Ubisoft: No New IPs Without a New Console Generation

Is the 360 that much weaker than the PS3 though? Blu-Ray is an advantage without a doubt, but from a gameplay and graphics standpoint, it's not a large difference. As you said though, when devs get more skilled with the machine we could see that difference increase.TPiddy said:
I don't really see either Sony or MS wanting to push towards new consoles for a long while. The 360 in particular has been out a year longer, so typically we'd start hearing about the next console around this time. Instead of the next generation though, both are trotting out high-priced accessories to their core consoles with Kinect and Move. It's a smart move, since you're still selling your older console, and at a profit.
Nintendo I think is the wild card, since a lot of people expect some sort of Wii HD in the near future. They could trump both by bringing out a Wii2 that's more powerful than both the PS3 and 360 with a full library of guaranteed Nintendo first-party hits. Guess time will tell.
Well, the PS3's game library has pretty much caught up to the 360's, and both sides are losing exclusive title priviledges at an alarming rate, with 360 getting Final Fantasy and Metal Gear, and now with PS3 getting Mass Effect.BryanS7 said:
I do think you have a good point about the Wii, but it's just my gut feeling that somebody's going to jump the gun on the new console generation to get a headstart like MS got.
I don't understand Ubisoft's obsession with pushing the next console generation, cuz this is not the first time they've brought up the next generation with a hopeful look in their eyes. This one is expensive enough as is, do they not understand that a new generation would make that even worse?
well i dont see that happening anytime, especiall with sony, who wanted to draw it out a good chunk of years to really recover in profits.
i dont see many people moving on to the "new" consoles if they did have another new generation, so the companies would fail and i think they realize that so thats why they are biding there time with the next generation hopefully.

I'm inclined to think that should be "We're not bringing out any MORE new IPs than the ones we've already announced." There's a nice collection of new IPs in the works from Ubisoft already.
And as for the DRM, I'm glad I'm a PS3 gamer...
As for the next console generation, it's a couple of years away at the very least.
And I also say Nintendo are the ones most likely to pull the early release card on the other two.
Also worth noting, Sony don't say 10 year lifespan for their consoles, they say 20 - they expect people to still be gaming on last-gen consoles for a long time after the new one is released. Supported by a very slow decline in PS2 game releases after the PS3 came out.

Well looks like I probably won't be buying any Ubisoft games except for Beyond Good & Evil 2. And, Ubisoft, Assassins Creed was a new IP this gen, not a very good IP but it's made you money.
The 3 games I'm looking forward to most this year are all new IPs: Vanquish (the demo was great), Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom, and Enslaved.

ShootMania. There you go, confirmation that he's talking out of his arse. Even though it'll probably be riddled with UbiDRM (remember, RUSE is the exception: HAWX2 will get UbiDRM'd).
MW2 is not CoD 6 it is not part of the main series and is a spin off game from one of better games in the series CoD4. It is important it is not thrown in with the main series especially since it was not originally marketed with CoD in the title.thethingthatlurks said:
OT: I think is more of a pussy move on Ubisoft's account. I understand that the economy isn't great at the moment but that is why you must innovate and make new IPs. The companies are hardly going to plop out a new console gen anytime soon so unless Ubisoft changes their attitude they may face declining profits. So bacially given that the current global economic climate is shit and that some companies particularly Sony are only starting to turn a profit on their consoles I don't see a new gen coming anytime soon.
With their piece of shit drm I refuse to buy any game of theirs anyway.
Yes even beyond good and evil 2.
