Move over Crysis

What's it requiring then?

Bit mad really.
With my SLi'd GTXs in XP Pro 32-bit, I can only have 2.8GB of RAM anyway!
Will it be a good game, or just good looking?

From what I've heard, it's visually very stunning, but gameplay is not that innovative. What I'd prefer seeing, than more FPS and assassin style games with stunning environments that one does not really interact with, are more single player CRPG's with stunning immersive environments where one can interact with every aspect of the environment.

Perhaps the next Elder Scrolls will deliver that type of environment? It's not even announced, but it's a given. I'd say it won't get announced until after Bethsoft finishes Fallout 3.

Thats about what i have heard, i was hoping it was going to be more like thief, and i agree more interaction would be welcomed. Again only going on word of mouth but there are meant to be no go areas, so that you have to do things one way or not at all. Some walls can be climbed but identical walls cant etc.
As Slobogob says its a port so i guess it was to be expected.
The next Elder scrolls will as you say most likley be very good. We will prob all be on DX 11/ 12 by then though

To heck with that. Google Fary Cry2. I think the machine to run that will come out by 2020.

At the high end yes but as i mentioned about Crysis, Far Cry 2 looks like its been scaled properly so you can at least run it on a older system.
Ok so it wont be as pretty, I have a 3000+ machine that runs Crysis ok, It looks like the original Far Cry did on a 9800 which was top of the line back then, but i have to have every thing on low. So obviously im missing the eye candy.
Given all the bad feedback about playability i will probably give Assassins creed a miss. I was really only drawing attention to the level of hardware that is becoming the norm with the newer releases.
Is it a good or bad thing that it will force people to upgrade or just not play the games. As i said im not sure, on the one hand people who cant afford it are being hard done by, on the other is it worth the extra expense vs consumer base increase to do the scaling. Guess this is where we find out.

Hey guys, I've been playing the game for a few days now on PC (yea i know it's not out yet), and it's not to bad.
They did the port pretty well (well, better then other ports ), with the mouse and keyboard layout working pretty nicely. I'm playing the game at 1920x1280 everything maxed out, and it's very very very smooth.
I'm running it on a 8800gtx, c2d e6600, 2gb ram, XP.
Graphics are ok, not crysis good, but pretty decent, looks the same as the console version for the most part.
All in all it's not a bad port at all, Smoother then I thought it would be, and they made the keyboard mouse work, which is nice (none of those; "To jump, push the left jumper button" ).

Monnewbie.

Guys I think those specs are false, I own it on 360 and it runs 60fps all the time I believe. I havent been outside in the PC version but indoors at least its locked at 160FPS with the occasional drop to 140fps. Im not even kidding, dont worry this game is not a system hog. I looked in the task manager and it was taking 600mb and Im talkin about the DX10 version

the reason for 3 gigs is most likely vista

Not that I'm holding my breath for a FPS, but if it ever comes out, I'm getting it:

Duke Nukem' Forever!

I remember a friend playing Duke Nukem somewhere around the time I was playing Daggerfall.

What gets me is how do those guys at that company make a living if they're constantly promising a game that never arrives? What else does that studio do?

Some things that are a miss at $49 might be worth it at $10 down the line. Then we can at least say we didn't spend too much to take screenshots of Altair standing on top of a tower in medieval Jerusalem or Damascus. Those are the visuals in all the previews that make the game look almost worth it.

You'd think they studied under Square Enix's marketing department: have a major character sitting on a roof looking across a beautiful cityscape.

Apologies to Square Enix, I actually had fun with FF7, both PS and PC. It's just that one scene during installation that's so breathtaking, you want to climb up there too; but it wasn't actually in the game itself.

In Assassin's Creed, Altair supposedly has to climb towers to get his bearings. He must have flunked Hiding While Scoping Out the Territory 101 in Assassin's school at OMM Polytechnic.
