Ubisoft: 'Development PS3/360-version Watch Dogs not started yet'

Interview here (in Dutch).

gaf

"The team is developing it on high end pc's and next gen, after that other teams are looking how they can make it fit for the older generation. So the first approach is to see how they can take full advantage of the next gen consoles."

YAY ubi...finally focusing on next gen.

other info

Other interesting tidbits:
- "Maybe we can show both versions (of Watch Dogs) at E3"
- Rainbow Six: Patriots still in development! "A good team is working on it and they have good ideas. It costs us some time to figure it out and to bring out the right feeling in the game."
- "We're still working on some Vita-games. I can't announce anything yet, but it's coming. The Vita isn't dead to us yet."

Interesting. I would speculate that next gen consoles will get it a bit earlier than PC.

It's a next-gen game, and I don't know why they would release it on current-gen consoles.

Where does that leave the WiiU version?dobzilian

Did they not say they had a working version of Watch Dogs Wii U up and running already?

Though they haven't implemented any fancy features with the GamePad yet.

EDIT: yeah, here.

Doubt it, FC3 was on PC at the same time

more money duh!

I wonder how tonned-down the WiiU version will be and if the potential special control features will make it interesting.

lol, why even bother at this point?siLVURcross

Cause over 150 million PS360 owners out there?

I remember when GTA IV came out, a lot of PS2 owners were asking for a port... (of course the game would look like a modded San Andreas on the PS2 if it happened)

Like I said - it would probably look like San Andreas with different assets on the PS2.

They didn't make a PS2 version but the request was there...

More terrible news for Wii U fans.

The WiiU version is also between the next gen versions and the PS3/360 versions of the game in graphics from what I heard on neogaf.

this game screams to be played on either pc or next gen consoles, I love you ps3 and all but you really are showing your age

Everything that has been shown so far has been the PC version as far as I know...so not too surprising. And by the time this game comes out, you'll have hardware that runs it even better then the then outdated Consoles, right at release.

What's interesting is that they are developing it concurrently on PS4/PC/Wii U... how is Wii U in the lead platforms list?DropsofJupiter

They could just kept it for next gen only :|

Who cares? I'm going to get the PS4 version which is the best.

My thoughts exactly who wants to play a watered down version of this amazing game when you can get it on new consoles.

Interesting. I would speculate that next gen consoles will get it a bit earlier than PC.

KiZZo1

and why would you think so? 

Watch dogs is developed on the PC first, then downscaled to next gen platforms, and then further downscaled to wii u/xbox 360/ps3.

Quote from the dutch interview

Yves: We have, in my opinion, but a game that had really had problems with a port and that's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. The PC project could be better managed. But with the other brands there is a lot of time and effort in which all platforms have the perfect game.

We also expect fewer problems with porting games to the PS4 than the PS3, which had a completely different infrastructure. It is now easier. Previously, we developed first games on the Xbox 360 and which were then translated into the PS3. It took a lot of time and money to make that port. Now we develop from the PC and which versions are translated into a console like the PlayStation 4.

wheres your comments now drops of jupiter

PC MASTER RACE.  All gameplay demos of watchdogs were from PC.   Even after the ps4 event when they were interviewing the producer of watch dogs on gametrailers, The first question the host asked him is which platform is watchdogs currently playing on. And he said PC. 

They should just make Watch Dogs a PS4/PC game. What better incentive to buy a next gen console than exclusive games for that console?

[QUOTE="lunar1122"]

[QUOTE="DropsofJupiter"] Incorrect. It is being developed on PS4 and PC, concurrently being downported to Wii U. Once these three versions are complete, the Wii U version will be further downported to Xbox/PS3.crippled_ram

it could be running on wii u, hell its even running on ps4 right now .  Fact  is it was DESIGNED ON PC. THEREFORE it was running on PC before every console.  If you go to my orginal post i questioned why he would think the pc version will come out after ps4.

They should just make Watch Dogs a PS4/PC game. What better incentive to buy a next gen console than exclusive games for that console?

Blazerdt47

They should make it for all possible platforms that can handle it, that includes the 720 too. If they want to make a downscaled Wii U version they can.

Really the Wii-U is only "next gen" if you define it by being Nintendo's next system, it's not next gen in anyother aspect however. They do the same thing with cars, they release the "next generation" of cars that have all these new features, if a car company released a new car which just has a radio now introduced to that model that doesn't make it part of the next generation in the slightest.

That's how I see the Wii-U. It's only next gen for Nintendo.

yes i will, consoles hold back pc games. Its good to hear now that instead of designing on xbox 360 first,  They now for all of their games design PC first then downscale for other platforms if so needed.

Which at the end of the day , means extremely good pc versions. Which makes me very happy.

Actually that gif is a good example of Nintendo. Nintendo is the old man, it is choosing to stick with outdated tech, Steve Carrel is "next gen". Nintendo can't come into the next gen room because it's not really part of it.

Devs agree: 

Shots fired...EA CEO says Wii U not "next gen" | IGN

It's only "next gen" if you define by being the next Nintendo console. It is not next gen by anything else. You will never see PS4 and 720 games possible on the Wii-U or on the same level.

And BTW, I am going to buy a Wii-U. Just for the record. I gotta have my Mario and Zelda games!
