Ubisoft CEO Praises the NX and Calls it Easy to Use With an Attractive Interface

Ubisoft apparently really likes the NX, whatever it ends up being. Today we learned that they have other games in development for it beyond Just Dance 2017, as they compared their potential offerings to things like ZombiU from the current generation. That’s not all though, as Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has gone on to explain a bit about why they are excited, giving some insight into the NX without unveiling what exactly it is (come on Nintendo, any day now!). Here is what he said in an exclusive interview with IGN;

“I think, once again, the interface is very attractive,” he said. “It’s a machine that will be easy to use for all gamers. They have built in something that will give us chance to really have a different experience from what exists today. That’s what I like – that they come with something new that is adapted to what we actually want now.”

“I think it’s a really new approach, it’s really Nintendo, coming with something new again. We love it.

It’s difficult to answer that [before NX is revealed]. What we see is that Nintendo has learned from the Wii U. All publishers learn from what they do, and then come with something new and more attractive, which I think is the case here.

We always take disruptions on the positive side. We think each time that it’s an opportunity for our creators to take more risk. When a machine is installed, there are a certain number of brands that are taking up the time of players, so they are going to buy the next Assassin’s Creed or Call of Duty. Even if they say, ‘I’m interested in what you’re doing,’ at the end of the day they first buy what they know, and then they go somewhere else.

When they change machines, they consider that it’s better to try actually what has been done for that machine, so it gives us an opportunity to either totally change an IP that we have done before, or to create new experiences and new IPs.”
