WHAT THE HELL? 3 GB?

and with that monster PC you get to climb the same building over and over. it takes alot of PC horsepower to sit on benches and eavesdrop.

[BlackKnight]

This ties into what was mentioned in the other thread; PC games, especially console to PC ports, are terribly unoptimised compared to the console versions. Can't blame the devs given the unstandardised nature of PC hardware but still..

[Sybarite Paladin AxL]

Sure you can blame 'em. I bet the port will completely suck ass anyway, since they probably did not do ANY optimization work and those specs prove it. Fvck ya'll and your lazy ass game developing sh1t. I'm glad I pirate.

[Shoma]

I iwsh my cpu could pirate

[Gryph]

lol

 

So lame.

[CJ Jackson]

I agree with BK, the one that tends to disagree are either an "Assassin's Creed" fanboy/girl or a well paid moron that doesn't give a damn about anybody else.

 

With laptop gaming on the rise, surely PC Games have got to have a set standard on optimisation (sooner and later) as laptop are not as upgradable as desktop.

As I said, only the ram is my concern, why in the blue hell would we need 3 GB?

[Gryph]

crappy texture management.

[emwearz]

Those min requirements don't make sense, it says DX10.0 lib's is the min DX version but under GFX card it says "DirectX 9.0–compliant card with Shader Model 3.0".

 

I never judge things off apparent specs needed, everyone was telling me I needed Tri SLI'ed 8800GTX's to get Crysis running, and it run just fine on my setup on ultra high, so im not to worried.

 

In general console ports always feel gluggy and poorly done.

[GodPigeon]

well they said the same about Guitar Hero 3, and well it runs fine with my computer

[ken_cinder]

This was reported elsewhere days ago, and I think it's bogus. Those are some VERY steep minimum requirements. Recommended, yes.

 

Anyway, there isn't one shred of evidence from the dev/publisher themselves. Links to said H&S posting return nothing, the forums at Ubisoft Support turn up nothing.

 

I really hope those aren't minimum specs, as they are DISGUSTING all around.

They have different requierements up. I tried it and mine meets the recommended. Hope its true.

 

BTW: http://pc.ign.com/articles/850/850029p1.html

 

Its says release date is march, but i think thats for europe. Also pc gets exclusive types of investigation. I wouldnt have cared even if they just added an apple, cant wait.

[ken_cinder]

According to that, it's just like I said......those were bullshit min reqs. The min reqs posted before, look like recommended ones.

 

I pass across the board.

[Inky]

who cares. the game is a real dog anyways.
