The next generation of videogame consoles may still be a long way off, but according to Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, they’re already getting ready to develop games for them.
“For us, the current machines are very powerful and we can do high quality work,” he told CNBC. “I’d like to stay with this generation as long as possible, but my customers will want the best machine possible.”
All major next-gen consoles may also feature motion-based controls, as evidenced by Sony and Microsoft‘s E3 2009 presentations. Guillemot, however, says that their core licenses will mostly stick to the tried-and-true controller setup.
“The current pad for gamers is giving them a lot. They play for hours, so they don’t want to get up and down. They don’t want to be tired after five minutes. These games are about reactivity.”
