Love Assassin's Creed 2? Want to play it on PC? Enjoy looking at numbers that bear no significance to normal people? Well strap yourself in and prepare for your wildest dreams to come true! Ubisoft has today revealed the technical specs for Assassin's Creed 2 on PC. You can look at them with your face.
The PC version of Assassin's Creed 2 will launch with the DLC episodes Battle of Forli and Bonfire of the Vanities. There will be a "Black Edition" with additional content that will be available as a digital download only for $64.99. The regular edition will be for download and retail, costing $59.99.
Hit the jump for the full technical specs. You'll notice the game needs at least 1.5 GB of RAM. Fortunately, however, my PC has enough going spare that I could probably give it 4.5.

What the hell is that being used on? Crysis on max only uses up 1.2GB, and not even the app I'm testing right now, completely unoptimised uses that much. Jesus.
Yes, I only have 2GB. Sucks for me. Everything else is higher than recommendeds though.
That better fucking be sarcasm. A two-year-old machine could run Assassin's Creed II.
And once again, LOL at the higher price. That's pretty bullshit considering how you can get the console version of the game for $40 right now, and by March it'll probably be $30.
I see what you did there, TPL.
Could I just call you PL? Or is that too casual?
I'm sorry. Did I make everything awkward?
I have a 5 year old laptop and I'm starting college soon, so I'll have to get a MacBook (it's required). I just can't afford anything at the moment. So no, not sarcasm, just being poor.
As for whether it 100% needs it, or if they could do a better job of optimizing, well, we'll never know...
fuck you ubisoft.
Hell I work at a Target, we've sold hardly ANY PC versions of MW2. It wasn't until we did a sale for $49.99 that the spot on the shelf is empty.
Most PC gamers and gamers in general think the price of games is too high to warrent a want to purchase them, ESPECAILLY when the game is ported almost 6 months from it's first release.
And frankly, the only reason why it almost worked with IW is because MW2 is more popular than god.
Assassin's Creed 2 is not in fact more popular than god, and therefore will not sell shit on PC. Especially considering most people avoided buying the first game until it went on sale for $5 on steam. Oops lol!
4 months after it comes out and box copies are going for clearance prices at the local Target.
We pay the equivalent of $96 for a 360/ps3 game. A standard regular edition game.

OH YOU <3
<3 you jimbo
I see what you're getting at, but still, the games I'm playing have a far reduced "minimum" RAM to that and look better and have more advanced physics etc. This is a MINIMUM after all, I'd expect 1.5GB of a recommended spec.
I guess I'm just fickle after they botched the PC version of AC1.
And I can't believe I missed that last line. Hahaha.
I completely agree about game prices. Honestly, I know games still sell today, but I think we'd see games bought more (minus this crummy economy right now), if they were cheaper.
Heck, why do so many game companies complain about used game sales? Why don't they compete by being cheaper?
I don't even know if that makes sense. I guess if game companies would scale back, they'd do better, and could make their games cheaper...
However they gotta realize that when games are priced like this, I only buy two to three games a year at the most, and when they start charging $10 more for what's essentually an older title that is "good" but nothing to write home about, I'm not going to buy it.
Hell last time I actually bought a full priced PC game was ArmA 2 almost a year or so ago. 99% of the time I get my games either through gift cards, or preorder bonuses (<3 that 33.75 deal steam had to preorder Borderlands with 4 other people).
They just don't care anymore. They do the sloppiest ports possible, throw some shitty DRM on it, charge extra money for no reason, and blame piracy when it doesn't sell. I hate these people.
You misspelled "worst".
