ubisoft doesnt know how to optimize on PC? SAY IT AINT SO

 

[TheSeks]

Except AC games typically don't even run well on the recommended specs.

This is true and why I fear these recommended specs. If it needs a 2gig minimum, I can't imagine it running well on 4gig+ VRAM. :/

 

[Smokey]

Ubi

pls

 

[Buzzbrad]

Did they do Far Cry 3 for PC because that ran fine.

No Ubisoft Montreal did that.

 

[catmario]

I only just realized this is coming from a Japanese website I've never heard of before.

Skepticism just increased ten fold. Is anyone familiar with it?

Sorry, It's not Japanese, It's south korea website. The most popular Korean Video game site, Ruliweb.

And He posted additional evidence. Check the link.

 

[Foxyone]

Perhaps the console versions will be running medium settings or something.

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Whoa isn't a 290x only about 30% faster than a 7970? o.o I have a feeling Ubisoft messed something up with the game...

 

[Guardian Monkey]

I was expecting Skynet to be minimum specs. Ubisoft must be improving their coding.

 

[catmario]

System requirements has spotted on Pre-order page. Official Confirmed.

I want to post source link, but this requires personnel ID number. So I'll skip this.

 

[hunnies28]

Durante will fix everything right guys?

 

[SmartBase]

I'd probably be happy with these steeper requirements if a competent developer was behind them, but this is Ubisoft.

 

[OldGangWarily]

Exactly. I'm staying the helllllllllllllllllllllllll away. Knowing their track record and the abysmal port for "Stutter Dogs"

 

[Love Hate Love]

yeesh. and if it's a bad port.........

 

[Buzzman]

Weird how according to that page the same CPUs are both the minimum and recommended? Did they develop this game on a single PC?

 

[opticalmace]

Weird how according to that page the i5-2500K is both the minimum and recommended? Did they develop this game on a single PC?

No, they would also accept an 8350. :lol

So it basically is official. Damn... Time to cancel my PC pre-order.

[dreamfall]

After playing AC3, Black Flag at 30fps locked with some crazy visual settings and it running hot- I'm going in for my 900p experience on the PS4.

Excited, but wary.

 

[inm8num2]

Durante will fix everything right guys?

In Durante one must trust!

 

[AHA-Lambda]

An i7? :/

 

[Derp]

Did they do Far Cry 3 for PC because that ran fine.

Nah Kiev didn't touch FC3.

Trust me, you'll know when Kiev touches something. They'll make sure you know. They'll leave their mark of death on it.

 

[kudoboi]

So it basically is official. Damn... Time to cancel my PC pre-order.

Yeah same here but I'm still waiting for this to be more official.

 

[BasilZero]

I guess this is the beginning of where I wont be able to play the games being released in the future until I do a upgrade .

Oh well. 1-2 years from now I'll have a better PC!

 

[garbagejuicer]

So what percentage of PCs that people game on do not meet the minimum specs? I think it would be about 60-65%. That is if these are the correct figures. Anyone else have a guess? Maybe even more?

Edit: it's gotta be more, maybe 75%

 

[koutoru]

And just like that my Athlon 750k and GTX 760 can't even meet minimum requirements.

I didn't expect it to happen so soon, but I'll wait for benchmarks.

 

[Denton]

And again, case of extremely inflated min specs that has no basis in reality, just like in the previous "nextgen" PC games.

And again people losing their shit.

 

[TAJ]

New console gens used to actually sport pretty nice hardware when they came out.

Even Nvidia admitted that 360 was better than PC on launch day and none of their hardware was in it.

 

[Valtýr]

the extended console generation has totally spoiled the PC crowd. welcome to the future?

 

[AU Tiger]

Who in their right minds would still be considering a pc preorder after we saw what they did with watchdogs?!?

And fukkin lol @ that minimum GPU



.... my baby...

 

[TheSeks]

What the hell is this?

Source code. Well, not "source code" but development code with comments (// On XBOX...) from the devs about the various things they're configuration the effects for/performance.

Also one comment about "this is PC only, who cares"/Ubisoft doesn't give a damn about their PC ports.

I'll be waiting to see how the benchmarks for this goes. I knew I was going to have to upgrade the GPU eventually but I'm not sure I'd upgrade it to Unity, especially since the co-op isn't what I'd be buying it for.

 

[Buzzman]

Checking steam surveys, GTX 680, 770, 780, 780 Ti and 7970 take up roughly 5% combined.

 

[hengyu]

Dat console experience for cinematic parity and stuff. Something something 30fps feels better.

 

[Loofy]

Imagine the requirements if the consoles didnt use tablet AMD CPUs and mid range graphics cards.

Ubisoft PC ports in a nutshell.

holy shit...

 

[Rip]

lmao

+1

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Gees guys. How quickly everyone forgets the Evil Within minimum 4gb graphics card specs. A game that maxed pout at 1.5gb vram usage and ran fine on lower end shit.

 

[hockeypuck]

System requirements has spotted on Pre-order page. Official Confirmed.

The CPU requirements are the same for both minimum and recommended?

 

[Foxyone]

The Digital Foundry comparison is gonna be pretty good.

 

[Radec]

Wait for PC impressions before buying this game on PC folks.

 

[Buzzbrad]

+1 for me also.

 

[nbthedude]

.... my baby...

I'm not planning on it because this series has become suspect gameplay wise, but let's not get hyperbolic. If you have a high end system, you probably are still running this better than the console version. As shitty of a port as Watch Dogs was, it was still true for that, as it was also true for recent other demanding games like Mordor and Evil Within.

 

[AzureSkies]

I have a 7870

I guess I just can't handle this game.

 

[Denton]

Watchdogs ran much better on my PC than on any console. If Unity runs the same, I will be golden. And I have only 280x and over clocked 2500k.
I wonder what leads them to inflating their specs so much.

 

[air jordans for dogs]

System requirements: this is pc only, who cares

 

[Buzzbrad]

System requirements: this is pc only, who cares

What are you talking about?

 

[Skux]

So that's how they'll achieve parity, they'll just make it run like shit on every PC.

 

[UnObtainium17]

I'm not even sure if my 970 can average 50+ fps on this game at 1080p. The minimum cpu is at least a fucking i5 too. God damn. Will just wait for a price drop on a ps4 version. idk but I've never seen an AC game that wasn't poorly ported to pc. Been that way probably since AC 1.

 

[Vire]

Or you know, they've played an Assassins Creed game on PC in the past and know exactly what to expect.

Shit performance.

 

[JohnGrimm]

I wonder what leads them to inflating their specs so much.

A studio notorious for bad ports, working on two games at the same time, one of which is using a new engine might be the cause.

More likely is that zero fucks were given during the porting process.

 

[Tahnit]

Ok now im worried my i7 920 oc to 3.6 gigz isnt going to cut it this time. May be time to get this one on PS4.
