Ubisoft: Xbox 360 and PS3 too Limited for Good AI
And the good news? Graphics are no longer as important.
Graphics whores and people who want video games to be like movies... well, duck. Ubisoft's executive director of production services Yves Jacquier has stated that, "the industry expects that graphics will not be a strong feature any more." He also tilted at both the Xbox 360 and PS3.
"In general the industry expects that graphics will not be a strong feature any more... Obviously, graphics are better for marketing purposes because you can show things. AI you can't show", he says while discussing the problems with decent AI and how valuable that element of gaming is.
He continues, "Our challenge with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox [360] is that we're extremely limited in what we can do. It's a challenge for the engineers to provide nice graphics and nice AI and nice sound with a very small amount of memory and computation time."
Graphics not important? Consoles too limited? Sounds refreshing... screen refreshing. What do you reckon, tell us in the Comments below.

It's pretty worrying that they're not fussed about pushing the limits with graphics, or possibly even looking for new technology to create next gen graphics. I wouldn't consider buying a next gen console if the graphics weren't a big step up from the current standard.
