Ubi's R.U.S.E. to use Windows 7 multitouch

Strategy game among first to exploit touch features
Ubisoft's strategy game, R.U.S.E. will be among the first games to exploit the new multitouch capabilities of Windows 7, it's confirmed.

Ubisoft says it's collaborating closely with Microsoft to deliver "immersive and new experiences" on Windows 7. We imagine it'll work something like the ad video below.

The game, if you're not entirely aware (and we don't blame you if you aren't) is described as "a one-of-a-kind real-time strategy game that allows players to bluff their enemies to lead their nation to victory."

"As a strategy game relying on a clean and intuitive interface built around the zoom, R.U.S.E. was the perfect candidate for Ubisoft to demonstrate how multitouch improves and streamlines the way games are played," says marketing man, John Parkes.

Two things...

1. What if you don't have a touch screen computer?

2. Do you really want to be sitting forward putting finger prints all over your monitor when you could be sitting back with a mouse in your hand...?

This. My 26" LCD monitor isn't a touch screen, and even if it were, I'm not exactly keen on placing oily fingerprints all over it.

Weird cos-players? People slacking at work?

A colleague of mine has had his office desktop monitor perched on top of a 360 elite in open sight for well over a year, and I seem to be the only person who's noticed it. Close the door, and at the flick of a switch, Microsoft Excel becomes Microsoft Exbox. Genius.

Now that's a hell of a thing! Laughing

Is that a fingerprint or a unit of destroyers there mate? Easier to play battleships and cruisers, the paper and pencil game.
