Ubisoft and the NX

Yesterday, GameSpot published an interview with Yves Guillemot, CEO of Ubisoft. It mainly covers new hardware, including the infamous and mysterious NX. He confirms what was already obvious: Ubisoft is bringing more than just Just Dance to the NX. What else is the company working on? Unfortunately, he doesn’t reveal anything more!

He also explains that players are generally more open to new things at the beginning of a generation:

What we see is, players are more open when new hardware is coming. So we have the chance to come with something we have never done before, because we know that if we are the first there, people will try our game and maybe we’ll be able to get into that new genre. As our people wanted to do a game like ZombiU, they were happy they could just use the Wii U to do it. For us, a machine is a tool of expression, but when everything become stable it’s less open to innovation. We always want innovation.
