaching itself to RTS games over the years.
    He continues: More »

    Universe At War Teaser Trailer

    Sega has unleashed a new teaser trailer for Universe at War, the upcoming cross-platform PC and Xbox 360 RTS game. We have plenty of weapons flying, menacing aliens of the walking on stilts variety, green lasers, and nothing remotely resembling gameplay, which gives the whole affair a sort of generic feel. I'd daresay you could call this a teaser trailer for any game involving earth being overrun by aliens and folks will believe. I want to believe.
