Ubisoft does it again.... UPDATE: CONFIRMED

That is right, Ubisoft ye Updatet again fails(well... maybe... we will see if these specs are true) to properly port a game to the PC.

Assassins Creed for the PC has rumored Recommended Specs as follows.

Intel Core 2 Duo, or better processor

3 GB System RAM

ATI HD2900 series, Nvidia GeForce 8800 series, or better video card

5.1 sound card

Microsoft Xbox 360 controller

... Sorry, but if this is true, Ubisoft deserves to be locked up and beaten(everyone working there).

edit - Let me clarify. these are only RUMORED specs. I personally think they aren't correct but then again, this is Ubisoft. Only time will tell I guess.

UPDATE: This rumor IS correct. Ubisoft is now proposterously hopeless.

horrowhip

Intel Pentium core 2 duo... yeah sounds about right, since pentium and core 2 duo are very different.

im a noob -- Are those specs really high end or what?Haziqonfire

im a noob -- Are those specs really high end or what?Haziqonfire

higher than Crysis. I won't need to say any more.

call me ignorants, but what's the problem here? Those are Recommended not Required right? Not too badPhoebusFlows

those are higher than Crysis' recommended specs.

the required specs are also higher than Crysis require specs.

* Windows XP or Vista
* 2 GB RAM
* Dual core processor (Intel Pentium D or better)
* 256MB Direct3D 10 compatible video card, or Direct3D 9 card compatible with Shader Model 3.0 or higher
* DirectX compatible driver
* DVD-ROM dual-layer drive
* 16 GB free hard disk space

16GB of HD Space.... WTF are they doing? Put "stuff" on my PC? And you should know what I mean by "stuff."

I didnt know that was higher than Crysis.

Still, if the game running on Xbox 360 and PS3 is running on multiple cores, I would think the same should be for PC in order to stream those huge levels.
Not to pick on PC, but this is why many console people picked consoles. Just buy the game, put it in the drive, and play. What we lose in mods and future upgrades, we also have piece of mind when it comes to many games.

and thats why you get a console to play assassins creed which will run the game on 512 mb of ram instead of 3 gigs. CrazyCarter

But how does this game look on PC?

no, this is Ubisoft being lazy. If you can run CoD4 or UT3, you should have been able to run this JUST FINE. but Ubisoft seems to give the PC the finger with every port it does.

I missed the video card part. 8800 recommended :o

that IS insane. wow

Is this even a fact?

Uhh... it's funny you think this is even real...rimnet00

i dunno... this IS Ubisoft. It really isn't that hard to believe considering how little Ubisoft tries on their PC ports. I don't think it will be true but if it is....

who cares. looks great on consoles. looks at the reviews. the graphics are beautiful. big worlds, no slowdown, the cities are packed with people. all on 512 ram and $400, not at least a grand.

And people wonder why pc gaming is not big.Neoguru25

what? Because Ubisoft puts as much effort into porting their games to the PC as my dog takes at not crapping on the floor (which isn't any at all).

I'm sorry, but anyone who is a PC gamer would know it's bull.

A reliable anonymous source has sent along details on the system requirements for the PC release of Assassin's Creed. The specs look rather demanding and it's clear that you'll need a Crysis-capable PC to run Assassin's Creed in its full glory on PC.

It must be the same reliable source that had ps3 owners hypes for Crysis coming to ps3.

I am a PC Gamer. I do think it is bull.. It sure better be bull. However, the recent trend with Ubisoft lends a TINY bit of worry to me...

Holy moses they're insane!

3 gigs RAM!?

16 gigs HDD!?

Wow. If this isn't a slap in the face to PC users and console goers alike, I don't know what is.

I'm really interested in seeing a screenshot of this game now.

I know. Listen, I am now regretting ever posting this. I was just saying this was possible. It probably isn't but if it is true... Just wanted to give people some warning ahead of time that Ubisoft may not have put any effort into this port

well... Ubisoft released the specs officially today.

The whole CPU and GPU were wrong... as in I don't see 8800 required to play.

....Wow. o_o I wonder if it will end up like Resident Evil...too high specs while the game looks worse than the Gamecube version (unless user mad texture pack is added...then its the same).Maybe it has extra graphcal effects?

i posted the recommended specs. Did I say required? wait... lemme go check

edit - no... I was correct. The recommended specs were correct. Core 2 Duo recommended, 3GB of RAM recommended(this was the part that was proposterous). They seem to be refusing to specify actual card for recommended but I imagine it is the 8800.

Is there no limit to the epic failings of Ubisoft?

Didn't they say a while back that they were making FarCry 2 to boost their reputation amongst the PC gaming crowd?

How about they give us some decent ports instead of screwing around and giving us this kind of crap? :|

shoeman12

yeah. but who knows what it will look like off the recommended specs. Still... the only part that was particularly proposterous and hard to believe was the 3GB of RAM, which was confirmed to be true...

Considering that the game runs on the 360 I would have expeceted a minimum specs along the linges of

Amd 64 3400+ Equivalent or better ( AMD 64 4200+ Or equivalent reccomended)

1 Gig Ram ( 2Gig Reccomended)

256MB DX9 Compatable Video Card ( Geforece 8 series for DX10)

But then agian, my recet experiences with Ubi PC ports havent been that great.

Intel core 2 duo---I got
3GB of ram---I got
HD 2900 and above---I got a HD 2600XT....so i dont got i dont think

Good thing i got a 360....

Intel pentium core 2 duo? that's not even a processor, that's 2 different CPU. And the new recommended from ubi just stated you can play with a penitum d or athlon x2... wich are both weaker then core 2 duo.

ATI RADEON X1300-1950 / HD 2000 / 3000 series

So where does it say 8800 required again? All it says in the specs is 256 MB DirectX 10.0-compliant video card or DirectX 9.0-compliant card with Shader Model 3.0 or higher (512 MB video card recommended) (see supported list)*

i guess all those nerds who spent a grand on their pc for crysis have to do the same again. their pc is already obsolete. :lol:

How is this even more powerfull then crysis?

Like I said, the only part in all of this that was particularly full of fail was the required 2GB and Recommended 3GB.... I mean seriously... A freaking high school student could optimize the engine to use the RAM more efficiently than that...horrowhip
