Ubisoft is planning multiple games for the PS4's launch.
When asked whether Ubisoft will offer it a similar level of support to the Wii U and Vita console launches - which saw six and five games respectively in Europe - CEO Yves Guillemot told Digital Spy: "That's what we're trying to do.
"It's part of our DNA to be early, because we think it's the best way to put the company in the new features that are offered.
"With the Wii U, for example, the fact that we went touch on a new, double screen, all of those things you're able to do afterwards in all the creations you do.
"Being early on all the machines is making the company learn fast, and learn early."
Meanwhile, Guillemot said that it plans to release "some" other games like Watch Dogs across two generations like the PS3 and PS4, while others will remain be console-specific.
"For some of them, but not all [will be cross-generation]," he said.
"There will be specific games for certain types of machines taking advantage of specific features. As I said, it will be the case for some of the games."

Every industry has these issues
Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
Skull and Bones surprises with second-highest player engagement in Ubisoft's history, marking an unexpected success story.
Funny how all the clickhate was trying to spin that it was "struggling" to reach these very numbers.
Over 700 Ubisoft staff in France strike due to failed salary talks, highlighting a major dispute over fair compensation.
Ubisoft is eroding from within. They used to be such a great publisher, but their hubris, greed, ignorance, and willingness to embrace crappy business practices such as intentionally releasing broken games with a "patch it later" mentality just so they can garner Black Friday sales, their in-game cash shops to sell you virtual junk, over priced collectors editions where their price increases but their quality remains the same, giant open bland land masses to explore packed with copy & paste boring filler side quests designed to waste your time with menial tasks.
And let's not forget their employees constantly getting pissed at the executives treating them like crap, which has been an on-going problem for years. Yeah, Ubisoft had rightfully earned their title of Ubi-junk.
What a shame.
Couldn't happened to a more deserving company. Here's to a AAAA Strike for all those well deserved AAAA Salaries.
🖕 Choke on it U-beSawft.
The industry is hitting some issues I'm seeing games not selling as well, Sony projections are down, games cost way too much to make and are not hitting return on investment, and now employees demanding to be paid more.
It reminds me of the movie industry. The cost to make movies aren't making their money back yet you have everyone demanding to be paid more. The things that needs to change are cost of development including employee/contractor wages, and I'd even say to lower the MSRP on games. I know they are trying like hell to monetize games to bring in recurring revenue like mobile games, but that's not the answer. The onus is on the industry to correct this and I think the way to do it is cutting back on costs.
I don't see how employees can demand to be paid more when sh*t like Skull and Bones isn't bringing back money and god knows how much they spent on the development of that game. I think I remember seeing that after Black Flag or when Sea of Thieves was announced.
Sweet, now show the games and bring them out !
After far cry 3 Im a big believer in Ubisoft and whatch dogs looks incredible cant wait to see what theve got planned next gen! Far cry 4 please!
ubisoft are amazing
I liked them after Anno 2070 but i hate that awful that forced Uplay window that opens up before I get to play my games on PC. They're trying too hard to be Steam, but what they just end up doing is adding some unoptimized software on my laptop. It loads extremely slow on an i7 CPU.
Remember how everyone said Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, etc didn't count for the Wii U launch? Same thing should apply here. Watch Dogs and Grand Theft Auto V don't count, remember? rofl
