Ubisoft is Focusing On Making Sure Games Are Playable on Targeted Hardware
-----------Watch Dogs downgrade backlash made Ubisoft change its approach to showing games.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, while speaking with The Guardian said that the company now focuses on making sure games were playable on target hardware before showing them off at events such as E3.
"With E3 2015 we said, 'OK, let's make sure the games are playable, that they're running on the target machines,'" he explained.
"When we show something, we ask the team [to] make sure it's playable [and] make sure gamers can immediately see exactly what it is," Guillemot continued. "That's what we learned from the Watch Dogs experience--if it can't be played on the target machine, it can be a risk."
Also in the interview Yves said that he believes that Watch Dogs was a good first step towards establishing a new property.
"It's a real challenge to create those types of games," said Guillemot. "When they come out, especially the first iterations, they are not perfect on everything."
"We think we launched a good quality game for a first step in a new brand with a new technology. It's just so complex--seamless multiplayer, connectivity with mobile and tablets, so many things--it was maybe a bit too much for a first iteration."
As of October 2014, Watch Dogs has shipped more than 9 million copies since its release in May for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3,PlayStation 4, and PC.
