Ubisoft's Patrice Desilets: Wii roughly equivalent to PS2, Xbox

Ubisoft Montreal's Assassin's Creed - Image 1


In an interview, Ubisoft Montreal's Assassin's Creed (Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Windows PC) creative director Patrice Desilets stated that the upcoming next-gen video game is not possible on the Nintendo Wii, saying the console is all about casual games. Desi lets believes the Nintendo Wii is comparable to the Sony PlayStation 2 and the original Microsoft Xbox.

"In terms of processing power and graphics capabilities the Wii is roughly equivalent to the PS2 and the first Xbox," he said. After talking about Assassin's Creed as a title that uses the current technology to do the Crusades justice, and boasting of Ubisoft's proprietary engine that allows "over 150 individual AIs running at a single time and huge cities where everything is interactive and climbable," Desilets concluded that such game is not possible on the Nintendo Wii hardware.

Assassin's Creed is scheduled for release this November 13 on the Sony PS3 and Microsoft Xbox 360, with the PC version soon to follow. The video game is supposed to be under the "flower box" category, a unique gaming experience Desilets defined as "a sandbox experience that is heavily story driven."

That's like saying Heavenly Sword is not possible on the PS1. I mean nintendo JUST started using DVDs when devs are maxing it out... They use cheap consoles and games to make a quick buck. When the 360 got HALO 3, everyone forgot about the Wii, and the same is going to happen for MGS4, Mass Effect, FFXIII, DMC4, and this. The Wii isn't a game console, it's a toy...

It's possible, they just have to use less polygons, but they would need to lower them SO MUCH to gain the processing power the AI use that the game would look like mario 64... lol. I'm not sure I would be fealling like the game is real when it uses around 45 polygons for the main character... LOL

Unreal Tournament 3 would be possible on the Wii as well it would just look like Unreal Tournament 1973 is all (hyperbole).

even if they were to make it look like a super nin game, the wii could not handle the AI at all. It's processor is to weak (an overclocked Gamecube chip if im not mistaking).

Finally the Wii has been exposed, as the piece of ***** which I knew it was right from the beginning.

I'm pretty sure everyone can agree that the Wii is a GameCube 1.5, even Wii owners. Nintendo just put their stock into novelty rather than hardware, winning over the masses that say that games that use newer hardware are evil and should be expunged.
