Ubisoft Recommends Intel Core i7-3770, Nvidia GTX 780 For Assassin's Creed Unity

[redgarl]

Will be optimized like Watch Dogs... euh... wait...

In b4 Ubisuck announces that Far Cry 4 will require an i7-4770k, 8 GB RAM, and a GTX 780 Ti as minimum requirements.

:O this stuff is why I console game. PC gamers always seem so miserable and angry and get the boot.

 

[SessouXFX]

For what purpose?

If they intend to drop the framerates, is there really a need to have such requirements to run 30 FPS? or was UBIsoft just talking out of their collective backsides?

At 30FPS, I should be able to run a Phenom 9850 and a ATI/AMD 4850, and see these supposed "great results" we were reading so much about, because news flash, UBIsoft's developers aren't going to do more for the PC crowd, just because PC runs games better than consoles do. Nope. They'll hard cap the framerates and be as lazy as possible while porting the game.

i dunno man, the recommended specs look killer. This game is going to look amazing with all the gameworks additions.

I think this bit from Linus TechTips pretty much sums it up:

When a developer treats you as an idiot and a second rate customer you'll inevitably become angry at their practices. I don't question platform choices but please don't generalize PC gamers as no one likes being angry, the crappy business practices which handicap honest consumers are what grind our gears.

I really don't care much about the new AC's anymore But I really HOPE Far Cry 4 is optimized! It better be optimized!!!

i doubt it. its not like crytek is good at optimization or anything

 

[Thaisnang]

FC 4 is developed by Ubioft Montreal not crytek.

It seems pc sales are so slow that makers of games have now helped them out by pushing them to buy new pc

Yeah, like Watchdogs....And likely just as unoptimized to boot, if not worse. It's been par for the course for them for awhile now and it's really pathetic, really beneath the Gamer Community to be okay with their totally "oblivious by choice" flaws that adorn their releases.

I think this bit from Linus TechTips pretty much sums it up:

....in a nutshell...and shoved deep inside the biggest Liberty Safe on the market. Having been a part of their F2P title for 3 years, there's nothing else to say about UBIsoft that wasn't said in that piece. Keep digging!

oh didn't realize that. It'll still suck

 

[Bloob]

If UPlay is going to raise the requirements this much, I guess I'll stay away from all games using from now on. It can't honestly be anything else than Uplay, since the game is likely the same-old-same-old it's been since 2.

 

[CAaronD]

Don't tell me somebody has to make a "worseMOD" for AC4 lol

 

[Leadbelly78]

Every time any game is ported from a console too a PC it's screwed up.
I have a very powerful system but I don't want to upgrade my PC every time another game ups the system requirements.

This is becoming a pattern. Looks like the best way to go is to buy this type of stuff on the console and stick to strategy and simulation on the PC.

True, nothing can beat strategy games on a PC as well as RTS games.

This is the only way to push things forward. If you're a "pc gamer" then you should have a decent system and not onboard crappy graphics. Otherwise just play on console. Consoles are closed systems and can produce excellent graphics for the hardware, it takes more from a pc to do so. <3 my pc.

Perhaps it does push things forward, but if I was a PC game developer (and I do program daily) I would try to make my games run on the oldest PCs, even from 2005, with steady framerates. I would try to make my game efficient and low-resource. I wouldn't say "Well, the top hardware can take it so let's be lazy with out code".

It is ridiculous these file sizes that PC games are getting. It would take me ages to download a 50GB game. I would rather get my game on a CD-ROM disk like the old days. There is one good explanation for a file size like that in terms of coders: DRP (dont repeat yourself)

Giant file sizes can be due to laziness such as large numbers of video files or audio files from many different languages (like Titanfall). Nowadays even though hard drives are readily affordable, not everyone has the net speed of South Korea, so those without a good connection are left in the dust sadly.

 

[pezonator]

I agree with you. It would be nice if they did make a smooth experience all across the board. There should be no reason why they can't add a few settings to drop the detail.

With those requirements my character better be able to enter any building in the map and move around anything visible. Sleep in any bed of any building, eat any food I encounter and take a shit in any toilet. Is this the future of games or just poor ass optimizations?

Poor Ass Optimizations is UBIsoft's new motto....
