Far Cry 3 – PC System Requirements Revealed

Ubisoft has revealed the official system requirements for its upcoming open-world FPS title, Far Cry 3. The good news here is that Far Cry 3 will support DX11 (for high-end GPUs), as well as DX9 and Windows XP. The bad news is that these system requirements are so generic that do not provide us anything worth writing about. Ubisoft did not even provide us with the Hard-Disk requirements, or the ‘real’ release date for the PC version of its title. Because, let’s face it – this game will most probably get delayed at the last month or so. Pretty much like every Ubisoft game. Continue reading Far Cry 3 – PC System Requirements Revealed

User’s Articles: I Am Alive – PC Performance Overview

Written By Vladimir Rosenkov

After announcing the cancellation of I Am Alive’s PC version, Ubisoft decided to reconsider it, and finally release it. The game was released to the PC on September 4th and here is a performance overview for it.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 could be brought back as a digital-only title

Ah, Beyond Good & Evil – a great game that did not meet the appropriate commercial success. Even though gamers loved Ubisoft’s new IP, the game ultimately met Shiny’s Giants: Citizen Kabuto and Sacrifice fate and didn’t sell well, despite the positive reviews it got. And although Ubisoft stated – back in 2011 – that Beyond Good & Evil 2 was under development, apart from some leaked screenshots and a video, we have not gotten any new information about its status – until now. Continue reading Beyond Good & Evil 2 could be brought back as a digital-only title
