  • Assassin's Creed Unity PC Requirements Are Again on the Steep Side

    Hold onto your butts, PC game players, the system requirements for Assassin's Creed Unity are here and they are steep.
    64-bit operating system
    Required

    Supported OS
    Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8/8.1 (64bit versions only)

    Processor
    Minimum
    Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.3 GHz or AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz or AMD Phenom II x4 940 @ 3.0 GHz

    Recommended
    Intel Core i7-3770 @ 3.4 GHz or AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz or better

    RAM
    Minimum
    6 GB

    Recommended
    8GB

    Video Card
    Minimum
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 or AMD Radeon HD 7970 (2 GB VRAM)

    Recommended
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 or AMD Radeon R9 290X (3 GB VRAM)

    DirectX
    Version 11

    Sound Card
    DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card with latest drivers

    Hard Drive Space
    50 GB available space

    Peripherals Supported
    Windows-compatible keyboard and mouse required, optional controller

    Multiplayer
    256 kbps or faster broadband connection

    Supported Video Cards at Time of Release
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 or better, GeForce GTX 700 series; AMD Radeon HD7970 or better, Radeon R9 200 series
    Note: Laptop versions of these cards may work but are NOT officially supported.

    Yep, the i5-2500k is now a "minimum" requirement for a game. Your GTX 680? A minimum requirement level video card.

    What do you think? Poorly optimized game, inflated requirements to avoid issues of having to deal with people that have lesser hardware, or is the game really that demanding?

      Unity has had a real interesting seven days. Last week, SpatialOS from developer Improbable was apparently barred from being used within Unity development.

      A change in Unity's business model has been met with some harsh criticism from developers all over, with at least one calling it "an absolute fucking catastrophe."
