R.U.S.E. Trailer Demonstrates Multitouch Controls

With Windows 7 now on shelves, publisher Ubisoft has announced that Eugen's WW2 real-time strategy R.U.S.E. will support the operating system's 'multitouch' capabilities, allowing players to control the game entirely through a compatible display on PC.

R.U.S.E. will hit PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in the first quarter of 2010, with special 'ruse' perks including the ability to reveal enemies' orders and create decoy units.

A new gussied-up trailer shows multitouch on PC monitors, though we can't help but pine for the dreamy futuristic gaming table seen in R.U.S.E.'s announcement trailer.

That commercial would have been better if it was 2 fat dudes eating cheetos and donuts, smearing the resulting sticky, orange goo all over those screens.

wouldn't it be easier to do all of these controls with the mouse (in player perspective) ? that's stupid but still might do a good job for MS Surface

Holy crap that looks sad.

This suffer's the same problem as the Wii-mote - yea, it's cool at first, but it's not a comfortable experience.

Why would i want to hold my hands up against the screen like that for any extended period of time? I can do more with the flick of the wrist with my arms comfortably resting on the desk / armrests.

Also - the multi-touch demo'd in this video shows horrible input lag - not going to work for most RTS games that require much quicker responses to areas spread about on a large map.

Nifty - but still retarded - not to mention the un-mentioned cost of a high-resolution, multi-touch capable monitor.

Won't your screen be completely filled with fingerprints? I can barely open my clamshell phone without messing up the screen.
I know I'm not the only one cringing whenever some tool puts their greasy fingers on my monitor, I can't imagine actually doing it myself.. on purpose!

I am not sold on multitouch as a means for full control on desktops/laptops. It is going to take something amazing to supplant the mouse.
