Ubisoft: New Consoles Help Creativity

[Antari]

Sooooo let me get this straight. Ubisoft is blaming hardware manufacturer's for their own lack of creativity? ... A face palm doesn't even come close to covering this level of absolute stupidity. Hell even captcha knows your standing under a "glass ceiling" with this idea Yves Guillemot.

"New consoles Help Creativity."

...really?

I wonder why...could it be the improved hardware removing restrictions and limitations in place due to old technology preventing the expansion and development of new ideas? The fact that old hardware establishes boundaries that prevent implementing creative solutions for technological advancements?

You know what else helps creativity? A PC. I'm a creative guy, and I make and use modifications that completely transform some of the games I play--and I don't own, work for, or am generally associated with a million dollar software development company. And I'm not gonna continue, cause I'm enjoying other things at the moment.

Well the thing is you still need games TO modify. And it's not so much outdated hardware that prevents creativity, as it is Microsoft and Sony banning Mods.

They only banned mods because most of them were being made at a higher quality level than the origional game. It was in essense making them look bad, and generally stupid in alot of cases. If you want to blame anyone for the lack of creativity and risk in the game industry, you can blame accountants. Penny pinchers shoving deadlines into areas of total impracticality. Second in line is the decision makers (CEOs and CFOs) who are uneducated enough to listen to them.

He's right because...well, technology can bring out new possibilities and Watch Dogs shows that.

He's wrong because he's the wrong person to state that when his company hasn't given us more Watch Dogs within this generation (not to mention technology doesn't prevent someone from thinking up of new ways to play a game).
