Ubisoft: we will continue to support old-gen consoles for years to come
"We will continue to develop games for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 is right that in the years to come," said Lionel Raynaud, Vp of Creative, Ubisoft Montreal, the microphones of well-known videogame Portal Edge.
"We want to provide new titles to players who still use these consoles. Black Flag was the first game in the Assassin's Creed that belongs to the new generation, but was also designed with this intent. Anyway, I would consider it strictly a title cross-gen, as it presents the necessary mechanical and you could integrate properly with the new console. "
Raynaud he added: "it is a choice. When you develop a title that requires a release on both old-gen console that current-gen, you should always decide which of the two versions will serve as a reference point. In that sense, if you determine that all upcoming titles will be developed with an eye to the new console, there will be no kind of restriction. You can say that the old console version-gen will present the failings or imperfections in relation to counterpart for new consoles, but not for this one must deduce that the commitment to next-gen has been sacrificed. We have never made choices on Assassin's Creed or Watch Dogs because affected by limitation of old hardware, perhaps deciding that it could not introduce certain elements in the game completed. It would be really a bad attitude for the image of a company and a brand. "
You readers what you think about it? We should address the development of a title exclusively to a specific generation console, or you can combine programming games intended to place different hardware?
