It's pretty big news for the next gen consoles. I know a lot of people have this game on pre-order. It's not a minor push back either. Spring 2014 could mean up to 6 months from it's original release date. Something big must have gone wrong. Ubisoft is certainly not above putting out buggy, broken games.
Of course for us PC gamers, this is just business as usual from Ubi. Time someone else got willy slapped by them for a change. :sneaky:
Next gen consoles are vastly underpowered, the games running on actual hardware are looking inferior to what has been available on PC for atleast 18 months. They really fcked up with these 8 core netbook cpus.
Well, the PS3 and 360 were equivalent to higher end gaming PCs when they came out. They cost a fortune and suffered rather high failure rates as they literally melted themselves to death. Sure you could slam a Titan or HD 5990 in there with a 8 core AMD FX or Haswell i7-4771. However the thing would cost two grand and be able to heat an apartment block. Nobody's going to buy that. You got to strike a balance between what's powerful and what's practical for consumers.
Besides, part of why PC games need so much power is because of poor optimization. It's why Bioshock Infinite runs smooth on my system but Assassin's Creed III runs like crap.
Yeah. It would have been much better with a tegra 4 but we are stuck now.
Tegra 4 is a 32-bit processor, so RAM would be limited to 4GB. Tegra 6 will be the first 64-bit ARM processor from nVidia. It's due out sometime in 2014. AFAIK, the Apple A7 is the only consumer grade 64-bit ARM processor currently on the market.
