The minimum requirements for Ubisoft Montreal's Watch Dogs game were revealed by its creative director. According to a recent post on his Twitter Jonathan Morin revealed that the minimum requirements for his work will be:
- IntelCore 2 Quad Q8400 2.66Ghz or AMDPhenom II X4 940 3.0Ghz
- RAM 6GB
- 1024 VRAM DirectX 11 Shader 5.0 SCard: DirectX9
- 25 GB
This announcement of low minimum requirements comes at a time when there is still talk of last week's controversy caused by the trailer that was released recently. When comparing this trailer to the trailer that was launched at E3 2012, it is noted that the new trailer has a considerably lower level of graphics than 2012. Many players felt betrayed by Ubisoft Montreal as the game was delayed when only 4 were left weeks for its release and many people pre-purchased the game with the graphics that had been revealed previously.
Meanwhile Morin explained that the 2012 trailer was pulled from the desktop version with graphics at maximum, while this new trailer was pulled from the PS4 version. It is surprising that although the game was in production this 5 years ago, apparently the PC version of 2012 will have better graphics than the 2014 version for PS4 and probably XBox One as well.
The Watch Dogs game is expected to be released only on 27 next May.
