I wouldn't worry, its shit.

 

[giant384]

pretty steep requirements there.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

And on that note, instead of creating a new thread; Alan Wake is now Vista exclusive for the billionth time, gg. Good thing I finally made the switch.

My old computer can't even run AC. I figured first gen dual-cores would at least last a bit longer.

 

[Dalamari]

Thank God I've got an XBOX

 

[Rapstah]

Thank God I've got a PS3

 

[VictimOfScience]

Thank god I've got a Wii! (just in general)

3GB RAM recommended?? Geez....

 

[nurizeko]

Thank god I don't play console to PC ports.

 

[smwScott]

I wouldn't worry about it. It sounds like an unoptimized piece of crap port. The game looks nowhere near good enough to need those ridiculous specs.

 

[VictimOfScience]

Ack! 12GB hard drive space??? Wow. Way to keep the load times down I guess. The ridiculous RAM requirement will help with that too I guess. Really makes you appreciate your respective next-gen console(s) now doesn't it?

 

[Deleted member 56031]

That's steep requirements for a crap game :O

 

[Sedako]

I thought they delayed the PC release for further optimization... Looks to me like they were jerking off the entire time.

 

[Deleted member 56031]

Heck it's ubisoft. Ubisoft have never been good with PC ports.

 

[jimbo118]

3gb ram recommended!!!!??/facepalms

meh you won't be missing out on much tbh.

 

[Dekstar]

You'd think that since it was running on pretty much a PC anyway, they could keep to what the Xbox360 has in it's hardware (albeit needing more HD space). How the hell did they manage to make it require MORE specs?

Am I missing something?

 

[Javert]

Mass Effect is twice the game AC is, and will probably have only 1/2 the system requirements (except maybe for gfx card)

 

[VictimOfScience]

Mass Effect is twice the game AC is, and will probably have only 1/2 the system requirements (except maybe for gfx card)

Yeah, good systems with plenty of RAM should not suffer the ridiculous textures pop-in from ME either. But yes, ME is actually more like 3 or 4 times the game that AC is.

 

[Raziaar]

Will there be a map editor? There has to be a map editor dammit!

Yes. Capitalism.

From ubisoft? None for bare bones straight ports that usually don't work? I don't think so

 

[Barnz]

Ack! 12GB hard drive space??? Wow.

It comes with 10 GB Jade Raymond photo & video archive.

 

[Deleted member 56031]

Woot!

 

[VictimOfScience]

It comes with 10 GB Jade Raymond photo & video archive.

Pre-ordered. naughty

I would get the Collector's Edition.

Pfft. Any game that doesnt capture my interest 4 hours in is not an ideal game.

 

[[Matt]]

pc gaming is starting to piss me off... theres not really any benefits these days to playing a game on pc over its console counterpart thanks to most games bieng tailored for console gamers...

I think the machine im writing this post on will probably be my last...

 

[Shift]

4 hours?! I was done with AC with like 40 minutes.

 

[PimpinPenguin]

WTF this is higher spec than Crysis. I'am giving up PC gaming after this computer there's no point anymore. I should have guessed Ubisoft would **** it up i mean Resident Evil 4 PC with no mouse support and weaker graphics than the PS2 version.

 

[taviow]

This just can't be true. I buy my new computer and then, 2 days after I do i, I find out that soon there will not be a point in having done so anymore.

**** ubisoft.

 

[Steven]

Who can honestly afford to keep up with modern pc games? Personally I wish developers would go for more mainstream PC requirements.

 

[Warbie]

Aye, it sucks balls. I'd be more than happy with Source quality gfx for the next few years, but noooooo.

 

[taviow]

Who would not? IT WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER!

 

[Bad^Hat]

Mass Effect is twice the game AC is, and will probably have only 1/2 the system requirements

And ran thrice as crap. :|

Edit - Also, I highly endorse the above three posts. You almost have to wonder just how much graphics card companies are paying PC devs to make it worth their while.
