"Ubisoft to have 12 Natal-enabled games ready for launch

Wednesday, 13 Jan 2010 - 23:12PM

Now we've translated this one again with Google, but from what we can see, Ubisoft will have a dozen Natal-enabled game ready for launch. Pretty brilliant.

Speaking to GameKult, CEO of Ubisoft France Geoffroy Sardin said (remember the translations a little rusty) "Whenever there is a new application is our strategy, we want to be the first to have a good learning curve and continue to offer each time the better. Microsoft announced at CES that will be released in Natal year end, we, we think it will be for mid-November and Thanksgiving, and we should have a dozen titles ready."

It's not known what games these are, but it'll be interesting to see what pops up at GDC in March, and E3 June. As always we'll bring you any updates."




Is having 12 Ubisoft motion games a good thing or a bad thing :)

I doubt they will do more than they did on the Wii...if they do, I'm gonna beat the crap ouf them.

The article was from someone who was responding to the dozens of articles on tech-sites that were predicting that the Zune would have an impact on the iPod; and I would have posted the articles directly, but it’s surprising how often tech-sites “lose” articles where they embarrass themselves. While I can’t recall anyone claiming the Zune would dominate, it was one of a steady stream of products that tech-writers have over-hyped and overstated its importance.

ahah 70-80% I doubt that. No way almost every publisher is working on a NATAL game unless MS really opened up their checkbook.

Ubisoft has 12 games for Natal, and all will be ready for the launch?

So Ubisoft is going to focus on HD consoles instead of the Wii because they don't trust the casual base, but they're making 12 Natal games? Do they want us to believe they're focusing on 12 big budget AAA HD Natal games at once? Does Ubisoft believe that Microsoft is going to steal the entire casual market overnight with the next big fad? Or does Ubisoft believe that Natal will be HARDCORE motion controls for HARDCORE gamers? Do they realize that 12 Natal games will probably cost more than their last 29 Wii games?

I have a feeling Ubisoft will treat Natal the same way they treated the Wii. They're going to make 80 crappy games for it, and hope they get a big franchise out of one of them. All they got out of 80 Wii games was Red Steel and the Raving Rabbids.

I think all you Microsoft guys should get ready for this:



"With the new intuitive control scheme, Natal makes it feel like you and your friends are really imagining that you're party babyz!"

Nobody would pay a flat fee subscription to a download service if he can't keep what he downloaded once subscription expires, that one was another failed attempt by MS to make people renting SW and contents instead of buying them, to have a neverending stream of money frome each customer. When you subscribe for satellite or cable TV, are there men in black that come at your home with magnets and hammers to wipe your tapes and HDD's and crush your DVD-R's once subscription ends?

Edit: anyway I was just trying to be a little bit nice to Natal showing that it's almost impossible that MS makes with it so many dumb and dreadful errors as what it did with Zune.

I hoped you invented that title and photoshopped that cover, now that I found it exists I'm quite sympathizing with good ol' Herod  :-S

Hahaha. No... you guys are in for a treat when it comes to the big new push of Ubisoft support. Unless they think they're going to pull 12 motion-controlled Assassin's Creeds out of their... asses.

Either way I'm on the edge of my seat. This is gonna be good. If Natal delivers half of what it's promised, I'll want to buy it.
