So everyone wants to gripe about Vista being a resource hog. Vista pales in comparison to this GAME.:laughing:

Cant wait to see the b******g that happens to hard core gamers when they see this.

another reason why console gaming is superior to pc gaming....runs away from the PC gamer fanatic

reminds me of when Quake came out, and i was selling software at Electronics Boutique as a wee lad...people asked if they could run it on the minimum specs....sure at about 1/8th screen size! hehe

 

[objecterror]

so, looking at the specs alone i could spend roughly 700+ on an upgrade(oh wait, vista, and the game) versus the steep price of one PS3 including controller(oh, no hdmi cables) the game and the HD television.

I swear, these companies think us gamers are made out of money.

Assassin's Creed is not out for PC Yet, it will come out on March I think

I have just watched video from youtube for that game, and this games rocks, it is similar to Prince of Persia.

No it is not out. This is all about the requirements for it to RUN on a PC. People comeplain that Vista is recommended to have 2GB. This is recommended to have 3GB. That is just the start. Lets not even get into the CPU or GFX cards.
