Ubisoft Working On 10 Natal Games, 4-5 PS Motion Controller Games

During the question and answer part of the investor conference call that was held yesterday, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot elucidated the company’s commitment to support and develop games on the new motion based platforms from Microsoft (Project Natal) and Sony (Playstation Motion Controller).

“We have about ten games that will come for Natal during the first six months of the launch of Natal, and we expect between four to five games for the new controller from Sony,” Guillemot explained. “That’s the picture at the moment, it can change in the next twelve months.” The ‘twelve month’ reference gives us a clearer time frame on when we can expect the motion based platforms to be available, even though Sony had implied a ‘Spring 2010′ launch for its motion controller.

Further, when asked if he was referring to new intellectual properties or adding motion support to existing game franchises, we fear we do not have good news. “I didn’t count the games that in fact are supporting the new functions that those accessories will bring. I was more speaking about casual games that we are doing on those two machines; we can consider that on those games it’s 70 percent new property.” said Guillemot to, we are guessing, a lot of our disappointment.
