Now this is how you develop a PC version of a multi-platform title. Far Cry 3 PC is the definition of what developers can achieve when they’re taking advantage of the PC. Not only does the game look fabulous, it also scales incredibly on four CPU cores, and showcases the huge difference between a game that is optimized for dual-cores and one that is optimized for quad-cores. It’s ironic – given the fact that this is a Ubisoft title – but Far Cry 3 is the most optimized PC game of 2012 and you can read below the reasons why we consider it this good.

Cameron Manwaring has informed us about a new live-action short film for Far Cry 3, that was made by Devin Graham, Leanna Pareja, Jacob Schwarz, and Clint Jones. It’s a great video, though the first-person perspective cannot come close to the one made by FreddieW. Obviously, the team still needs time to refine its skills, however this attempt in capturing Far Cry 3’s atmosphere is definitely cool. Kudos to them, and you can view the video below. Enjoy!

Ah, the true magic of modern-day PC gaming. There is a reason why we don’t like UPLAY, and this is precisely one of those reasons. So, another new Ubisoft game, another set of server issues. Man, that’s simply awesome. As you may have guessed, Far Cry 3 has been released on the PC, and there are currently some server issues due to UPLAY. Continue reading Far Cry 3 PC Server Issues, Ubisoft Working On Them→

Ah, the beauty of SweetFX; a tool that can literally transform a game into a piece of art. A tool that can make a game look exactly the way you want to. A tool that is a must-have for every PC gamer. Therefore, we’ll be posting a comparison – after the Performance Analysis of each and every title – between its vanilla and its modded version. Since everyone has a different opinion on what looks best, we’ll also be featuring your configs (alongside some comparison shots that you’ll have to send us, as well as what was your take on using those parameters).

Remember when Ubisoft stated that it was putting a lot of effort on the PC port of Assassin’s Creed III? Remember when it stated that PC gamers would be happy – and proud – about the PC version of it? Remember when the company said that the delay of the PC version was in order to ensure that it would be optimized for the PC platform? Well, as usual, none of them were true. Assassin’s Creed III PC is an awful console port, with a DX11 renderer that is seriously bugged and does not perform as good as the older DX9 one that was used in all previous versions of Assassin’s Creed. Not only that, but the game does not take advantage of multi-core CPUs, meaning that each and everyone will be CPU limited in the blink of an eye.

Good news for all Assassin’s Creed fans, as Ubisoft has released a Thanksgiving patch for Assassin’s Creed 3. This patch fixes one hell of SP issues, improves the multiplayer mode, fixes rare crashes and bugs. Console owners will be prompted to download it the moment they connect their consoles to the Internet. PC gamers should be prompted too. If not, this patch has already been applied to the release version of the game, so there is nothing you can really do about its abysmal performance. Continue reading Assassin’s Creed III Thanksgiving Patch Is Now Available For Download→
Ubisoft has been demonstrating Far Cry 3’s level editor in Malmo Sweden, and Ubisoft’s forum member ‘FallenChamp’ has unveiled some interesting details about it. Good news is that the level editor will also come on consoles, as FallenChamp had the chance to test the X360 version of it. Unfortunately though, we do not know if Ubisoft will offer cross-platform capabilities to it, meaning that your PC level will only be playable on the PC version of the game.
