Ubisoft will likely steer clear of hardcore shooters because the market is too narrow for it to be a viable business choice said Rainbow Six Vegas 2 game designer Phil Therien.
In a LiveText Interview with our sister site Eurogamer.net Therien said they would like to be able to please both sides but " compromises have to be made."
" We have some ideas to improve on the situation though - keep in mind however that we want our games to be accessible to as many people as possible, otherwise we just couldn' t keep making games."
Therien had been asked whether the company planned to reintroduce more realistic shooters such as the original Ghost Recon on current-generation hardware.
He also revealed that there won' t be a demo version of Vegas 2.
" We took the decision to spend our time on polishing the game and the demo option was cut," he said.
" It' s really time-consuming to create a demo and we needed the dev time to finish our game."
He also explained that four-player co-op was reduced to two-player because the single-player levels couldn' t easily support four players.
Therien says that there are virtually no differences between the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Vegas 2 - and at the moment there are no plans for working on the Nintendo Wii.
