Ubisoft has announced that the upcoming PC version of Assassin's Creed will finally be available at retail this March.
Although late, the PC version of the title is not just any old Assassin's Creed. No, no -- this one is the Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition, which features four brand new exclusive types of investigations. There's no word on what these new investigation types will be; the console versions feature things like pickpocketing, various informer missions, eavesdropping, and smacking around dudes in back alleys for information. (Which is not as naughty as it sounds.)
One of the biggest issues many people had with the game when it hit consoles was the lack of game variety. I just recently pushed through Assassin's Creed on the Xbox 360, and despite the lack of things to actually do, scaling the various locations of the Third Crusade was reasonably entertaining. I'm not sure if slapping on a few extra investigation types will change anyone's mind on the lack of variety, but it's a nice extra for PC gamers who've been patient this long.
Wait a minute ... no one is going to be able to play this! Have you seen the specs for this monster?!?

Seriously, if you don't have a videocard like that, you're not a PC gamer. Or your PC is several years old. Same argument for the processor.
However, this game doesn't look that good to begin with, so my guess is Ubisoft is too lazy to optimize its code properly.
Well, considering that my laptop almost certainly couldn’t run Half-Life, this isn’t a concern for me anyway.
Both Destructoid and Kotaku seem to lack journalists who are PC gamers ... at the very least, both sites imply that the specs for this game are insane, but the PC gamers I know have been beyond these specs for months, and anyone who isn't, is on the verge of an upgrade...
I can't argue with you. I am certainly not a PC gamer. We have a few on the staff, but it's definitely a niche I'm looking to fill. Anyone thing they have the chops to be a Destructoid PC guy? Private message or email me.
If any of you have an AM2-based motherboard, the Athlon X2 5400+ (65-watt version) is less than $100 and 2 GB of RAM is less than $50 nowadays. Yes, yes, I know that it's easy to just throw prices around when it's other people's money, but the point is that it's not all that difficult to get a decent gaming rig upgrade for less than $200.
Lol Quad Core Ati X1900 FTW.
Did all of you who say you can run it notice that it requires Dual Layer DVD drive?
They aren't hard to come by, but the DL DVD drives aren't exactly common.
It felt unfinished and I really couldn't get into it.
Why? They're higher than Crysis', and the game doesn't even come close to Crysis in terms of quality.
New investigation type two: humiliation. You spread rumors about your target to all of his closest friends. Gay rumors. Your target is so disgraced he dismembers a part of his body. Part is random, and may include penis.
New investigation type three: You ask the guild of assassins where you left your glasses. The entire time your glasses are on your head. This has no effect on the game at all.
New investigation type four: Water Boarding your target's family members. What? It's not torture! You do this by leaving the game and signing up for the army.
Sure the system requirements are stupidly high, and I hope they go down over time, but will minimum settings still look good? Some games really don't look THAT terrible on lower settings, and if Assassin's creed is one of them I may check it out.
yes it has 360 joypad support.
And 3GB recommended? Is that implying that processes might hit the 2GB cap, or would have actually crossed it? At least that would have been a VALID reason to go Vista Exclusive, unlike some games *coughHalo2cough*
While my PC certainly has the chops to run what looks to be a bloated and unpolished port like Ubis last few PC offerings, knowing that its going to have the sort of copy protection that requires me to send photos of the game disc pressed up against my scrotum to their main office makes me a sad panda.
At least the pirate community will fix this oversight and release an .exe that works with all dvd drives.
