Even the best card won't do anything if your game can't take advantage of it and runs like fat kid after a cake.

The game runs quite well on my shitty notebook's integrated graphics card, so I can't complain.

No biggie. Ass Creed isn't important to me either. I just buy better games.

I'm pretty sure Activision and every CoD:Ghosts PC player would have something to say about that

If the game is poorly optimized, you may need a time machine to get a card that can run it well.

Anyone who's played GTA IV on PC would differ.

Yeah, just buy a new GPU

Because everyone on the planet can just buy another 200-300 dollar GPU so we can run your game. I don't mind upgrading after a few years, but I really hope I wouldn't have to upgrade from my GTX 660 by the end of next year. It should last me through most of 2015. But if developers are gonna have this mentality, I'm gonna have to upgrade before the end of 2014

or we can just buy a batter game

Hmm, ok I just get it in couple years when I got my next GPU...

Not that I would buy one even then...

Yeah Ubisoft, some people won't buy your game...

I had it with lazy devs. If they want to do this kind of shit, I won't even bother playing their games. Just because we have the option to upgrade parts, that means we don't need the optimisation also?

I heard AC4 is actually pretty well-optimized for PC. No?

This marks UBISOFT on my list...

Bethesda did also did a poor optimization on its games, maybe because of license conflicts and deadlines.

We'll atleast the community of modders have optimized the games themselves. Hopefully this ASS SHIT 4

mod-able so we can atleast run it good. Or if not fuck to UBISOFT talk about pure laziness get flagged!

AC4, off the list. Ubisoft, on the list. (The blacklist, that is.)

This isn't that big of a deal now because the new consoles are very similar to PC's architecture. That means most devs won't need to put much work into their games to make them them run well on PC.

Rofl ubisoft.

Not buying your games again.

I'm willing to bet with this shitstorm, we'll be seeing an apology from a CEO or someone else high up on the chain saying that the producer's words were taken out of context or something similar.

Fucking lazy ass developers!! Even if XB1 and PS4 have not that high hardware specs, their games will run laggy on a PC with similar specs (and even higher powered PCs) coz they're too lazy to optimize..And they'll rudely tell that b'coz of piracy it's not profitable to develop for PC, so we'll lazily port our game straight from console to PC and let it run like shit on even higher end PC AND tell PC guys to upgrade hardware...
And i remember ubisoft posting Watch dogs minimum specs to be quad core!!! For ultra go and buy at least octacore CPU just so that ubisoft can caress their egoistic ass and watch us PC players play on shit quality even on stronger hardware..I'M FUCKING TIRED OF YOUR SHIT UBISOFFT AND ALL THIS CONSOLE CENTERED GAMING INDUSTRY!!!!!!!

What an absolute fuckface. Thankfully, as an associate producer, he's likely got nothing to do with the programmers and is just speaking some insane console fanboy fanaticism.

Haha. This is how i view computer talk. XD

btw, a puny 5750 Can run it on all high with FXAA, then all lighting shenanigans at off and still averaging at 22.
Quite an improvement compared to ACIII

well, according to one comment "the quote is taken totally out of context." Clicky. I think the guy says it's not referring to a lack of concern for final product optimization, just for the time during development.

What I just said in a chat about this:

05:26 - ░▒∷ Ֆнιȵøвι ∷▒░: an assoc. prod. that has no clue about optimisation cycles or why just "getting better hardware" won't always magically improve perf.
05:27 - ░▒∷ Ֆнιȵøвι ∷▒░: and also thinks it's fine to release unoptimised code that forces people to upgrade to new hardware to play a game, when they can use current hardware to run better looking / more hardware intensive games BETTER, NOW
05:27 - ░▒∷ Ֆнιȵøвι ∷▒░: unbe-fucking-lievable

My 2 cents. Guy's straight-up nuts.

Let me scalp him. Let me lock him in a tiny room with a power outlet, a $400 AMD APU laptop, a Steam account with 1000 new games, all the instant noodles he needs, and nothing else. Let's see if he thinks optimisation isn't important now.
