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.

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 »

These two trailers give you a very brief taste of two of the game's fractions. Above you see the Masari faction, on the jump you get a look at the Novus faction. More »

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. More »
