Gear up i5 users, this game has 2500k as 'minimum' requirements. And what's even more terrifying, 'GTX 680' or 'HD 7970' is the BARE minimum. You got to be kidding me! 50GB of storage space required, impressive.

Anybody else sees WD v2 coming? What are your thoughts on the game's requirements?

They have got to be kidding us. Maybe for the GFX, they meant 4k reqs

Maybe this is the end for Ubisoft? With that kind of Reqs, no one will buy the game and 70% of Ubisoft's customer is PC Gamers.

Could I hope that this game will be so innovative and add so much new game-play, that they .. forget to optimize the code? Even a little?

P.S. Now i get the 30fps marketing crap. This game won't be a cinematic experience, but a slideshow. Not cool Ubi 🙁 Not cool

Nah no way those are actual requirement, they are using these reqs as marketing ploy to hype how next gen and great the graphic are.

Yeah same thing happened to Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor! I hope it just a troll from Ubisoft
