Remove the DRM if you really want it to be successful and price at 49usd(or perhaps even lower), since the game has been out for months now on console.

You guys are still waiting?

I don't mind playing this 3D Vision Surround with everything max instead of 560p 30fps like you. LOL.

Kurylo3d4832d ago

totally worth waiting for a version thats 10x better performance and graphically wise.

I have yet to see a dx 11 game that justifies the money sink asides from Civ V

just_looken4832d ago

to both above pc games have just dove into directx10.0 and 2012 directx 12 is comeing out (win8).

Metro, Stalker ... and... uhh... maybe Battlefield3 when we got some details. =/

Though most of DX11's features a bit more on the subtle side.

More like what should be considered a standard port job.

*Golf Clap* Greaaat.

Having the ability to change the resolution, amounts of AA and AF etc aren't some sort of additional "features", they're pretty much the standard for PC games. When a game doesn't allow the use of AA for expample, it's normally critised by the PC gaming community, and rightly so.

Also optimising the engine for good performance should be second nature when it comes to porting and bringing a game to the PC, but alas more and more devs are getting lazy and looking for a quick cash grab. I didn't play AC2 on PC, but I've heard some generally less that favourable comments about how well it ran.

"The other advantage is the guarantee of hard-drive installation which ensures decent loading times."

That bit made me laugh! HDD installation!? Thanks so much Ubisoft! /s

Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."

Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.

*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*

At this point, only dummies have any hope left for Ubi-junk games.

Every industry has these issues

Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
