Eight cores? Jesus christ I don't actually know anyone who has eight cores yet. E: As in I don't think anyone has seen the point in getting one.

Yeah, Intel's home user stuff only has 4 max, though they have 8 threads. AMD's stuff has ridiculous number of cores but they're also awful. vvv Oops, didn't notice the 3930k down there. vvv Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Oct 3, 2013 |

Intel really likes hyperthreading, saying that makes every core become two logical cores, even though effectively, it doesn't give the same performance as two physical cores. Also, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu8Sekdb-IE

On one hand, my computer is pretty lacking compared to those specs. On the other hand, I'm pretty drat stoked that the advent of the new console generation means that 99% of everything that comes out now won't have to be hamstrung anymore by almost decade old graphics, RAM, and CPU specs! Here's to a new generation of better textures and at least a couple years of not having to see a loading screen every 5 seconds!

I just about meet the minimum specification, but I'm going to get it on the PS4 once its price drops. I've been so used to running last-gen games at 1080p60 that I really don't want to get it on PC if it doesn't look or run as well as it does on the PS4. E: VVV Yeah, but I'm worried I won't even reach that. I'm getting a PS4 at launch, so I don't want to also spend money upgrading my computer too.

Cool, I guess that finally answers how PC ports of next-gen games are going to deal with the 32/64 bit OS issue. I didn't dare hope they would go 64 only but it's the best outcome.

Anybody know if/when Steam will have a pre-order? I see one on Amazon, but nothing on Steam. I really hope Ubisoft isn't trying to do with Uplay what EA did with Origin.

Is the game using software rendering or what :P (even ultra settings require only a gtx 670, ...)? The hardware requirements look like a complete joke. Like the posters above me said, recommending an 8 core CPU then giving Intel i7-3370 (4 core + hyperthreading) as an example. Judging by the videos, if they did at least a half decent job at pc optimization, the game shouldn't have higher hardware requirements than lets say Assassin's Creed 3. Seriously the game will also run on PS3 and Xbox 360 and look fairly decent. The only way those hardware specs make sense is, if Ubisoft has developed a PS4 emulator for windows  . In that case... great, I'm looking forward on playing PS4 exclusives on PC

Yeah, and they wouldn't do that. No sane video game developer would do that. The only video game I can think of with requirements like that is Just Cause 2, which does not run in DX9 or 10 and thus requires Windows 7.

According to steam less than half of 1% of its users have 8 core cpus, kind of surprised this bullshit gained so much traction it needed to be officially debunked.

Didn't Microsoft want to drop 32 bit with Windows 8 and OEMs threw a fit, so MS made them a 32 bit edition?

The only reason I would have believed you would NEED 8 cores would be from plain old 'well, I've never had an up to date for modern gaming computer before. Why would it start to be good enough now?'  level paranoia now that I've finally splurged to go from 2 cores and Windows Vista, to 4 and Windows 7.I wouldn't have been surprised if it had been true, because I can barely remember what my computer specs are let alone what they do and the  master race is all about reminding me of the days I had an Atari playing Dig Dug when the Sega Genesis came out. But I wouldn't have expected it to be true either until proven otherwise, because jacking up the minimum requirements to needing an entirely new top of the line system while it works for Consoles, is probably very stupid for PC if you want sales.Even then, was getting this on PS4 for plain old "Don't need to buy two loving copies of one game for it's single player" with my brother  EDIT: My computer knowledge amounts to 'read minimum requirements' and 'use computer'. But even then I wouldn't have expected 8 Core blowjob cooled CPU's to be the recommended requirement for a game being released in one form or another before the year's end.

That loving Sned posted:I think both consoles dedicate 2 to the OS, but that still means that games are running with 6 cores, and could utilise that many on the PC too. Probably not require 6, though. The Jaguar cores in the consoles are intended to be low-power cores for things like netbooks. If you have a quad-core desktop processor or better from the last couple of years there is pretty much no way that anything designed for consoles will be CPU bound.

Those kind of specs make me think that the game wasn't optimized at all for PC, and they instead focused on the 5 other platforms that they were releasing the game on. I hope I'm wrong.

At this point I'm just going to wait for the game to be released and see. Either Ubisoft has no idea how to port a game (likely.) or everyone, including Ubisoft's store, is just guessing the system requirements. (also likely.)
