Ubisoft has said that its open-world hack-\u2018n-shoot action game, Watch Dogs, will use PC as its lead platform.<\/p>\n
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said that the PC will be a focus of the game, while porting to the Playstation 4 will be easier than it was with PS3, due to the AMD-based architecture of Sony\u2019s forthcoming console.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe expect fewer problems with porting games to the PS4 than the PS3, which had a completely different infrastructure. Previously, we developed games first on the Xbox 360 and then translated them onto the PS3. It took a lot of time and money to port,\u201d explained Guillemot.<\/p>\n
Ubisoft\u2019s technical director, Sebastien Viard, also mentioned that Watch Dogs will not be using the Assassin\u2019s Creed engine as speculated, and instead runs on an entirely new engine.<\/p>\n
“Watch Dogs uses a brand new engine called Disrupt, developed specifically for the game at Ubisoft Montreal,” Viard said. “It’s not Assassin’s Creed engine.”<\/p>\n
Ubisoft has confirmed that the game will hit current-gen consoles (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U), PS4 and PC.<\/p>\n
