Social components will be the defining difference between current and next-gen consoles, says Yannis Mallat
The next Xbox will be aligned with similar specifications and features to Sony’s PS4, Ubisoft CEO Yannis Mallat has said.
Speaking to Eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-03-29-annualised-assassins-next-gen-and-ploughing-fields-the-boss-of-ubisoft-montreal), Mallat said that the new Xbox, codenamed Durango, would be more social and connected than the Xbox 360, although did not state whether this would mean the ‘always-online’ functionality that has been heavily speculated.
"It's going to be connected. It's going to be social. It's going to be immersive. It's going to be interactive," he said.
In a broader statement on new consoles, Mallat said the most obvious difference between current and next-gen titles would be the graphics, but that it was the new social integration and features that would define the generation.
"Let's state the obvious: the easy and immediate thing is going to be the graphics," he said.
