Ubisoft’s Patrice Desilets: Wii roughly equivalent to PS2, Xbox

In an interview, Ubisoft Montreal’s Assassin’s Creed (Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Windows PC) creative director Patrice Desilets stated that the upcoming next-gen video game is not possible on the Nintendo Wii, saying the console is all about casual games. Desi lets believes the Nintendo Wii is comparable to the Sony PlayStation 2 and the original Microsoft Xbox.

“In terms of processing power and graphics capabilities the Wii is roughly equivalent to the PS2 and the first Xbox,” he said. After talking about Assassin’s Creed as a title that uses the current technology to do the Crusades justice, and boasting of Ubisoft’s proprietary engine that allows “over 150 individual AIs running at a single time and huge cities where everything is interactive and climbable,” Desilets concluded that such game is not possible on the Nintendo Wii hardware.

Assassin’s Creed is scheduled for release this November 13 on the Sony PS3 and Microsoft Xbox 360, with the PC version soon to follow. The video game is supposed to be under the “flower box” category, a unique gaming experience Desilets defined as “a sandbox experience that is heavily story driven.”
